Couch to 5k App

C25k Pro for Android: 4/5
C25K $1.99 or Free today at the Amazon App Store
This is a very simple app to use. It opens to a page with a list of weeks and days. All you have to do is pick week 1, day 1 and start runng
If you follow the plan you will start out with a mix of walking for 60 seconds and jogging for 90 seconds for a total of 20 minutes at week 1. 9 weeks later you will find yourself only walking 5 minutes, but jogging 30 minutes.
Hitting the menu button on your phone takes you to the app settings. Here you'll find a list of different notification settings and a post to Facebook option. In the sound notifications section you will be given the choice to set a 1 minute time left alert, halfway alert, custom alert and a turnaround alert. You also have the choice to set a different sounds for each alert including  a default sound of a female voice and a male voice.
This is a simple straightforward easy to use app and I give it a 4 out of 5
I gave this app a 4 because it may be a little too simple for the $1.99 asking price. But if you get it today for free then I wold give it a 5 out of 5
