Watch To 5K－Couch To 5km Plan Customer Service

Watch to 5K－Couch to 5km plan Positive Reviews

Exactly what I’ve been looking forThis app is everything I’ve been looking for. I’ve completed the program a few times (!) using different apps and none of them come close to this one (including the one from Active). This is a native Watch app, as opposed to an afterthought for a phone app, and it shows. No fluff, everything that you need and nothing that you don’t. I hate running with my phone. With this app, I can just leave it in my car and go. No setup, no fiddling for 5 minutes. No endless confusing settings. It just starts, and it just works. The prompts are clear as day and to the point, the voice is not annoying (I do appreciate the GB accent!). Integration with the Music app and my bluetooth headset is flawless. Lastly, the Watch screens are great. Easy to read, and again, to the point. Integration with the Health app just works. I really like that it logs separate workouts for warmup/run/cooldown. But maybe that should be an option. I’m in week 3 and haven’t found a bug yet. The only improvement I’d ask for would be to be able to see the workout details before doing them. Oh, and a Watch to 10k app :) There’s nothing like putting on your running shoes and just going out with nothing but your car keys in your pocket. Thank you. I would have gladly paid more..MistikefrVersion: 3.0.2

A really well-designed appSo far I’m not impressed with a lot of apps for the Apple Watch. I bought the Watch with cellular connectivity specifically so I could go exercise without my phone. Other exercise apps seem to really want you to either bring your phone with you when you run, or require all sorts of options and configuration. All I wanted was an app that told me when to run, told me when to walk, integrated with Apple Fitness, and worked reliably. This app is it! It works great! I love that it logs the warmups, cool-downs, and runs as distinct workouts, so Apple Fitness knows to report something as a walk and not a run, etc. The display is intuitive and informative. The interface is dead simple. tl;dr: it just works, and it works well.Lord of the Ochre KeepVersion: 3.9.0

Simple and EffectiveThis is a super streamlined application of couch to 5k, perfect for the watch. It's an uncomplicated way to free you of the phone. All the analytics are available in the Apple Fitness app, so it's fine that it doesn't have all the bells and whistles. If I could, I'd give it 4.5 stars because the volume on the voice prompts is too low. It doesn't dip the background music enough and it doesn't seem to match the volume setting. It also logs the warmup, run, and cooldown as separate workouts in the Fitness app. It's annoying not to be able to see the total distance and route in a single workout. And you can't see your route for the warm up and cool down because it logs it as a walk which doesn't record the route..A2 soe gradVersion: 2.5

Just What I NeededThis is an excellent watch app that was just what I needed to get back into running. No need to bring your phone along, just my watch and AirPods. I start my music, then start the the app and go! The app will lower the music volume temporarily while it’s giving you instructions on when to run, walk, or if you’ve hit the halfway point. A bit of advice I learned the hard way: when the app tells you to slow down to a walk, be sure to walk fast, it will make the transition into full time running easier..JdeimundVersion: 3.0.2

Great watch based running app, needs workout improvementsAs I go back to running on the treadmill at the gym again, I decided to go back to using this app. Overall I really like it, easy to select the run I want, it makes separate workouts for the warmup and cool down as well. Complaints: I have it setup to do inside runs, but when I review the workout there is always this ridiculous squiggle drawing of me running like a madman in all directions at the gym as if it were an outside run even though it is classified as an indoor run. I hope this can be fixed. Also in the workout data there is no breakdown by heart zone. I hope these are things that Apple gives third party developers access to fix..GLevy25Version: 3.9.0

Great App, Missing One FeatureThe app is really well put together. I like that you can re-do runs and it still tracks your progress. It’s also simple on the Watch but you get good stats on the iPhone after. My only criticism is that as most of the weeks are a mix of walks/runs, I can’t check to see what my current pace is during an interval. It only shows the total pace over the entire workout. I’m trying to hit a certain pace and after I hit a walk I no longer know if I’m running fast enough until I check the intervals on the phone afterward. So I can’t adjust to speed up or slow down during the workout. Overall, though, the app is great and I recommend it..Foxford_commVersion: 3.1.0

Overall great watchI love love love that there’s a native Apple Watch C25K app. I’ve used 5k trainer apps on my iPhone for years, but this is by far the best. I can *actually* leave my phone at home. One thing I can’t quite figure out how to make the haptics when switching from running to walking (or vice versa) more prominent. The first workout session there were multiple taps before the timer started for the next interval, but my last two sessions have had just 1.5 taps to cue me to change my pace. Since I don’t use headphones when I run, I rely on the haptics heavily. I hate having to feel like I need to keep an eye on my watch so that I’m not missing an interval..Enr9tVersion: 2.8.0

Low cost for high utilityThis is exactly what I wanted from my exercise and Apple Watch, an app that can take me from couch to 5k with no frills. I love the dialogue when wearing Bluetooth headphones. It would be nice if the app could beep or play a message over the speakers when I don’t have headphones, however. Sometimes I don't feel the prominent vibration while running, but its not a big deal since I think thats a limitation of the watch itself. I highly recommend this app. There are no hidden costs and the features are perfect for my running goals..F P NVersion: 2.4

Great Native Watch Running AppI love quite a few things with this app. And hope for tweaks in just a few areas. The fact it works seamlessly on watch only runs is tremendous. And the cues are great, easy to hear, and with great haptics. It also breaks the walk/runs into separate activities. Which I haven’t seen on other apps. The only tweaks I would have would be to allow for the option to utilize miles over km. I understand the logic. But it just isn't something I am accustomed to seeing after a lifetime of running. And it would be great to see interval runs as well. Great app though. Kudos! 👏.UngerrcVersion: 3.7.0

Simply worksI’ve worked through the C25K program a few times over the years and with various apps. Ben’s option here is the beat for runners who want to carry minimal electronics on their runs. I only need my Apple Watch and my AirPods. It is a very well-designed and developed app. It hasn’t crashed a single time or misreported or caused any other problems for me. Other running apps on the store often treat the Apple Watch as an afterthought which lead to frustrating user experiences and issues with recording the runs. Keep up the great work, Ben!.KyleHayesVersion: 2.1.2

*updated* figured out the crash issue, now 5 starsFollowing up on my review from earlier this week, I found that when listening to music through the music app, the watch crashes when Watch to 5K enters the first run or exits the final run. This is also when the Watch to 5K music option begins and ends. Solved by listening to music through the Watch to 5K app only. Feature request: I would love to be able to listen to music during the warm-up and warm-down walks too..PickleshyVersion: 2.4

*Updated* Distance not recording**updated**user error on my part- all of the permissions were not turned on, therefore not tracking distance. Turned them all on and app works great :) Thank you!! I just got this app today and did my first run. However, my watch and the fitness app did not show the distance. ‘0’ is shown for distance, active calories, total calories, and average pace in the fitness app. I do however love that I don’t need my phone and it shows a map of the run. Just need to figure out the distance data..KBmakesVersion: 2.2.0

Perfect 5k Training Companion 🏃I’ve tried a few different apps and this one is the best! One-time payment and everything just works. The prompts are clear and the tracking is great. I highly recommend this app to anyone looking to start, or re-start running. It’s one of the few apps that don’t try and get a subscription and is truly work the price, without a doubt. Very great app..Ndm5382Version: 3.9.0

Get an iOS app with watch app insteadIt works and is there on your wrist. It shows you when to run and when to walk. Can’t fault that. Also it gives pulse and distance. It tells you how far you went after the workout. Until you hit done. Then it forgets all record except that you have done it. There’s just no way to find a record for the run in the health app. I have to look in fitbod to see my record of the run. Native watch apps are a cute idea but take a lot of work to be useful. This costs the same as an equivalent phone app that probably includes a watch app gratis. I recommend that..M. BubblezVersion: 1.1

Works through watch, is a weekly progression app - RECOMMENDED FOR ALLThis app did everything I needed it to with only a couple things I was left wanting it to do. 1. You don’t need your phone to use this program. 2. It’s a weekly build up program for running. 3. It tracks and syncs to Apple Health. 4. Allows music to be played and coaching queues still work. 5. The phone version is great for a full view of the runs and progress. Wants: 1. Quick pause button - I have to scroll (swipe sideways?) the page to get to pause. 2. Warm up/Cool down and music player - you can’t play omusic while in warm up or end it in cool down because you can’t scroll (swipe sideways) to the music page. You can bypass this by opening the music app on your watch and playing through there. Nice job dev team - it works great..Sara2789Version: 3.0.2

Great, Simple AppThis is exactly what I was looking for: a couch to 5k program where all I needed was my Apple watch and my AirPods. This is just that. Prompts you via your headphones when it’s time to walk or run and gives you an alert when you are half way through so you can turn back around. Also love that this is a 1x purchase and not an ongoing subscription. Great app!.Jay4190Version: 2.8.0

Simple, great appIf you want to train for a 5k run only with your Apple watch and leave your phone at home then this is the app for you. It works simply and does what it claims. I had tried a more expensive couch to 5k app previously and their watch app didn’t work right - the voice prompts didn’t work. This one work seamlessly, I highly recommend it..WhatsthatsmellVersion: 2.4

Good app could be great with one fix.The design is great. The single purchase is perfect. The big glaring problem with this app is the vibration notifications between run/walk aren’t unique or strong enough to really grab your attention when doing physical activity. It means that I have to keep looking at my watch to not miss the next prompt. I, also, can’t for the life of me to get it to play through the watch speaker or my AirPods when they’re connected..SomeJuanElseVersion: 3.7.0

A life changer.I’m 55, and haven’t run in 20 years. After quitting smoking, I finally had the lung capacity and energy levels to try again. I hated the idea of dragging my phone around on runs, so this app—combined with my iWatch, EarPods, and Spotify—was perfect. It helped me accomplish something I’d wished for for many years, but didn’t think possible. So thankful for it..RockBeatsJazzVersion: 3.0.2

Great app!!!!Updated my review after using for two weeks. It’s a fantastic app, and it feels so good to not have to carry a bulky phone. You can easily see your miles logged in the activity on the phone, so the fact that’s it’s in kilometers on the app doesn’t matter. Will you be developing apps for 10k and half marathon training?.JN7654321Version: 2.7.0

Almost thereExcellent app for the purposes of tracking runs without having to carry the dang phone along! I like it so much in fact that I wish I could use it to the exclusion of native fitness apps. If it had just two more features (the ability to track free runs at the end of the 5K program and the ability to toggle to miles), it would be a dream..HappyTeacher2013Version: 2.4

PerfectI used this app for my training and really liked it. Simple interface, easy to use. Not really any customizations, but it did the trick and helped me run for the first time in a few years. Now I am running 30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week without any pain. Definitely worth a few bucks!.SampulbittomVersion: 2.8.0

Great and easy app to useThe only point of frustration was with the initial setup. The instructions on the website say to make sure to setup in the health apps settings. The app won’t show up in there until you hit start on the first training. After that it is simple to setup. This is a great app well worth the $2.99 one time fee..RealAttilaTheBlogVersion: 2.4

Simple, Elegant, and exactly what I wanted!The interface is clean, the voiceover is encouraging, and it lets me leave my phone behind while focusing on my music and my training. This has been a real help in actually starting and committing to a training regimen! Simply put, it does everything I need, and nothing I don’t. If you want to do Couch to 5k with only your Apple Watch, this is the app..DereleasedVersion: 2.1

Made the impossible possibleI am shocked and insanely grateful for how easy this made running for me - something I didn't think was possible. I started it having actually never ran for more than 3-4 min in my entire life (I'm 30) and then to making it through the program..KGKGKGKGKGWVersion: 3.7.0

Great guide through the programI got this to track my attempt at the couch to 5k program and it has done that as expected. It’s easy to use. I like having the prompts telling me when to run and walk. I feel like this app is making the whole process easier for me..ChumdumpVersion: 4.4.0

Great app!Just started today, so far so good. I love the voice assistance; no need to keep looking at watch. I couldn’t get the music to work though…but I don’t know if that is user error. Seriously, get this app!! I hope the developers continue and make a sequel..not having to carry your phone is amazing!.BkfogVersion: 3.0.2

Great App but would like more customization optionsI love the app and the fact I don’t need my phone while running. However, I would like the option to increase the time allotted to run a 5K. I can’t complete it in 30 minutes and would like the option to add 5 to 10 extra minutes before the workout ends..SkafluxVersion: 3.5.0

The only beginner running app you needThis app is aesthetically pleasing and puts an easy user interface on a 5k training plan. It works flawlessly with the watch and I ran further than I ever have with its tracking and encouragement! Love this app and well worth the money..Appuser133Version: 3.3.1

Very Buggy on Series 5 watchGreat concept and app. Unfortunately I keep having bugs and the app will freeze up midway through a workout and if I restart the app it takes me back to beginning. Not optimal when you’re trying to squeeze in a quick run. Makes it almost useless since it doesn’t prop me when to run a walk and half my workouts are recorded due to the restart ..Unicornslayr69Version: 3.2.0

Just get this appThe App Store has tons of c25k apps the free apps have tons of ads they keep trying to sale you upgrades and the watch apps are buggy and slow pay the few bucks and save your self the frustration.Tripl37sVersion: 3.2.0

Getting me to my fitness goalsThis app is exactly what I wanted to get back into shape. My only complain is the running jump time between the 3rd and 4th week. Yo go from 9 to 16 minutes. I did it, but it was a big jump. Still, I really like the app..FreedomgcamVersion: 3.8.0

Great standalone appThis is a great app that’s just for the Apple Watch. No need to have your phone, this does all of the run/walk timing for you! The only thing I wish you could change is to make the distance in miles instead of km. But that’s pretty minor..Review6573midwestVersion: 2.6.1

So gratefulI’ve never been a runner and I was skeptical that could ever change, but I just finished this 9 week program and am so proud to have been wrong. The pace is great, I love the Watch app, and it makes it easy to stick with it to the end..Shelby FawnVersion: 3.2.1

The 5k watch app I was seeking!A very simple app that works just on your Apple Watch. I can leave my phone at home and just run. It has Family Sharing enabled, so one small purchase means everyone in my family can have it too..Baby play sadVersion: 3.0.2

Great appThis app has been extremely helpful for me just getting into running for the first time. Highly recommend following the program. The new phone update is great, can’t wait to see what they grow it into..Sore CalvesVersion: 3.0.2

Helped me establish a healthy routineI’ve done the couch25k program a few times. This app is helping me do it again using my Apple Watch independently of my iPhone on my runs. No complaints. Thank you!.ObscuritewashereVersion: 3.8.0

QuestionJust downloaded the app. Love the simplicity and is a great tool to get someone into running condition. Quick question though, it did not show my distance, pace, heart rate or calories during or after my first run. Am I missing something in my settings? Am I supposed to run the workout app on my watch at the same time? Thanks.MntxgopherVersion: 2.0

No phone!Finally a watch app that is actually a watch app. This is exactly what I have been looking for. The only con is the only way to hear the voice prompts is to be also listening to something else first. I would rather be running in silence..Jck2kVersion: 2.4

Perfect Intro to running without extra nonsenseEasily one of better no frills running apps I’ve used to run walk and get into the sport. No accounts and great interface with nice animations and options..TheBoyChanceVersion: 4.6.0

It does what it says on the tinThe app is just what you need and nothing extra. It works and it isn’t a goofy subscription. It has helped get me back into running and I appreciate that..Random_nickname_123Version: 3.9.0

Safe way to slowly increase running timeThis app has helped me safely increase my endurance without getting plantar fasciitis (knock on wood!). Slow and steady increase. Highly recommend this very simple, clear app..Swissmiss7887Version: 3.3.0

AwesomeIt does EXACTLY what I wanted. No more phone. Just the watch. I can listen to podcasts and still get the audio/haptic feedback. Also, Ben was very quick to respond when I had a question. I’ll definitely be buying his future apps..Angry Bird HNICVersion: 1.2

All you needThis is really all you need for the Couch to 5K program. One thing I wish would be added, would be some audio queue when it’s time to switch between running and walking..TijcVersion: 1.0

Life ChangingWith this app I went from having never run to hitting up a 5k 3 times a week, a healthy habit I can take forward for the rest off my life. I repeated several runs until I had the stamina to move on and it even tracks that. While the couch to 5k training method isn’t unique, this app is. It’s simple and functional, no subscription, does what it says on the tin. I suggest it to all my friends wanting to be more healthy..Rayfe KnightVersion: 4.1.3

Great app but…I love the interface. Everything I need and nothing I don’t. Only two things kept me from rating 5 stars. I’d like to switch to miles permanently and I’d like to change the voice. Other than that, top notch!.Mmk5642Version: 4.0.0

Simple clean appI used this app to train to run 5km. I liked that I could go for a run without a phone. Nothing fancy here but the app does the job if you stick with it..AnuraghuVersion: 3.7.0

Warmup and Cooldown IssuesIt is frustrating that heart rate isn’t shown during the warm up, and especially during the cold down. It would be great to have music controls accessible during these periods too. But overall, this has been a nice motivational app..TechnomadiaVersion: 2.8.0

No subscription, works great on watchWhat more could you want, does exactly what it says. Only thing I would like is for the possibility of different announcer voices or just beeps..DjsnsbbahjVersion: 3.5.0

Works greatNo issues. Started my music, opened the app and hit start, and it worked seamlessly all the way through being able to see all the details in my Activity app. Great job!.JmsnapaVersion: 1.1.1

Almost perfectI love the app, love the fact it’s not a subscription and love the fact it records HR and splits up the runs/walks in the fitness app. However… Adding an option to change Siri’s accent would be nice. It currently sounds a bit too robotic and can be a little hard to understand at times..ADPattVersion: 3.2.0

Love the app, butEverything is perfect with the app, but there seems to be an error with the running program. Week 5 starts with 5 min runs on day 1. Day 2 jumps to 8 min runs and day 3 has a 20 min run. Week 6 day 1 then drops down to 5 min, 8 min and 5 min runs. That makes no sense. I can’t go from running for 5 min to a 20 min nonstop run and if I can do 20min non stop then I don’t need to go back to the 5 min run. I saw other apps in the AppStore and it seems like this one has the order wrong..Zee MiltonVersion: 2.5

Better than other appsThis app is great I like the fact I only pay once and it’s a small fee, but I don’t hear the voice even when my headphones are paired to my watch and my workouts aren’t sent to my Strava account which I dislike. Not sure if this is just me and I’m doing something wrong or what. Thanks I’m advance if there’s a response.JahshsjahVersion: 3.9.0

Why isn't the app icon an Apple Watch?Seems like an obvious thing to have done..Tim.mccrankVersion: 3.3.1

All you need to start running!Best investment ever! I paid few bucks for this app and it has all I need with my Apple Watch! Sure, it does not have thousands of (useless) extra features, but it has all the basic ones working perfectly and smoothly. It gives me everything I needed and NO SUBSCRIPTION <3. For me this app is one of the best ever I purchased.Michael2146Version: 3.0.0

Absolutely the best running companion with a watchCan't praise this app enough, I had been used a phone based one for years and this is exactly the improvement I was looking for to no longer have to carry my phone on runs. Only suggestion would be to hire a voice actor for the coaching sections as the text to speech leaves a bit to be desired, but that's such a minor thing in this otherwise amazing app..Skele.bladeVersion: 3.0.0

Great App! Responsive DeveloperThis is a well-executed app, and is exactly what I was looking for. I had a problem with the map route not showing in the Fitness app, but after a discussion wit the developer we got it all sorted out. Happy to support!.HockeyMom4_caVersion: 2.3.1

This app needs more loveGetting back into running is the main reason I bought an Apple Watch. The other apps have cumbersome Watch integration that had me frustrated. This developper came to the rescue with a simple and great little app!.YafortierVersion: 1.1

Convenient and easy to useI like the app in general. It’s very easy to use and set up, tracks all parameters well, good music app integration, and good apple fitness integration. My only dislikes are that it creates a separate “workout” in the apple fitness app for the warmup and cool down, and I wish the prompts to start walking/running were just a touch louder..SjsiendjcVersion: 2.3.0

Cool app but can not import runs to StravaRecently went for a run with this app. The run shows up as a workout in my fitness app but it will not import to Strava. Pretty disappointing but the app is still good..Wh1zzpigVersion: 2.2.0

Simple and awesomeWas looking for just this. Simple C25K that I could have on my watch. Nothing to carry. Just watch and headphones. Any plans to add GPS tracking for the runs?.BillChristieVersion: 1.0
