Couch 5k Customer Insights

1. I wish it showed you all the stages during the run visible on screen in a list format at all times - it is possible to zone out and miss a couple of years transitions between walk and runThis app is just what I'm looking for when I wanted to start a running routine and found out about C25K.

2. 95% of the time, after I've finished a run, my screen dims and I'm not presented with the "end" screen, where I get my stats, etc and where I can select a smiley face, as to how I felt my run went.

3. The biggest problem is that the app doesn't have a "don't sleep" toggle like other apps, and my phone's only sleep settings are 10 min max so I have to fiddle with it a few times during the workout or it'll close the app and lose all your day's progress.

4. only problem I see is that the screen seems to freeze (the screen darkens) after I finish a run, making me force close and open the app again (it still retains info from the run tho).

5. The screen shuts off randomly and the option to keep screen on seems to make it turn off quicker.

6. I have to use a different media player (which is fine) because this app doesn't give any ability to make a playlist (just plays all music on the phone).

7. I do like that I can play music in the app and still get the prompts to warm up, run and walk but something needs to be done about workouts it doesnt fully track.far to often lately, the app won't update my runs on its own.

8. Now I've finished the 5k portion, am regularly running 4 miles at a time, and just today started the 10k program.

9. I often go back a week or two but cannot notate that only delete previous sessions.I love all the stats it gives you at the end: distance, speed, elevation changes, etc.

10. I keep trying to beat my times and distances for motivation but even today of the 3.86km I ran the app only saw .1km. I have reached out to the developers via e-mail 2x in the last 2 weeks with no response.

11. I started feeling like I was going to die running 90 seconds at a time.
