I am trying to get to the bottom of some of the app problems we are having at the moment. Please could you list any problems you have had with the app in the last couple of weeks.
Things that would help
1) what the problem is
2) what system you use, Android or iPhone
3) operating software (if you know)
Many thanks

I have had a couple of runs during weeks 7 and 8 where the app simply stopped working during my run and it was only after suspecting I had run a lot longer than the set time, I noticed the app had stopped and reset the run.
Android and Apple - problems with blue tooth audio quality - crackling for the voice of the trainer... (although music plays perfectly through same headphones).
Android phone: frequent 'stopping' and closing of the app mid run,
Apple - one time when it stopped for 10 minutes then continued... luckily I was running another running app to help timing.
I've just got in from a W8R1 run where I was meant to run for 28 minutes, but Sarah went quiet. Luckily I set strava to record so I could see I'd run for 29.5 minutes. No wonder I was tired! 😩 This isn't the first time that the app has closed on me.
Sometimes it hasn't saved my runs.
At least once a week the trainer is not available for my current run, so I switch between MJ and SM.
Week 8 I had a few repetitions at the end, final word of encouragement/outro. Week 9 run 2 the app paused shortly after starting to run, but I only realised 17 minutes in after I wasn’t getting any words of encouragement! I use the app on an iPhone.
Hi, I did run 3 of week 4 today and it has not logged my run. The app worked fine whilst I was running but it just didn’t save. I’m using I phone 8. Thank you
In agreement with the Bluetooth quality. I have 2 pairs of Bluetooth headphones and in both of them the sound quality was so cracking for Sarah that i couldn’t hear her and had to change coaches. Music plays with no issues.
I have had the app stop - fortunately during a walking section in week 3 (and I wear a Forerunner watch, so can use it for timing if necessary). I have also had problems with not being able to use the trainer I wanted as it said my phone didn't have enough memory. Also, the reminders never worked.
However - it has just upgraded, with some new functions, and the reminders now work!! Maybe the new upgraded version will stop the other niggles?
If you get an app problem, I would recommend a good app & software developing company. That can help you, the fix this that app. Or suggest developing a similar application for you. On the individual for you. How do you like this idea? For example, I ordered them cloud application development services( oxagile.com/services/cloud-... for my cloud app project.
1) Week 5 Run 3 it says on the screen walk 5 run 20 walk 5 then it when you press run now Sarah millican says well done on reaching week 3!! I kept checking it was right and cannot get her to work on week 3! I re ran week 2!
1. Runs not saving (intermittent). Trainers voice speeding up (like in the old days when you put an LP on at 45rpm) but only when playing music - turning music off stops this. The smiley face icons how you felt about this run sometimes don't save or allow me to change of the straight faced central default.
2. Samsung S5
3. Andriod 6.0.1
Play Store says there is an update for C25K - but the last time I updated it it wiped all my runs so I don't want to risk it again!
Today on W6R3 the App stopped working on my final run but I didn’t realise until I wasn’t receiving words of encouragement from Sarah. I also felt like I had run longer than the 10 minutes (I had) 😂 This is the first time it has happened.
Hi, same issues as above- specifically week 8. App stops working part way (-literally shuts itself down), and I only notice when I think I've run a long time with no update/words of encourament! Also repeats of intros at start of the run.
I have a Samsung so Android device.
Hi Rfc. I've just run W5R3, hoping to listen to Sarah Millican when I clicked on the app, but she wanted to start me at W3. She's been fine for the rest of W5 - bit miffed she dumped me for the big one! However good old Michael Johnson was there to talk me through it.
Week 3 and I've started using bluetooth headphones. Sarah's voice is glitching throughout but there also seemed to be a gap in the instructions one minute I was walking and the next she was telling me I had 60 seconds left to run. It's possible I missed her instruction to start because of the headphones but I don't think so - I think it just skipped a bit.
My app sometimes turns off mid way through a run. It always seems to be around the half way bell on the same stretch of road. I only notice when that section is much longer than it should be.
