C25K® 5K Run Trainer & Coach - Latest Quality Issues
Android

I have a Pixel Watch (original), and this app doesn't seem to work at all. If the screen is asleep, the count stops. And even when the screen is on, there are no notifications - vibration or audio - when you're supposed to switch from running to walking or vice versa. The only way it's useful at all is if you run with your wrist up and the screen awake, which renders it pretty unusable. A real shame, since this used to be the best option.

Awful and price locked
Way too terrible of an app to charge for. There are free alternatives with a better UI than this waste of storage.

No longer free?!
I used this app a few times over the years. I loved how simple and easy it was. Now you have to pay for it? No thank you. I'll do it on my own.

Awesome app!
I just completed week 2! I'm already surpassing my expectations of myself. I really believe I'm going to nail it by the end and I've never ran a day in my life and I've got about 50 lbs to lose. My only complaint is when you use the treadmill which I have had to do twice due to weather, you can't manually input your distance or time. That makes me sad that I can't even record my stats for the future to look at progress. But the plan itself is wonderful!

The first few days you can see what the workouts are but that's it without buying. I subscribed and the workouts are intimidating. I'm wondering if I'll even be able to finish.

NOT FREE. App requires a subscription after the first 4 workouts in the plan. Had used it several years ago successfully but new pricing model is ridiculous
