Running Workouts & Weightloss Reviews

Greetings,
To be fair, I liked what I saw in terms of set up and guide; however, RunningWorkoutsWeightloss is listed as free to download since it says “Get”, but once in RunningWorkoutsWeightloss , you only have the choice to buy. They have different subscription levels, but that’s not the same as in-app purchases. In order to avoid looking scammy, just charge $7.99 at the outset and then let people modify after that. This avoids the shock of having to pay money just to proceed with setup when you were looking for “Free” apps, not free trials. Please be more transparent. There are enough one star ⭐️ reviews for you to have fixed this by now. I saw RunningWorkoutsWeightloss as a pop up in another app and downloaded without reading the reviews (I saw all the good ratings), now I understand the bad ones, unfortunately 😒

Please read before you click on this alleged free trial because it’s not free. It charges you up front and this is a deceptive sale practice that should have lawsuit filed against. This may work great but I don’t like to be deceived into a purchase. Give me the opportunity to choose to buy or not to buy and then give no recourse for a refund. This is clearly theft by deception. The money is not the issue for me, it’s the deception. This is the first app that I have ever used that assumes a sale without consent and is proud to let you know they got your money and you can’t get it back even through Apple. This is not over yet, it’s wrong and whoever eats my money is curse with a curse. FYI the curse is FREE no charge and no deception.

Downloaded RunningWorkoutsWeightloss to see how it worked. Did the set up portion and while trying to get it up it quickly came up with a box that looked like you just had to continue through it. Before I knew it, it was charging me $129 with no way to cancel that amount and now apparently no option to get a refund. I never intended to spend $129 on RunningWorkoutsWeightloss, and it’s unconscionable that there is no option for get a refund for an error in purchase when the purchase screen is not clear that you are purchasing a yearly subscription. Was able to cancel the renewal immediately, but apparently no way to get a refund, which is ridiculous

The only thing I would change is, my music is lowered while RunningWorkoutsWeightloss is running. I need music to push through not sure why the volume is lowered while in use. Am I doing something wrong?

I clicked a link in a browser on my phone and was taken to RunningWorkoutsWeightloss Store to view RunningWorkoutsWeightloss. I thought I’d see what it was about. I purchased the “FREE” app and it asked for my height, weight, target weight and running habits in the first 5 minutes. After looking around for another minute, I got a PayPal notification saying I bought a year subscription for $127!!! What?? When did that happen? I immediately called iTunes since the subscription payment went through them and they said they couldn’t help with a subscription refund. I did reach a nice supervisor that said she could refund my money and cancel everything.

Be wary of an app that says on their billing page:

“We cannot manage your subscriptions; this is your responsibility. Learn more about managing subscriptions in App Store.”

It was too easy to get billed for this and others might not try so hard to fix it quickly.

Be forewarned!!!

Love RunningWorkoutsWeightloss really keeps me motivated on the treadmill and know we’re Ian and how to past myself. But I really wish this was this was on the iPhone watch I hate have tap my phone all the time to see how i am in the workout . But overall would highly recommend if your trying know how to keep your past as a beginner.

I can’t believe the company went from $9.99 a month to $9.99 a week. That is a freaking rip off.

I just received this response from betterme and they don’t understand that I was on a $9.99 a month plan and it was canceled by them and then when I tried to sign up again it was changed to $9.99 a week. “Hello, Please note that the cost of BetterMe Running app depends on the subscription plan that our users choose, and there are several options. We hope that everyone finds something that suits them best! Have a great day, Team BetterMe Running”

Okay it’s a free app with in app purchases. No it’s a free download with no access to anything substantial. You get to see the user interface which seemed really nice. However, it just locks you out after it gets your info. You cannot go past go, you can’t try a week of workouts, you can’t try a selected track for a month. Nope you have to buy into a contract. That’s a yikes from me. RunningWorkoutsWeightloss costs as much as a discount gym membership per month. So the interface is excellent the business model needs some help.

I downloaded RunningWorkoutsWeightloss from an ad inside another app just to check it out. I wasn’t paying enough attention to what I was signing up for and accidentally processed an annual membership. They have you fill out personal info for a few seconds then ask for $120. I immediately deleted RunningWorkoutsWeightloss and contacted apple to see about getting my $120 back. This was turned down almost immediately. DO NOT DOWNLOD RunningWorkoutsWeightloss!! Now I have to go to my bank to dispute the charges. RunningWorkoutsWeightloss is highway robbery.

Do not make the mistake of thinking RunningWorkoutsWeightloss is free. After 3 minutes where you enter in your weight, height and desired weight they recommend how much you run. Everything else RunningWorkoutsWeightloss has to offer is $120 with no payment plan system other than the one time annual payment.

It is unethical and very unprofessional to advertise a free app, and before you can even access RunningWorkoutsWeightloss they demand $120.

Some ideas to make RunningWorkoutsWeightloss better.

(1.) Have a free version of RunningWorkoutsWeightloss with limited tools but don’t make it worthless.

(2.) Offer payment plans that are monthly and not annually. This demonstrates that you are more willing to appeal to the customers you want to bring in.

(3.) If you are going to charge $120 for a running app throw in some incentives, or membership rewards otherwise your revenue will not increase.

I hate these apps that are listed as free but don’t actually let you do ANYTHING without paying. It’s all a scam and the practice immediately turns me off from RunningWorkoutsWeightloss. It’s 119/year or 10/month.

**Edit** the developer response says there’s a free trail. That is indeed not the case. You cannot move forward without clicking the pay button. Maybe a bug in RunningWorkoutsWeightloss , or maybe it’s a free trail app I needed to download. Regardless, this version will not let you proceed without paying.

RunningWorkoutsWeightloss is listed as free, however it will only allow you to complete 2 workouts and then it prompts you to buy a subscription if you want to keep going. If that’s the case, be up front about it in your description. I don’t mind ads and pop ups to use a free product, but it’s really aggravating when I think I’m going to use a free app just to find out that it’s a cash grab scheme. I won’t be using anything from this developer from now on.

RunningWorkoutsWeightloss is a complete scam. After you set your goals and enter your height and weight, be careful. The next screen has a continue button with fine print that will charge you over $100. You can barely read the fine print because of the small font and combination of grey text and yellow background. RunningWorkoutsWeightloss does absolutely nothing unless you pay the developer. Stay away.

They’re hoping to make a ton of money by ambiguously leading people to pay for a $120 fee per year with ultra fine print that pretty much everyone is going to miss. When people complain they’ll respond with “We don’t handle refunds, should’ve read that ultra tiny fine print, you’re SOL.” I can’t believe Apple even allows this nonsense. Don’t download. Thankfully I saw reviews but would’ve made the same mistake so many people here already have.

I began quickly hitting notifications to start using RunningWorkoutsWeightloss. Unfortunately I pushed the one that said one year subscription. This quickly charged me 135 dollars. I immediately cancelled the subscription and called Apple support... Apple couldn’t refund me and said I had to write an email to the company specifically! This has scam written all over it. Please beware of this company!!! I still haven’t gotten a response.

I subscribed thinking it was pay by week like it said but when I decided to cancel within 12 hours I was already billed for a full year which is over $120. I realized I have no use for RunningWorkoutsWeightloss! There isn’t any customer support that I know of so I can’t find someone to call and get my money back. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!!! To the developer company, please contact me to help with this charge.

BAD. It will not tell you how to discontinue or delete profile without digging around in vaguely offered information for hours! They just want to make as much money as they can before you figure how to get rid of this crap. It doesn’t actually offer anything special: it just tells you to go run. ALSO. NO THANKS to the generic and completely unhelpful replies to all these 1 star reviews. Shame on you. GO FIX THIS, FOOLS.

I learned my lesson. I should have read the reviews because many people had the same problem as me. I had just barely downloaded RunningWorkoutsWeightloss and they were charging me for a whole year, even after I pressed cancel subscription. I requested a refund considering I didn’t even use RunningWorkoutsWeightloss once and was charged a significant amount. Dont buy it unless you are sure you want it.

Despite the developer’s comments on other users’ negative reviews, there is no ‘trial’ option. You have one option, which is to pay $120 for the year. Additionally, there is no ‘levels’ as described by the developer. It’s $120 or nothing. Poor form.

***Amendment*** There is at least some free content, but you cannot access it until you close and reopen RunningWorkoutsWeightloss .

I suggest all who got scammed do it too.

They’re going to scam you. Don’t download it. There are other apps that are true to their words and what they disclose. They also don’t respond to their emails, neglect what the customer wants, and send a scripted response to those who are unsatisfied instead of trying to help.
SCAM SCAM SCAM.

The amount of bad reviews on RunningWorkoutsWeightloss should tell you what they are.

SCAMMERS.

to add on, they dont refund you because they want to keep their money and they don’t respond to any emails simply because they’re scammersssss!!!

They deceive people and do NOT disclose what you will be paying. They say one thing and charge you another.
