   Treadmill option. I purchased this item thinking it would help me because I had a treadmill, but unfortunately it’s only for outdoor running unless there’s a way to run on a treadmill and a properly track my mileage otherwise I like it, but it gets a one because I run indoors and that was reason I originally purchased the atlas for the indoor run and it doesn’t have an indoor run option

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Mislead. Was excited for this app usage, however, payment to continue to use the app was required after a routine was established. You receive a choice to write a review to continue use or start a payment plan. This was not listed in the details before it was downloaded. Disappointed that it was marketed as free, but truly isn’t.

   Very disappointed. I really don’t like writing reviews, but I’m very disappointed in this app. I have heard many times and I even used the phrase myself, you get what you pay for. It has been my goal to start back running for the past two years and I finally did it last week so I decided to get an app to help me along the way. While using this app I was very excited because I was able to complete the full duration. However, on the last 5 minutes of cool down walking, I think it took an extra two minutes for me to actually get back home. When I went to look at my progress…nothing was there. It was like I never started the workout. What was full of excitement turned into disappointment. I’m still proud of what I accomplished…but for everything to be erased…not a good feeling.

   Meh. Whatever

5. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Language is not in english.. I don't know what they did to the app, but now the guided voice isn't talking in english. I deleted the app, lost ALL of my history, restarted and checked for any language settings. Nothing. Quite frustrating.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Sync is not working. I've bought the premium version to use Sync, but there is no Sync!!! I emailed support to help me, but never got reply ☹️🙁😢

7. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   No sound and buggy with Apple Watch?. Really want to like this app. It allows customizations of lengths of intervals, which few if any other apps in the same price range do which is awesome. However I can’t get it to work successfully with my Apple Watch. No sound or haptics even though I’ve set the app to do that. Also when the Watch screen goes dim and then you wake it, it shows the time that was remaining when it went dim. Not a huge problem except if your next interval is between those two times it doesn’t notify you until you wake the display and by that time your interval had already started a while ago. You just didn’t know since the app seems to sleep when the screen dims (?)

   Love it!. This app is working so well for me to help me slowly get back into running. Easy to use and not intimidating!

9. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   updated. it’s been pretty good

10. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not bad. Nice app

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Have to pay to move on. Simple, straight forward app, but in order to move up in levels they make you write a review or pay for membership.

12. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great app.. Costs after a few uses unfortunately

13. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Apple Watch Issues. I Love the app on the phone, but I’m finding it impossible to get the watch app to work. Any pointers?

14. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Good beginner app. Good for slowly getting into running.

15. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Start running. Solid but makes you do stuff like this to keep using the app for free

16. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Pretty good. Good app

17. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Pretty good. The app helped me get started. Its not as user friendly as it could be.

18. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Apple Watch. I loved this app but had to stop using it because while it shows up on my watch it doesn’t actually work. The timer is shown on the watch but the coaching doesn’t work. I’ve stopped taking my phone with me because it’s too bulky to run with so won’t be able to use this app again until it is updated to work better with my watch.

19. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

20. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Needs more options. I’ve really enjoyed this app but wish there were more options for volume and other settings.

21. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great and simple to use. I love I can still listen to music and have my workout tell me steps at same time

22. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Does the job. It’s fine

23. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great app. It works . It keeps the workouts simple for beginners and a good routine to get you going . I will continue using it . It’s been very helpful to get myself started with running .

24. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Good. Enjoying app

25. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Simple but ok :). It’s a simple but ok app. I wish they would allow you to see where you are at during the run. Or see what you speed and map where you run without having to pay extra. I still am using it but not very detailed. But still good . I would recommend if you want some help to run.

26. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Run. Decent app

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great for beginners. This app has been great for someone who has never been a regular runner before. It is perfect for helping you get started.

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great option for beginners. Ive used this app a lot and think its a great option for total beginners who have a problem with pacing especially.

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific
