Been waiting for the price to drop on this app, as I begin looking to lose some winter weight. Apparently a great app that makes running actually enjoyable, according to numerous reviews i've read online. I just bought it.

Here's a full price history:

I'd get in quick. Deal ends 3rd Sept. :)

App synopsis:
Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive running game and audio adventure, co-created with award-winning novelist Naomi Alderman. We deliver the story straight to your headphones through orders and voice recordings - and when you get back home, you use the supplies you’ve collected while running to build and grow your base.

    FYI - It's also reduced in the Google Play Store. But for some stupid reason it's only reduced to $2.19

      I highly don't. Used it a few times, found it frighteningly uninspired. The story, frankly, does not give any sense of urgency. It feeds you trollop that is not based on how your run is actually going. Same story spoken to you at the same interval every time.

      Then, I found audio needs prioritising - if you have something else running (eg: a real running tracker app or music) then the story gets cut off. And of course you cant rewind.

      Another annoying thing was I was going to use it to re-start training in Europe following an injury I had in AU that had forced me to stop training. But I couldn't - 3G data / internet connection required to start it up!

      I was hoping for so much more than this. Save your pennies IMHO. It's not even worth Telstra credit.

      • Great review, thank you. I was on the fence, but will refrain now.

      • My experience exactly. A lot of the voice acting is laughably bad too.
        Runkeeper + great tunes > this app any day.

  • How is this different from Zombies, Run 5K? (which I already have)?

    • Run 5k is to train you up to be able to run 5km, this one expects you to able to do that already. :)
      I have both on my S3, still haven't used either yet. :(

  • I tried this app… after a couple of runs it became boring… I was hoping for more "Runner one, hurray up, you are about to be eaten! Oh, shit! You are being eaten! OMFG! You are a zombie! Game over, man! Game over!"

    Instead it was like "Runner one, hurray up!"… two minutes later "Runner one, almost there!"… two minutes later "You are here!"… pfft!

    My point being that there was zero motivation to run faster because nothing changes in the story if you run too slow.

      Unless you turn on Zombie Chases, in which case if you are too slow, they take away your items.

  • Great App, gives me reason to go for a run and links into runkeeper

    • Hm. Thats news to me. Maybe it's a new feature.

      • It's been a feature since 2012..

        • Then maybe I am blind. I did go looking for it.
