Is anyone else using this app? I did the first mission during my walk/run last night and it was sooooo fun, super impressed.

    I love it - since I started running last October I've been using it lots and an almost caught up to the newest Season 5 release. I've done all the races and side missions and stuff too and I often use radio mode as well. I find it very motivating because I feel the need to keep going until the mission is over even if I might normally have slowed or stopped. It's one of the few freemium apps I've ever paid for because I found it so worth it and wanted to support them financially.

    I give it credit for taking me from barely-5K to half-marathon in less than 3 months as well.

    Edited to add: according to the app I've used it for over 800 miles since I started :)

    I love it too - very entertaining! And I'm motivated to go for a run so I can get supplies for my base ;-)

    Am the only one who was bored by this app? I think there's something wrong with my app because it's a story and you pick things up, that's it. I wish I had zombies chasing me like how it's advertised.

    @Asher_Ethan you have to activate the zombie chases. You choose how often you get chased and how much faster you need to run to escape them. It's in the options for each mission.

    @Sixtine79 before I start the mission?! Is it on the page of the mission?

    mine kept freezing on me or would get quiet after it would tell me to run and then nothing would happen. so I deleted the app. would have been fun had it worked right

    @Asher_Ethan correct! When you tap on the mission you have three buttons: music, gps, and chases. That's where you can pick and adjust.

    Well the story portions happen every 5 minutes or so, so there is quiet in between, and you can also turn on zombie chases so things happen in between the story portions :) as for the freezing up, I don't have an answer to that, but maybe if you try re-installing it, it might work correctly :)

    Wow, thank you for finding the only thing that might actually get me to do some cardio.

    I've been using this app for years. I really love it. You really get to feel for the characters. You can set it so there's music in between the story clips and not silence. I believe it now works with Spotify in addition to music you have on your phone. You can adjust the length of each "mission", too, by deciding how many songs to play in between each clip.

    I just did the first mission last night around midnight with my best friend. It was hilarious to watch her get freaked out when the zombies chased us
