Hi, I did both just make sure you don’t accidentally switch podcasts off which I did but only once😉 I hope you enjoy as much as I have

I second making sure you don't switch the podcasts off. I did it once but never made the same mistake again... I do like how you can run them at the same time and I always ran an app to see how far I was covering... hope you enjoy it 😊

Others say they have done so, but think they may be confusing the app with the podcast.

The podcasts are audio files with talking and music on them and if you somehow managed to play your own music at the same time,on the same device, then I can't imagine you would hear anything intelligible.

I understand you can play your own music at the same time as the app and that your music dips when there is vocal guidance from the app.

Yes the podcasts have their own music which is an acquired taste. The app is designed for you to play your own music. Both will talk you through what you need to do, explaining what the run will be like, warm up walk, when to run and walk and a cool down walk.
