I just downloaded it to my Android. I'm going to start tonight. I'm just letting my 100 calorie popcorn settle.
I have seen good reviews on the Google Play store, however I'm curious if any of you have tried it.
What's your take on it? Awesome? Not Awesome?

I feel like it will be a good tool to make my runs less tedious and less boring.

    I have the Zombies, Run! 5k training app and just the normal zombies, run! app.

    The 5k training is what I'm using now. It's neat! Make sure you sync to your online account- that will tell you lots of awesome details about your run.

    I've tried it a couple times. I think it's a fun motivator to really get some sprints into my running routine. HOWEVER, I tend to run at night, and honestly, I was freaked out just a bit in the dark (even though I was running with friends and had the sound on speaker). LOL Now that we have longer daylight, I'm planning on using it a bit more. :-)

    Yup! I have it on my Galaxy.

    I took it out for a run in the middle of the night around my streets and lets just say I ran for my life haha

    It's really good :)

    Yes! It's basically amazing. There's a group for it here on MFP too: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/6558-zombies-run-group

    I work graveyard shift including the weekends. On the weekends it's not that busy at my work so I'll go outside for up to 30 mins and jog. It's awesome to listen to and motivate you at 2AM.

    Love love LOVE it! I will start my week 3 next week, would be starting Friday but going out of town for a while. My tip, make sure if you use a playlist youve created, to click on the playlist before you start the run as you're going into the app, and make the songs shuffle. I had 3 miserable runs of the same songs over and over before I realized I could choose to shuffle my playlist
