Zombies, Run! 5k Training App Reviews

Nothing fun, new or motivating for me. Waste of $$$s. Signal to run? What signal? I am very disappointed.

Bought this app and it wont download.... No trouble downloading other apps. Waste of money.

Great App - was 5 star - and I had no regrets but now (today) I keep getting an error message (incorrectly formatted API call), I cant sync my last workout and now I cant even log in! I reinstalled the App and I cant log in. Absolute shame if this isnt fixed.

I purchased this expecting to hear zombies chase me, 3 mins in sound goes out and no video footage at all. I want my 2 bucks back

I downloaded the app this weekend, very excited to begin playing today. When I woke up and created an account and tried to sign in, it told me my info was wrong. So I look on the website and it turns out is is a known issue and has not been fixed yet. So Im not able to sync my runs with the game portion of the app. Im also not able to share my gps info with Facebook/Twitter. This is a large piece of the app that just does not work. I will be contacting Apple to get a refund. Its not right to continue letting people pay for this app when its not actually usable the way its advertised.

This app has motivated me to stick with running. Its engaging and comprehensive. This 5k trainer has been the best one I have used to date. I feel like Im actually gaining endurance and with the step by step instructions I dont have to concentrate on timing myself. I just listen to the doc!

I love the app but cant get it to sync or login to my zombie link account. I would like to be able to share my run info and see past data.

Beginner-friendly running app. With zombies. Whats not to like?

I have to say I am a big fan of this app and the other app "zombies, run!". They make running fun with an interesting story that makes you come back for more! This app starts you off really easy. If it werent for the 10 min free run portions I would say it starts off overly easy. Only been using this app for a week so Im expecting it to pick up. The issues... Zombielink does not work with this app. You must create a second one right now under zombie link classic and then it will work if you want to share your runs. They say they are working on integrating the new and old systems so lets hope this happens soon! Occasionally my music has crashed but seems to be more phone related. I would still recommend this app as it is worth $2 for 25 workouts. Hope that helps someone out there on the fence of getting the app.

Im not a runner. I have zero stamina. I love video games and books and sedentary activities, but this, this got me through a charity 5K I was running. now I use the zombies run! original app and can jog through the whole episode without stopping. honestly, so worth it, and Im always looking forward to lacing up my running shoes.

This is the most engaging way I have found to be motivated to get out and get in shape. The story and characters get you interested and you will want to exercise. Even if you can only walk, you can do this app! Eventually, barring physical limitations, you will find yourself running and loving it! Ive gone from walking 3k in 50 minutes to running 5k in 33 min- not a rocket yet, but über great for a supremely out of shape 48 year old. Im waiting for them to make a 10k, half, and marathon app!

Ive been running from zombies for three weeks with this app, which means Im about halfway through to the 5K. I absolutely love it. The story and characters are very engaging - so much so that I hate to miss a workout. I dont use the in-app music player but run Amazon Music playlists at the same time. Im thrilled with my progress and will definitely be using the regular Zombies, Run! app once Ive completed all the 5K workouts.

This has made running fu...well not horrible. It keeps you entertained and gets you in shape. Its far better than any other C25k program Ive tried. Theyre just a could glitches away from a 5 star rating (and I so rarely give those out). The biggest glitch right now is that I cant sign in to sync data.

I have always enjoyed the feeling running gave me when I was all sweaty and out of breath. Sometimes those endorphins arent enough to make you step on that treadmill or paved running path. Introducing Zombies 5K - for when youre will isnt strong enough. Its captivating story telling, seamless transitions to drills, strength training and free form runs, and the apps simple integration of your own personal music playlist makes this app and training something to look forward to early in the morning or to wind you down at the end of your day. Purchase this app and its brother app Zombies, Run and you will not be disappointed.

Two bugs: you cant login with ZombieLink, which isnt that big of a deal if youre just using this for Couch25k. It kinda ruins the potential for me to head over to the Zombies Run app after this though, since all of my work will be nullified. Second bug: the program stops sometimes. Just keep a mental note of how long 30 seconds is and, if it feels like 30 seconds have come and gone, the app probably crashed :/ Other than that, great concept, great production value, great execution. Just has a few bugs that I wish theyd fix. I will say this Couch 2 5k is a little less structured than other Couch 2 5k programs; for example, after week 3, it just sets you on Freeform Runs, wherein youre told to just run and walk as much as you feel comfortable doing which, if youre lazy, youll probably not push yourself running as much as you should. The VERY FIRST mission you do, if you select that you havent played a Zombies Run game before is unforgiving compared to Week 1 Workout 1s mission.

A wonderful motivator, great additions to the story, and fun way to ease in to a 5k

Running is too hard on my hips and knees, which I discovered after getting the app. Instead though, I have been using it while on the trampoline (a mini one). What an encouraging reason to bounce! :-D

They give you the instructions before you start but not remind you while running

I love Zombies run, but I just started back up after months of not running, and the app isnt posting my progress to Facebook, nor is it showing on ZombieLink. Im disappointed to have missing stats from my first two runs.

Ive had the "big brother" version of this app just for fun for about 9 months now. I used it when I would walk to pick up my kids from school and back and I loved that app. I never saw myself wanting to run but recently went to support my wife at a 5k color run and decided I wanted to give it a go. So I downloaded this app and its been just as much, if not more fun than the "big brother" version. Its easy to use, easy to understand your next steps, easy to check the status while in or after a run and does an excellent job keeping track of your distance ran and pace. I would recommend this app to anyone looking for a motivating 5k run app. Theres a caveat to that though; if you have the other zombies, run! apps and want all of you exercises to go into one place, they wont. I am nearly a month into this app and I still cant get zombielink to work. It works just fine from zombies, run! but the 5k trainer will not link at all. I have not had any problems with the story cutting out or a loss of sound that others have reported, but Im rather disappointed that this app does not link to the other via their system as advertised. For that reason I can only give four stars. But, I still completely recommend this app. That one glitch does not make this app any less fun to use.
