ChiRunning App Reviews

I would give the app five stars if the "Chi Focuses" matched the Chi marathon training but a lot dont....

I contemplated purchasing this app for a while, unsure of whether it would be worth the price - glad I went for it. The videos alone are worth it, I find myself going back to them again & again in order to help my muscles memorize what proper form feels like. Whats more, Ive purchased the app for friends/family members who are into running and theyve found it as useful as I have!

I am on iOS7. When I have the metronome at 178 waltz, chi focuses on (2 of them at 1 min interval), and background music from my iPhones music app, it seems to cause issues. A chi focus comes on, which pauses the music app and the metronome. When the focus ends, the music restarts fine, but the metronome cadence is messed up, almost sounds like there are two layers of it slightly offset. I have to stop running, pull out my phone, unlock and pause the Chi Running app then unpause it. That usually fixes it until the next focus. If I leave the focuses off it is fine. But then I might as well use my little clippable metronome and my lightweight Shuffle for runs. I also find that when the music is unpaused after a focus finishes, it sometimes comes on at a much louder volume. Then I have to play around with both apps to adjust volumes, because if you just turn the music down with the regular volume controls, it also turns down the metronome and I cant hear it over the music anymore. Am I doing something wrong? If these two things worked Id give the app 5 stars.

I bought this app in the Spring but had to download it to my iPhone…Im still waiting for the iTouch version so I dont have to bog down the memory on my phone. Please make it compatible with an iTouch!!

Fantastic app! I have been a runner for years. And ChiRunning has changed my life! I love having everything in one place (lessons, focuses, tools, videos) Awesome!

A tremendous value with video lessons, metronome, map your run, and ability to customize the focuses you want to work on and how frequently your "coach" speaks to you.

This app is worth every penny. The metronome feature works well and by itself makes this app a great value. The audio coaching done by Danny is also an excellent feature. Very versatile easy-to-use and compatible with other features like your own music.

Im a beginner to chirunning, so I thought this would help. I like the metronome, and the reminders about form; however, it isnt worth the price. I wish it was better about tracking the course that youve run, and I wish there was a way to listen to music through this app. I tried using it, and I just ended up switching to the Nike run app. Disappointing. I feel that I wasted my money.

Why so you need my email, age, height, weight, gender just to use the app? I dont like you collecting info you dont need for spam purposes. Just play the metronome. I paid $10, now respect my privacy by not prying into my personal information. Stop talking to me like a sleepy baby in the app. Im trying to get energized and this isnt helping.

This app wont install on my iPad. Very disappointing. I really want to like this app. Love the books and overall program, but not this app.

This is a review of the app, not of Danny or his program! (Which is wonderful.) Audio on pandora is turned down once I start the chirunning app, and remains and a quiet level throughout the run. The volume of my music should only be reduced when Danny is talking during the guided runs - not the entire time. Thank you

The app has the option to share with map my run. However, i have not been able to do it. It freezes when it says loading. Sent two emails. Finally someone replied with a question. Answered right away and still no response from them. Very poor customer service. I have not been able to even try the app.

Love the app. Have been a chi runner since 2009, always trying to improve my form! The built in metronome has helped significantly along with, distance and time. Would like to see splits. Just recently history does not look at weekly stats nor cumulative stats for any other range. Hope it will integrate with iWatch and Apple health.

Me and my girlfriend run together using the metronome and the Chi Lessons. We just completed a half marathon. It was her second one and my first. Great app and totally worth the price!

DO NOT BUY THIS AP! I bought this ap to help my running; however, the "training" lessons are merely short clips of the exact same thing youll find online and YouTube. It also does not go into detail on how to actually prepare your body or movements. This ap will only benefit you if youve already had previous lessons in chi running.

I took the Chi running class with Danny Dreyer and it was great. Having this app is like having Danny out there helping you every step of the way. Chi running is as valuable as meditation and yoga in ones pursuit for a sound mind and a sound body. Enjoy!
