Does anyone else use zombie run?

I've had this phone application on my iphone for over a year, and I'm really starting to get back in to it. The story is amazing and the fear of being chased by a horde of zombies makes me really pick up the pace. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll start actually running, instead of airport walking! So I was wondering what everyone's thoughts on it were?

    I used it when it first came out - I think there's been a new release pack that came out since, with some additional voices, but can't remember. Likewise started using it walking but I ended up stopping using it as I wanted to move onto a more structured running programme and increase speed overall, and I couldn't run both ZR and my sports tracker (endomondo) at the same time.

    Couple of notes:

    1 - don't play it at night. **** gets scary, especially if you live in an area where there are fruit bats which come lurching out of fruit at head height. the part where the dude rocks up on a motorcycle also happened in the dark, on a running trail, and I swear I nearly jumped sideways to get out of the way because it sounded completely like someone riding a trail bike behind me.

    2 - it gets boring after a while especially on longer runs. The radio station thing worked pretty well but on anything over an hour it got boring.

    oh and 3: it's harder to outrun the zombies than it is to outwalk them - ie you have to really sprint, which can be hard.
