Amazing story, but broken app. The writing in this game is great. The story is immersive and includes a diverse cast without over-stimulating or overwhelming the user. I feel genuinely connected to the characters and I can both celebrate their successes and feel their pains. It’s a gripping story, sometimes. This app is incredibly buggy, though. You can “pick up items” for your base in this game, but the app is broken and will only pick up one item per run and get stuck before playing the “item pickup” speech. Second, the mission dialogue is broken. I have to pause and un-pause over and over to get dialogue to play. These two factors greatly de-motivate me from playing the game. The app also has some poor design choices, in my opinion. Despite having a login feature, bug reports need to be sent by an email directly connect to a device. This could be fine if instead an email was displayed to users where they could open a browser and send a email, but I can’t find that address. Also, the automatic downloads for the next mission doesn’t work as advertised, and I still have to do it manually. Sometimes I download the wrong mission and have to wait get the actual next story, further demotivating me from playing. Don’t pay for this app. It’s buggy and has some user interface issues. Play for the story, though, because it’s fantastic. (FYI, I’m on the iOS 13’s current update and the bugs are still present.)

Great story!. I’ve been playing Zombies Run since back when it was a one time purchase and have subscribed off and on. The story just gets better and better. But I keep holding out hope that they will do something more with the base builder. The zombie attacks were such a little element of gamification, but it made the supply gathering more meaningful. And the base itself is a visible measure of my own progress as it withstands challenges. I understand if people are concerned that they may be injured or unable to exercise and the base might suffer, but I see no reason attacks can’t be paused or opted out of whenever needed, just like the zombie chases. Just my two cents! Regardless, I keep coming back and zombies run helps me get back in shape whenever I struggle with my routine. I’m very grateful to have found it!

Got rid of some of my favorite things. I do want to start out saying that I won’t run without this app. The story is great and I love Sam in particular. Over the years, certain aspects have gotten better:the robot voice, transition between story and music, better tracking, etc. However, a lot of my favorite things have been taken away. The base builder feature no longer have achievements to work for or gets attacks while you’re away. Zombie link no longer tracks your speed throughout the run. They got rid of most of the achievements in general to only a handful of them. Lastly, I miss just purchasing the seasons straight out instead of a yearly subscription. I miss that option. I know it’s a better business decision and some people prefer the yearly thing but as I’m not consistent with my running (and it took 3 or 4 years to get through season 3) it was a nice option to have. I still like this app and recommend it, but the elements I enjoyed most and fueled my competitive/gamer side has mostly been dismantled

Making me a runner. I always hated running, but I needed a way to get some extra exercise so I gave it a try. I’m building my endurance by running for a certain amount of time during the story parts (started 30 secs and increasing by 30 secs each run). I love this app! I’m only on season 1 but the story keeps me interested. I also love the supply pick up and base camp features. It gives you a sense of reward and accomplishment that you can enjoy before you start seeing the results on your body. Seeing your results through supply pick ups then leads to noticing you increased your steps or run time. Overall great running app for people who don’t like running. I now wake up excited to run and it’s thanks to this app. Hope my enthusiasm holds out in the winter.

The reason I run. This storyline for this app is amazing. I highly suggest and want everyone to try it. I’ve been using this app for 5 years now. This time last year I would have given it five stars. However, it’s only getting 4 stars as the company is now beginning to nickel and dime you for everything. You want to run one virtual race? You have to pay for all of them. They argue that their annual price is cheaper than two races combined in the “real world” and you get ALL of the virtual races. Sounds great but if you want merch to go with the virtual race you now have to pay for that separate. They’re branching out away from the main story too much (in my opinion) and they have yet to fix the Apple Watch glitch. Seriously, what’s the point on having the app as Apple Watch ready if it glitches with every single use? I do love this app but I’m a bit frustrated with where they’re currently taking it.

It used to be love. Honestly, I bought this app when it first came out and it was THE BEST run app. I told everyone. People I ran with, people who were just starting to run, strangers. It didn’t matter. I told literally everyone. Then I had a few surgeries and couldn’t run for a bit. Came back to find that all of my progress was gone and it was now a subscription. So I started over. Or tried to. This is where the glitches made it impossible. Music crashes happened on every run, progress didn’t save, miles weren’t accurate, run times were off and no matter the pace, you couldn’t outrun zombies. I’m talking about a pace increase from a light jog to a full on fast-as-you-can sprint, without being able to outrun them. It also doesn’t work on a treadmill, which is a bummer for people who need times to run with softer impact. I truly loved this app. I’m still trying to, but it doesn’t look good. The concept is amazing, the designers are talented but the cost is absurd. Especially for something that crashes on every run.

my first and only review. This is my first and only review of an app in all my many hears of having just about tthe whole gambit of all apps. In a nutshell: THIS IS AWESOME x 10^ 10th power! It has both my fav things all in one :horror, gore, militant milieu of an atmosphere, and running and pretending like im a FEMA Fed and/ or serving a higher purpose. Fight or flight response on whilst listening to songs from the walking dead or Rob Zombie songs in the backdrop ..,running at night on top of the fact that when if you ever face a predicament where you reallyyyy need to run for your life, you would be AMAZED at how hard you will push your body when it is a matter of survival ie life vs death. Kudos to whomever in Silicon Valley created this app; I really wish I had come up with something so ingenious!

Good way to get in shape. I downloaded this about a year ago around Halloween. I have been working my way through the story missions. They missions are made up of episodes that steadily increase in time, so it’s a great way to gradually increase the length of your runs while being distracted by chases and odd scenarios. The story line is engaging but allows for lapses where you can just listen to your music. There is also an option for run/walk training if you don’t want to follow the missions. The app tracks the distance and time of each run. It’s helped me change up my routine and increase the time I devote to running as I will not let myself advance in the mission storyline until I’ve done the previous episode. Highly recommended

Whoa! Super fun app!. I recommend his app to anyone who has been trying to start a running routine but couldn't stay interested. The video-game elements of the app let you "level up" and accomplish goals that take the focus off the fact that you're "exercising." I have a very hard time motivating myself to workout, but this app makes me want to just keep running (well, walk/jog/run at this point). The storyline is fun and compelling, the growling zombies are surprisingly motivational--I haven't run that fast in years! Love the voices, the format, and the entire idea. I'm hoping to be in good enough shape to run the Halloween Race in 2 months. Thank you guys! Next step: make it work with VR glasses!

Best Motivation to Run. Period.. I’m a 17 year old going into college. Throughout high school I played rugby so I stayed fit, but I decided to not continue that in college so I had a hard time finding the motivation to work out throughout the summer. I purchased various (inexpensive) gym memberships and at-home CrossFit programs, but never followed through for more then a week or two because I would get bored and cancel my membership or pack up my workout CD’s. I didn’t have the money for fitness classes, so I tried running and found that I enjoyed being outside, but I found myself getting bored of that fairly quickly too. After a few months of bouncing around different workout styles I found this app and let me tell you it works wonders. As soon as I start to space out and get bored the story comes on again and I’m able to focus on that and get excited for the next piece of the story. I use a secondary app for interval running, but as soon as I get some money from my upcoming birthday I plan on purchasing the yearly runner’s club membership and working out while following this totally rad story. First app I’ve ever rated btw

From out of shape to a sub 30 min 5k — I LOVE THIS APP!!. No joke, I literally did no exercise before this app. If you had told me a year ago that not only would I be running regularly, but that I would be ENJOYING IT, I would’ve told you you were crazy. But I swear I am doing it!! And it’s all thanks to this amazing app. The production is great, there are so many great features, the actors are beyond talented and the story is captivating — I cannot say enough good things. The other day I was in a running group and someone saw me turning on an episode and she mentioned that she uses it too, and we both fangirled about how much we love this app. Okay, that is all, please give it a try if you’re on the fence, I promise you won’t regret it!!

The perfect motivator. I got this app when I was trying to find some way to keep myself better motivated and entertained while walking. I remembered hearing about the app years ago and finally tried it. I quickly fell in love with the story and characters. You don’t want to stop going because you need to know what happens next! Another addition: in the almost decade I’ve been using apps since my first smartphone I have NEVER made an in-app purchase. This was the app that broke that streak and I believe it was well worth the price. Access to as many missions as I want and i still have a LOT of content to go through. I just started season 3 and now 7 is starting.

RIP OFF ALERT🚨. Basically, many ppl rave about this app but they are not realistic. Personally, I am a runner and it’s not that I CAN’T run but I GET BORED and need some excitement. If you do not PURCHASE “abel running” within this app, you are DEPRIVED of access to more exciting runs and that is an absolute rip off. The Abel running program within Zombies run gives you the option of paying six dollars a month or thirty five dollars a year. Realistically, you would be wasting your money either because you CANNOT GUARANTEE that you WILL RUN at some point in the day. I feel that running in the spring and summer is the way to go and is more fun with adventure implemented into it. However, I find it unfair that we people are given the ultimatum of “RUN NOW or LOSE YOUR MONEY” as the other experience that is free on the app is far more inferior compared to the other assets within the app that you are forced to spend on.

Getting buggier by the day. I want to love this app. I do enjoy the immersive storyline however the app sometimes requires in-run maintenance that causes me to stop to keep it working. Lately it won’t continue to the next downloaded mission automatically. I have to stop my run and restart it with the next mission in the queue. It will not connect to my Apple Watch. I have tried everything. I contacted support and they said other people have found workarounds. I don’t want a workaround I want my watch to connect. I track my time with Nike’s app since it is reliable. I look forward to the new stories. They are very well done. The developers need to put some time into the functionality of the app for something that is truly five stars.

It’s great, just wish there was one thing.... I wish you could set a timer or something for the chases. It’s really hard to know when to slow back down. If I could set it for different speed bursts or something for 1 minute, 30 second, or even 5 minute intervals just to keep from burning myself out halfway through that would be great. I do like being able to pause or stop my run at any point if I need a break though. The radio operator already has a lot of character and personality! I feel like if the game kills him off later or something like that I will start crying while I run and have to delete the app on principle of him not leading me around anymore! The plot is really cool so far too. And I love the at home workout feature and the mini world building game. I like how I haven’t seen any “buy more parts to build this” ads yet, so it means I really have to work to get those add ons every run and I’m not cheating myself. If you want to get into shape and start running this is a fun way to get into the habit real fast. I can’t wait to run again to find out what’s next!

Great Concept, Buggy App. I really love the idea behind this app -- the narrative storyline does a great job keeping me motivated to get out running consistently, and the writing is funny and engaging. The app also has a decent amount of free features like the settlement mini game and item collection. Unfortunately, the app is really buggy and the amount of bugs really minimizes my willingness to pay a subscription for this service. For instance, in the seven weeks I've been using the app: it counted chapter one twice, it only randomly calculates calories expended per run (and sometimes not at all), the zombie chases seem really inconsistent in whether it senses you speeding up (even if I'm all-out sprinting), and sometimes you get two zombie chases that overlap each other so that I can't tell what's going on. I really wish they would polish the main functionality and fix these bugs before trying to do spin-off apps or make people pay subscriptions for content. If they did that, it would be a killer 5-star app. But as it stands, it's just a decent app that I don't think is worth the money for the premium features.

Great app but NEEDS a VITAL update. Let me start by saying I love this app. Zombies, Run has a great story and amazing world/app that made me actually excited to work out and dive back into the next episode or work on building my base. The issue is you MUST have your phone always. A big problem if you have the Apple Watch with cellular and prefer to run without lugging your phone around. There is no reason why I shouldn’t be able to stream just the basic aspects of the game, running and the audio stories while tracking my progress, on the watch and then work on my base, etc. after my run is over and I’m back at my phone. This is an update I hope they are working on as it is the only thing that is keeping me from using this app as much as I like, every time I run outside and not on a treadmill I’m not taking my big iPhone plus with me. If they added this feature, it would be an easy 5 stars no question. PLEASE put some thought into adding this feature to the watch app!!

Great, but some real problems. Using the app is great. Over time, the story gets confusing, and the characters run together. This is especially because it’s playing while you’re exerting yourself and only ever paying partial attention to the details. Still, the zombie chases spur you on and keep running fresh. The watch app is absolute garbage, and has been useless for years. It hasn’t worked in about 5 versions of this app, and I’ve been running the latest hardware and OS on both the phone and watch. The watch app never loads, and when it did many years ago, it still required the phone to be nearby. The watch is no longer new tech, and there’s no reason this shouldn’t be fixed by now. Unfortunately, the problem with the watch app is causing me to use the app less and less, and pretty soon I’ll probably discontinue my paid subscription. It also should have better integration with popular tracking apps like Strava or MyFitnessPal. As of now it only links to RunKeeper, though those things can meet in the Apple Health app.

One of the best games I’ve ever played. I don’t know where to start. It is so immersive and feels so real. It’s cliche but I genuinely used to sit in my room almost al day and get no exercise, but this has helped me a lot. Within a month I went from doing almost nothing physical activity wise to now walking around 5 miles a day. And it’s not a chore. It is fun to do and I look forward to it. The missions are amazing, storyline is intriguing, and the interface is user friendly. You gather supplies and build up your base which really brings it all together. And it doesn’t use much battery at all opposed to other games that make you walk like Pokémon go and the walking dead game. The developers and people involved did an amazing job and they seem to always be improving and adding more to the game.

Love this app!!. I haven’t ran in over 10 years and I’ve had 2 kids. I thought I would die if I ran now because my energy and activity level was pretty much 0. I started with the 5k training and I wasn’t even able to finish the 15 second runs in the beginning. Now here I am 6 months later and I love the motivation it gives me to keep going. There are some glitches here and there but totally worth the $35 a year!! I have cut almost 20 minutes off of my 4 mile run! I have been sharing on my Facebook and trying to get my friends to do it with me. None yet, but my friends also help keep me motivated by cheering me on. There is also a base and you gather supplies as you run to use in your base later. There are so many things that get you with the reward center of your brain that it’s easy to find motivation. It also kind of relates to our current global situation! Bonus motivation! The best part, if you don’t want to run, you can just walk, until zombies chase you. Definitely recommend for any fitness level!!

Fantastic App. Ive never enjoyed an app on the App Store this much before so this is my first EVER review (that should say something about how good this is) this app keeps my time, pace, steps, calories burned, and honestly what keeps me coming back EVERY DAY is the STORY!!! Sometimes it’s a little odd but it’s really immersive for me and the zombie chases are honestly scary as hell. + you can collect supplies for upgrading Abel Township—and anybody who’s every played an MMORPG can tell you how addicting steadily rising numbers are, lol😂. This encourages you to run and I also recommend “Zombies, Run! 5k” you should start with that app if you have no prior running experience, and train yourself up to that point. Totally worth the small monthly/yearly subscription fee if you want a few extra perks.

Sad to see this happen. It really pains me to write this but I just had to add my voice to the other recent reviews. Since switching to ZRX, the app has gone from one of my favorite fitness apps to unusable and not with the effort to work through. I’ve been a VIP subscriber for years but at this point, I’m not going to renew my subscription unless the app is drastically fixed. Since the switch to ZRX, the app has trouble loading at all and often hangs at start-up. Even when I do get the app working, I’m not a fan of the new interface. I was never interested in Marvel Move and suddenly I feel like I had to go digging to pick up my ZR storyline. There are even small nuisances like music now stopping when you end a mission that just irritate me enough to miss the good old days with ZR. It’s really sad to see this happen to one of my favorite apps. I’ll still fondly remember all the runs I did with Sam and the crew at Able Township.

Best intro to running app imo. ZR5K is freaking awesome! As a new runner several months ago I tried various apps and programs to gradually get me running more and more. Most of them were too advanced even for a noob and I couldn’t keep up. But ZR was gradual enough and the story fun enough that I was hooked and actually enjoyed my runs because I wasn’t about to die or injure myself. I stuck to the schedule and had to keep myself from running too much because I enjoyed the runs, and this was during the summer in 90+ degrees and I’ve always hated running. Now I use the regular app but I suggest to everyone I run into that wants to start running to look into this app. I’ve also had issues attaching the app to my Apple Watch so I have heart rate data but I learned to simply put my phone on me for music and the story and simply run with Strava on to follow and for HR.

Zombies.... YES!. 2020: a few years later I’m still having fun with this app... A lot more outdoor walking these days and it’s fun to send my son a map and share my walk. Get this app !! So I mostly walk with this on the treadmill and elliptical machines. Still fun. I even got a coworker to buy this and start walking by telling him about a reference to "Red Dwarf" in the 1st season :) I recommend Zombies, Run to anyone who wants some humor with there music during there workout. And then you get to decide what to do with Able Township. My only complaint would be that occasionally my music doesn't load and there is dead silence or the other way around where it just plays the music and doesn't give me the storyline. All in all? I want season 3!

First Time User Impressions. Note: this isn’t a game to score points, you can leave your iPhone on a table and the story will still progress. Voice actors aren't terribly realistic; under tense moments they still sound like their privately and quietly recording the dialogue. Like it’s a bedtime story.,Having only finished mission one I don't know what happens when you've completed all missions as a free user, I guess I can continue to do the unlimited side missions. I've yet to see how to implement what I've picked up into my town so I wish the overall instructions were more clear. BITTOM LINE: This is just an app that plays a radio drama about a zombie apocalypse while you work out. You can’t lose the game, you were not competing against anyone else, you can’t get more points than someone else for the same mission, you don’t have to run when the story tells you to run in, you literally don’t have to do anything different than if you weren’t listening to the app at all. It is merely audio entertainment while you walk, jog, run heck, even drive!

Love it!! Would Recommend. I can't believe there aren't more reviews for this app - it's fantastic! It's the one thing that's kept me running and exercising through the winter and beyond. The writing is fantastic, the storyline is great, I love being able to build my own little base, and I constantly can't wait to see what happens in the next mission. I've gone from 220lbs with no running experience to 180lbs and almost making a half-marathon, in less than 5 months! And I'm not even in it for the weight loss anymore - I'm in it for the story! The company is fantastic, too - always looking to see what their fans have to say, and doing their best to use that input to make this game even better. They always seem to be striving to make it open to everyone, too - it doesn't matter what kind of runner you are, or what shape you're in, anyone can play this game. Tl;dr It's a great app made by a great company and if you're thinking about giving it a try, I'd definitely recommend it!

Like an interactive radio drama. When I first heard the premise of this app, you run and it sounds like zombies chase you, I thought it was going to be dumb. Then I finally tried it, and I couldn’t have been more wrong. You actually are immersed in a story and you are a central character. And, sometimes, zombies chase you! When I was a kid, I used to listen to radio dramas as I went to bed. These stories remind me of those dramas. The stories are great. You get attached to characters, and, occasionally, you get your heart broken. I find myself running longer, because I want to get to the end of a mission. Tip: if you are on a treadmill, turn off the zombie chases, because it will be hard to change your speed to get away.

Eh. I’ve been supporting this app since a month or so after its release. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but I remember getting rid of it on my old phone because I needed space. Back from my old phone, this app had an interesting twist for a running app, immersive story, unique characters, and a cool book. (I really recommend the book.) But coming back now? What the hell happened? Look, I’ll cut to the chase here, I’m a student. I can’t afford to pay for a monthly or yearly subscription for content that should be accessible for free. The radio station for example, used to be free. Now I have to pay for it? I have to pay to see my own statistics? That’s a foul move. I understand that having a free app needs to have some sort of way to make money, but this is really a slap to the face to those that supported this app from the very beginning, and to those who really can’t afford to spend four dollars a month.

Problems with the new app changes. I usually don’t write reviews but with all the problems the app is having at the moment I decided to write this. It’s been taking a long time to start up, crashing, zombie chases glitching out and tracking has been off both on screen and with the audio. Also when the chase audio plays and you hear the zombies, normally the audio would play and warn you about the incoming zombies. During this and the 20, 50 meter warnings the audio would muffle your music. Now it’s just completely muffles the music even when no audio is playing and zombie chase are 100 meters with tracking not working correctly so I’m sprinting far more then I’m supposed to. Zombie noises would never muffle the music. They would slowly increase in audio as you got closer to them without the muffling. I’ve been using the app since 2015 when I was in middle school running track and cross and never once ran into a problem. Now with the app change it’s been doing all of this and making it impossible to use the app to train. Please I hope this gets fixed because I don’t want to stop using this app because of all the sudden problems. (Once the issues have been fixed I’ll switch the rating to a 5 because other than the problems it’s having the app is super good. Just that the problem make it practically unusable for some who’s been using it for years.)

The best app on my phone.. This is the coolest app ever! Ive been using it for about a month or so and it’s been so much fun! When i hear “zombies detected” i run for my life and it feels so freaking good learning what I’m capable of - that my limits are a lot further than i thought they were. I haven’t experienced any of the negative things others on here have. Maybe I’m just lucky, maybe they’re doing something wrong, i don’t know. I’ve been using it for over a month now and i have yet to experience a single bug. The acting is very good imho. I’ve heard a whole lot worse. And while the plot isn’t groundbreaking or realistic - it’s a story about zombies. How “realistic” do you expect it to be? Lol. Overall it’s a lot of fun and i had no problem paying the 36 bucks for a yearly subscription - and I’m a big cheapo. I don’t pay for apps. Lol.

I want to love this app but...... I have ran a few times with this app and I love the immersive story line and the zombie chases but that’s were the fun stops. I’ve ran outside with it and it seemed to connect with my watch just fine. But the other times I have ran in the gym it won’t connect to my Apple Watch 3. Also it seems almost after every transmission it won’t go back to playing my music. I after to stop running and either pause the run a couple of times to get it to play or advance the song a couple of times to get it playing again. Also I have noticed that when I am at a jog and am getting chased by zombies I can’t get away even when I’m almost at a dead sprint....which seems crazy when your at 5 miles or more and are having to sprint to escape....but I can’t escape and end up having supplies dropped to escape!! I got this app years ago when it first dropped and came back to it....it seems really buggy now and also like the developers aren’t putting the time in it to fix the bugs....I am will to pay for the subscription but not with these kinda bugs.....I did order the book and am looking at doing the virtual race....so hoping they get these bugs worked out!!!!

This app is getting me through the apocalypse. I truly, utterly, deeply adore this app. I’m not a natural runner or fitness person; I’m a bit overweight and generally kinda lazy. But boy does this app get me off the couch! I regularly run 3-4 times a week now due to this app (which I’ve had since 2012 but only occasionally used until August 2019). I’m now midway Season 2 and omg the story is fantastic; the characters and the actors who play them really make you like you are in this game. A really fantastic new addition is the at home workouts, which I do every other day right now when I’m not hitting the pavement. I highly recommend this app if you want to maintain your fitness goals and keep listening to riveting content. What a great team behind this app. Thank you so much ❤️. Runner 5 out.

Got me exercising. Years ago I saw someone talk about this on Tumblr. My parents always got on to me about not exercising during summer breaks and I thought this would get them off my backs. It did—and more! Years later, I can run 10ks. I regularly run five miles, each under ten minutes, without slowing down. This year it kept me moving even in the middle of a pandemic with the Home Front, and my arms look better than ever before! I can plank for a while minute! Even on days I don’t feel like exercising, the story and characters always come back for more. The other features—virtual 5ks, e-mails from the characters, earning enough supplies to finally upgrade that big building—are icing on the cake. I love Zombies Run. I recommend it to all my real life friends, and I would recommend it to whoever reads this review too! Zombies Run inspires me to stay active and strive to learn more and run better all the time. It was well worth the original download price all those years ago, and it’s well worth the VIP price now. Thanks, Zombies Run!

I used to HATE running!. I used to absolutely hate running. I was trying to get better at running and I was just not very motivated. When I found this amazing app, it helped me get exited to go for runs every day knowing that there was a new mission waiting for me. I highly recommend this app for new and advanced runners. Their are so many different amazing features to help to help you meet your goals and track your progress. One of my favorite feature is the mapping feature where it color coordinates your speed on a map so you can see when you slowed down or sped up. This app has motivated me to push myself to go run 5Ks with the awesome race mode. They have 5Ks, 10Ks, and 20Ks. If you want to get into running or have fun adventures while tracking your progress and pushing yourself, this is the perfect app for you!!

Worth every penny. This is an AMAZING app!!! Interesting story, heart-pounding zombie chases, sports bras, side-missions, this app has it all. And I'm not even into zombies otherwise! There is something so inspiring about going on missions for Abel Township with Sam or others in your ear all the way. I've always been on the imaginative side, so to immerse myself in this world and run like my life depends on it is awesome. I have encountered no bugs in six months of use. The app has season upon season of main story, with more on the way, plus side missions such as interval training, airdrop, and supply runs. Then there are six super awesome race missions for 5k, 10k, and 20k. When I purchased the year subscription for the pro version, I thought the price was very steep for an app. But the motivating story, number of interesting voice-acted characters, and diversity of easy-to-use features make it my favorite purchase of the year. The developers do a great job of improving and adding to the app on a regular basis. They are always working on new seasons, and I feel my money helps make that happen!

This app has changed my life!. I was a confirmed smoker of 20 years who had given up on trying to quit. I never EVER would have thought I would be a runner someday. But about two months ago, I found Zombies, Run! Now, I’m proud to say that I’m almost two months smoke-free, and I’ve dropped about ten pounds! My older two kids (10 and 8 years old, and usually glued to some screen or another all day) actually put down their devices and started joining me. Now all of three of us run pretty much every day, and they are helping me train for the virtual 5k race coming up in about a month! This app makes running really fun! If you’ve tried running before but can’t seem to stay motivated, nothing is quite as motivating as NOT being eaten by zombies! The story is well-written and engaging, the voice talent is superb, and the technical aspects of the app are very sleek and well-designed. I really can’t say enough great things about this app!

Come for the workout- stay for the story line. This running app has gotten me through more tough runs and long weeks than I can tell you. I wanted a fun way to start back to running - and now I am fully hooked. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a little motivation to get after their next run. I thought the whole being chased by zombies thing would help me finish a run faster- and it does. However, what surprised me most is the quality of the acting and writing in this app- it is excellent. The story is immersive- and before you know it, you will want to get your next run in just to see what happens next! The run logs -stats tracking and base building - as well as the ability to set an air drop goal and run to a specific location are all great as well. I am about a year in and still completely loving the app. Happy Running all!

Zombies Hate Fast Food. Truly my favorite app! I’ve lost 30 lbs and gotten into the best shape of my life with the help of Zombies, Run. It honestly makes running so fun! I used to dread the idea of running and never thought I could do it- but Zombies, Run has made it so that I look forward to going on a run! I gotta collect supplies and know what happens next! There are a couple things I would change- I wish I could switch to radio mode in the middle of a run. Sometimes I want to do 2 or 3 missions in a row, then switch to radio mode. You have to totally stop your run in order to make that switch. A little annoying, but minor. I also wish the zombie chases were more consistent with the settings I’ve chosen. If you have the chases turned off for a while, the app seems to want to “catch up” by giving you WAY MORE CHASES than what you have it set for. Still a 5 star app, though!

Was 5/5 before rebranding…. Now it’s 3/5. I’m sure I’ll get used to the layout changes, and I’m sure the bugs will be fixed with time, but it really is unfortunate that they had to rebrand the entire app for a Marvel partnership. I was under the impression that Marvel Move would be its own app, and I would have MUCH preferred that. Instead, I can’t access my race missions without losing my progress each time, can’t do interval training mode, and can’t do hardly ANYTHING without the app crashing. All for a tie-in with a media franchise I care nothing about that costs extra to even have access to. EDIT: Removed a star. I spent so long fighting with radio mode trying to make it play me the episode I’m actually on instead of a random one I’ve already listened to that I literally ran out of time to work out this morning. This app has gone from motivating me to work out to keeping me from working out. EDIT 2: Removed another star. Audio is straight up not playing for me now. The bugs seem to be getting worse instead of better. This is really disappointing… I used to love this app.

Perfect to Game-ify Your Run. If you’re like me, you’re looking into this app because you have trouble just going out and *running*, even with your favorite music/podcast loaded up. If that’s true for you, I have great news: Zombies, Run is probably what you’re looking for. It’s equal parts cheesy and motivating, with narrative that pops in enough to keep you grounded in your Mission, but stays silent enough that you can enjoy your music and “Zone In” to your run a bit. I haven’t encountered a bug or hitch that would cause me to give this app anything but five stars - I look forward to my runs just enough to keep me going, and asking for more would be greedy. Give this app a shot if you’re looking to trick your brain into some positive feedback related to running, and you just might surprise yourself!

Extremely Motivational. Two years this app has been a part of my exercise, and it has continued to be an amazing experience. You know when you look back at your college years or something similar and think of all the great times you’ve had? I do that constantly with this app. I think back to oh yeah I was running past a lighthouse during that scene. Or yeah I totally flipped off an imaginary helicopter and ran the farthest and fastest I ever had before in a desperate imaginary race to save an imaginary character. The voice acting and writing is phenomenal. The immersion is incredible if you let yourself really get drawn in. I am on Season 6, but Season 1 sound when I started was lower budget but then Season 2 BOOM you can tell they got money and put it to good use. My head is always on a swivel due to the incredible sound manipulation that makes me want to look in the direction of the narrated action and I find myself barking with laughter or crying out with shock at a plot twist. This app is the only reason I run. Dead slow pro 12 minute mile pace is my avg across all the runs I have done, but I feel like I rule those runs as Runner 5 and I am always motivated to make it to the end as strong as I can be especially when being told to pick up the pace or just simply RUN!

I can’t run, but I can ride!. I am not a runner. I have a bad back, and bad knees, however I just got a recumbent bike and it has been amazing! I wanted to find a way to track my rides and I remembered a friend had mentioned this app awhile ago. I had actually downloaded it and used it to try and run once or twice but was miserable. When I got my bike I decided to see if it would still work and to my absolute delight it did!!! I live in a gated community that is just one block of houses basically a big square. I hop on my bike, turn on the zombies and Boom, I’m riding as fast as I can to escape! I love the story and get a little thrill every time my music lowers and the story starts. I I also love the radio station, it feels so real! Thank you so much for making this app! I went from barely doing anything to riding 10 miles a day!!!

A fun way to distract yourself while running. This game helps take my mind off the moving of my legs and the misery that is exercise. With the help of this app I've been able to keep an interest in running 6 days a week for over 2 months now, having previously participated in no exercise for easily 6-8 months. When I first downloaded this app in 2014 it only had the capability to play music on your device. Now that I've resumed playing I would just like to express how much I enjoy being able to stream music through pandora while I run- it really makes a difference in a great way. All in all, great game, and I can't wait to keep playing.

GET THIS NOW!!. This is hands down the best app I've ever downloaded! I really struggle with staying motivated to run, or even to keep running when I finally do. It gets boring just running for what feels like no reason. But this app is the absolute best! I've started going on runs even when I don't have to, because I love the stories!! I feel so immersed in the story! I've had to look behind me a few times just to make sure there weren't actually zombies... I love that there's side missions you can do as well, like supply runs. That way, if I want to take a break from the main story, I can! For FREE!!! How many running apps can you say are beneficial for no money?! And there's even special features if you want to subscribe! Personally, I'm on the free version, but it is just as good, if not better! I really enjoy this app, and will most definitely be using it for a long long while! And I'm buying a waterbottle and a phone case to go with!

Great for anyone who walks runs etc. Discovered this and tried it as i have been walking a lot. This is such a unique app that you have to try if you like to enhance your walking running experience. You simple listen to your favorite music and the app makes you part of this story and you enjoy your runs even more as your part of an adventure all while your music is still playing. Truly has enhanced my walking experience and has keep me on track as i make sure i dont miss a day as i want to get on with the next mission. And even though you may complete a chapter you can keep going and so does radio Abel just brilliant. Best of all you dont do anything but run or walk. Watch out for zombies. Stay safe out there .....

Thank you for changing who I was running from.. I downloaded ZR in 2012 after hearing an interview on NPR with Naomi Alderman. It sounded like a fun way to get exercise, which was exactly what I felt like I needed at the time. I had just graduated from college, and was broke, jobless, and severely depressed. At first running was just a way to get out of my head, but at some point in the next few months, it turned into something important and meaningful. I was running because I wanted to learn more about the residents of Abel Township, I wanted to hear Jack and Eugene bicker and flirt with each other, and I wanted to collect bras and water bottles to support a fictional community that sometimes felt more real than my own. An activity that had in the past served as a kind of self-punishment became an activity that brought me closer to my values. It made me feel fulfilled and accomplished. I can’t count the number of times this story has made me laugh, and how many times it has brought me to tears. Since 2012, I’ve run hundreds of miles. With the virtual races, I’ve pushed myself beyond anything I ever thought I was capable of. But I no longer do it to become more fit, or even to feel less depressed (although both of those things did happen). I did it - and still do it - because it’s truly fun. Thank you.

Marvel Move is the BEST!. Marvel Move is seriously such a cool way to train. I’m nearly through my first 5K training and it’s been so motivating to return each week for the runs. The stories are fun and have a lot of depth. I can tell the writers did their homework on the characters, locations and stories. I’m an avid comic reader & MCU watcher, so coming home with fun tidbits of supplementary info (that I pretend is happening in another multiverse) has been so fun. The voice actors do a great job at showing emotion and they work the training into the stories so well. I’ve seen fast improvement in my run time and cardio fitness and I plan to continue for as long as they provide it! I also love that they brought Kamala Khan, Photon & Captain Marvel into the mix. That’ll be the challenge I do next! Thank you for offering this. It’s been money well spent and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve never looked forward to my runs the way I do now.

Will get you started…. I tested it out for free for a month and liked it enough to subscribe for 3 years. The storyline was successful in getting me out and running early on, and it encouraged me to stretch my runs from 2 miles to 3 miles, 2 to 3 days per week. But I really didn’t improve my time or fitness. I augmented this last year with a Garmin watch and the connect app. That really has helped improve my fitness way more than sporadic zombie chases. I let my subscription lapse this year for 3 major reasons: 1) The app has been upgraded to allow marvel runs, and a bunch of old features broke or were removed. Main storyline is there, but missions don’t download automatically, no interval training or airdrop, and new features are behind a second pay wall. 2) I got tired of the LGBTQ+ storylines. It felt I was getting more sexual drama than zombie action. I really don’t need that when I’m running. I want action! 3) I needed to augment my runs with the Garmin training program to see significant physical improvements. This will record your runs, but it isn’t a very good virtual trainer. I’ll still take advantage of my free weekly mission on my easy run day, but I’ll go back to music and podcasts for background engagement during most runs.

Very Motivational!. I never write reviews, in fact this is my first one, but this app deserves one. I have the free version and even without buying the extension there is so much content! The 9 seasons of just the zombie apocalypse is enough to keep me busy for up to a year easily. Once I finish those, I’m most likely going to buy the premium as well because it is so worth it. The sound is so real, with headphones it bounces around your head like real life. I love that I can play my own music in the background and it will transition from story to music so smoothly, really makes it feel like a movie. For people who love dystopian and apocalyptic vibes, this is perfect. I hate cardio, but this app has provided so much motivation for me to keep running to hear the story and feel so immersed. I have a small issue I’m finding though, if I don’t finish my run (like today, I had to cut it 3 minutes short) it doesn’t seem to save my progress on that mission and I have to start over or go to the next mission without finishing the previous one. Maybe this is operator error, if not this would be awesome to fix. Overall amazing!

It’s decent, but the story leaves a lot to be desired.. I tried really hard to like this app, I thought it would be the one thing to make going on walks actually enjoyable. Unfortunately as the story progresses you quickly realize that, although the story is supposed to involve you personally as the main character, I find myself constantly frustrated by the fact that I have no agency or control. You know if a character is going to betray you almost immediately upon meeting them, and yet the other characters are so blind that the events of the story just seem like everyone is bumbling along and things just somehow work out. Not only that, but they try to incorporate ‘you’ in the story more and more often, and more often then not instead of ever fighting back ‘5’ just rolls over and lets things happen while I shout from the back row to just punch someone in the mouth already and get things moving.

Having too much fun to remember I’m working out. When working out becomes more like tuning in to your fav TV show you know you are on to a winner. In this case, not only do you need to know “what happens next”, but you double up as the lead character too! I love that you can listen to your own playlist, and vary between having zombie chases on or off, depending on whether I’m walking the kids to the park or going for my own challenge that day.. can’t recommend this and the zombies C25K apps enough!!

Don’t get Version 12. Do not download/update to version 12! If you’re lucky you’ll get an app full of glitches and with some features removed but if you’re unlucky then you’ll have an app that completely fails to work and crashes whenever you try to do something. Why on earth has Six To Start removed important features even though, they claim, they’ll be bringing them back soon?

Love it. Love the concept; I’m not into fitness (or zombies for that matter) but this is really motivating. I just wish that I could navigate around the app during a mission; for example, to download the next mission on long walks because they don’t auto play if they’re not downloaded (this would be good too).

Essentially a video game but real life. What a great idea for an app! It’s fun, engaging and the zombie chase feature makes you pick up the pace when you otherwise wouldn’t. This is the only way I run now.

Even the family loves it. So I’m young and don’t like to play competitive sport so I thought I would take up running and found this fun app. I have a sister and she likes to walk the dog with me. So whilst walking I turn up the volume, and I explain to her what we have to do. The audio starts and I begin walking. As I keep my pace the “Siri” voice warns me that there are a bunch zombies behind me! I say to her “you need to run”. Now...my sister is walking one of our dogs and I’m walking the other. The dog I’m walking gets excited when I begin to run because it thinks we are going to chase a scent! The dog my sister is walking is a bit chubby...so she had to go a bit slower and she thought the zombies were actually going to catch her (I outran them) The zombie noises add to that fun and the creepiness that I love in these types of audio-adventures! My sister now asks me to play the episode I’m up too so she can listen to the fun and well detailed stories, collect fun items as we walk around the streets of our local town and to outrun those scary zombies! I thank the developers of this game for all working on this amazing app, it takes a lot of work to pull off something this FANTASTIC!! So I applaud you and ask that you continue developing this game as the #1 Best Fitness App... OF ALL TIME! |G.E.Davidson|

Doesn’t work with Apple Watch. When you go for runs, it’s very annoying having to carry your phone with you. Why can’t the app work on Apple Watch? What the point of downloading it your watch if it doesn’t work without your phone being in Bluetooth range? People don’t like running carrying their phones.

Great concept, awful app!. No, awesome concept, one that really has motivated me to run, something that I really despise doing. As a result I would be happy to upgrade but the fact that the app is nothing short of an eyesore is preventing me from doing so. The UI looks worse than my daughters bedroom, with as much stuff crammed in as humanly possible. I refuse to pay to support this kind of app development. Once it is fixed I’ll be there like a shot!

Very very good ... but not perfect. Amazing app if your looking to get fitter or just something to help motivate you to exercise ... I’ve used it for a week straight doing 3 one hour missions everyday and so far it’s great ... I even upgraded to pro just to unlock more missions it’s that good :) one of the problems is sometimes (mainly mission 3) it does not record your distance travelled properly .... I have tried the mission 3 times and it only seems to start counting my distance 30 mins into a one hour walk . Other then that I’m a very happy customer and your app is really helping me get fit again ... thanks

Terrible script - my music was way more entertaining. I really wanted to love this and based on the reviews was excited to try it. Initially, it was ok; characters were a bit boring but not too intrusive and I enjoyed collecting supplies and building the base. By the end of season 1 though I was well and truly over it. It got to the point where I just wanted to mute the storyline and only gather supplies as the pointless chatter, unfunny jokes and annoying characters were ruining my music. I have to deal with enough annoying idiots at work so don’t need them running with me too. Maxine especially did my head in and the only thing that kept me running and listening to this game was the hope that maybe she’d get eaten by a zombie. Alas, she was still alive at the end of season 1 and still moaning about Paula in that annoying drawl of a voice. Disappointed I spent money on this but even more disappointed that this app was such a massive let down.

Gee it’s great.. Definitely worth getting. For a free fitness app, this is as good as it gets and I think it even tops the paid ones. It’s like watching your favourite episode on itv, where you cannot wait to see what happens next. Except Zombies Run! is the low calorie, heart rate increasing, adrenalin peaking, productive version. Cannot not recommend it more!!! Start running from your zoms as soon as you can.

The best. I’ve tried lots of running apps and this is by far the best as they give you prompts to go faster if you need to. Would definitely recommend this to anyone

Very grateful for helping me get back into running. It’s a very interesting way to gamify the process of getting in shape and motivate people to run. I find this extremely helpful in terms of making me focus and develop my running skills.

Great game. Fantastic game, it’s motivated me to walk (not run) farther and faster than ever before! Loving the storyline and missions, and how I can customise it to my capabilities and preferences. Suggestion for improvement would be making the base more relevant to the actual missions in game. Or turn it into a mini game in itself. Feels quite pointless otherwise.

I'm now a runner. Just a short review to say that a friend recommended this to me when I said "I might take up jogging." I was soon thereafter hooked. Within 6 months I was signing up to fun runs. I'll never be a serious runner, I'll never win races, but with Zombies Run I'll always enjoy my morning jogs.

Lots of Fun!. This app is such good motivation to start running. I’m a newbie and Zombies, Run! has been a huge help in making me want to run because I want to hear what happens next in the story! Very cool how you pick up supplies through your run that you can then use on your township as well!

Not syncing anymore. Since you changed to ZRX, none of my runs sync…when I start a race the music will play but I’ll no longer get the story. Pretty unhappy:(

A nice change. I have really enjoyed listening to the story. A nice change from just running to my music. The problem I’ve found is the chase sequences hardly works and then then you get maybe three chases one right after the other. I have emailed them numerous times about the fault and although they have corresponded with me. The fault had never been fixed. A great app that gets its rating lowered by a glitch.

Watch accessibility. It would be really good to be able to use the app through my Apple Watch without having to take my phone with me - the less stuff I have to carry on a run, the better.

Iwatch issues. Love the app just had issues with iwatch so had to remove app from iwatch as it never ran smoothly and I could never end my run on the watch.. app on iwatch kept continuously opening and starting a run even when I had stoped it on my phone and exited out of the app on my watch

Never A Dull Moment!!. I’d been looking for an app that I could use when walking the dog and stumbled across this. I absolutely love it, the story keeps you wanting to walk just to find out what happens next and I’m only up to season 3!!!

Best Running Ap EVER. This is the best running ap ever. It does everything I need in a fitness ap. But there’s so much more, a cracking story, great characters, great acting and Red Dwarf references. What’s not to like. I’m just disappointed I didn’t find it sooner. I love it.

disappointing customer support. Bought the original version, returned after a few years happy to read that I am able to get access to the original content still. however, for unknown reasons my app won’t provide access. Support didn’t seem to care and just blamed apple, which is a bit hard to swallow considering everything is linked to their own account system. Considering the response was essentially a shrug, I am not confident in paying them an ongoing subscription for content i had already bought let alone new stuff.

AMAZING: Running hater to lover. I absolutely hate running without a doubt. But this game makes it soo fun!! I’m so excited for when I get to go on a run again because I’m so excited to listen to the next mission! It’s really drawn me in and I’m so happy about it because I need to exercise and this has made it so much fun!!

So motivating. This is app is amazing. It took me a while to get into it but I’m addicted to it now. I hated exercising and now I get excited to leave work so I can go for a run. The storyline really draws you in and each mission becomes more challenging. I would recommend this to anyone who struggles to exercise or just wants a bit of motivation to run

Such an awesome app, lucky to find it!. I love how much story is in this! I have completed about five episodes and took a look at how many other seasons there are. Seven (I think) seasons with who knows how many episodes! Man the work that went into this app. It is easy to use and really pushes you to run. I do think you guys could improve on the editing the Abel base thing though, it would be better to make it a bit more complex and should only be accessed at a certain time(s) in the story. Besides that this app is really compelling and completes more than its purpose, pushing me to get up in the morning and go for a run.

Buy it!. Paying for the full subscription is well worth it. I’ve been using this app for my physiotherapy, it’s fantastic because I can program the interval training so it means I don’t have to constantly look at my watch or count my runs, it does it all for you. The story missions are great fun as well as are all the other ways to use the app. It’s fairly easy to navigate and program, I’m pretty lazy (and old) when it comes to figuring out that like that and I found it easy to use. The voice acting is what it is, but the ‘quality’ of the acting lends to it, sort of like a silly cult movie. Building the base is the intrinsic reward you get and the regular updates and emails telling you how far you’ve come are inspiring. The best app I’ve ever paid for. Do it. Get out there.

Brilliant. Honestly want to say thankyou to the creators of this app. It’s the main thing keeping me sane during the Covid-19 lockdowns (and I guess it’s not too far of a jump to find similarities with the app story and todays situation). I’m not a runner but even transitioning from fast walk to a jog to a run is fun with the storyline. I now look forward to being able to run to earn supplies, build more of my base, and hear a story. Brilliant

Hands down the only reason I run. This app has been the number 1 motivator for me sticking to running! The training plans are great (and actually doable). I love how engaging (and inclusive) the story is. It’s one of the very, very few apps I’m willing to spend money to support. Whole-heartedly give it 5 stars!

Best fitness app of all time. I’ve never felt the need to write reviews for anything but this app is the most amazing thing that I have ever stumbled across, the app is so detailed so that even though I know it is fictional I still feel the need to fight (or in this case run) for able township and that is amazing. This game is so fun that I actually might go for runs just to hear the story of this masterpiece

Made me love jogging!. Each time I finish one episode (going on a run) I can’t wait to find out what happens next! Really engaging story lines and plot twists and without it I’d find jogging a real chore. It costs me $AU50/year and for what it’s meant for my health and fitness I reckon it’s been one of the best investments I could make! You can choose either the length of time or distance with each episode and you can either turn the zombie chases on if you want to do short sprints on your runs or switch them off and go at a steady pace…either way there will be a cracking story involving characters with a lot of heart. I’d encourage anyone to try this app if you also find running to be overwhelming or a bit of a bore. You can listen to it for free for the first few episodes (after which I believe you get one free episode per week) if you wanted to test the waters first. I’m not easily awed but I’d give this more than 5 stars if I could! If zombies aren’t your thing then just pretend you’re trying to dodge hordes of covid infected people instead and that should get the legs going :)

Motivation via Gamification. the stories are fantastic and well put together I would love to see the same photo feature that the 5k app has but it great motivation to go for a run to continue the story

Zombies Run gamifying exercise. I couldn’t run a full kilometre before Zombies Run. I wouldn’t even run for the bus if I was late. Now, I’ve completed multiple half marathons and slain countless undead. Love this app. Recommend a power metal soundtrack for ultimate, brutal, running adventures 🤟

Just one problem. I haven’t had the app for too long, but from what I know already it’s pretty good. It’s fun and it really motivates me to run. The only problem is that when I pause, the zombies still chase. I pause because I need a break and then I lose supplies because they catch me. Losing supplies makes me mad because I worked for those and I need them to build my town up. I have Athsma so I can’t run for too long. When the zombies are chasing I speed up, but I can’t go that far because I can’t breathe. When I pause I expect a break not a loss of well earned items.

I love this app.. I’ve been doing this for years. It’s a great idea and some great motivation to run a bit faster when you’re being chased. Worth every cent.

Lots of adventures. There’s lots of running adventures but I’d like to see a walking or speed walking adventure around the internal compound perimeter just for those days when you want to walk around the neighbourhood and listen to zombies run at the same time.

Major update with major problems. Start a workout then… nothing. Can’t end the workout - the stop button does nothing except stop the music. Have to hard quit the app before I can do anything in it again. At least selecting the season takes me to the right page now, rather than landing me on season 1. But the app is sadly totally unusable for me now.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah, zombies!. Good app and the didn’t even pester me for a rating like other apps, what else that is great is I can click the little thingy on my earbuds and it pauses my podcast and not the interlude

Gives me a reason to run. Really fun and interesting app, makes the normally tedious and boring run or dog walk fun and interesting. Only problem I can think of is that it only plays my music that I have paid for and not the music I have through Apple Music but I’m guessing I’m doing something wrong not the app.

Great app!!!. I don’t run often but when I do I always use this app like when I walk the dog I use this app and the way it feels like your in a video game and you have to randomly sprint to get away from zombies is so much fun! Would highly recommend if you want to get fit and have some fun!

Loving this app.. This has been quite helpful in my running motivation. I’m really enjoying looking after the base and people as the game goes and the running with the added sounds of zombies and doing supply runs. The story of the missions is going to be kind of what I expected as I play a lot of zombie games. That sad bit at the end of mission one almost got me as the voice acting was well done in that segment. I found this app a few years ago but I lost it to faint memory and came across it again recently due to my boss talking about running a lot. Thank you for this app, it is well done and it is motivating to people who are into zombie games and like to get lost in the ambience of the apocalypse. I couldn’t imagine running without it now and the added extra of listening to my own playlist and choosing zombie chases gives lots of freedom to run/walk how you like.

AMAZING!! Love it!!. Amazing motivation. Before getting the app I was dead after running 1.5km but first day I used the app I ran 4km without realising and I wasn't even tired. Would be cool if you could create a character and possibly use the clothes you collect to change their style.

My favourite fitness app. I’ve had zombies run for years now and have used it constantly. Such a great idea and keeps you keen to get your next run in to see how the story unfolds. If you like zombie and running, get it!

Got me off the couch. And I’m still running now, 3years later. I did the free version for a couple of months (which is just as fun) and then became a member (the only app out of about 50 where I am paying for something!). The support is also great, always get a quick reply.

One hell of a motivator. Been using this app for about 2 weeks now and have increased my runs from 2km to almost 8. It is something I look forwards to do once I finish work, the story and voice acting is a bit corny but I find myself wanting to find out more so I have to go for a run to do so. Recommend this one to anyone who are struggling for motivation or gets bored during exercises.

Fun App! Grr for Keeping NYE Goals. Have been using this app for a long time, it’s a great way to work on your fitness goals without feeling bored! The addition of advertising was a little annoying but the legacy subscription was worth the price, a good deal for all the content it offers. I find the outside run tracking is far better then the treadmill option but the developers seem to be trying to improve the gym option. Thanks to this apps help I will be trying the Zombie race/marathon special event and a regular marathon this year! I would love more special events like the zombie run/call of duty episodes, that was a lot of fun! Overall a great app that has been well developed over time and hopefully will continue to do so! Also check out their couch to 5k Zombie Run App if like me when you started your “Run” was more of shamble 😄😄

Got me running for the first time. This app is awesome for its scenarios and and tracking. You can collect items and artefacts and level up your base. One feature I would absolutely love, is to friend someone to see their progress; I could get my friends and family on this app and we could see each others progress!

I NEVER run. This has me enjoying running. It’s a bit corny, but it’s just the sort of thing to get me off my bum and doing something active. My own music with occasional voice over, and stats. Improvements come out regularly and Apple Watch integration for stats is nice too

Latest update is an insult. In an effort to get Zombies subscribers on to Marvel Move, the developers have foisted a new app on its paying customers that does not include any of the features we pay for. The watch app is gone, the personal statistics are gone and I couldn’t even get it to work for my run today from my phone. I am extremely disappointed with this and feel like I am paying for nothing. This is not a minimum viable product, it’s not even fit for Beta release. You need to make this right with your customers.

Great app but.... I love almost everything about it, I'm not a fan of political correctness in anything really and I'm super picky but this isn't forced down your throat every episode so even I am not that bothered by some part of it. Another issue to me and a bigger one at that, is the base building, it seems redundant, I am not attached to it at all, but I want to be, it could be a simple defense game with towers and tower shoot radius and build up population, 2-3 resources food water medicine etc, reports of you being attacked every night or two or three get some key leaders that you can put in charge to rebuild certain areas with your unspent resources or something Also, I don't know if this is already possible, but I want to be able to bookmark certain missions some were just awesome and my run was nuts! but I can't find it or remember where it was I hope these points are looked at by the people involved and that at least the base thing gets worked on before the bookmark, leave the pc if you have to, just fix the base building defense we dont want it too hard, but don't want it too easy either

Great App. As someone who has never been particularly fit or sporty this app has changed my attitude to exercise and, dare I say it, actually enjoy it. I love listening to the story as I run and collecting supplies to improve my base. Such an interesting hybrid of game, exercise app and audio book.

Integrity compromised since the change. Diehard runner 5 here who loved this app until about 3 weeks ago. It took me from 5 to 10 to 15 kms and now doesn't play continuously, crashes if you have the tracking on, you can't play music, tack and listen to the missions without stopping and restarting every few kilometres to name a few of the recent issues. Disappointing after being blow away with this app. If the bugs can be fixed, this is an amazing app. Currently, not worth the cost.

It makes you feel like you’re part of the story. It

Why did you change it ?. I have used this app for years ! It was amazing. Now with the new update there is no audio and no story, so I don’t see a point to using this app anymore, it’s just like another gps tracker instead of an adventure run motivator. Too bad as I have been recommending this app to all my running friends.

New App Doesn’t Work. I loved this app until the new update comes out. It no longer functions. The missions don’t play, when I “stop” my run, I just have to exit the app and it doesn’t get recorded. It’s just a big mess! Will no longer recommend to others and am looking for an alternative that actually works. Or, just go back to the old app that worked perfectly fine!

Love this app. I’ve been talking about this app to everyone!! I’ve had this app for many years and never used it because I couldn’t run. This past few months were another story. Gave myself a little push and started running. OMG!! I absolutely LOVE this app. The concept of being chased by zombies is amazing!! I’ve had quite my share of problems with it but the team behind it is still really active and they solved everything !! I’m so happy to have that kind of app that just motivates you to go for a run. Every night I just can’t wait for the next morning to go for my morning jog!!!

Markiplier. Mark likes it I’m here now it’s quite good 🪳

App now sucks. I’ve been using this app for over 7 years and it’s been great. Updated it and now content I already had access to I have to pay for including episodes I already had downloaded. Thanks for ruining this Marvel.

❤️❤️❤️🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️. I love this app SO much

Nice. I have like almost no complaints with this, I hate running but this makes me want to every time. The only thing is that running on a treadmill and having chases on doesn’t work at all for me.

👍👍👍. The zombie chases are really scary But app randomly stops

First impressions. This is my first run using this app (or any running app) and it was super fun! I’m new to running and it really made me push myself. It would be really cool if there was a way to play multiplayer with your jogging buddy as we would be stuck getting chased by zombies at different times, so I’d like to see that in a future update sometime!

Best way of encouraging runs. Slowly training up from 20 min to marathons, this app is great, the writing is phenomenal and the voice actors are fantastic! Worth getting and sticking to it!

Only way for me to run. Absolutely adore this app, been using it for about 3 years now and it’s stellar motivation to get up and run. 100% recommend

Unrelated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I am looking for Superhero Workout to update but can no longer find it listed. I have been using it for years and I LOVE it. PLEASE, PLEASE don’t stop updating. It is unique, fun and irreplaceable. I use Zombies Run also and love it too but Superhero Workout gives me an entirely different kind of exercise variation that is simply not the focus of Zombies Run. And I believe that many supporters of Sic to Start would be very sad if Superhero was no longer available. I for one would not object to a nominal monthly fee to keep it. Please consider updating. It would make many fans very happy. Thanks for your wonderful and one of a kind Apps. They have enhanced my fitness regimen in such a fun way.

Hard to integrate Apple Music and podcasts. It gets glitchy

Glitchy and no story. I subscribed to this app because I loved the stories and the zombie runs. It really helped me get out there and stay motivated. But now there is no story and it’s glitchy. I unsubscribed and won’t resubscribe unless the story is back. I am so disappointed.

Awesome !!. Got tired of normal rjnning apps so I decided to try this one and I am NOT DISAPPOINTED. A lot of options for the free version and not always annoying you to join their paid version. You can even BUILD YOUR TOWN and get TRAINING PLANS. I mean I can’t ask for more. Not only do you run but you feel like you’re part of the story which keeps you motivated. I can’t believe it’s not more popular!! I’ll keep using this app for a long time.

Paid version contains ads. I loved this program, until they added unskippable ads. I refuse to pay for something that forces me to listen to ads.

No stand alone watch app. I don’t want to carry my phone on runs so this app is useless.

Something else to focus on & intervals. I love zombie run as the story is something else to focus on in my run and it adds the intervals. Even when I’m exhausted when I’m zombie is on my tail I run faster Only issue I have is the distance does not sync correctly. I track my distance on my Apple Watch and run 5km the zombie run app shows I’m at 4km. So for every 5km that zombie run shows it’s actually actual 6km, as the app is behind by one km

Absolute Garbage. It’s a great idea, and the stories are great but the app is completely undesirable. Not a single run hasn’t crashed that I’ve been on. When I go for a run, I don’t expect to have to diagnose the app for 20 minutes. Garbage.

Omg. It’s sooo fun

Great for building a habit!. I didn’t want to run at first, but I wanted to follow the story. Before I knew it I wanted to run too!

I love this idea. I really like the stories I have just recently started using this app. I would really like to see it being used with the Apple Watch though so I don’t have to carry my phone when I’m on the treadmill. I would buy a subscription if I could have that option.

A Perfect Exercise App. This app is very fun I find myself having fun listening to the story and the missions You can do. Zombies are very cool this app is awesome. I get good exercise out of it thank you.

Doesn’t work. After the latest update episodes no longer play, and ironically the email support button is broken as well :( please fix this bug!

Instantly Obsessed. Seriously

Runner 5 forever. I was an early adopter of this app and I still adore it. The characters are like friends to me now. I’ve laughed and cried at their lives. We are all Runner 5

Best app in fitness. I’m a person with a lot of imagination, so when I run I imagine a scenario about why I’m running. Used to picture the zombie apocalypse and me out on supply runs. Turns out, there’s an app for that.

Wtff????. This app installed itself on my phone either yesterday or when I was asleep somehow, how tf is that even possible?

Wow. I love this. I hope there are a lot more missions, I’m only just on mission 3 but it helps me so much. I am able to push through goals every time. It is so unbelievably creative. Even the emailed letter. So adorable and well done. Thank you for this!!!

Addictive & satisfying. Finally my life has meaning! Compelling storytelling draws me in every time. I especially recommend this app to women - this zombie verse has everything we’d actually need in an apocalypse. I have used the for 6 years and I still look forward to every run. Brilliant.

Nice idea... but -. Did not execute very well at all using iPhone 7 and Watch 4. Had to stop several times during first run to restart. Could not get background music working. App went silent half way thru challenge. Actually ruined my run for the day.

I really like it!. I’ve never been very athletic and I’m trying to change that, this app is so motivating! It never tries to force you to speed up or punishes you for going slow, unless you set it to chase, which is great for me as I can’t run for too long and have to walk most of it. Basically it’s great for beginners and I imagine it’s good for more advanced runners as well!

Just my own music. I got this app because I was tired of listening to music and need something engaging and exciting to run to. This isn’t it. Each piece of the ‘mission’ is about a minute long and then it just runs through several of my songs before going on to the next minute. Potential to be great, but currently isn’t.

Not what it use to be... I have been a Runner 5 for the last 9 years and the new version of the app (September 2023) is riddle with bugs: It’s really slow to open, like slooooooww I use my Apple Watch when I run/walk and every time I have a message for each km done, the app cut the sound to my AirPod and use the IPhone’s During the pauses in the mission, when the mission start again the music continue in the background. Etc.. I think this is the last year I subscribed to it, I so frustrated because of all this

Question. Not a review, but a question.. Will the app work if I use a stationary bike?

It’s ok.... Pros: Interesting stories and concepts. Cons: no heart rate info on the watch app, no cadence, and real time pace info is way off (it can fluctuate from 5 to 10 min / km in seconds). If you just want to add some fun to your run, try it. If not, you are better off with free ones Nike Run Club.

Be great if I could, yenno, use it :(. I downloaded this app on my phone. When I click the app icon, it opens a load screen then quickly crashes. I tried on my Apple Watch. It just says Connecting ensure your phone is in range and “Buetooth” is enabled.

Very glitchy. As others have mentioned, the new version is very glitchy. I had to restart a mission five times before I could get the whole thing to finish. Really takes the enjoyment out of it.

Updates improved. I downloaded this apple a couple of years ago and I am fairly impressed on how much this app is updated. There are a lot of stories to follow along and I think that this app will help you push you to your own limit. I usually get bored running but this is a fun way to be motivated. I haven’t tried it out yet but I’m very excited to see how this works out.

The only reason this asthmatic florist can make the bus. Running late has become a much more successful venture. (In honesty I love this app- the story is so incredible. Even if I do look weird crying and running the few times it’s happened.)

Really enjoying!. I’m having a blast with this app so far. Thank you so much!

Just great. I had an issue with a bug and was feeling a bit frustrated. I emailed the customer support and it’s the only time I’ve walked away from an email exchange with a smile on my face! This is a good company, filled with good people doing good things :) thanks for the content broskis, my calves never looked better!

Comforting and helpful. I’ve never been a person who works out and first got the couch to 5k version of this app years ago. I got the annual subscription and would have phases of using it and not, but never got through the whole process. I did enjoy every time I went back though so stayed subscribed. This year I finally kept with it and finished the 5k trainer as well as season 1 and most of season 2. I love all of the little details and stories. I have laughed and cried on my runs and it’s such a lovely way to stay engaged and feel connected. I feel stronger than I ever have physically and it’s thanks to this app 😁

New version is very buggy. To begin, I am a long time user of Zombie’s Run. I love the special content with characters that get you very drawn in to the story, and make going for a run an absolute joy. However, the new version is buggy as all hell. I cannot get audio to play, at all. It says it’s playing, but nothing happens except the gps tracking and the timer. When I try to quit out of the run, it hangs. And everything in the app now is very very slow. Syncing takes forever, if it succeeds at all. The able township screen lags and is choppy. I’m on an iPhone 13, not some 5 year old phone. Plus, they cut out a lot of content in this version, like intervals. It breaks my heart, but until (if?) they bring the app back up to production quality, I can no longer recommend it.

I like this app, but…. So it’s pretty good, except I need to update and sign in EVERY time I open this app. It’s really annoying, especially when I forget and am about to set off, but oh no now I need to update the app and log in again, usually takes like five minutes. Really, really annoying and kills my motivation.

IN LOVE!!!. I HATE cardio and never, ever thought I would be into jogging/running - generally I prefer weight training any day - but this app is SO COOL. I’m zombie obsessed and my interest in wanting to continue the story 100% motivates me to get off my couch and put in the 20ish minutes a day. I’m gonna buy the premium version ASAP to unlock all the features.

August 16, 2022. Deleted App Can no longer use 1. Signed me up repeatedly 2. Won’t sync 3. Deleted All of The “episodes” I had downloaded The biggest of them all 4. No Longer Works OFFLINE All of these on their own would be ok But Not All Together Was nice while it lasted. Sucks as I have half a year left on my subscription. Oh well live and lean. It’s ok Would give it 5 stars if it Didn’t SIGN Me OuT!!! I Hate it when apps just randomly sign you out. (Feb 14/21) (Apr 12/21)

Disappointment.. One of the best running apps with a great storyline. Unfortunately, since the last update, it seems that I have to reinstall the app and lose my data from several years of running. I have sent an email to the support team, but I still haven't received a response.

A Zombie Fitness App for Feels. I was just expecting a regular zombie app that would spawn zombie hordes to run away from but I got something so much better! Zombies, Run! immediately pulls you into the story. After surviving a helicopter crash caused by a rocket launcher you take on the role of Runner 5 in Able Township, one of the few human settlements thriving in the wake of a zombie apocalypse. I don’t want to spoil everything but you get an amazing story, an interesting cast of characters, 300+ running missions and the occasional Red Dwarf reference. I love playing through this! It’s made my nighttime runs so much more fun.

Very fun app!!. A great app that makes me look forward to the next run after I finish! It has a very creative story and unique loot pickup system that helps you in building and providing for the survivors in your base and keeps you engaged! I haven’t encountered any bugs and the menu is easy to use after a few minutes of browsing. Story is fun and the random chase encounters always ensures that the next run isn’t like the last! So many story missions to play, and with word that the developers are continuing to make more missions and seasons ensures that this app will never get repetitive or boring! Keep it up!

Still the best running app ever. Those of you who adore running should just try this for the excellent story line ( even more fun on a night run or at dusk). Where this app (and its 5k training partner zr5k) really shine is helping the reluctant runner , the “I hate running” runner ... the “I wish I could be a runner”... the story line is engaging and distracting and makes you want to do just a little but more - the 5k trainer has been invaluable in helping me come back after an injury - can’t say enough good things about this - and since I’m writing this review during the Covid crisis - well its easier than ever to get into the story line.

The best.. I e been with ZR since they were on Kickstarter and in my opinion this is the best gamification app I’ve ever found for exercise. There are days I don’t want to run, but I HAVE to know what is going to happen to Runner 5 and my friends in Abel. The story is so immersive I have cried on my runs, I have laughed out loud, and I’ve been angry. If you are looking for something to make your walk/runs more enjoyable this is the app for you. There have been a few glitches in the app over the years but they are always trying to fix it, and their customer support team is wonderful if you have a problem.

An app designed for those who dislike running. A bit about me: I HATE running. Nothing about it feels good or comfortable. But if zombies were shuffling after me, I’d pick up the pace a bit. This app has not made running feel good or comfortable, but I actually look forward (?) to running. I mean it’s fun. And because it’s a story, I want to know what’s happening. Since I don’t really run, I think the app keeps track of you via GPS for your speed which means even if I’m doing a fast amble and move up to a jog, I can get away from the zombies; so, don’t think you have to be a runner to play this app. There are little games you can play as you upgrade your township. I think that’s cool and another incentive to keep playing the app. Finally, my ‘run’ went a little long today before I got back to the car so the Able Township radio station began to play on its own. That’s really a neat way to keep the ‘story’ going. I recommend this app. Especially for non-runners.

Problem with Apple Watch. I love everything about the app, but ever since I purchased a membership my Apple Watch won't connect to Abel township. When I get ready for my run, I turn the app on my phone and try to get it all set up on my watch as well but then it gives me the messages "contacting abel" or "connecting to iPhone, please make sure phone is connected to bluetooth" and never shows up. everything is set up properly but it never comes up on my watch. I have the 1st generation Apple Watch and iPhone 6s. Just really disappointing because I love the app but I'd rather buy a membership with a different running app that communicates with my Watch properly. Hopefully there's a resolution for this issue soon.

Talk about incentive!. When initially downloading the app I expected something cliche and not entirely interesting. “Run! Zombies are chasing you!” However, what I got was so much more in depth and involving. It gave me extra motivation to keep going past “don’t die”. Run extra? More supplies. I want to do interval training? It’s an extra mission? Want to run to the store and still get points? I can do that too! More supplies and more options for what happens to my town. The icing on the very delicious cake however was the very interesting story line that had me hooked from my first run. It’s been a wonderful app and I look forward to diving deeper in to the runner lifestyle.

Love the app but buggy. Best motivation I have had to run. Love the whole zombie concept and you can tell a lot of time and thought went into this app. But I have had similar problems others had. No zombie chases at all when chases are enabled. Got a phone call during one run and it basically shut the app off- no music played, but I picked up items, but then the run just shut down. Weird. I’ve had clips repeat on me and music just stop playing .Things like that . Now I have to turn off my cellular just to run so I don t get a phone call.

My absolute favorite app!. I’ve been a runner five for four years now and this app has helped me lose almost 90lbs. I always had a hard time staying interested in a workout routine but this app keeps you wanting more. You will fall in love with the story and the dynamic characters and be excited to learn what happens next. Also this app is so inclusive of everyone at any fitness stage, there is no pressure to lose weight or become a better runner. It’s all about having fun. I absolutely recommend this app to anyone looking for a positive and judgement free fitness experience. By far the greatest fitness app of all time :)

Ran a marathon because of Zombies,Run. A couple of years ago I checked out my first runner 5 mission and it was a love affaire with running right from the start! First it was a slow jog around my block then before I knew it I was doing a 5k, 10k, 8 mile Great Aloha Run, a half marathon and finally the 2017 Honolulu Marathon! —- ALL thanks to Zombies, Run! Great missions, training plans, story lines and plenty of humor and heart ache from the characters you get to know and love (and some you hope get eaten by zombies). So from the bottom of my heart, thank you and I love you all! Please keep the missions coming! - Runner 5 (Aka Jade/mom)

Great app!. Right now there are 9 seasons of missions (about 20 per season). Most of the story lines are fantastic and really helped keep me on track with my running! There are also “new adventures” which can be hit or miss for me personally but provide variety away from the zombies portion of the app. While we were all in lock down during the pandemic, I was very impressed that they came out with the “home front missions” which provided more of a circuit training workout vs running and helped to keep me active during a terrible time. I am a legacy member so I have access to everything except the virtual races but for my money I think it’s been well worth it!

Fantastic App!. I started listening to this app the other day and I am I love! This app has helped me so much, especially with my sprints. I can no longer say I can’t sprint to save my life. I definitely suggest putting zombie chases on because that is what really made step up my game. The only complaint I have is that the distance measurements are in kilos so every time I need to set the distance, I have to google how many kilos are in three miles or however many I am running that day. Aside from that I love the app and I’m a few days in going to upgrade to pro! Definitely recommend!!

I used to love it. I used to use this app all the time. I used to love it and want to use it and want to hear the stories. I broke my leg and wasn't able to do anything for a while. Then I was able to get another iPhone and watch and immediately downloaded this app. Only to find things had changed. The stories you have to wait a week for now unless you pay? I understand what you guys have built and how big this has gotten and you need to support it. I know the add ons and gear can make you money heck I've bought some gear! But just the regular missions and having to wait unless you pay is sad to me now. I still love it and use when I can. I'm just sad and disappointed.

Great app, but some suggestions.. First of all, ‘Zombies, Run!’ is such a great app for me. I would like to say some complaints and would love to see some changes in the future. My first complaint is: I’m not in shape (that’s not the complaint). Meaning I can’t run every now and then, but I can walk. It would be great if you could make it for people who just enjoy walking, and not running. There should be an option before you start that you just want to walk, not run. If this is already in the pro subscription, sorry for wasting your time. But if it is you should at least give us a minimum of the option to walk. Another complaint I have is that you have a great idea if supply runs and it actually tells you what type of stuff you got from that category; but you waste this idea and just make specific items turn into just “supplies”. It would be better if there were sections that have to be filled like there would be a water or food meter. Thank you for listening, please take this into consideration.

Cool concept just not made well. This app has such a cool concept, but I think it could be played out way better. I used the app for the first time today and only the end of the mission pushed me to run a lot. I think it would be much cooler if they placed where the places were nearby on the map so it would feel more realistic running towards the location and to the base. It would also be cool if you can see objects on the map and you could run to the objects. I also was disappointed cuz the zombies only came by me one time in the mission and I got away from the quick and I think it would be cooler if they constantly were nearby so I would be pushed to run more. I think with a few modifications this app could be really cool.

Fantastic!. I’m a person who needs serious help to stay motivated to workout at all. This app does it! Just used it for the first time today and purchased a year subscription immediately after. I’m already finding myself excited for my next walk/run. I’m even looking forward to trying some of the workouts it has. I love the music integration it works flawlessly as I’ve seen. The storyline is deeply entertaining and has me hooked looking forward to the next episode. Love the app, I’ve definitely found what I’ve been needing to help stay in shape!

Absolutely perfect!!!. I am not a runner. I do not like running but like a lot of people, I want to look great so I’ve gotta get my cardio in (and after having a bad knee injury, convincing me to do any cardio was a miracle) This app actually motivates me to get out of bed in the morning and “out-run the zoms!!” I recommend this to everyone and the best part is, you can even go at your own pace (if that includes breaking down into a brisk walk like I do) Honestly, I’ve never been so happy to buy the full version of an app and the reward system is perfect! 10/10 would suggest getting.

Used to be good. Used to be good but apparently got bought out and now it’s trash. It used to give you stats about your run such as distance, time, and average pace as well as your route that you ran. Now it just gives the time (maybe it gives distance if you choose your run by distance instead of time). So now all I know is how long I ran and not how far or anything else about my run. They used to record all those stats even for the free version. It’s also full of bugs and glitches now that plenty of other runners have had. I couldn’t even get my run to start initially today. But hey, here’s some more Marvel trash to throw in your face that will cost you even more. So congrats on paying to be advertised to you. Time to find a new running app.

I love this app. I love this app so much!! It helped me a lot with my running especially because I really want to go into Track for my middle school and so I wanted something to practice on. And when I found this app, it was exactly what I needed!! Even though I want to go into Track, I never always really liked running, but it’s app made me run an entire mile!!!! Now that might not be a big deal to some people, but for me it is a HUGE accomplishment because I would never ever used to be close to even a mile and now with this app I’m almost close to running 2 MILES!!!!! For me that HUGE and I owe it all to this app for that :)

Super creative. Congrats to the team that created the stories. I caught myself speeding up and sometimes laughing out loud with those radio guys. My playlist magically matched their stories. Sadly I’ll stop using it because I’ll be using garmin watches instead of carrying my phone. But still, I may go for some runs with my phone just to see if Runner 8 will become a zombie or not. Im also eager to listen to other stories, even not being a big fan of zombies, they created something so immersive that I’m enjoying it.

Best Motivator I’ve Ever Had!. Nothing can get my excited to go out and run like this app. When I first started, a mile was a huge obstacle that took the breath right out of me; now I’m running 4 miles at a killer pace and feel energized, not tired, at the end. And unlike other exercise apps, this one won’t shame you if you don’t use it- no notifications or emails asking where you went. The creators are also extremely inclusive of diversity and differing abilities, and like the companion book says- everyone has something to give in the zombie apocalypse, and as long as you can move above a slow shamble, we need you!

Everyone needs this!!!!. Why are there not more reviews!?!?? This is amazing!!! I've had the zombie 5k forever and I freaked when I saw this!!!! And the added features!!! I'm wishing I had more energy to run more than one mission a day! I immediately bought the yearly subscription and I'm aching to hear the story!!! Anyone having issues can easily get their answers in the help menu! I had a starting problem with the music on my first mission, but that came down to operator error (me). Honestly, this app is very easy to use! I'm a gamer at heart so this thing is wonderful! You have to get the subscription!! The bonuses are freaking amazing!

I hate running.... 215 pound female. I hate running. I hate standing. I hate it all. However, I am a gamer. And I love augmented reality games! I have tried for about four years to get into running and fitness and nothing was working. With Zombies, Run I have run more than I ever have in my lifetime and I’ve only been through season one. Just after season one, I am faster and I can run for longer. It’s in sane with this app has done for me! I haven’t lost any weight yet but that’s probably on me. The point is my heart is stronger my lungs are better and I CAN run. I have 95 pounds to lose and 7 more seasons to go: I think I can do it !!

Amazing concept and well done!. I’ve never been one to be motivated to run and decided to check this out after it was recommended to me. I did my first mission last month and instantly love with it! I’ve recommended it to countless people as well. The immersive story line and the zombie chases works wonders to keep me coming back for more! I’ve run into a small bug when it comes to music where if I don’t have my Apple Music running in the background, it won’t shuffle my playlist, but I’ve worked around that until the developers get that figured out. Definitely a great game to try out if you’re interested!

Needs fixing. This app is amazing. I’ve never had an app on my phone that actually made me want to get up a three in the morning and run myself to the point of throwing up. But there is a huge problem. The app seems to close by itself within a few minutes of the screen being off. I would listen to the beginning part of the story and then run for a long time for the next part to find that the game has closed on its own, forcing me to restart the story I was on. I would love for this to get fixed. I have us the iPhone 6s. I don’t know if that’s why it’s not working but I would love to here back from you guys.

Pro subscriber and very happy. I went for the pro subscription when it was first offered with no second thoughts and I haven’t looked back! The app developer does an awesome job of fixing bugs, has great storytelling and voice acting, is very responsive, and the app keeps improving. I still use it every time I go for a run - and I’ve been using the app for literally years. (You can still listen to your tunes when you use this app; it will work alongside Apple Music. So try it out and see what you think. Personally I find the story to be more motivating than pep talks from athletes - as seen in other running apps.)

Five stars. I almost never right reviews but this app deserved it. I started running cross country at my school but I don’t like running at home that much. My dad said to try this app and it changed everything. The story wanted to make me run so I could here the rest of the story. There is different options for time or distance, and also the pedometer or a gps. It tells you your pace and how far you went. They also have a zombie chase system where it makes you speed up for a certain amount of time or else you lose your materials you’ve corrected.

So fun!. I hate running, jogging, speed walking... But I did all three the first time I played this app, and had fun! I may become a runner, yet! Currently using the free version, but will pay for pro if my engagement remains after a few weeks. I love this idea, especially for people like me who enjoy games and audiobooks - I would always get sooo bored when running before, even with music. No boredom today! Thanks for the chance to try out such a fun app! Update- bought the year membership- if it weren't for time constraints, I'd be going out on "runs" twice a day! Updated update- I’ve now gone from nonrunner to half marathons! I AM RUNNER 5!

Best there is for run motivation. I've been using this app for years. Gifted it to myself to help me start running consistently. From the first mission, (well the second. The first I was thoroughly confused with use of the app), I was hooked. Since then the app has only gotten better. The non Zombie adventures, the virtual races, a real life Rofflenet, had kept me hooked, and running. I tell everyone I know about this app. The only reason I take a star off is because the subscription price is way out of the reach of most people and I wish it was still tiered. At least you can still use the app for free though.

I hate running. But I love this app. I despise exercise. I’m a couch potato—a recluse. A homebody. I leave the house for food and work and that’s it. But since getting this app, I’ve found myself motivated, even EXCITED to go out and run. I have found after only a few weeks of using this app that I’m less tired in my daily life and running has been getting easier to the point of enjoyable! I highly recommend Zombie’s Run. There’s such a sense of adventure and community. The instant connection when you happen to meet another Runner 5 is incredible.

Im amazed. I don’t usually run reviews but this app deserves one! The way this app allows you to challenge yourself while also “enjoying” a run is incredible. If you’re looking to get into shape while also enjoying a thrilling story, this app is for you. It makes you feel as if you’re really in this apocalyptic world which is frightening but pushes you in ways you never thought you could reach. I found this app through a social media app and decided to see what it was about. Definitely not disappointed! Not to mention I downloaded this while the covid-19 is still around.... it makes the run even more spooky!

If you hate running but want to love it, this is for you. I’ve always hated running. I’m still not very good at it, I still can’t run very far or very fast, but I’m already noticing small improvements. I’ve been going to bed excited to get up and go running! I don’t think I would have started if I didn’t download Zombies Run. It’s exciting and a great motivator, when I don’t think I can keep going the story and the zombie chases help me push myself. I suffer from depression and chronic fatigue and the days I run I feel lighter. This app gives me the excitement to keep at it. Thank you to the developers of this app!

Needs to work on Apple Watch without carrying your phone!. I used to run with this app all the time—it’s fun, engaging, motivating, and I always looked forward to finding out what came next in the story. Once I got an Apple Watch, I was looking forward to running without having to lug my phone around. The disappointment at finding this app won’t work without the phone is huge. Please please please fix this! I miss hearing the story on my runs! The second it works on its own on the Apple Watch, I’ll resubscribe and be a subscriber for life because this game is just that good and that fun. I miss it but not enough to carry my phone—being able to ditch that on runs was the only reason for getting the Watch with GPS!

Seems cool, but.... The whole idea of this app seems really really cool and immersive. However, wouldn’t it be cooler if instead of automatically collecting supplies as you ran, that you could swipe left or right or something for a gps map of your town or current location with pinned spots where supplies are or may be to add “breaks” and you could stand there or whatever and break while you’re “looting” for your supplies. I feel like that would make it really cool, kind of add to the mission and immersion of the game to add direction to your run. I really hope the developer(s) see this and decide to implement this feature for a more immersive and interesting run!

USED to be my FAVORITE. Before the update I LOVED zombies run. The stories the chases, so much better than a normal running app. But, after the update everything just went downhill. Started crashing, it would supposedly say that my run started but once I was done it would not let me finish or stop my run; which ended up never tracking my run at all. Even though you have zombie chases, no actual chases come up anymore. Even randomly clicking mission the app won’t allow you to use the back button. It just crashes. I’m pretty upset because I personally loved the app and would tell everyone about it but now I think I’ll move on to strava and see what that’s about until this app can get fixed, and hopefully soon. :/

Extremely Buggy After Re-Branding. This app was terrific once which is why we all gave it 5 star ratings 1 year ago & even 3 years ago. But after a major update/re-branding in September of this year 2023, the app has been reduced to a nearly unusable state. The app critically crashes 5/7 times a week on my 30 minute jogs. This is a major improvement from last week when the app would just cease to work immediately after starting a run. The app was buggy in 2014 but it's currently at an inconceivable low compared to anything in the recent decade. Part of the latest update was to place large chunks of the media that were previously available to users and put them behind a pay wall. There once was an incredible amount of value here, but the new blatant pay-to-play system is a drastic change. This app barely functions anymore after multiple updates and the support team is presumably swamped because it's taking them 3 days to respond instead of the usual 1. Save yourself the effort and just download the Nike Run Club app until Zombies, Run can sort itself out. Cheers, and stay safe out there.

Apple Watch Support Lacking. I really like this app, and I’ve had it since the original launch, but coming back, I really wish Apple Support was better at this point. I’d like to go for a run outside, using just my Apple Watch and some headphones. The watch app doesn’t work independently from the phone at all, so you need to carry your phone with you. That can be a pain with these larger iPhones, like the XS Max, and it defeats the point of the freedom provided by the Apple Watch, especially the LTE version. It would be great if you could download individual missions to the watch before going on your run. Seems like a feature that would have been implemented years ago, but here we are in 2019 still missing it.

If you hate running, this is the app for you. I got this app on a whim and I’m amazed by just how much fun the story line is! I’ll set out for a boring jog and instantly I’m caught up in the story of the Abel township and how on earth we are going to survive. It’s a genuinely funny story with many moments that had me laughing. You can walk while you listen to this and still feel like you are saving lives, but honestly it just makes me feel really proud of all those everyday runs that can grow so mundane. Sure, to everyone it looks like I just completed another trail run... but gosh darn it I saved lives during that run.

Why destroy a good app?. I’m finally fed up. Been a loyal user from the beginning… what was that, 2012? Never complained, not a peep, as the app was changed, costs were added, functionality removed. But I shelled out the cash for the latest virtual run and you sabotaged the whole thing by changing your platform right while you were taking our money for a race that you ended up not even being able to pull off. I just wasted my time running my heart out for 5k while the stupid app says I ran a half mile. I had it set right… gps… outside… sunny day… my watch recorded 5k… the app was giving me item pickup notifications the whole time. But it never continued the story after the first audio clip. What a waste of time and money. So disappointed in what you did to this race.

Good for variable abilities.. I deal with chronic pain; sometimes I can run and sometimes I can’t. This app allows me to do what I can without telling me I’m too slow. I can do intervals, walk, or even listen while I’m doing physical therapy. The diversity of the cast and characters makes me super happy, and every time they mention knitting or gaming I grin like a fool. (Big smiles while running - unusual!) The storytelling is amazing. Warning: you may upset onlookers if you cry while running. It was difficult to explain to the postman that I wasn’t in actual peril, though nice to know that he looks out for me and my neighbors.

I love this app. I started running with zombies run back in college, when I realized that I hated the gym but also needed to get SOME kind of exercise. It’s been a real help ever since, distracting me from the sometimes-misery of running, providing a great story line, and not making me feel like a bit of a wimp when I need to walk instead of run (I have asthma, so I tend to do some walking in between running. I recommend turning zombie chases off if you need to do the same!). If I could talk to my high school self now, she’d never believe that she’d enjoy running this much... and yet, here I am.

New ZRX very buggy. I purchased the app just before Season 2 came out, back when some episodes required certain buildings in your town be completed (I liked that the town mattered back then). I really enjoy the app, but this ZRX stuff has just been a mess. A lot of issues have been fixed, but at least twice, including yesterday, I would start a run, it would play the first audio clip, and then… nothing. Not my playlist that I had selected, not the next audio clip, just silence while I collect items. So disappointing. I can’t troubleshoot this app’s issues while running! I just have to quit the app, turn on the playlist in my music app, and hope it works better the next time. It’s a good thing I don’t rely on ZRX to track my running (I just use it for the audio).

Hate it since it became ZRX. Sigh… As the title says. That’s my opinion and frankly I have problems with simply using the app, so opinion aside. There are problems that could be resolved: I go to season 10, click on the newest episode and it soft locks to infinitely load. Great… ugh. The only thing I can do is close the app and relaunch it. The only thing I can do is waste time clicking on the episodes as I get down to the bottom. Note: even with this, if I’m too fast, it’ll soft lock. Next is the basic concept going back. You must use the arrow on the top left corner. This is the only app where swiping from the left screen to go back doesn’t work. Thirdly, notifications. My phone’s settings say they are on. The in app settings say they are all on. I don’t get notifications. The most important notification is the app telling me when to unlock the next episode, so either it is bugged and needs fixing or, straight up, they removed that notification as a “screw you” for F2P people trying to unlock new episodes. These are my top three concerns. I’ve mentioned two of them in my reviews since the app became ZRX and they haven’t been addressed, so here I am posting about them again.

Kills the mood. I recently wrote to the staff that their new commercials are getting in the way of the experience & killing my mood & mindset for a run. Sometime just getting to the point to get up and go is just as challenging, especially in these pandemic times. What I got back was a very defensive reply about needing to pay their actors. I get that, their actors are great & deserve to get paid well for this quality of content, though the “support” staff missed the point entirely. I never even mentioned cutting the pay. My point was that the commercials got in the way of my workouts. Re-think the commercials, not sacrificing pay, just reworking the message in other ways. Anyways, that & the ludicrous paywall on top of a subscription put me off. I’ve deleted this app & The Walk never to look back...

Great app!. I was skeptical about downloading this app. I already use the Map my run app and I was satisfied with that. However, I decided to give this one a try and I had a lot of fun with my first run. It is semi-interactive and the story is not overwhelming nor does it detract from listening to music or experiencing the actual run. The only issue I had was that the GPS didn't track during my first run. After some troubleshooting I found out that it was mainly due to user error. I still rate this a 5. Definitely worth the time to try it out. P.s. You have to create an account but it's a quick process and its free.

4 STAR AND HERE’S WHY…. It’s a very good and interesting app. I love it and all but there’s a problem, I deleted the app for a while and just downloaded it back just now and there’s a problem with the “forgot password”. I typed in my email and everything, all’s well until then. Got the email but it’s not really a ‘link’ that I could just click. I have to copy and paste and when I do it’s saying that it’s invalid. And to try again and I do, same thing. Made sure I copied everything and it’s the same thing, so can you please fix that?? It’s a great app and it’d be a waste if I can’t sign back in back to where I was.

Fan from day one!. Loved this app for getting me into running form the beginning and whenever I drop the habit. I’ve been a user since the beginning of the app years ago when it was only zombies and it wasn’t a as expansive a story. The Marvel content made me go back and enjoy it again. It’s an excellent app and I recommend it to everyone. The except to a 5/5 review is the social functionalities. It seems there’s no reason to invite friends to start using it besides to enjoy the app individually. And the sharing feature to is always glitchy. It never really posts or quits midway, and I’ve tried to post on Instagram, which by now should be a functionality, but I have to take a screenshot and post it myself. It would be a more seamless experience if I could share my progress and story title to my friends without having to stop my workout routine. Besides that, it’s still always a good companion to my runs, it keeps my mind active while incorporating my favorite music.

Navigating this game is a bit rough at first, but it is well worth figuring out. This is awesome!. I have no idea how to adjust a stride length on my bow flex tread climber, nor do I have any idea how to know which intervals are which, or whether or not I should even change them. However I do know I love this game and it is very well done. I mean I hate working out, but I make time to play this game. The voice acting, the sound effects, the realistic storyline, I could go on for days saying good things about this game. I love it and I knew right away I wanted a monthly membership. Thank you guys for your hard work and no it is appreciated.

Keeps me coming back!. I’m not a runner. At all. My dog isn’t either. But, with this app, it keeps me trying and keeps me motivated. The story is super well done and really interesting plus you get plenty of times to listen to your own tunes. The zombie chases keep you motivated not only because there are zombies in your ear piece but also because you get rewards for evading them. This is a super creative way to incorporate all interests (audiobooks, video games, competition, and exercise). After 3 “missions” my mile time has already improved! Love it and I keep recommending it to everyone.

One problem with the Watch app.... The main Zombies Run app has been all around stellar, but there seems to be some flaws with the companion app for Apple Watch. For some reason, half the time the two apps will desynchronize, causing the watch app to record a second run at the same time as my actual recorded run on the main app, typically locked at the .25 km mark. Closing the app does nothing, as for some reason it will automatically reopen even after I’ve ended my run. It’s a glaring problem as I prefer not to take out my phone in the middle of my run. Any looking into and attempt to fix this issue would be appreciated.
