I love having a trainer in my ear telling me it’s okay to take it easy. I wish the voice was more natural. Doing the intermittent running during build phase makes miles feel easy. Content is great as it always cites science. While running I can’t see the whole run schedule and when I pull it up sometimes it skips an interval, I don’t know what I’m accidentally touching to make it do that.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback — really glad the trainer cues and content are landing well! 🙌On the voice — noted, we’re planning to make it more natural in future updates.On the skipping intervals — we haven’t seen this reported before and want to look into it. Could you reach out to us at support@ruutlabs.com with a bit more detail? It would really help us track it down and fix it.
Not for returning or new runners
Lola Phalange
I’d stay away from this app, it’s a recipe for injury - especially if you’re new, returning, and/or older (basically anyone looking to use an app to start running). The marketing makes it look personalized, but it started me off running at way too fast a pace, four days in a row, with fast increases in mileage. It doesn’t include a walking warmup or cooldown, and it couldn’t connect with my devices - so it couldn’t accommodate running on a treadmill. All of these things are basic to other running apps. I made the mistake of signing up for membership, used it a single time, spent a good hour trying to figure out if I just didn’t understand the app’s features, and realized it wasn’t going to work for me. Unfortunately they’re only willing to give a 50% refund. So that’s lame - but my own fault for not paying attention to other reviews. There are much betters apps out there. This one unfortunately spent its startup money on marketing, not functionality or coaching expertise.
Developer Response
Hi Lola, thank you for the detailed feedback — we’re genuinely sorry the experience was so frustrating, especially after putting in the time to try and make it work.We want to address a few of the points you raised:On pace and mileage — all runs in the plan are time-based, not pace- or distance-based. The pace and distance shown are just general recommendations to help you plan your route, not targets you need to hit. We’re working on making this clearer in the app.On running days in a row — you can adjust the number of days and which days you run at any time by going to your Plan tab and tapping Manage Plan.On warmup and cooldown — the app does include warmup and cooldown exercises for each session. If these didn’t appear for you, something may not have worked as expected and we’d love to look into it.On device connection — this is something we’re actively working on and we understand how important it is.Regarding the refund, please reach out to us directly at support@ruutlabs.com — we’d like to look into this and do right by you.
Amazing first run!!
Kat_mart
The after run feeling is night and day. I actually feel excited to do it again tomorrow. I always felt so discouraged when I tried running in the past but having a clear goal and the on the run cues and encouragements from the app makes such a difference. I actually feel satisfied with my effort and optimistic about reaching my goal of running a 10k in July!!
Developer Response
This is exactly why we built Ruut — thank you so much for sharing this, Kat! 🥹That after-run feeling is everything, and knowing you're already excited to go again tomorrow makes our day. You've got a clear goal, the right plan, and the right mindset — that 10k in July is well within reach. We're rooting for you every step of the way! 🏃♀️
Connectivity
Fager21!
I made an assumption that all of these types of apps would connect to Apple products, this one doesn’t. I have to have my phone with me while I run, Ruut doesn’t connect to Apple Watch. I stopped needing to carry my phone on a run a few years ago, how can this app be that far behind??
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. We completely understand the expectation — Apple Watch support is actively in development and is one of our top priorities. We know carrying your phone on a run isn't ideal, and we want to change that. If you'd like us to let you know when it's ready, reach out at support@ruutlabs.com.
