App doesn't work... nit sure it's installing properly as the "installing" indicator just keeps rotating. When you tab away from the playstore app and return then return playstore says app installed but opening the app just results in the kiprun pacer splash screen and waiting doesn't change that screen. Stopping the app and restarting doesn't get any further."Failure to load profile (?)" error eventually. Tried to email but your server is misconfigured. App uninstalled for now

This app is absolutely fantastic, I'm six weeks away from competing in my first ever half marathon and this app has got me to this point. The schedule is spot on, the sessions are so varied, I love the fact that it exports to my garmin watch so all my sessions are there at the press of a button. It's not just running in the schedule, you also work on flexibility, breathing, mindfulness, nutrition and recovery. I would thoroughly recommend this app.

The app looks very nice, as a complete novice I was excited to use it. Especially since I have issues with shin splints so I could slowly train towards my goal. First session it gives me a 40 minute jogging pace. I can barely maintain that for 8 minutes. I would've loved to have more options as a novice to running. Although the app itself looks solid. Maybe when I get better at running I'll try again.

The app works on MAXIMUM AEROBIC speed rather than Hear Rate. The paces are much too fast for a slower runners. The recovery pace of 13:40 per mile is far too fast for a lot of new runners. Because the AI bot can't calculate slower paces it doesn't work. MAS is more appropriate for team sport players, not distance runner I do like the mixed cycling and running workouts. The app is good if you are a runner who can finish a half marathon in less than 2 hours. Be better using RPE.

App is really nice but i can't use it on a treadmill. There should be treadmil option with freedom to edit session, speed, time and distance. Weather is cold outside soi am running on treadmill but it just won't record the run because of no gps data.

Great app, any links out of the app are defaulting to Vietnamese. Should add a setting to set your country in the app.

I love this app! Really helpful plan. I have found that the most recent update isn't entirely accurate. I'm not sure why the session length etc is inaccurate and the score is quite harsh.

First of all. AMAZING trailer. I got goosebumps when I heard it and was even motivated to go for a run on my off day. So great job with that. Secondly I am super excited to start using this app, I have been on the hunt for a good training app for a marathon, but I could not find one. Either you had to pay for the app, or the apps use images of ladies (in minimum clothes) jogging to attract people. Kiprun Pacer avoids all that which I am SO thankful for. Please keep it that way Kiprun Pacer!!

Just started this app with a coros watch. Seems very good but one question I have is that after first workout the data didn't seem to sync back to the pacer app from my coros watch coros app so I had to add manually. Is that normal? Thanks Think I've sorted it now. Have to go to coros app and select 3rd party choose decathlon and sync. I'll try again on next workout Thanks John Used plan to complete recent half marathon. really enjoyed using it and will use again next year!

This app works great, I am giving two stars becuase if I gave it 5 stars the devs might not see this review, I will come back to give it the deserved 5 star once this has been responded to. Since the update, the pace portion of the workout export now exports with the wrong pace information on Garmin. For example the prompt was asking me to run at 13km - 14km pace when in fact it should be 5km pace.

Great, until you try using it whilst outside of the country you registered an account with. You are taken to the regions login page, with no option for using your Google account. Even with a VPN you don't get the option, so you can't access the app again.

Run distances were exactly the same no matter what distance setting I put in my plan. Also paces can be hard to know what is expected. The run said 11:55 pace working towards 11:05. I did exactly that, first mile 11:42, second 11:20, third 11:05, fourth and fifth both the same as the third. It made my average pace 11:18 which you would think is just right, but it gave me 'insufficient' rating for the run. It wanted me to be at 11:25-11:40 pace over the whole run, but it never gave me this info.

Really pleased with how it has worked for the past 5 weeks, making huge progress with my running and really enjoying the sessions. Since Sunday, unfortunately, when I download a session to my watch the paces do not match the session. Not sure if it is a bug but rather frustrating. Also have the app is currently in French!

Great app with plans dynamically adapting based on your debriefing. It has extra features embedded such as body relaxation exercises and meal suggestions with recipes, very cool. Will continue to use it to prepare for my races. Thanks for the app. (The fact that you generate fidelity points with your runs is the cherry on the cake)

Used it for my first marathon. I missed my goal by 3 minutes. Everything in the app worked 100% , my only criticism is that the long runs should be longer (30-35 K ) repeated at least 3 times to get the mind and legs prepared for the shock of the marathon. Overall , I'm glad I used the app. Thanks

Visually looks good, but the app is extremely limited in functionality: if you don't run one of their very specific distances, then it won't even let you finish set up (10k is the smallest distance, even on imperial settings). Additionally, I had it crash 5 times before I even got to the part of the set up where I was forced to select a distance to train for. I was hoping to use this to perfect my 5k time or to train for the 1.5mile sprint I am tested on yearly, but that is not possible.
