Instructor’s voice breaking up over music

Does anyone else have issues with, in my case, Sarah Milligan’s voice crackling and cutting out when it’s overplaying my music?

I have an iPhone X and blue tooth to my ear pieces.

If you’ve solved this issue, how did you do it. I couldn’t understand any of the final couple of time prompts and I wasn’t sure whether I was supposed to be running and for how long, walking or warming down. Thanks.

One way that might work is to force it to re-download the voice files by changing your trainer to someone else, quitting the app completely (swipe away in the "double press" app switcher), then changing back to Sarah.

Haven’t had a problem myself but some do say if you’re running 3 apps (music, C25k and run mapping for instance) this can happen. I use Spotify and C25K then track on my Fitbit which seems to work fine….

Thank you. Now I’ve mapped it, I’ve reinstalled the voice and won’t need to use the mapping. Fingers crossed.

It's because you are using bluetooth headphones. There is a known bug with the iPhone version of the app which causes this issue over bluetooth - works fine with wired headphones.

Leave an app review complaining about the issue - the developers don't seem interested in fixing it but if enough people complain maybe they will be forced to.

I’ve got the same issue and will do the suggestion from Mikew84 of leaving a developers comment about this. Very frustrating
