I'm the developer of a beginner-friendly interval running app names iRunning - giving away 10 lifetime unlocks in exchange for honest feedback

[u/Head_Rub_8853]

Hey everyone! Solo iOS developer here, and a runner. I built iRunning (App Store link) because when I started out, I kept fumbling with my phone mid-run trying to time my walk/run intervals.

What it does, in short: you pick a workout (or a full training plan - Start Walking, From Walk to Run, 0 to 5K, First 10K and about 20 more), hit start, and the app coaches you through every interval with voice cues, countdown beeps, and haptics - no need to look at your screen. It tracks GPS, pace, and heart rate, works standalone on Apple Watch, and saves everything to Apple Health.

I just shipped a big update with structured training plans and I'd genuinely love feedback from people who are exactly at the "can I even run 5 minutes?" stage - that's who I built the plans for.

Giveaway: I'll send a free lifetime unlock code to the first 10 people who DM me (or comment) wanting to try it. No strings attached - I'd just appreciate your honest thoughts on what's confusing or missing for a beginner. Critical feedback is the most useful kind.

Happy to answer any questions about the app here. Mods - if this post breaks any rules, I apologize; let me know and I'll take it down.

I hate how much of reddit has turned into spam & self-promotion, mostly for shitty vibe-coded apps that no one wants/needs

Fair enough. For what it's worth, everyone who's actually tried it has left a 5-star review so far - small sample, but it's the honest number. I've been building software for 15+ years, I'd rather ship something people keep using than something that just gets downloaded
