Running To Lose Weight Reviews

by Chelseyross

It’s a basic app that tracks distance, tells you when to run and when to walk. It crashes all the time, if you leave RunningToLoseWeight it will continue to run in background but good luck getting it to open back up to track your run or be able to finish it. So I have to leave it open the entire time I’m running and not answer any calls or change music or else I’ll never get it back correctly. Also when I finish my run it says “complete” and seems to save the run because the next workout comes up on my list (the next day’s run). However, every single day I get a notification from RunningToLoseWeight that says “you haven’t run in 5 days” or “6 days”...etc when I literally ran the day before (I run almost every day using RunningToLoseWeight ). And RunningToLoseWeight “support” is a joke. Don’t count on getting any help there. Not a good app and doesn’t do what it says it does

I tried this for 2 days with the intention of paying for the year plan, but it would crash during my run. Someone previously mentioned my experience with RunningToLoseWeight . During the run, if you exit RunningToLoseWeight to say, play music the run would continue in the background. However, you can’t stop or pause the run. You also have no idea how much longer you need to run/walk. It’s stupid. I downloaded running for weight loss instead and will likely pay for that app. It functions properly.

Now I remember why I deleted RunningToLoseWeight when I had it before. Glitches out at the end of every run- keeps telling you to walk or run, and keeps tracking your gps, but when you open RunningToLoseWeight it isn’t actually recording your run. 🤬

RunningToLoseWeight is a waste of money. I am trying to open RunningToLoseWeight and it shows me the open screen for 2 seconds and RunningToLoseWeight closes itself. Don’t waste your money. Disappointing and dissatisfied!!! I requested my money back 2 months ago, please contact me with the status.

I can’t speak for RunningToLoseWeight itself but my toddler and I play 10 min of a game on my phone after our alphabet lesson. One of their ads came on and had a woman’s rear hanging out of some skimpy shorts promoting RunningToLoseWeight. I didn’t want him to see that. I didn’t want to see that, though I do wish my rear looked like that! I’m sure it’s useful but their marketing is not appropriate for the general population.

You get through the initial sign up and then it freezes on the login page, can’t do anything. I’m assuming since the last comments from RunningToLoseWeight owners was a year ago and there have been no other updates they’ve abandoned RunningToLoseWeight .

I’ve been using RunningToLoseWeight since January. I am a paid premium member. It worked wonderfully for these past two months, until this past week and a half. Recently, RunningToLoseWeight crashes as soon as it is opened. I’ve tried opening and closing RunningToLoseWeight . I’ve tried deleting and then reloading RunningToLoseWeight . That worked a couple times for a one time run. The next day, it would begin the problem again. When I did this, it would delete the progress I had made. Today, nothing has worked. The $40 I’ve spent on an app for it not to work is rather disappointing and frustrating. I have since deleted RunningToLoseWeight and will not be using it again. Avoid RunningToLoseWeight. This problem has persisted too long for it not to have some sort of quick fix.

I am never able to complete a run. After cool down RunningToLoseWeight starts counting in the negative and there is nowhere in RunningToLoseWeight screen to end and complete the run. This is because once you’re out of the main workout screen you can never get back to it. This is terrible design and totally defeats the purpose of RunningToLoseWeight . As for support, I tried to click on it on several occasions. There is no support page that shows up. I always get an error saying page does not exist. Overall I’m sorry for users who spent money on premium content for this. Don’t buy it.

I really want to love this but I’ve been using RunningToLoseWeight for 3 weeks and lose run tracking on at least 1 run a week. I start a run and when I go to end it I’m completely unable to stop it and then it loses track and I have to reboot RunningToLoseWeight and it doesn’t record the run as complete but it shows up in the history. Thought it was a fluke at first but after 3 times in just as many weeks, I’m done with RunningToLoseWeight .

I was super pumped to start running again and the apps seemed great. It started ok but suddenly the circled timer disappeared and I couldnt figure out how to see it again. Then my workout was number one in the list, and that is the one I chose. Half way my run, I noticed the workout I chose was inactive, like I never started it, but the voice kept coaching me. So I deleted RunningToLoseWeight , the experience was chaotic.

I like RunningToLoseWeight when it works. The last few days I have been trying to use RunningToLoseWeight but when I try to open RunningToLoseWeight it opens up for a second and then it closes right away.
Really contemplating deleting all together

Every time you log it it’s trying to get you to go premium. Makes me want to delete it. Not everyone needs what they are offering, but they keep popping up premium ads. Very annoying. Poor advertising

I enjoy running but hate running one constant pace and so got RunningToLoseWeight. I had tried an app similar to this and really enjoyed it but that other app didn’t have much Apple Watch capabilities. Thought I’d try and find another one...and this one is worse. The different programs seem great but these are the issues I had:
1. Still not much Apple Watch capabilities. Unless I missed something. I’ll look more into this and will update my review if I find something.

2. On the other app, you were able to preview the workout. I don’t think that’s an option here.

3. For whatever reason, when I would lock RunningToLoseWeight to go to another app (music, Netflix) when I’d go back in and try to see remaining time for the interval, I couldn’t pull up the timer! It just has a “minutes remaining” in a bar at the bottom but when I tried to swipe it up or any action to get the timer, I couldn’t do it.

I’ll give RunningToLoseWeight one more week and play around with it, then I’ll probably delete it, unless I’m able to figure out my issues with it.

As others have said, if you switch apps or answer a text mid run, you can’t open your run back up. I saw it still “running” on the bottom of the screen, but it was locked? So I can’t open it back up to complete my run?

Other than that, I’m loving RunningToLoseWeight .

I really love RunningToLoseWeight, I even upgraded to premium because the free version kept crashing and I thought it would help. The paid for premium version is inconsistent and buggy as well. It frequently stalls in the middle of a workout and the only way to resume is to cancel out of RunningToLoseWeight and start over (which of course erases everything you have already done). Would be cool if they fixed this..

Loved RunningToLoseWeight and then it stopped working. Tried reinstalling, but nothing worked.

by Oalinka

Loved it was planning to sign up for premium but all of a sudden it’s started crashing. Reinstalling did not help.;(

It is actually really good and it breaks up your run into intervals so your not continuously running and getting a couple walking breaks in between which helps you run longer while you are running

by BananaMaria

Just please please tighten up the known glitches! I don’t want to give you up

I’m ready to lose weight.
