C5K crashing

[Tadfane]

three times now my app has frozen on the longer runs - once on my first 20 min run and twice now on my 25min runs . In Principle I know I will do the runs again so I am not to bothered it’s just a little frustrating. Does anyone else have this problem?

The app is a bit flaky unfortunately and will sometimes stop for various reasons.I had mine stop during C2 5k when I received phone calls .

If it continues to happen then all you can do is report to the developer on your download site so they are aware of the issues for further updates

same for me - any phone call or anything like that would pause the app for me when I was doing it which inevitably I wouldn’t notice until I was wondering why the run wasn’t over yet!!

What a pain! I never had any issues but I think that was luck more than anything. The longer runs are continuous so it might be worth setting an alarm on your phone as you set off so at least you won’t end up accidentally running for too long which might end up in injury.

Hi there... If you go to the online site with your phones Internet browser you can download the runs to your phone... Its what I do... It saves you being left hanging. Downside is the music choice sometimes feels like you've been put on hold... I half expect to hear "your call is important to us, please hold and one of our..........." 😁

I’m quite confused about what you’re referring to here. Which “online site” are you taking about? Do you mean the podcasts rather than the app?

[PrimaryConsumer in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Yes the podcasts, they are the runs set out into individual downloads that you can listen to whilst running, without the risk of them stopping. I am finding them much better than the app as my area has patchy roaming WiFi reception.
