Pros and cons of Couch to Half Marathon app for iPhone and iPad

Couch to Half Marathon app good for

Although I have not completed my half marathon I am a few weeks into the program- feeling great an loving it. The program is easy to follow and the videos are awesome!
What a fantastic app. This has everything you need to get yourself up and running and ready for a half marathon. Weekly schedules are very easy to follow, the videos for each week overall and core workout demonstrations are excellent to show exactly what each exercise looks like, and these all really work together for great motivation. There are nutrition tips, running tips, motivational quotes which alone would be well worth the price of the app. If you are working towards a half marathon this is the app for you!

Some bad moments

Just downloaded this. Clicked to listen to intro video and theres no audio! I thought this would be an active app that I put on when I go run, but no, it just shows a weekly schedule I wasted 1.99!!!
Created in 2012 outdated and broken. The app has no interactive features and looks to be created based on info found through a few Google searches. The audio on the videos does not work and it is a total waste. I didnt realize that products like this were allowed on the marketplace and I hate that I was mislead.
Although I agree with the previous rater that the nutrition and other info seems good. This should definitely not be called couch to 1/2 marathon. Anyone who gets off the couch (aka a beginner) and attempts to run 2 miles on Tuesday and by Sunday run 3.2 miles with no instruction is guaranteed failure or injury. This transition should take weeks of walk/run intervals and thats what I need and thought I was getting. The title is misleading. There is an after-thought bonus 5k/10k spread sheet but with all of the other step by step voice over apps out there, this just doesnt cut it. Purchase regretted.
Very user friendly, easy to understand, and some added inspiration & motivation along the way. Exactly what I was looking for as I prepare for a half marathon.
But too simplified for most folks. Those that are couch creatures truly CANT run the distances youre proposing in the short amount of time youre putting forth. Reality has to set in at some point....slow build up. We got a nation of fatties if you havent noticed. Youre doing right by this though ;)
ThiS is NOT for starting out runners... This is for advanced runners that can already run 3 miles wittout issues. Which, if they knew anything.. 3 miles is actually the HaRDEST mile marker to overcome. DONT BUY!!! waste of $$
