Music problem..

I have just discovered I can play the couch 2 5k app at the same time as listening to my music...the only issue is ( quite a big issue actually ) initially my music goes quiet in order for Laura to talk..but after the first time the music doesn't turn down again. I can faintly here her come back and talk again but can't hear what she's saying? Has anyone else had this issue and managed to resolve it? I'm using an iPhone 4s.

Yep, folks do report issues with the apps, and find that the podcasts are better on mp3 players

I use the app because I like to listen to my own playlist. I haven't had any problems with it at all although I acknowledge that th volume can be a bit odd. My advice is to buy iPod earphones if you don't have them and those type of earphones are comfortable for you. They have a volume switch on the wire that you can toggle if you find either your music or Laura too loud or quiet. Also, if you press once in the middle of the switch, it pauses your music and pressing twice quickly will start it again. I find this quiet useful for the bits where Laura gets chatty! Hope this helps and good luck!

If you use the podcasts you have the benefit of the full shared experience... "Julie" is a rite of passage. She can be bypassed but there's a special satisfaction in going through her.
