Life-Changing

This app is the ultimate motivation. I couldn't run for a single minute before. I used their 5K trainings and then 10K training plan, and am now going for a half marathon.

On days I don't want to run or feel lazy, the story of Zombies Run gets me to put on my running shoes and go anyway.

2025-03-25

Stopped working

I LOVED this app, felt like I was genuinely escaping from the zombies and the story was super interesting, however, it suddenly stopped working

2025-02-28

Brilliant stories, absolutely brilliant - GPS not accurate

Such a brilliant way to get fit. I look forward to each run/mission - it’s just brilliant!

The only issue is that the GPS isn’t accurate, I always have to run at least 0.3-0.8k more than it says to actually have the right distance…

2025-01-30

Great but some mini things

This app was so good that I went out of my way to rate it back in 2020. Now I think there’s a LOT of content that does make it harder to navigate but I enjoy the new plans. I’m going to try the marvel move and hopefully work up to a half marathon at the end of the year with the classic zombies run. I do wish that in the future they will add a half marathon intermediate as I want to regularly be able to run this distance in the future

2025-01-26

Episodes don’t continuously play.

I have to stop and start my run every few minutes to start the next bit of the episode.

I’ve tried multiple times to run along to the zombie run but it plays a few minutes of an episode and just stops and this has happened every single time I’ve tried the app.

If anyone knows a solution please help me. However if there’s no solution I do not recommend running with this app.

2025-01-19

Going downhill

This App USED to be amazing. I used to love the tracking, notifications and the chases. It used to really help my fitness.

Since they moved to this Marvels Move/ Zombies Run! Combo it has gone downhill. There were lots of issues when the app first merged and they still linger. Please, Six to Start, can’t you have a separate Marvel App and a dedicated Zombies, Run app again!!

Some examples of problems I still have. I was recently away somewhere with no 3/4/5G coverage and limited WiFi access. Shouldn’t have been a problem I should’ve been able to download missions and sync them later. Except it doesn’t work.

Even back in the UK I find there are some missions that simply won’t register as complete. Or the App freezes completely meaning I get nothing for my run. No music. No story. No feedback. Nothing. I had to restart my phone to get it back and the progress from the run is lost completely. I used to use Zombies Run! To track my progress over the year and now I’ve had to start recording my runs separately to have a better idea.

I’m honestly getting fed up with this app. I’m going to give it until my subscription renews but I think I might be looking for something new and more reliable instead.

2024-08-21

Zombie Meh..!

I had this app years ago. Thought I’d try it again.

I did a 30 min walk in a big loop to try it out. I listened to about 3 audio clips and collected a dozen pairs of trousers. No zombie chases, nothing. Im sure I remember being chased by Zombies. Having to change my route down different roads and increasing my speed to get away from them etc. Nothing. Glad I didn’t pay for it. App deleted.

2024-05-04

One of the best running apps ever!

I remember using this app when it just came out many years ago. It was a lot of fun then but the team have really refined it and it’s truly a delight to use alongside a run (or walk) of any distance!

The effort of the developers, voice actors, writers, researchers, and everyone else involved needs to be applauded. The attention to detail and quality of the mission designs is impeccable.

If you’re looking for something to inspire your running or simply need a fun addition to your pre-existing fitness routine, this is one of the best options out there!

Special shoutout to Marvel Move, in particular the X-Men stories!!!

2024-04-21

The perfect running partner!

Since I started using Zombies.Run during lockdown, my speed and stamina have increased dramatically. The stories keep you interested and running for longer, while the chases help with motivation. Makes long winding runs through quiet woodland suddenly a lot creepier! Brilliant!

2024-03-13

Makes me work harder

I’m running further and fast thanks to this app.

🫡

2024-03-13

Great app for motivation

38 and never been much of a runner. Thought I’d try this as it’s something different and it’s a game changer. Within 10 weeks I went from struggling to get through 2.5km without stopping to running 10km non stop in under 1 hour. The training plans are great. The stories are exciting with the incentive to run a bit faster from the zoms which helps improve your times and the addition of a little town build game play is a nice touch. You can have music playing throughout too as the stories continue on and off during the run. Happy Runner 5!

2024-03-11

Best app

I bought this app about 8 years ago and it has consistently been the best app I have. Keeps me fit and I fell in love with every character!

2024-03-09

App didn’t save my run

Absolutely gutted I did all that hard work for the app to not even save my running stats, it was my first one and I was excited to see how i went, only for the app to not save my run :( The app froze, and when i went back on it there is no record of it anywhere

Features of the app are great but what’s the point if I can’t view my results?

2024-03-05

Still no Apple Watch support - seven years later

Wrote this review seven years ago….amazingly they still haven’t added watch support.

What is the point of a running app that has no Apple Watch support? Such a great idea, and it does work well on the phone, but the point of a cellular watch is that you don’t take your phone on a run.

2024-02-11

A member since 2011

And still love using it today. The cast are excellent, the main story is brilliant and all the extra training run themes and stories are fun. Thank you and keep it going!

2024-02-08

Terrible UI

I attempted to try the app, but the sound files associated with a run all begin with deeply irritating adverts which are distracting.

Additionally the experience I downloaded had an introduction speech which was not needed, and so again: irritating and distracting.

After the speech finished and the actual content was supposed to play, the app froze. I closed the player and pressed ‘resume run’: and another advert began playing!

So I’ve no idea what the app content is like as the UI is appalling and apparently designed to make it difficult for non-paying trial users to access the content. Baffling.

2024-02-07

Just another Runner 5 (stars)

So it didn’t go so well for the last runner 5. Sure they wrote on this wall as well… well, it’s me now.

So stoked with this app. Actually motivated and keen for a lil adventure gallop. I like to look out for landmarks and try correlate them to the story. Once i was running through an allotment as a detour, while hearing i’m searching a hospital. Then i’m in a chase trying to speed up down little narrow alleys in between garden patches. Learnt from my mistake.. but it’s great and looking forward to a weekend run to explore the neighbourhood more. And doing mini supply runs for shorter distances. Thanks developers ;)

2023-11-18

Awful update

I absolutely loved this app before the update which is why I could justify 2 stars now. However the glitches are terrible. My latest 40 minute run was showing as 0.08 miles. I can’t change the settings anymore and I have to go off to the app instead of using the back button. Until this is fixed, it really isn’t worth using

2023-10-14

Disappointed

Been using Zombie Run for about 8 months and absolutely loved it (would have rated it 5 stars) the recent updates have ruined it unfortunately, and so many glitches - no audio, does not log run, not accurate! Please sort out the glitches - I miss the old Zombie Run

2023-10-11

Glitches ruining it

Doing Marvel Move with my son and the voice acting is great, but the timings are way off! The stories are fun and we are enjoying it, but are frustrated with the way it keeps pausing or jumping forward. During the last session we had to keep restarting it. Tried using it with a playlist and it was a disaster. I hope they fix the glitches as it’s inspiring my 11 year old to run - when it actually works!!

2023-10-10

Weak sauce update

The new app to highlight the partnership with Marcel is massively disappointing. Much slower to load, interaction with external music sources poor, and the time versus distance to run does not work smoothly. Personally I love the content and am roundly disappointed with the new technology. Will not be renewing my subscription.

2023-10-04

Ruined by the latest update

I’ve been a big fan for 8 years, but the update to ZRX has ruined the experience for me. A lot of the functionality has been “temporarily” removed.

Most importantly, GPS tracking is not working, so you can’t see how far you have run.

Secondly, instead of pausing your music to play the story clips, the story just plays over your music so you can’t understand anything. There is no option to even adjust the sound balance.

When you remove these features, this app has no benefit beyond just listening to your music through a basic audio player. Therefore I won’t be renewing my subscription.

2023-10-01

Pleae bring back the photo sharing workout

This app motivates me to run more often. However. With the new updates i simply can’t share my workout on a photo and it would be appreciated if you could bring in back in the future updates

2023-09-26

WHAT THE HELL?!

I’m rating this 5 stars because before the update this was a great app.

But what the hell. None of the audio works now. There’s no way to listen to past missions anymore. Can someone please fix this?!

2023-09-14

Update broke it

Zombies run was great - ZRX doesn't work. Can't hear the mission, i'm pretty sure it isn't properly starting, and i can't quit the run without force quitting the app and losing all my progress. Really disappointing.

2023-09-13

This was great before the update!

I have had this app since 2019 and LOVED IT!

Since the update, it is pretty bad. Music does not turn down during mission clips, pause does not interact with headphones, playing missions for a certain time DOES NOT WORK. I pay £22 a year, and at the moment feel really cheated. I hope they get it back to as it was, because I know from social media sites that I’m not the only one.

Anyone considering purchasing the app, don’t until the glitches are fixed.

Admin support - please fix these issues, the app was brilliant.

2023-09-10

Update is full of glitches

I can’t hear the story. It doesn’t log my run. I can’t end the run without completely closing the app. It was both useful and fun, now it’s neither.

2023-09-10

Awful change to previous app

So, as well as a confusing new layout (and loss of some settings eg units of measurement) and messages saying ‘you’re not a member’ (I am) it decided to make my run a silent one…. What’s the point of a running app with no sound except music?

Why has the collaboration with Marvel led to a terrible app?

If you’re going to change the settings why can’t you change just one of the (many) marketing emails into an instructional one?

Note: I used the previous app Zombies Run happily for years…

Avoid

2023-07-17

Such a fun way to get running again

And as a 40-year-old father of Three, who used to be rather fit, and is now rather fat, this app was an absolute godsend. I’ve always enjoyed running, but this adds an extra dimension. The story is really interesting, especially if you’re into zombies, but even if you’re not it’s still riveting. It just gives you a reason to get up and get out, on a regular basis, so you can finish the story. I’m only halfway through season one, and I’m so excited to see my fitness improve as the story unfolds

2023-03-29

Great idea, but lack of real Apple Watch Support

When I first got into running, way before I got my Apple Watch, this is the app that kept me going. Living in a virtual zombie infested world, with great voice actors, thrilling missions and survival elements, this app has it all.

Then I got my Apple Watch. I didn’t need to run with my phone anymore and was thankful I could leave it home on runs. I always get the chunky boys (I own an iPhone 14 mega beast) so being able to run without it was great. But after 3 years still no standalone app for the Watch. This is NOT an Apple Watch app, as it’s completely useless without your phone. Without true Apple Watch support, with standalone downloads for the missions, I can’t recommend this app for Apple Watch users.

2023-03-16

Love it!

Epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nuff. Said!

2023-02-02

No watch tracking

It doesn’t tell you this at any point but despite having a watch app there’s no support for the watch other than starting the episode. I did 20 mins, found it motivating but then was utterly demotivated to see that I had only done 20 steps. I editied this in the app but it did not translate to the Apple Health records.

It even has a treadmill setting but this doesn’t solve the issue.

2023-01-01

Doesn’t work on Apple Watch

Doesn’t work on Apple Watch unless the phone is with you. As an app that’s based on use in exercise, this should be a standard, for this reason 0 star.

2022-11-07

Hooked

Best motivation I have ever had to run to I thought music was my thing Wrong!!!!

Keep doing more runs please xx

2022-10-30

Poor

Poorly integrated, no proper data transferred to the fitness/health app - no good for tracking your workouts. Furthermore, it’s buggy. Restarts the chapters so you listen to it twice and you can’t skip (button greyed out). Then there is no standalone for the Apple Watch, you need to take your phone with you - why???

Also the story is not really immersive.. 2 Stars for the good idea, the rest for the very poor my implementation.

2022-10-04

Entertaining

I love this app I’m not a natural runner and get bored easily but the story keeps me engaged.

2022-07-13

Best exercise App going

I downloaded Zombies Run! in the April of 2020- then the pandemic hit in the UK. For the last 2+ years I’ve been using Zombies Run! almost every week and sometimes more than that. The storey is engaging and immersive. Really enjoyed the final runs of season 1 where there’s a mile target to reach (wish they’d do that style of mission more). Also collecting supplies for the side game of building your own township. Recommended to many friends in person now hoping to spread the good word with this review. Go for it! You won’t regret it!

2022-02-28

Amazing

Best app I have I absolutely love this. I will put this on when I am at work and instead of just sitting I do 20 mins of running, brilliant

2021-10-26

Apple Watch app still not standalone

It’s now 2021 and this app still can’t be used for a run on Apple watch without taking your iPhone, what’s the point in having a watch app if you have to take your phone with you anyway, please make this a standalone app for Apple Watch

2021-10-20

Brilliant. A reason to run!

A played this years ago (when it was not a subscription model… Which I hate). I adore this however. The stories are fantastic, it’s well made. The little features all make it perfect. The post-story radio? I love it.

Will you ever add more to the base? It feels very MVP still all this many years later.

2021-09-06

High production values

Great app, lots of care taken on crafting the storyline and the recurring characters really help you to feel immersed. High production values of the audio quality and sound effects. I love the option to build up your base and earn different rewards for the survivors - keeps you motivated to get out on missions when the weather is grim! Also really enjoyed the ‘Home Front’ exercises, both during lockdown and beyond.

2021-07-11

Makes running fun

The story is really interesting and it’s great to have some ‘company’ while running

2021-06-21

So realistic!

There were actually people appearing on the streets with masks and rubber gloves to boot. This app really works! There really ARE zombies everywhere in the latest update. It’s virtual reality without any additional hardware. Get it now. It’s a giggle and will get you fit at the same time. Made in Davos?

2021-06-04

Wow

This game should be one of the best games in the world but can you pls pls pls pls pls pls make a parkour one like this

2021-05-30

The only thing that actually gets me running

Title says it all really. So much fun!

2021-05-10

Brilliant app with some issues.

Zombies, Run! is a great app for keeping track of your runs while enjoying an engaging story.

Unfortunately for my use case, there are some minor annoyances that add up very quickly over the course of a run.

I tend to listen to podcasts over music and because the app just decreases the audio of other apps instead of pausing it completely, I often get two concurrent audio tracks, (one ZR story and one podcast) that overlap and sometimes leave each other completely unintelligible.

This can happen 5-6 times per 30 minute run. It's not a massive issue but it does really bring down the enjoyment of a run.

This is also an issue with the Radio mode at the end of a run. It's wonderful how much great work has gone into the secondary story of that mode but it would be great to be able to turn it off. It works great with music but is a bit weird otherwise (I feel like this used to be a feature but isn't anymore).

ZR is a great app but it's let down by some small but very distracting issues.

2021-04-18

A wonderful app

I am enjoying my stint as runner 5, the story keeps you motivated and it’s great that you can adapt it to your runs. The other adventures are equally as good. Thoroughly recommend it.

2021-04-18

Not compatible with Fitbit watches

Not compatible with Fitbit watches so quite disappointed. It is a great game which I use on steps but would be so much better going on the treadmill with ought my heavy phone in my pocket

2021-04-08

I can’t stop using this app!!

I started to use this app as it was something I downloaded before but didn’t use but now I have been using it it’s really addictive to play and there is so much adrenaline when they get close and I would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for something that will get you up and running. It also helped me with my breathing techniques and I can now run without stopping and it is really good. The sound effects are so realistic and it gets your heart race up. 100% would recommend to anyone!! I love this app. It has brought out my confidence to run in public as I can’t stop if I am getting chased and it so amazing how an app can make you feel really motivated to go for a run as you just want to know what happens next!!🏃🏼‍♀️❤️

Can’t wait to do more of the missions!!

2021-03-26

Couldn’t run without it

Without Zombies, Run I would never had started running. After years of threatening to improve my fitness and start running I discovered this app and never looked back ( quite literally - didn’t want to face those chasing hordes of undead). You will not regret getting this app, can’t recommend it highly enough, the story is compelling and makes me want to run more just to continue Runner 5’s story 🧟‍♂️🏃.

2021-03-22

Fantastic concept, but tracking issues

Love the idea of this app, and the stories are really engaging and pretty creepy (you’re brave if you run with Zombies, Run! at night!) I love that you can have music/podcasts playing at the same time, as I was worried that the zombie episodes would be constant for my entire run, but the interruptions are quick and interesting, and aren’t too frequent to break your tempo.

However, I’ve had massive GPS issues when using the app, which I haven’t suffered using other fitness apps. Apparently I ran 1km in about 3 minutes, and my overall run ended up being 2+km more than the route I planned. The zombie chases also seem to be geared towards elite runners who begin running at a faster pace, as even when speeding up from 6min/km to 4min/km there seems to be no difference in my inability to outrun the mob - I suspect this ties in with GPS issues.

Once the above is fixed, as well as allowing standalone apple watch functionality and Strava integration, this will be a great app. But for now I have to run Strava simultaneously, which unfortunately Zombies Run interferes with anyway.

2021-03-09

Got me running

I am asthmatic and was doing no running at all. This has got me through by pushing me hard enough to see improvement without breaking my spirit. The immersive storyline keeps your mind occupied. One suggestion is make sure you have some good running music which is steady and not too fast. I use stereophonics and stone roses amongst others. Definitely worth a try

2021-02-24

I went premium

Without having used all the extras that premium gives, I love this app. It’s a great motivator. So far I’ve just been using it for walks at the moment but looking forward to graduating to runs and getting those zombie chases going. The team who put this together have done a great job and you can see their dedication has paid off. Excellent work! (Also, especially enjoyed the Red Dwarf reference! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻)

2021-01-26

Ok

Ok if you can already run. I’m 11 years old and with my football team being cancelled most of the time on and off for the past year, I wanted something to do that would keep my fitness good and entertain me. Since we are in lockdown 3 (I think - I’ve lost count now lol) I’m not as good at running as I used to be so on my first run, I paused it at about 15 mins and ended it the next day. Am really hoping that soon I can do a whole run in one go.I would recommend this app to anyone who can already run for over five mins at a time.

PS I haven’t trained or done any competitive running before so have never completed even a 5k before (I think)

2020-12-09

Generally positive experience, would recommend

Interesting storyline, although it gets a bit ridiculous on occasion. Can drag when you don’t have premium and can only listen to the storyline every few days. I love the LGBT representation, but some of the voice actors are a bit annoying. I love the variety of the storylines though!

I love the extra runs like the volcano and deep sea runs! There are quite a few and new ones keep coming which is really great. I do have to miss an episode as I only get one unlock every few days but it’s usually worth it. I like the base area but it could be more interactive. I like the supply missions but that can be repetitive after a while. There are some different stories which is great, but for a few you can start listening to but at a certain point you have to be a member to finish, which is annoying.

I’ve had quite a few issues with gps and the app not picking up my running route properly but I’m not sure if that’s an app issue or a phone issue.

Major problem is that the time splits that get read out while you are running never match the spits you see at the end of the run. The first km can be a few seconds out or over 40 seconds out, which can be annoying for pacing.

Overall it got me into running and I’m still using it over a year later. A good app and you can clearly see that the people who created it really care about it!

Just try 1 run

I’m 120kg and definitely not sporty and I’ve had knee problems that make running painful at times but this app is not just a great running app in general but the storylines were actually really good and helped me keep up the pace. Even if you don’t think you will use it a lot get it. You’ll want to run just to hear the next chapter lol.

Highly recommend 😎

Let’s be honest, we all want to get a little bit fitter during quarantine? Just a bit ? Right ?

This app is ✨perfect✨ for that.

Let me set the scene. You land in a random town, not knowing what you’re doing there. Turns out you’re living during a apocalypse, and there are zombies or ‘zoms’ at every turn.

You can play your own music in between mission clips and enable or disable the zombie ‘chases.’

Every mission is interesting, I can easily get lost in the story and walk 5km at a time. For an asthmatic like me, that’s a record, and I’m very proud of myself.

You can walk/run at any speed and this app can be used by beginners, intermediates or even people who have never run before.

The app also includes training guides, that help you run 5k-10k depending on your level.

You could also use ‘the home front’ audios, workouts you can do at home, designed for quarantine.

If zombies aren’t your jam, they also have a selection of other races, one of my favourites includes a ‘run the solar system’ race, that comes complete with astronaut training.

In conclusion, I’d recommend this app to anyone and everyone 😎😎

Amazing, love it!

Zombies, Run! Is an exceptional app. It has helped me massively with my fitness. I need to have something that keeps my attention. Running for the sake of it is not my thing and I quickly lose interest, but with this I have a massively engaging story with characters that you really relate to and love to hear that keep me coming back for more. The writing is excellent and they are great at jaw dropping moments, that really get to you feeling with the characters. The only only thing I would like is a bit more with the base- make it a bit more worth while- message to the Devs- a young lad has put out a game called Final Outpost on IOS- combining something similar to your Able awe crafting and that would be amazing, with some point to defence and moral- like events. Would really love that.

Oh and I was using this to train to 5k which I achieved but due to life atm I found myself cycling a lot more than running and the game still works great for cycling!

2020-06-27

Scarily prescient

Great app, very motivating both in the actual episodes (which urge me to keep moving) and as a treat to get me out running in the first place. And the stats/run records are pretty good, too. Also, I love being able to listen to music some of the time rather just listening to a narrator as with an audiobook. The Zombies Run story lines are interesting and fun and have proved scarily prescient during the COVID-19 crisis - I recently ‘discovered’ a hoard of face masks, even though the episode was written a couple of years before the current crisis. And so many of the comments about them virus’ really hit home now whereas previously I would not have noticed them much. Getting hard to tell fiction from fact!

2020-05-08

Amazing app

I have to say, I’m starting to get obsessed with this app 😂 the effort the team have put into it is clearly huge, even the small details like the emails you get sent from people at Abel. There’s room for people of all fitness levels, and you’re never made to feel like you’re not good enough. I’ll be using this for the foreseeable future!

2020-05-04

Enjoyable, interesting and motivational

I love using this when I run - the storyline is interesting and helps keep me motivated to push through; I look forward to using it. The app tracks your distance and time and you can manage the length of the episode depending on how long you want to run for or how far you want to run. It has a tonne of extras such as races and training programmes and a great design/interface. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a way to make running more interactive/enjoyable

2020-03-24

Best app i’ve ever used.

I started using Zombies!Run about a year and a half ago and haven’t looked back since.

Before this app id tried lots of different apps to get me motivated to start running, but Zombies is the only that’s stuck by.

The free version is fantastic as is; You get a weekly story line and can sign up to Zombie Link to build your base. There’s no “trial” that immediately signs you on to payment or anything like that. Here’s a taste of what the app is; enjoy.

The paid version is definitely worth it though, and super reasonably priced.

The dialogue is really engaging and i get wrapped up in the story line; and the grunts of zombies chasing me always spur me on!

Best running app i’ve ever had; got me from C25k, all the way to my regular 10k runs now!

2019-07-30

What they don’t tell you...

Basically you can’t EVER get a new phone if you aren’t paying the yearly subscription fee to access all episodes, as everything you unlock as a free member is LOST. I spent TWO YEARS unlocking episodes weekly to play once I finished season 3 (I get S1-3 included as a legacy member), now I’ve had to switch phones, all these missions are inaccessible and they expect me to spend another two years unlocking them again or pay the annual subscription. Of course, this isn’t stated ANYWHERE. Lost all respect for this company - seems their success has gone to their heads and they don’t care about the people whose support and $$$ got them where they are.

2019-06-14

Love it

Absolutely love this app, the story kicks in at just the right time when you need your mind taken off how painful the run is getting. It gives me an incentive to lace my trainers up and get out there so I can find out what happens next on days when I really can’t be bothered to run. I will quite often see someone I know and shout ‘sorry, can’t stop, zombies chasing me’, to amusement of friends and neighbours 😊

2019-05-16

Well worth it!

This app is amazing, what a way to get you going whilst running! People must wonder what is chasing me because all I hear is the zombie in my ear and I take off!!

My only issue is that it never tells you how far you’ve went! I would love to know that I’ve hit the halfway point so I can turnaround and make my way home.

Aside from this little flaw, 10/10 from me!

2019-05-14

Can’t run without it!!

This app has made me fall back in love with running - it’s seriously addictive! I upgraded to premium as I couldn’t wait to run new missions and also wanted to be able to change the speed and frequency of the zombie chases. The story is brilliant and full of great characters. I’m only half way through season 2

2019-05-02

Engaging Running Time

I enjoy the elements of storyline they have introduced and that there is a really cool story running through it. When you finish you do find yourself wanting to play the next level to see how it continues keeping your engaged and running to find out more. Only wish the free mode allowed you to set interval training into the story to allow you as a starter to progress on your running.

2019-03-06

Let down by lack of cross platform support

Actually this is an ok app which many people will find motivating. I did.

However when I changed platform for my mobile I discovered that there is absolutely no way to take the app with me. That lack of cross platform support is old fashioned in my opinion and also suggests to me a distinct lack of willingness to help customers on the part of the game company. They offer no way to help that transition. It’s buy it once from us, and then buy it from us again. Hence 2 stars.

2019-01-31

Fat to fit

I absolutely love this app! i lost 10kg using this app to jog and get fit again! i did the 10k beginner programme and it was brilliant, never ran 10k in my life until i used this app! The story line is excellent, the characters are brilliant, its gets addictive! I run to work 4 days a week listening to Zombies, run! I would love to thank the team produced and created this! I’ve found exercise enjoyable again because of this app! Have highly recommended it to a lot of people!

2018-12-07

Deceptively powerful

Don’t be fooled by the story overlay to this app. It contains a powerful tracking system, tied in with training plans to help improve your running no matter what your ability. The story is engaging keeping the user coming back for more and the constant updates and improvements more than justify the fantastic price point for the premium subscription.

2018-12-05

Genuinely life changing

When I downloaded this app at the start of 2017 I was depressed, had no confidence and certainly didn’t exercise. Nearly two years on I’ve had a gym membership for a year, take part in organised sport twice a week and running has become a major way of dealing with my moods and a part of who I am - I now even enjoy it without zombie help! The yearly subscription is a small price to pay for that! One thing I couldn’t bear in couch to 5k apps was the patronising voice on the other end telling me to speed up. With ZR I get absorbed in the plot and genuinely feel a reason to go faster to save myself, my township and friends 😂 Thanks S2S for improving the lives of nerds everywhere :) Anyone reading this review, download the app... what are you waiting for? RUN!

2018-10-01

Epic!

Never felt the need to write a review before, but after doing the NHS CouchTo5k programme I was looking for something to keep me motivated since I’ve never really run before. This turned out to be exactly what I needed! I did the 5-10K then the 10K to half marathon training programs. I’m about to run my second half marathon this weekend and this app got me there! The stories are just the thing to keep your mind engaged if you are anything like me and get mind-numbingly bored after running for just 10 minutes. I’ve also started the interval training and done a few supply runs and I’ve loved each one. I’ve even done a 10K virtual race which was something I’d never even heard of. Really enjoyed it (which I still find bizarre) and I’ve signed up for next one this Halloween! Well worth signing up for the Pro as it’s not expensive and offers a lot back. Stay safe out there and avoid the Zoms 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️ - Runner 5 signing off!

2018-09-24

This actually works!

The voice acting and sound effects are top notch, it really immerses you in this world while your out running and has pushed me further since trying it. I ran 10km today! (Also found a bunch of sports bras, baseball bats, mobile phones, batteries and a bunch of other stuff... no idea how I’m carrying all that and running, but who cares!). I made an AC/DC playlist today and it’s awesome for this game!

2018-08-09

LOVE THIS APP

I’ve tried all sorts to start exercising all which are boring and more of an obligation than anything else which is boring... however this app is actually fun to use I use it on the treadmill for now and it works so well, I think the best bit is you can’t find out what happens next unless you run so it really motivates you, and then you build your base with supplies you collect on your runs! Awesome app I’ve even paid for a years premium!

2018-07-24

Loooooove this APP!

This App is absolutely brilliant. I like that you can change the times and distance that you run on the missions. It has loads of training programs to help you achieve running goals e.g. 10k and it’s fun and interesting.

My favourite part of the app is that I have my own play list playing in the background and the audio book part of the app seems to break up my run for me. With the right song you really feel like your in a film or something!

I highly recommend you try this on!

2018-05-13

Great App

I love this App, has made running a lot more entertaining. The only issue I have with it is that the running distance/time/pace update volume is so quiet compared to the music/story volume that you cant hear it. I’ve tried altering the settings but nothing seems to work. This is the only thing stopping me from paying for the upgraded version.

2018-05-07

Easily the best running app on the market

Entertaining? Yes.

Funny? Yes.

App actually works and functions without seven million updates? Yes.

Accessible? Yes.

Varied experiences to fit what you’re doing in your life? Yes.

To express adequately how much I love this app - it is the only thing I have been consistently using. Ever.

I have changed run tracking apps 4 times since downloading this, changed yoga apps at least twice a year, and food tracking twice.

Through it all is Zombies run.

Amazing voice actors, incredible writing, and impeccable tech support - the times when I have had a problem (2 times in 8 years) I have had a reply and a fix WITHIN 24 HOURS.

That is all. Any more praise would be overkill.

2018-05-01

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!

Trust me when I say this, I’m probably the least fit person in my school, no scrap that I’m probably the least fit person in my area!

But I love zombie shows and films and I love how this app gives me motivation to run and the story line is so compelling that you feel like you HAVE to get out just to get the next instalment of this thrilling adventure of runner 5 and the people he/she meets along the way!

I personally like to run at early evening so when it’s dark but it completely dark and to tell you that if the running it’s self doesn’t get your pulse racing the fear of the zoms catching you surely will. I love this and I have already recommended it to countless people!!!!

2018-04-10

This is very god, but

This is very god, but it does not record your heart rate on the Apple Watch during workouts.

I found that I have started to set a Apple Watch ‘workout run’ but also run zombie run at the same time, I just don’t let ZR write data to Apple health app. This way I can get my HR reading off the watch workout and also get my other readings such as VO2. (To prevent ZR from writing data to your health app, go to health, sources and then adjust the settings on ZR).

It’s a very fun app though, but the Apple Watch feature is only used to start and stop the story, and also check your time.

2018-02-19

Difficult

Want to start off by saying I downloaded this app back in early 2016 and it still has not lost its touch, fantastic app being able to move both in world or in gym on a treadmill and I would have given it a 5 star rating due to its charismatic storyline and fun, run to collect resources scheme, but I’ve had to knock it down to 3 stars since for some reason on the IPhone 7 (be it may just be my phone) the app will only Work once after first installing the app but will then continuously crash every time I try and re-open it. Very disappointed that I can’t play it due it crashing.

2018-01-31

Gets you going

Runner 5 here. I have paid for the premium as I like to alter how I get chased by the Zoms. It also makes it easier to download a few episodes at a time as I like the story quite fast paced so I am nearly at the point where I get 2 episodes in 1 run. I like the chases high and easier to run away when I am doing a sprinting session and got 3 chases in 30 mins last week and survived each but I did push myself hard which is what I wanted it to do doing this is more motivating when it is early morning or just as it starts to get dark in the evening as the fear kicks in when they get close🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️. It has so many little plans for training it is a fantastic motivator. That and you can make and build your own Able Township up. The features for the free version are good. You still get everything you just cannot download multiple episodes and cannot change the chases. It is great if you are on a treadmill or out in the wilderness and you can listen to music in between chases and updates to runner 5’s missions. Runner 5 out. 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

2018-01-26

I didn’t believe it would work

So, I’m mid-40’s, around 92kg, unfit, and stopped smoking after 30 years in December 2017. I tried many times to quit but failed until I found the app ‘Smoke Free’, it is a great app as well but it had a link to ‘Zombies, Run’ and so I tried it.

I used to cycle in my teens and 20’s, and have never jogged/ran, in fact I have regularly belittled joggers and snubbed it as a form of exercise - but I am hooked now!

I needed to exercise as my new job is less physical and my shirts appeared to be shrinking and this seemed fun. It is more than fun, I am walking/jogging 3.5miles at least once a week, and I have improved from 18 minutes per mile to 14 minutes per mile in just 4 missions. I am astounded.

The story is superb and the way it links with my playlist is great. Like other reviewers I really enjoy listening to the ‘radio’ programme after the mission has finished and I wish I could walk/jog for longer to hear more of it.

Having the chases turned on is excellent fun, although I have just discovered that they can occur after the mission has been completed, and that surprised me as I was knackered!!

I am loving it, and I think it will keep me exercising more than anything else ever has.

2017-10-31

Could be amazing... but it’s crap.

The idea is amazing and the storyline somewhat intriguing, however the bottom line is... the effects are awful. The monotone ‘zombies approaching’ voice really put me off. It needs much better sound fx. It could do with an option to import a route so you know how far to run to get an item as it’s otherwise completely random whenever you pick something up.

For the future I think this could be integrated with AR so you can hold your phone up and ‘see’ the zombies behind you and ‘see’ items ahead of you.

A fantastic idea but not pulled off very well.

2017-10-01

I'm Addicted!

Very rarely am I so excited by an app that I actually write a review. Zombies, Run! is absolutely brilliant. It really helps keep me motivated on long runs, as well as improving the pace on shorter runs.

I don't tend to stick to the plans that are provided, but it's great to give me a guide as to how I should be running in order to achieve my goals.

Also, I absolutely adore Jack and Eugene, who make the end of a mission so enjoyable! (I might be a bit in love with them)

It's almost like I'm binge listening - as soon as I come back from a run, I want to go for another, just to find out what happens next.

2017-07-17

It's helpful

I've found this really helped keep me motivated to run and I've enjoyed being able to build up my base.

If I could add one thing to the app I would suggest getting to create your own profile. Similar to the characters they have a name and a back story; it would be interesting if we as Runner 5 got to make our own (maybe in the form of a quiz). Possibly set up like a file, where our running stats would appear (like fastest run, most supplies, longest run, etc)

2017-06-10

Fun with minor flaws

Great way of motivating you to get put and run. I'm a few missions into Season 1 and it's kept me amused so far.

Problems include:

1. The zombie chases are disgustingly hard. I'm pretty fit, but even breaking from slow jog to flat out sprint, the zombies get you half the time.

2. The build-a-base mini game is token at best. It looks like awful - like Newgrounds circa 2002 - and has no discernible reason to even looking at it... if it unlocked extra audio or something, that'd be cool, but I don't see this as likely. Shame really, it could be cool if it actually tied into the game.

3. The voice acting is passable at best. Still, you get what you pay for. Maybe it'll bother you, maybe it won't!

Other than that, cool app :)
