Zombies, Run! 5k Training App Reviews

The zombies make it interesting, motivating and fun. Good dialogue and storyline, good pace/progression, easy to follow. All in all, best few $ Ive spent in a long while.

Really enjoy the app! Ive been using it and find the story to be interesting enough to keep me going. Two pieces of advise for improvements. 1. Id like it if the App was a little more interactive. For example: instead of just setting time goals it would be cool if there were distance goals as well. For instance when Im being chased by a zombie I need to cover a certain distance to get away from it. Also to make it more interactive I wish I could see a progress bar/report for how close I am to finishing the run while running. 2. The app crashes and I lose my distance progress. If I skip too many songs within a couple seconds the app will start playing all the songs at once. Once all the songs finish playing the app crashes and I lose my progress. All in all a great app and I am happy with it.

Everyone, literally, everyone who downloads a running app have one common request, tracking metrics. How the app motivates you is secondary. People want to be able to track their progress. As a long time user of Zombies Run! I have grown to love the zombie link. Unfortunately, this link does not exist with this app forcing users to create a new account. Its a common theme in the reviews and on the six to start support site. Hopefully the company can get back to the basics and fix this basic need for the loyal customer base.

I just finished this program and I absolutely loved it! I went from not running at all to being able to easily run 5 miles in less than an hour with this app. I wish they did a 10k, half, and marathon trainer as well because I would buy them without reading reviews. Love this app, I recommend it for anyone who wants to train and not get injured from doing too much, too fast. Perfect!

App hasnt been updated in two years. It no longer functions with the connected Zombies! ecosystem so you cannot upload your runs to their site.

Really love the whole zombies run world but would love to see this app updated for the current iOS. Or at least add this beginner program to the zombies run game.

Zombies Run 5K is awesome. I hated running before and now, I look forward to it ! One problem though : the app has a tendency to crash when you are running and unlock your phone to check your time for example. If there were a fix for that, the app would definitely be worth 5 stars !

I am not the most motivated person, and ZR5K keeps me going. I will not lie, its not a miracle, but it is a very good motivation boost. I only wish it would sinc better with Apple Health and calorie counting apps (I am using other running app alongside ZR5K for this solo purpose).

.....PLEASE translate in german!

Nice Game, but activating the built-in-Music player leads to a total Crash-down of the App. Im using an 4S.

Not optimized for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+ Time for an update

Im not sure it will train me to be ready for a 5K in eight weeks when the first week is limited to 15 second running intervals and the second week brings it up to 30 seconds

I wanted to like this app. Ive had the main one for a few weeks now, and am trying to get back into running after an injury. Pros: - Like the interface, and like the web site (Zombie Synch) Cons: - no ability to skip ahead. This program assumes that you are starting at absolute zero, and that 15s running intervals will be difficult enough for you that you need three sessions to progress. Theres no option to jump in at a level more appropriate for where you are at. This will be a giant waste of time for me. - it would be worth it if the runs progressed the Zombies, Run story at all, but they dont. You dont really learn anything about Abel Township, or the history of the zombie apocalypse. You dont even collect supplies you can apply to the main app. - No Zombie chases! This to me was the whole point! Basically, this is a limited 5K training app, where the time cues are given to you by people in their Zombies, Run characters, suitable for people who are total beginners.

Any interruption makes the app stop the mission and you cant even continue. You have to start from the beginning again. Had to buy a different app which has no glitches and has made this one obsolete. Id like my money back but that aint gonna happen. Thanks!

Eight weeks ago the only running I did was for the bus. I still have one run left and I can now run a full 5k with only two three minute breaks (after the second and fourth k). I do have to say that it started out much easier than I needed it to but in some ways it was a good lead up because it gave me an early sense of mastery and I just compensated by pushing myself really hard during the 15 sec sprints. I highly recommend this product. It may be less interactive than the full version but it provided me with the motivation I needed to stick with it.

Giving it a 3 because it crashed- and although it didnt bump me to the very beginning of the run I was still annoyed that I got bumped back to do another sprint that I had just finished. It also recorded my time from when it crashed- it didnt take me 12 min to complete the first round (should have been around 35min)- so itll be hard to track progress. I would also like to be able to see a generated map of where I ran from my phone. Think itd be nice to see on a map after... As well as a map to show all completed runs so I can eventually see how much further I got each time. Would also like the app to be more integrated- and not have to log on to website. I will up the stars when these happen. I have a few other integrated work out apps that track progress / make specific recommendations so I know its not far fetched. I do like it though and havent given up on it yet. there is room for improvement... but it did get me out of the house early to actively run from zombies, theres also a good story line too- like someone is reading a great book to me ... Takes my mind off of how embarrassed I am trying to run in public ;)

Works well with me as I want to get better at running long distances and I really like zombies

Im only in week three of training but Im totally hooked. Ive never been able to find anything to keep me engaged in workouts until I downloaded this app. Best app Ive ever purchased.

Good for a rank beginner - starts very slowly. Little bits of story help keep the boredom at bay. A few problems with playlist not playing once on awhile but I still love it.

Week 2 workout 2 keeps cutting off at the 19 minute mark. Fix this please
