App doesn't work

[TonyParkinson]

Downloaded the app to my Samsung Galaxy Fame over the weekend, went out to do Week 1 Day 1 this morning, App just sits there on my phone and does nothing. Anyone else had similar problems ?

I have had problems and gave up on the App. Download the podcasts and you can use them

The app seems fairly unreliable and doesn't give you the full NHS C25K experience anyway. You may hate the music but that's just an added incentive to complete every run successfully and graduate.

I didn't have this exact problem but the app didn't work for me- I followed advice and downloaded the podcasts, much more reliable 😀

I used the app, it worked apart from the music, but I ran to my own music anyway, it did mean juggling a few different things on my phone but worked ok for me.

Just use the music as a kind of metronome? I mean if you do run to some decent death metal you're probably not going to make it past Week 1. I used the podcasts, and didn't fuss too much with the music. It's not horrible, it's just something a lot of people wouldn't seek out for listening pleasure. There's quite a big gap between horrible, and plain old "don't <positively> like". A lot of Nurse With Wound songs are properly horrible (but interesting, strangely). The podcast music is just "pop" (to me, anyway). Why replace pop with pop if you're not a fan of either? The one song is equally anodyne to the other. Quite nice, really. Yes, let me change my vote upward a bit. The music on the podcast is quite nice. Not very nice, but far enough from horrible to be ... reasonably nice, even.

Hmm, but later you'll have to get yourself some extreme psychedelic techno trance Goa dubstep thing to set your pace for you.
