Anyone using Zombies Run!

Just wanted to ask if those using the app have experienced the same problem as I'm getting. The storyline plays but every so often when the music is meant to be played it gets stuck and I get silence. The only way past this is to pause the track and then resume play, then the music kicks in and it runs trouble free for a while before glitching again. It's annoying having to drop back from a run to a walk so that I can fiddle with my phone to get it working again. Wondering if anyone has managed to fix this problem and how?

    I use it but haven't had that issue.

    I'm wondering if it's a signal problem as it only happens when I use it at the gym (no mobile signal there) but never had a problem whilst running outdoors. Thing is at the gym I'm not using GPS (using treadmill) so I didn't think that would be the problem, but not sure...

    I've only used it outside, so I guess it's possible.

    Maybe log onto the Zombies, Run website and send them a message?

    Interested to see what everyone says - been thinking of buying it (the Android version) but have seen some mixed reviews.

    I'm using the Zombie 5k app (same company C25k training), had no problems at all, but then I'm using it outside too. Looking through the settings and help on the app, you don't necessarily need a GPS signal, though I'm not sure how you'd set it to use the Accelerometer (iPhone and iPod touch).

    I have no clue about Android phones

    I'd contact support and see what they have to say

    Thanks for the replies, will contact support after the weekend and see what they say. I'm running outdoors tomorrow so will see if it's trouble free again. I have a strong suspicion that it has something to do with the lack of phone signal at the gym.

    Hope I'm not hijacking the thread - but when it works, is it a good app? Currently doing C25K but looking at other apps to keep my motivation up!

    Out of the variety of apps and podcasts I've tried for C25k Zombie 5k is the one that's kept my interest and actually has me itching to get back out running. Have a look at C25k group where you can get more info and tips http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/30-couch-to-5k-running-program-c25k

    I can't comment about the Zombies C25k app as I haven't used it but the Zombies Run! I'm finding fun so yes I'd recommend it but I guess not everyone is going to enjoy it, depends what you like :)

    I used it in the gym for the first time last night and came up with exactly the same problem.
    Had to switch my phone off and back on, then it worked fine.
    I've not had that problem when using it outside though.

    Great app though.
