The app looks very nice, as a complete novice I was excited to use it. Especially since I have issues with shin splints so I could slowly train towards my goal. First session it gives me a 40 minute jogging pace. I can barely maintain that for 8 minutes. I would've loved to have more options as a novice to running. Although the app itself looks solid. Maybe when I get better at running I'll try again.

Visually looks good, but the app is extremely limited in functionality: if you don't run one of their very specific distances, then it won't even let you finish set up (10k is the smallest distance, even on imperial settings). Additionally, I had it crash 5 times before I even got to the part of the set up where I was forced to select a distance to train for. I was hoping to use this to perfect my 5k time or to train for the 1.5mile sprint I am tested on yearly, but that is not possible.

Hello ! Thank you for your honest feedback; we truly appreciate it. 😊 We agree that the lack of distance options is a gap, and we have great news—our team is already working on improving this! Here's a handy trick: if you'd like to train for a custom distance, select 'Trail' mode, where you can set your own distance anywhere between 5K and 400K.

The app works on MAXIMUM AEROBIC speed rather than Hear Rate. The paces are much too fast for a slower runners. The recovery pace of 13:40 per mile is far too fast for a lot of new runners. Because the AI bot can't calculate slower paces it doesn't work. MAS is more appropriate for team sport players, not distance runner I do like the mixed cycling and running workouts. The app is good if you are a runner who can finish a half marathon in less than 2 hours. Be better using RPE.
