Miss the motivational speak

Version 4.2.0
I’ve previously used the NHS app which was fantastic as is this app. The only thing I really miss is the NHS app gave you some motivational chat with telling you to keep going, you’re doing well and what I found really helpful was telling you how long you had left of a specific run which I found really helpful when I was finding it hard or tough going - it stopped me from giving up whereas the silence on this (even though I listen to music) is deafening and constantly makes me look to see how long I have left which can then be quite demoralising, whereas if the interaction was there it would provide me with some form of distraction.

Perfect for doing c25k

Version 2.7.0
I have just used this app to complete the C25K and found it very helpful as I just like to run with my watch on no music. It taps your wrist when its time to run, half way etc. It gives a great breakdown of your run, heart rate, elevation, distance and an actual map of where you have ran. I used it today with headphones and there was no annoying voices telling you how to breath etc. just prompting half way and when to run. I have been going over the last week to see if I can improve my distance and heat rate and you can easily compare these on the app on your phone. Now I would really like a 10K one please. I can’t seem to find one. Thanks so much for such a great app, it has really helped me achieve my fitness goals.

Very user friendly!

The app works great. It’s nice to be able to follow the Couch to 5K programme without needing to carry your phone. The app automatically logs workouts in the Apple app, provides easy access to your music and has a nice visual display and countdown of how many runs remain and the time to the next.
The only disappointment is there is no coaching just limited voice prompts to run and walk. This is understandable for such a low price but it would be nice if some coaching could be added as a paid extra or the NHS coaching could be licensed.

Great stuff

Would be nice if it was more obvious at a glance how long the next run would be for, but no biggie :)

Version 1.2
I was looking to get back into running after a few years off, couch to 5K plans work really well to guide you back into the fitness journey but I wanted something that I could use without having to take my phone on my run.
Watch to 5K is perfect for this! You can get your songs playing, leave the house and start the app with no issues. The app is fantastic for haptic feedback, sound prompts if you are using headphones and a great on screen guide giving you at a glance status of your run including time, average pace and even a little animation for how far into the workout you are.
Awesome app, well worth the money!

I found this app really easy to uses. I’m on my 3rd C25K now following recovery from injuries. Easy to use and it supports the fitness recording apps I use. As it ‘sits’ on your Apple Watch you don’t need to take anything else, my headphone pair to my watch and I load my running music onto my watch too. The app voice talks clearly over the music. My only disappointment was not to hear a fanfare after my final run 😊😊

Awesome app

Great app. I have now completed the program and I am so chuffed with my self.
The app takes you through at such a nice pay you never feel overwhelmed, but instead it gently pushes you to make that next milestone.
The app rewards you with great feedback.
I haven’t stuck to anything and this app is created in away that got me through it.
Big thank you to the team behind this.

I had downloaded the NHS app, but this needed you to have your phone with you, and I really didn’t fancy that option.
Came across this app which allows me to use my Apple Watch and the vibration notification to start and stop running.
It’s made the horrible task of running a little more enjoyable…..

Brilliant app for c25k

Version 2.1.2
I very rarely write reviews tbh but I really felt I needed to this time. I have done the programme before using a podcast but when the time came to redo it after an injury I did a search for Apple Watch apps and came across this one and thought I’d give it a go. Honest it is well worth the money, I love how it separates the warm up and cool down out of the main run. Makes keeping an eye on progress, or lack thereof, much easier.
My only small gripe is that I can’t put the app from km into miles. I cannot work out pace or distance in my little brain from km to miles whilst in the middle of the run. I do get the information as I want it in the activity app but I’d like to have an idea of pace when I’m working out and I can’t get my head around km’s. #old

Very good aside from one small edge case

Version 1.0
This app is great, I can just run with my Apple Watch so no need to drag my phone around. There is enough of me to drag without the additional weight.
I really like having the little voice in my ear which forces me to pace myself, I am on week two and it’s increased just enough to push my heart rate zones to where they need to be.
My only gripe is you HAVE to allow all access, In my edge case I don’t want it to write activities to apple fitness, but if I turn the write permissions off for this then the app doesn’t work. I’d be happier if I could use it with the permissions I want.

Love the app!!

Very helpful app that motivates me to start running! I’m a running newbie with no running gear so I didn’t want to have to hold my phone during runs, this app is perfect as it works on my watch even when disconnected to my phone. Also love the trophies and the option to share my run on social media - makes me feel motivated! Tech support was also amazing as I had issues syncing my watch to my phone.

Version 3.0.0
Have been using the app for 2 weeks now and today is the first time I’ve got the prompts to play over my AirPods pro2 (had to change setting to speak over watch speaker to even get this as only gives haptic feedback if you don’t ) I’m wanting to listen to music as well and no matter what settings I’ve tried over the last 2 weeks, I can’t get the app to allow music AND audio prompts over my AirPods. Love the app itself but this audio problem is annoying. Today’s run was boring without some tunes!
Update: issue resolved after advice from Ben and absolutely loving the app now I’m listening to my favourite music. If you’re having problems, reach out to Ben and he’ll help. Totally recommend this for couch to 5k.

Useful App!

My lord, it’s been 8 weeks, I just ran 30 minutes for the first time in my life. But this time, it didn’t feel like I was dying the entire time, gasping for breath. This time, I was in rhythm. And it felt absolutely incredible. Did my 28 minute run and continued for 2 more - thus hitting my target a week early.
I cannot believe it. Last year I was a recovering ex chain smoker and in the worst shape of my life, probably about 100lbs overweight. Today I am 50lbs lighter. But thanks to this app, I can run, I can walk up a hill and hold a conversation, I can go wild in the bedroom without tapping out for rest breaks. I feel incredible.
It’s simple, but it’s genius. It does exactly what it needs to do. Best return on any investment I’ve made. It hasn’t been easy by any stretch of the imagination, but coming out the other side is mind blowing.
Thank you for developing this one! You’ve helped me change my life for the better.

Great idea, but doesn’t work well.

Version 3.5.0
I like the idea of an app that I can use independently of my phone, but this one needs a bit of work before it’s usable, as currently, it’s very unreliable.
On my 1st run, using watch 7 and latest gen AirPods, there was no sound. I thought I missed a setting somewhere and used the dodgy haptic feedbacks to try and work out when to run instead. You have to keep checking your watch though, as the tap on your wrist may be a txt, a closed ring notification, or the app alerting you that you’re half way through.
Run 2 I had sound, yay! But it’s very quiet. I figured I could use the crown to adjust volume, nope. Maybe the companion app will allow me to adjust sound? Nope.
Run 3 was the same as run 2, except I knew the sound would be rubbish as I couldnt find any settings to adjust. I thought I’d be clever and turn the music right up, then pause the music, but that didn’t work either.
Run 4 I had no sound again, and I’m now giving up on it and I’ll just use a pod cast instead.
I tried to get on with it, but I can’t. I hope once the bugs are ironed out it’s a great app.

Good app

Version 2.3.1
I’ve been following a couch to 5k plan on my phone and it’s been brilliant. I had progressed to week 5 whilst running with my phone in an armband.
Having recently upgraded to an Apple Watch ultra I was looking for something to make full use of the cellular features of my fancy new watch and not have to carry my phone on me all the time.
This app is brilliant. It follows the same progressions as the couch to 5k app and does it natively on your wrist.
One thing to note is you don’t need to start an outdoor run on your watch as the app syncs automatically which is very useful but has now made my new side button redundant!
TL:DR
Get this app. It’s brilliant

This App is great for 5K aspirers and longer term use for casual 5K level runners.
My wife and I use it when training on our own and especially after injury setbacks. It is like having a personal trainer running alongside you. The voice instructions are very clear from the watch and so you don’t need to take your phone with you on the run.
It’s one of those Apps you didn’t realise you needed until you’ve got it!

It does the job, but a couple of touches could make it a great app.
Use the always on display properly! What’s the point of having it turn dark on a series7? It should be easier to see the information without raising the wrist. At least add a setting!
The screen could be customised better, the option of having the pace, or splitting run and walk phases’ pace would be nice.
A clearer numerical indication of runs done/to go rather than only the coloured lines on the top should also be considered. And while it’s nice, what’s the point of the running man animation on top? That’s real estate that could used better.
Room for improvement for a paid app!

This is what an app should be - useful function and easy to use. I can not recommend it highly enough. It has been invaluable for no nonsense getting into jogging again. The app takes the necessity for a phone away completely- a drawback of some other phone based jogging apps.

The interval timing and progression over the weeks is great, not sure I’ll stick with it through the whole program because my pace is already nearing where I want it to be, but the app works exactly as you’d expect, audio cues and great and it integrates nicely into apple health!

The very best apps take what is actually quite complex functionality and makes it appear to the user as being simple and intuitive. This is exactly what this app does. I had a very specific list of requirements for what I wanted this type of app to do and this ticks all the boxes. It’s simple to use but does everything perfectly and works exactly as it should. I literally cannot fault it.

The only (?) Couch to 5K app that lets you leave your phone behind - so major win there.
I was previously using the NHS app and I must admit I miss the interaction that gave you. I’d like a _bit_ more encouragement than just ‘run now’ ‘you’ve just reached the halfway point’ and ‘that’s it, you’ve done it’ - I guess that’s a limitation of the size Apple allow for watch apps?
One really annoying bug I find is that when the app does speak to you it dims the music level it doesn’t restore it to the right volume afterwards. It doesn’t happen every time but enough to be annoying.

Well recommended

Started on my C25K using the NHS app but that requires my phone with me. I also didn’t like all the chat during the run telling me how well I’m doing blah blah blah personally I find it patronising.
This app takes my journey of C25K to a new level. Minimal voice prompts just tells you when to start walking and when to start running. There’s a prompt that tells you when you’re halfway. I don’t need to take my phone. I can just load up a playlist on watch slap in in some headfones and away I go for half an hour.
Definitely recommend. I was hesitant at the price tag but after getting a reply from Ben about the voice prompts I bit the bullet and bought it.
Well worth the three and a half quid.

I have used Couch to 5k before … needed to do it again having lapsed and now had an Apple Watch and hated taking my phone with me. But this is far from good, the voice does not encourage me … doesn’t say one run left or give me my pace … and no real warning of the run about to start … how about get ready to run and then 3 bleeps or something. There is a lot of work to do on encouraging good running

This app is just what I was looking for since purchasing an iwatch. As a female runner it can often be difficult to find running leggings with pockets. Phone arm bands prove difficult to use and uncomfortable to wear. This app follows the original couch to 5k app which I used myself previously. The only gripe I have is that it doesn’t offer motivational words (which some people may not want or like), advice on general running technique, or countdowns of how many minutes are remaining in the longer run sections - hence the 4 stars. If it included countdowns/information on how long was remaining towards the end of the run section, then I would give 5 stars.

Fantastic technical support to a great app!

Listen to music on your Apple Watch while following the voice prompts of the Couch to 5k programme without having to take your phone with you. Music volume drops when the prompts to run or walk and at the halfway mark. Perfect! Developer was super helpful when I had a problem getting the app to work on my elderly Apple Watch 2 on watchOS 6. It now works flawlessly.

A really nice app, has helped me to get to week 8 so far which is the main thing :-)
Only issue I have is with the haptic feedback being too subtle to me (and unfortunately no option for sound direct from the phone).
I repeatedly tried the Airpods option but couldn’t get it to work. For reference this was with a Watch SE and Airpods v2 and v3.

Easily the best out there

Perfect watch app.
1. No ads
2. No daft subscriptions - small once-off fee
3. Easy to use
4. Works seamlessly with the Fitness and Music app
5. Doesn’t collect data - This is very important to me. I stopped using a different running app for that very reason, even though it was a paid app.
6. Seems to be regularly updated
7. Genuinely independent from the iPhone
Keep up the great work.

No extra talk. Perfect!

Love it. Tells me to run. Tells me to stop. That’s all I ever wanted. Tried other Couch to 5k apps and all of them jabber over my music, podcasts and audiobooks. I use what I’m listening to to distract from the occasional struggling moments. I never needed Jo Wiley telling me I’m a big brave boy. I already know that. Mummy wrote it in my 46th birthday card. Good mummy.

There is nothing not to love about this app. No need for iPhone, focus on running, simple instructions, clear indication of run/walk intervals, great voiceover via bluetooth headphones. It’s the perfect couch to 5K for people who just want the intervals, tracking, guidance and some music. If you want to be chased by zombies, or to pay subscription for different voices it’s probably not for you but it’s the zen, clean, focused choice for anyone looking to do C25K. After losing my fitness I tried many alternatives but found this app to be the one that gave me the least excuses, the least distraction and the best experience. Huge kudos to the developer for creating something really great.

Fantastic for non cellular users.

Great to be able to run with just your watch and leave you heavy phone behind.
I always disliked that the other couch to 5k apps didn’t allow you to glance down and see how long was left.
The only bit of feedback I’d say is that it would be good to have more vocal updates, countdowns to when you need to start your run and how far into the section you are e.g run for 2 minutes and it updates you 1 minute in. I understand you can glance down but a audible update would make it super useful when your focusing/struggling.

This app couldn’t be more complete for what it is. Superb app, well worth your time and money.

Bought this and it works perfectly with these devices - iPhone XR/Apple Watch SE/AirPods Pro.
Fantastic effort by the developer, well done all round.

It works...

I thought this was great to start with, but the voiceover guide isn’t very loud and doesn’t cut in very well if you’re listening to music via Bluetooth headphones - and when the voiceover does cut in, it is missing the first part of the words.
Carried out the new update and no complication is available despite the fact that I have the most up to date watch and fully up to date software.

Such a great app

This is exactly what I was looking for in a C25K app. I really didn’t need all the extra stuff that almost every other app has, and I didn’t want to pay a subscription fee monthly just to use my watch when I was out running.
This app is perfect - watch only, has audio cues for running/walking, syncs with Fitness and works with the music app. It has no superfluous bits to it and is a very reasonable one time purchase. Really great job developers!

Love this app!

I rarely write reviews for anything but had to for this app. I specifically wanted one to use on my Apple Watch so that I didn’t need to take my phone with me. This does that and more. It’s so simple to use and shows you a breakdown of the weeks ahead so you can see how your runs change over time and what to expect next time. I love that you can listen to and control your music from within the app. And I love the voice prompts that come through your headphones (if you’re using them) to tell you when to run, when to walk, when you’re halfway through (which is just fantastic) and when you’re done. If you don’t have headphones connected, there are nice little haptics to tell you when your time for each section is up and the screen has a little person showing you whether to walk or run. To top it off, at the end you get a breakdown of what you did on your run like how long you ran for etc. For the price, it’s so worth it. If you’re considering starting a couch to 5k, get this app.

Watch only

I chose this app as I wanted to run with my watch and leave my oversized phone at home. So far it has proved ideal and does exactly what I want it to do. Great that it’s fully supported by the developer and improvements are continuing. Now time for another run....!

Just one little thing...

Really like this app as I’ve been looking for a c25k programme where I don’t have to take my phone with me. It’s worked well for me so far but I have one little irritant which has stopped me giving it 5 stars. The workouts don’t get counted in the 7 workout week award. It’s not major, I know, but it would make it a perfect app for me if it did.

Great little app that does what it says in tin!

This app took me from only running a couple minutes all the way to completing my first 5k. The only option that I could use solely on my watch getting to leave the phone at home. Does exactly what you need it to with a simple interface. Would love a 5k to 10k similar app from the producer, would happily pay again for that!

Brilliant app. Have done week one so far.
Hello. I cannot hear the voice coach through my head phones. Only the start and then just beeps for each stage. Is this correct or do I need to do something in the settings.
Thanks.

Brilliant app, follows couch to 5k program.
Does record it with activity app too but however does not include all the data? Am I missing something in my settings ? Usually when I record a run it includes the route and my cadence but can’t see this on runs with this app and cannot link with Strava . Thanks

Brilliant App. No iPhone required. Back running again!

What a brilliant App. Wouldn’t be too much to say it transformed my fitness life!! I was suffering with an injury for a number of years and every time I went back to run I would get reinjured. That was until I used this Couch to 5k app. By using the app it enabled me to build the running up at a steady pace, build strength and avoid injury. I use it with my Apple Air Pods and love the way the app works with music playing in the background and also voice prompts to tell you what you need to do so you don’t have to look at your watch the whole time. You also don’t need your iPhone with you which is fantastic as if gives you a real sense of freedom to just run. The app has all the stats you would want from doing a run and motivates you to keep going. I really cannot recommend getting into running with this app enough. It made me feel great to be out exercising again.

Great!

This is a really good little app, happy I found it as it ticks all the boxes I was looking for - works with Apple Music and works alone on my watch without needing to cart my phone around while running.
Thanks!

Ideal for beginners

I’m new to running and this has been an ideal jump start to get into it. Pushed me enough without letting me slack. Very intuitive app and not intrusive when listening to music.

Really good app

Great app! I use it without ear pods, the haptics tell me when to walk or run. With the watchOS 7 update, the timer wasn’t counting down but after rebooting my watch as advised by the app developer, this has been resolved. The only improvement I suggest is to include the five minute walk before and after each run.

Perfect standalone app

I had been looking for an app on the watch which let me try this plan without my phone and this fits the bill perfectly.
Running with a phone and wired headphones just feels so cumbersome and wrong, yet thanks to this app I feel free! No wires, no heavy phone banging against my leg or strapped to my arm and the lack of 5 min warm up and cool down hasn’t bothered me as I have to walk over 5 mins to find a flat section of road for a run anyway.

Nice and simple watch only app

Seems nice and simple to use so far. Only additions would be applying 5min warm up and cool down to start and end of each run.
reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because the run goes to Apple heath but won’t allow automatic export to Strava and can’t find away to sync runs from app to Strava?

Great to be able to run without the phone

This is great easy to use app that has all you need to do the couch to 5k program on your watch.
I really like the vocal prompts that the app gives over the headphones and the fact that I can listen to music or podcasts while I run. Sessions are tracked on my activity and I can see them on my phone.
Great app 5/5
