App issues

[viki83viki]

Not sure if I'm missing something, but if I navigate away from the App during a run, say to start my music or change it, then I can't get back to my current run even though the commentary for it is still going. When I re-open the app it takes me to the home page where I can see my progress through the weeks. If I then select the run I am on, it begins a whole new run commentary over the top of the first one. Is there any way to get back to the active run does anyone known please? It's not on my swipe down menu, whatever that thing is called! 🤔 Thanks.

Do you use an apple phone or an android phone? I use android and just leave the app open while using my music player etc. So I can still switch between them, but I'm aware that Apple stuff works completely differently.

Maybe you could be try starting your music first, so the C25K app is the last thing you start up?

Mine is Android . There isn't a way to leave the app open on my phone (Samsung) as I have to hit the home button to be able to select a different app, and once I've done that I can't get back to the app to see the visual progress tracker for that particular run, or even to pause or stop the run I've started.

Oh, my phone gives me tabs to flip between, but I do tend to start up the music and Strava and then last of all C25K. I think that might be worth a try.

Well, there you go - I WAS missing something. 🤣 did not know I had a button to toggle apps - its been there all along and I've never used it. So I've learnt something new. Thanks Dylan!

I've got a Samsung; if you press the bottom left button on the screen it will show you what apps you have running. Just find the C25K app press it and it will come back as the top screen.

Just seen DylanTheRabbit has already told you that.
