I've jut started the Couch to 5k and I'm pleased with my progress but very frustrated with the app as it keeps crashing! I'm not very tech savvy(that's an understatement) can anyone help me solve this major irritation πŸ˜„

Perhaps you have an older device or it's almost full of other apps, if the latter delete the other apps that you seldom use, at first when I was doing C25K my old Smartphone could not have the app and I did all the runs from memory from my Laptop, however, I now have a Smartphone which has the C25K app.

It's only 12 months old, an Huawei. I will get rid of some old apps, thank you

You might also need to allow the C25K app to run in the background and exempt it from the battery saving features of your phone. Some brands are really aggressive in killing background apps.

Essentially Huawei brand phones get long battery life by breaking apps.

It took me to Week 3 that I was running the podcast from the website and not downloading it to my phone! It was way better then!
