Anyone use the Zombies, Run app? I used it for the first time yesterday. I liked it... just wished there were more zombie attacks...i felt like there was too much time in between attacks. Seems fun otherwise.

    Yep I use it and I love it :) I turn on the zombie attacks when I want to do interval training, and I agree that there aren't enough of them really.

    i got it but never tried it out yet. Do you need to watch your phone while running?

    I love it. I'm alternating between Zombies Run and their 5k trainer switching back and forth each day (I just finished one week overall). At this point, I'm not playing with the zombie attacks/chases on, but I plan to, once I've played through both seasons, to go back and do it at a run and turn on the chases.

    I never watch my phone once I start a mission. It's got very clear cues (the radio transmissions alternate with music for 30 minute runs and with the 5k trainer). With the 5k trainer, music also quiets so vocal cues. I had to download a secondary app though for all my playlists to register within the app.

    I just started using it, with zom attacks off to begin. I love that I can play Pandora in the background while playing, but my complaint is that, even once configured, it doesn't track my calories burned. I ran it with Mapmyrun running at the same time- it drained my battery a bit, but I got my correct calorie count.

    tl;dr- Great app, use with Mapmyrun.

    I've used it for a total of about 1.5 hours and it's ok. The story hasn't really been all that intriguing to me... yet. I also don't like how it handles the music and transmissions. It'll cut off a song and the guys will start talking and then say 'now another song' and then it picks up where it cut off the last song. If it would do the radio transmissions in between songs it'd be a lot better.

    I love Zombies, Run! Their new walking program is pretty neat too!

    I love it! I'm almost done with Season 1. Luckily there is a Season 2. I have also done the 10K mission during my 10K. They keep me entertained while running, which is kind of funny since I'm not a big fan of zombie movies or tv shows. There is a FB group of the same name that we talk about the app and our running progress if you'd like to join us.

    I just picked up this app today because it's on sale. It looks like a lot of fun, but I don't know if I can use that and the 5K program I'm on in RunKeeper.
