C25K/ 10K running app

Is anyone having problems with the c25k or the following 10k training app? It would not work properly yesterday OR today. I have an android and I have used it for two weeks with no problems until yesterday. So annoyed. I even turned my phone off then tried starting the app again. The voice doesn't match the time for when I should run/walk. It tells me to "start running" then 90 second later: "Start running" then "Start running" then at random intervals it says "start walking", ten seconds later: "start walking" again! UGHHHH. So mad. I'm only on week 2 so I know exactly the interval spacing between walking and running but that voice gets annoying when it's just at random times. I've heard people say great things about this app so I don't understand why it is not working properly.

Is there a better running app out there? I am running a 5k in January and a 10k in May so I am hoping to find an app that keeps me motivated and on track.

I think there's a few different ones on the google play store.. maybe try a different app? or send the bug to the people that made the app. Also I've noticed sometimes with my phone (htc inspire) I can uninstall and re-install an app and that will fix it.

I tried the app 'Map My Run' tonight and it is WAY BETTER. I already know how to run so C25k really wasn't challenging enough. the constant pace that Map My Run shows keeps me motivated to keep going and go fast and longer. Love it! Thanks for the suggestion of trying a different app!

I used the c25kFREE app from Zen Labs with no issues. They have a free 10k app as well, which starts with the 5k training and just continues on so you only need the one app. Maybe give that one a shot?
