Half Marathon Training Coach for Android
Great app! I've used the paid app twice to train after layoffs from running. I've always been satisfied with the outcome! I've had this app for years and I know the developer tries to make upgrades and make this app the best they can. They are always fast to fix flaws! Keep up the good work!
I love this app, really helped me improve my times and I loved looking at my progress. I see lots of negative comments because it isn't free, but it is a small price to pay for the tools to run a 1/2 marathon well. My only wish is that they would add full Marathon app for Droid users (currently only available to IOS users). This app has worked so well for my running that i have graduated from 5k to 10k to 21k.
Cons: it isn't free. Having paid for the 10K app it was a little annoying to suddenly find out the 21K isn't free as advertised. Pros: it's a good app. I was amazed at how far I was running and I got all the way to 21K without injury.
Don't understand why the app said it's to train for 21k when after 2weeks you have to pay for it.... Should just put a price from the start so people don't download it and be disappointed!
Thought it would help me get to that 13 miles but only can use it for a week of training then must purchase.
A great app to build you up to a half marathon level
Gives me only 404s when I want to see the training plans.
Cool free app.
Not free!
I started using this app as a way to stay motivated (you know, give yourself a goal and stick to it), but I never really expected to run a half without walking. Well, thanks to this app, I ran a 15 mile race in Uganda and a half back in Detroit :) It's a great app and after a couple months of lazy, I re-downloaded it and got back on the roads! I'm not sure why some people are saying it's expensive - the free version has been more than enough for me! Oh, but sometimes it doesn't ding at the halfway point on the interval workouts. Not a huge deal if you're on the treadmill and can keep an eye on the clock, but a little irritating when you're running outside.
I've completed almost six weeks now, and I enjoy the progression of the training and the variation (shorter runs, fast intervals, and weekly long run). With that being said, the notifications during the runs need some work. If the halfway mark is at the exact same time as an interval change, the app will tell me I've reached halfway, but not to change intervals. I've probably missed running intervals about 4 times since I've started. It's frustrating when you're ready to go, and all of a sudden you're told to walk - a big reason for having the app is so it tells me when to walk/run and I don't have to track the time myself. Personally, I'd rather be told my next interval is starting than hearing I'm halfway there.
I had gone through the 10k app (which is awesome!) and the 21k app was free when I downloaded it. But then it updated and I suddenly have to pay. I understand that you put work into it, but it shouldn't suddenly become not free through updates. If I knew I had to pay for it I would've considered starting another program - and it's not fair that I wasn't given a notice that my downloaded free app was suddenly not free anymore.
I used this app last year comletely free and it was extremely helpful for my first half marathon training. Went to download it again for this years training and it wants me to pay ? So disappointed. Would not recommend to anyone thats looking for a "free" app.
This is a great app! It is extremely user friendly, and having an app that guides a person to a goal, helps motivate them to get out and run. Thanks 21K app makers! I would definitely recommend the app to anyone seeking to run a half marathon
No clue as to what features it has and how good the pro program works. It would be good to have at least a 1 month trial to decide and purchase it.
I had purchased this app and pay the full amount and also started using it but unfortunately my phone sent for software update at service center and they delete all the data including this app. Now it is asking to pay again. Please help
I had the full version of this app totally free was great and I loved it. I had to start over so I deleted the app and replaced it to start fresh, now at week 2 I have to pay to keep going. :-/ grrrrr not gonna pay!!
Preparing for a 'camino' and this is really working on building strength and stamina. Can feel the progress I've made and I'm only nearing the end of first week. Thank you and look forward to a 42k one in future.
The program was simple to follow. The voice feedback could improve with distance prompts. BTW, I love me some free stuff, but why is everyone hating on the devs for charging 'a latte' for this app :) You need to run some, they need to eat and pay rent!!
Can you please explain why we now have to pay to get past week 2?? My friend has this app but has got the whole programme for free but you're asking me to pay £5.49!!!! What's going on???
It's not free but it is worth it.....only app that train's to run a entire half marathon. Other apps that are also not free only train you to run half marathon and full marathon by intervals such as run 2 mins and walk two mins through the entire half marathon. There is no full marathon training app. Would pay for a full marathon training app. Just a wish and would pay for...I have a garmin viviactive HR would be nice to sync or if you can come up with a training app for the watch.
Seriously?! Advertising this app as free and then forcing people to pay in order to train to 21k? There is no point!! Just label the app as a free 10k. This is FALSE ADVERTISING!
So I had the 5k and 10 k and 21 k.....I had to redownload and all of a sudden there's a fee??? Why?! It was good while it lasted I guess....
I like the app, and will continue to use and recommend. Can I get a code to finish please .
It used to be free. Now you have to pay... I want start running again and I was hoping to use this app. Unfortunately I'll have to find another one...
GPS tracking doesn't work sometimes, and even when it does the app doesn't tell you your pace, just how far and how long you ran. Would not recommend.
Used it last year for my half marathon, was very disappointed to find out it's not free anymore
I really wanted to run a half marathon but when i reached one of the latest days in the workout i couldnt do it because it costs money, as a 15 year old kid i cant buy this, thus how can i train without a program
I found this app very useful training for my first half
Downloaded this app due to it states it's free, yet after week 2 you have to pay $5.99... Don't post the app as "free" when it's actually not.
Great but not free for sure I believe it was better last year U only geyb2 weeks which u already done with....
Not a free app .. I completed a couple weeks of training just to find out it was 7.99 to continue the programme
NOT FREE. Only one week free then $6. Uninstalled
Good app however disappointing it shows it's free when it's not.
App should not state that it's free in the description.
not a 12 week plan free app!
Cool I love it
No free program
very good

Not free. You get one week. All it does it call out when to stop and start. I'd rather see an app that lets me modify or enter my own schedule with features like regular audio updates on your distance and speed. Basically they're charging you for the schedule. Given that there are hundreds of training schedules available for free online, I don't see how that's worth $8. If you want to charge for the app, charge for the app but I can't believe Google lets you call it "free" when you require an in-app purchase to use 90+% of the app.
