5K Trainer

Well never thought I would be able to finish the app, but 9 weeks later I am actually running 5k in about 30mins. Not bad for a 16st bloke.

Perfect, simple, running app which has NOT crashed at all unlike other ones I've tried. I am getting fit week by week. And I cannot believe they don't even ask for donations. Thank you developers beautiful job.

Simple interface that does exactly what I want and no more. One downside is that the icon looks like Citymapper's icon, so I am frequently opening the wrong app.

In week 1 I struggled to run for a minute straight, have just finished week 5 and feel amazing. This app is basic and simple to use would recommend it to anyone.

Minimal and straight to the point. No ads, no bloated features and a nice and useful interface. I completed the C25k program so it's time to move up to 10k and the Syncostyle app is the only one good enough for me. Keep up the good work!

Finished the program today. However I'm short of 5k. Would be nice to have something to help me get to 5k distance. Am aware of the 10k app but no plans to use as I can't set aside the longer training time.

This app made me fit and has lovely voice notifications of a kind sounding American man.

I just finished the nine weeks and this app was amazing if you pace yourself just like it tells you there's never a need to cheat the halfway there prompt always gave me that extra push

No patronising cheesy encouragement or hidden charges to carry on with the rest of the program. Thank you.

Thanks to this app I ran 5k this am in 29.31

This no frills app didn't require any permissions and has everything I wanted. Tells you when to run/walk and half way notice so you can turn around and go home. It has never crashed or given me any trouble. Simply a GREAT app, install it and start running!

Get this ap, download some music and get out on the street! I'm not a runner by any stretch of imagination but am now running 5k 3 times a week. I feel so much better for it. Make time to stick to the schedule and you will be able to complete this programme.

Liking this and I like the fact it gives a halfway mark. Seems to be a lot of walking but i may just be fitter than i think. Liking it so far on week 3 already. Not being a runner it seems to be helping. I climb for a living and cycle a lot so running is hard for me as all mew muscles. Training for tough mudder next year. Shoot for the stars.

Pros:- It's simple to use and full version and not just a trial of two weeks as lot of other apps have. Improvement areas:- Needs to have a lock button to stop accidental pause. Needs to connect to apps like MyFitnessPal. Needs to allow saving of playlists and play from app.

This app is the only one I've actually found myself wanting to go out and run and looking forward to the next running day. All others I just could not stick with as a beginner but this really does start you off light! So if I can do it (someone who hated running) then anyone can! Great work guys. The half way notification is a great idea too! ☺

Lots of C25K apps on the store, but this one is the most clean and efficient. No crazy bells and whistles needed. I like the notification, as well. Only gripe is not being able to set a week as already done.

Simple interface that does exactly what I want and no more. One downside is that the icon looks like Citymapper's icon, so I am frequently opening the wrong app.

I've tried Zen Labs and fitness 22 and I'm saying this is the best. No sign in, clean layout, simple and small. Everything you need, ticks all the boxes

Once of my greatest accomplishment in life so far is with syncostyle's app. Tomorrow is my last run for 5K Trainer and will start with 10K Trainer! One suggestion to help make this app viral and help more people: Add a feature where the user can take a selfie after a run, framed in a trophy with a mark of week and day that was finished then an option to share to social sites. God bless and more power!

I felt modivated. I easily made it to 5 ks. (With no past running experience) looking forward to starting my 10k journey.

Simple app that gets you started running. I needed something to help me with my training and this is doing the job a treat.

I'm so impressed with the ease of this app. I used it for the first time today and I'm already excited to use it again . Works well and doesn't use data or post adds. Win win.

Best app I've found. No hidden purchases required and no app crashes

Great way to start running have to listen for the instructions especially if you have music on too already downloaded the next app

Excellent c25k app. No ads, very few permissions needed. Does what it's supposed to do and does it well.

Amazing , I never would have thought that I would be able to run for 30 minutes straight

Really helped me get into running. Very reliable and well thought out.

I really loved this app! I don't believe you can really go from the couch and make it through the 9 weeks without cheating and pausing the app. (Unless you're a natural runner, which I am not.) I did this app twice - 2nd time I rocked it! Paced myself, yet challenged myself and didn't have to pause the app at all. I love that it tells you when you're halfway there so you know when to turn around. It also tells you how many days to rest / the next day you should try and run. Maybe I'll try the 5K to 10K???

I went from a complete running novice to finishing my first 5K without walking. I had tried other C25K programs but failed. I never had a day that was impossible although I did take a week off due to knee pain (solved with temporarily using a knee band). My 5K time was slightly more than 37 minutes but once you can run 30 minutes continuously it's simple. Biggest tip? PACE YOURSELF.

I love this app so much! You don't feel rushed or like you're pushing it. Never felt so good about myself and I'm only 3 weeks in! I hated running before this, but with this app in hand, I feel motivated and like I'm not alone. I never usually leave reviews, but this is one of the best apps I've downloaded. If you're "thinking about it," do it!! If I can do it, so can you!

Better than any of the other c25k apps I've tried. It's simple, straightforward, doesn't mess up mid-run like *other* apps, and it's even free! Some things I'd like to see in future updates: - 3 beeps or pips before each 'run' or 'walk' segment, to give you a quick heads up that you're going to change (because right now the run or walk parts catch you off guard unless you're looking at your timer -- which you totally shouldn't do while running) So like, 'beep' 'beep' 'beep' 'Start running'... - Not sure if this is possible (limitation with Android OS): make the timer visible from the lockscreen. If it is possible, that would be a really nice feature to have. All in all, I love this app. It's clean, simple, free, doesn't crash, has great features (halfway notification, audio cues, can re-run days you've already run, etc) -- if there is a paid version of this at some point, I'd happily buy it.

Very simple to use, lightweight app that gives clear descriptions of the workouts, and clear instructions for when to walk, run and cool down. Perfect for a beginners running program like this.

I completed the c25k app in 39 days (did it 5/6 days a week instead of 3). I really enjoyed it. It pushed me far enough without me failing. My only problem now is now that i have completed the final day, the app won't open. It just goes to a plain white screen with the heading banner. I've reset my phone and stuff and nothing.

Great app at 51 years old l was able to finish this goal and now will be starting the 10k app, easy to use and keeps you informed on your goals and times while listening to your favorite music.

On week 8 and I never thought I'd be able to run like this, really easy to use and I only felt like shouting at the "you're halfway there, turn around" voice a handful of times out of frustration at having a lot more left to run then I thought :) I'll definitely be downloading the B210k one once I've hit my 5k goal.

Have been using this app to help my wife train for an upcoming 5k. The app is great. Thanks

Fully functional app with nice user interface. Thank you :)

Love that it tells you when you have gone halfway. And everyone wants to hear that they have done a great job!

I found this app is very easy to use. You will love to run with it.

Simple interface, runs in the background, no ads. Perfect.
