I love the app, what would make it perfect is an Apple Watch companion app/integration. I use my watch for all my workouts, and it would be great to be able to do the outdoor run portion with just my watch, as I prefer to not bring my phone anymore.
Not as user friendly as it could be, and I would start on chart 2 if you are in reasonable shape.

I will continue to use it, but there are times where I would have like more information about what the buttons do. Example I stopped the running on the spot section because I hit the wrong button by mistake. Counting at the very lowest stages is confusing. Is it reps or is it sets. Once you move up. You learn it was reps. I moved up to chart 2. Things make much more sense, and chart 1 was to easy to hold my interest.
A Great Classic Plan

I have been doing this program most of my life since I was quite young because it has been around for decades and I am now over 60 years old and use this plan daily to keep fit it is perfect for people that don’t have a lot of time or money to invest in the gym membership or sports team. Doing this daily will keep your body strong and fit and then you can also do the walking or jogging in the evening or some other time as well if you like. I like doing this plan first thing in the morning. Doing this plan with participation in one or two other activities will keep you very fit and strong. I am a true believer that the consistency of 5BX is the key to what can keep a person healthy and fit. There is no excuse because everyone can put aside 11 minutes a day.
Great UI. Does what it is supposed to.
