Comments on NHS Couch to 5K for Android

★★★★★ Team Wilson · Jun 18, 2026
Tried as a rehab aid after an achilles injury. Fantastic way to build confidence and stamina week on week, following a structured and motivational program. Highly recommend!
★★★★★ Ella H · Aug 9, 2026
I was a regular runner until my second trimester and, now I've had the baby, I'm doing couch to 5k to build my confidence and fitness back. It's an amazing free program, and I'm so glad I'm doing it!
★★★★★ Sharon Hall · Jun 16, 2026
It's a good app to get you to start running. Do all the sessions and if the longer runs are too much repeat the previous week until you feel comfortable doing longer run.
★★★★★ Becky Kinghorn · Aug 2, 2026
Just finished week 2, and I'm feeling fitter already. The app gives me the motivation I wouldn't have had on my own.
★☆☆☆☆ Charlotte Fabb · Jul 23, 2026
My first run, I felt sure that I had been running for longer than it told me. I locked the phone and put it in my pocket, and when I took it out 3 mins later it said only 1 min had passed. This happens consistently unless I deliberately keep the app open and screen on. I tried turning off the battery saver settings but no change. I'll have to find a different app.
★☆☆☆☆ Chris Welch · Jun 2, 2026
I installed it after asking the "Ai helper" if it was calibrated to help those of us with limited mobility. It is not. So I cannot recommend it if you are in a wheelchair, use crutches or a stick and have limited mobility but want some help or company whilst you shuffle. Forgotten about again!
★☆☆☆☆ J B · Jun 21, 2026
Waste of time. I just couldn't figure out how to use it, apps are aimed at younger people not over 50s. It's like we're written off but unless we get help it's our children who will be funding our nhs care in the future. Make apps simple for all.
