Good workout app

I enjoyed the free one . I decided to buy one of the packs 6 workouts videos for$7.99 is a good price. I havethem on my iPad and have not had a problem.I would like to hear the sites also. I found a another web site that has the sounds that go along with it. They are more expensive($9.99) for a 60 min workout,but a better video experience with the sounds of the countryside especially passing car and people chatting.Overall a good app. Keep it up. I would like to see other European sites like traveling through Paris or Rome. Keep it as a continuous run without breaks. Some of England too.UpdateIt does not go faster when on moves faster. Which is why I gave only 4 stars

When I select my run location it comes up in a small screen not full screen like it used to the small screen is so small on an iPad that it’s not even worth watching and I don’t see any way to make it fullscreen please fix this ASAP or give me a refund on all the money I’ve spent on your locations.Finally version 2.8.7 fixed the issue. That was too many versions. I recommend no bonuses for the coders.

I prefer Virtual Active to its sister app BitGym because you can pick where to start. The app is great, but I wish they added more destinations, and included more urban walking tracks. I noticed that in the past year they have not added any new videos at all to the app and are selling videos to be downloaded only. Still it is a 5-star app, it converts an otherwise tedious workout to fun experience.

We are missionaries in Ethiopia. Running outside is not peaceful or a stress reliever. This app is amazing because I no longer have to stare at my white wall while using my elliptical, I can feel like I am in a world that feels a lot more like 'home' or my home culture. Because of the visual I can go longer without feeling bored and then quitting- wishing I could just run trails like I used to. Thank you for this app! It works seamlessly.
