Where did the sound go?
The previous version worked awesome. It would talk and beep when it was time to run or walk. This new version only does that if your iPhone is on. No sound while locked. What good does a notification message do when I'm running? I don't want to stop to look at my phone to notify myself. Please me the voice come back while in lock screen.
Love it!!
Holy crap, I am a runner but never a distance runner but with this thing it makes me work harder. I love this and now with the update we now know when we are halfway there instead of always unlocking the iPod and looking at the time. But what I would like is if you are on the 10 minutes, if it could say 5 minutes, 4, 3, etc. That way me as a runner can pick up my pace more at the 5 minute warning.
I have done tons of 5ks but I didn't know how to prepare for it but with this as well it's like a gift from god. I am both physically and mentally ready for the 3.1 miles. With my music in the background and the voice telling me when to run and when to walk its perfect!
I recommended this app to my guide and he said he enjoys it cause today we used it and he said it was a neat thing, so this is a good app that is well worth your time. Even if you are doing miles for the heck of it, this is perfect. Even if you are running for a race (like me) it's the thing of the decade. :)
Loved the old one but not the update
The old one was great but I can't hear the coach at all on this one. Please help. I am finding it useless
