So, I know they saying "You get what you pay for" usually holds true, but has anyone else had problems with the timer on this app? I did W1D3 today, and instead of 5 mins of warm up, it gave me 5 seconds (which was fine, since I was already warmed up from an hour of elliptical), but every time my phone locked, the time would speed up. I'd be running, unlock the phone, and it would be half way through the next walking phase, or vice versa. Any suggestions? Or is there another app that might work better? I hate paying for them when there are viable free options, and I really like this one so far, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work...

    I second RunKeeper, and if you need the C25K intervals, download the Podrunner Intervals podcasts... also free. They got me running last summer! Not my type of music, but it worked. Now I just run to my own music with RunKeeper.

    I definitely need the intervals. I have Runkeeper too, and will use that for independent walks/jogs, but I need a disembodied voice to tell me when to run/walk. Listening to prepackaged music would be hard for me, I'm a "listen to half a song and skip to the next" kinda person =)

    Logyourrun is the app I use the most. It has different settings for different activities. It's my favorite one, and I've tried a bunch of them.
