HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (28 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Crashes and freezes20%

25 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ To be fair, I can't actually rate this app, since it won't start without the permissions enabled.
★★★★★ The app crashes everytime during a workout.
★★★★★ the app if closed for too long completely freezes while running.
Bugs, things not working14%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ GPS doesn't work anymore in this app and problem does not look like it will be resolved.
★★★★★ Doesn't work without granting location all the time permission?
★★★★★ I paid for this app, but it doesn't work!!
Worse after an update11%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Never had any issues prior to the latest update.
★★★★★ Since the Oct 15 update, the app crashed after 10 seconds every time I started a run program.
★★★★★ The app keeps closing on me since the update.
Price and subscription10%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I went for a refund and they refused to refund it.
★★★★★ pretty bare bones, 2.99 would be a more appropriate price for what you get.
★★★★★ The app doesn't track my location properly Waste of money
Lost data, sync, backup8%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Couple that with having to remain logged out because even after pressing no repeatedly it keeps asking to sync old workouts.
★★★★★ stop asking me to sync my workouts.
★★★★★ I've gone on 6 runs, the first one went fine, but now every time I take out my progress I have to gingerly hold my phone upright while walking to make sure the app doesn't rotate.
Wrong or poor results6%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I paid for this app so I could do it with my Uncle and sister, but it's useless!
★★★★★ Completely useless for telling how far you've run or what route.
★★★★★ edited review: I don't know where this app went wrong, too many of the important controls are along the top bar, which seems to hide them under the notification bar.
Missing features5%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I am not happy that they force the location permission to be "Allow all the time," not "Allow only while using the app." There is no way to bypass that
★★★★★ There is no option to turn it on only when the app is in use, or ask every time.
★★★★★ 2 stars because lacks elevation stats and measure and google fit integration.
Login and account problems4%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It turned my first and last name into my username and I had to enter a home address to create an account to change my username.
★★★★★ It's necessary to create a username to sign up for this app, but numbers are not allowed, only letters.
★★★★★ I haven't gotten to use the app yet, the sign up page requires you to enter your date of birth, but the input for it is a calendar system that FORCES you to go through each month of the year starting at 2022 to get to…

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

distance isn't logging correctly

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026

Great app, precise route and distance tracking. nice to have multiple coaches to add some flair. Downside, GPS use isn't optional, and it doesn't tell you what number leg you are on. Also you can't edit the end time for a custom run.

★★★★★Sep 19, 2026

requires always on GPS location

★★★★★Sep 14, 2026

while I'm not going the actually scheduled pace (I'm repeating runs to build endurance), this app has genuinely given me the structure I need to go from completely sedentary to being able to run 5k in one sitting.

★★★★★Sep 2, 2026

Couch to 5k: A review, compliment sandwich style. (icriticism sandwiched between compliments.) this app is very clean design and comprehensive, and a very easy way to log and keep track of workouts. I HATE the app DOES NOT FUNCTION if I do not allow access to my location. "oh, well if it's just while you use the app right?" WRONG. you have to allow access to your location AT ALL TIMES OR THE APP DOES NOT FUNCTION. I wish I would have known that before I spent $5! I like Candace, she hot

With its customizable features, interactivity, and well-rounded interface, I may actually stay off the couch this time." —148Apps, October 2011 "I knew as soon as I decided to start the Couch to 5K program that I would need something to keep me accountable—not just to showing up for my training, but to actually doing it properly. Of course there’s an app for that." —CalorieLab, April 2012 "If you have been struggling to get your buns off the couch and somewhat in shape before the summer hits, training for a 5K is not a bad way to start.
