A great app!!!
I've never consistently exercised at all, maybe when I was a little kid, but definitely not in my teenage years. However, yesterday I completed all 8 weeks of this app and it was so much fun! I never knew running could be as enjoyable as it was while doing this training. I didn't think I would be able to finish 8 weeks of any kind of exercising, so being able to do it all was an amazing feeling. I downloaded Zombies, Run! a few years ago and never really used it because I couldn't run much, but now I feel like I am in good enough shape to get more into it. I love exercising now, which I never thought I'd ever say that in my entire life.

Great app for training!
I recently got this app because I have Zombies, Run!, and I had no time to exercise due to being in college, but now I’m starting back running and this app is the best to help you get faster when running. I’m starting to notice that I’m getting a faster pace from it. The only part that is sad is that when I’m jogging or sprinting from imagining zombies, it is not tracking how many miles I have gone. I also wish that there is an Apple Watch feature, because I have to track how many miles I have gone from looking at my workout app on the watch. But overall I give this app a 4.5 star rating.

Brilliant- what an entertaining way to get in shape!
First- the story production is fantastic, entertaining with some mystery. I did learn that you have to hit the stop button after your run otherwise it doesn’t log the run. I also had one issue where I had to restart my phone because the app was frozen but despite this I still give this app 5 stars. Unlike other ‘couch to 5k’ programs, they don’t bleed your bank account dry with a monthly fee. I was looking for a 5k trainer that was different and reasonably priced- this is it! I applaud what you do- thanks for creating an entertaining way for me to get in shape.
