I love this app. Tells me during the segment when I'm 10secs from walking as well as half way or 1minutr left. Not many apps do this. Only issue is I want to move on to 10k and now need to go listen to loads of apps to find one as there isn't a 10k version.

Not too good when it stops constantly and kicks you out of the programme mid run. Free app did better. Disappointed I paid for this. Happened 4 times on me now

love love LOVE this app!! Exactly what I needed. Thank you!! I do wish that it tracked your total distance and running speed so i didn't have to run 2 apps at the same time, but it is awesome!!

Was recommended this app by a friend and it's been really good. I'm sure there are more advanced ones out there that combine music and GPS, but I've used my phone and fit bit for that. Easy to follow and the voice prompts are well-timed, encouraging and comforting! Hoping there's a 10k version to move onto next?!

This app worked for me years ago so I've come back to it for my running again. Simple, solid and sultry with timely encouragement and a smart programme to develop you.

F70%
by F####:

I absolutely love this app. Perfect amount of challenge to keep you excited to run and not quit. One of my favorite features that this app has that others don't is the prompts that let you know you have 30,15 or 10 seconds left. I find that super helpful and encouraging. Please, please, please, make a 10k and on app!!! I so want to continue running with Splendid Things after finishing this!

Perfect. I used this app for many years now, when I need a kick to get back into running shape. Always reliable!

I'm starting my weight loss journey and I used this app about 3 time when I had the galaxy 3s and its amazing.. Now I got it on my LG F6 and omg it even better and I definitely can say that it help me on my runs from the park to home. This app is really great for anyone that want to get back in shape and it can be used anywhere that you choose to go. It would be great if it had a GPS and calories counter. But great app because I can listen to music while I run and I feel great.????????????????

N70%
by N####:

I couldn't run for even a minute, this app is just awsome and does just what it says on the packet - gets you running up to 30 mins which I can now do and have never done in my life! It's easy to use, I can't recommend it enough. Just go slowly and then work on the speed when you can run for 30 mins!

Its not posting my update on Facebook, even though it said it was posted. I've email this query but haven't heard anything yet. I'm using this app to motivate to get back running again

I am extremly EXTREMLY unfit but have wanted to run for the longest time. So finally took the plunge and this app is absolutely everything I needed. Great encouragement and I can filter thro my Spotify so it gets a 5 out of 5 xXxXx

Love this app. It is the perfect get-back-to-running 5k companion & keep coming back to it every year. The voice is encouraging, never annoying while keeping interruptions to a minimum. Wouldn't't hesitate to buy a 10k/21k/42k app from them!

I have always hated running as I could never run any distance. However, this app is actually making be like running. I would give it 5 stars if it would include android wear integration and integration with my fitness pal

I started using this app struggling to do the 60 second runs. Now I'm completing the 30 minute runs feeling good. I really didn't think I was going to be able to do it.

Very simple and nearly perfect. When Facebook posting works, that will bring it to a full 5 stars.

Greatest APP forever

I have never been a runner....even at school running around the 400 mtr track was daunting to say the least. Following this app has been a revelation. I'm currently on week 8, running for 28 mins. OK my pace isn't great, Mo Farrah need not worry...but I'm doing it, and together with a low carb diet, I have lost 11lbs over the 8 weeks. Thoroughly recommended 'cos if I can do this, anyone can!

Now if you could only do a 10k one I'd buy that too.

D70%
by D####:

Really great and motivating runs. But it doesn't record your route - not even distance/number or steps. Which is really a bummer, considering there are other apps that does at a third of the price. I would really like to see how my distance improves over the week (as it is I'm running another app in the background to record distance and pace)

Q70%
by Q####:

I really love this app. It's great to start running as it really starts from the beginning. I'm now at week 6 and I got a lot better. What seemed hard on week 1 is now super easy and I see how much I improved, thanks to this program. You can play your music, and the volume of your song will be turned down when the voice tells you what you need to do. It's great! I recommended to everyone who wants to get in better shape and to those who always wanted to start running but didn't know where to start.

Well, it shows message that status posted to FB successfully, but there is nothing actually posted even after many attempts.

Always liked this for Apple glad it's on Android now.

Android Wear integration would add the final star, would love to be able to see the countdown without breaking my stride to get the phone out of my pocket.

Love it.

Love that this app has an English coach and theres's no constant beeps/klaxons interrupting me all the time. The app is well displayed and easy to follow. I've used this for years but the only thing I'm gutted about is that there's no continuation after 5k. Please do something about it!

Would be nice if it connected to Google fit... And maybe android wear?

I'm finding it fantastic. I haven't run much before and this app is helping me to get started at a great pace, loving it!

Y70%
by Y####:

This is quite a good app to get you running from zero to Hero but is not without its problems. Social sharing to either Facebook Twitter can be very hit and miss or even not existent even if it says it has shared. Another thing people have mentioned it does not have GPS or give you a total distance readout. It actually is not designed for this if you look at it, therefore I could recommend some apps to run alongside this try Endomondo. Run keeper. Runtastic.each having a free version to use

Y70%
by Y####:

I'm the kind of person that never ran - not even to get the bus, I'd simply wait for the next one. And now I'm running 30+ minutes nonstop.

Really useful and noticeable improvements. Easy and effective
