Difference Between Free Version and Pay Version?

Hi, everyone!

 

I just re-started running with the couch to 5k app.  I had used a different app previously but lost it when I changed phones.  I came across the zenlabs app and love it!

 

Right now I'm using the free version.  I've read the descriptions of both the free version and the pay version, but haven't seen any difference between the two.  I'll be happy to buy the full version if it is an upgrade.

 

Can anyone tell me what the pay version has that the free version doesn't?

I have the Pro, and I think the ads are the only difference. My personal thing is if I find an app I really get a lot out of, I'll spring for the paid version to support the developer. Plus we get the free forum use here, so to me purchasing the app and supporting Zen Labs is a small way for me to give back. 

 

But that's just me and my way of doing things...

You see that big circle that counts down your current run/rest time remaining?

 

Well, if you click on it and you have the Free version you get a pop-up that tells you at least one of the perks of the Pro version.

 

If you have the Pro version, you actually get to see these perks. The perks are, upon clicking the circle, it will display your distance run, upon clicking the circle again, it will display your calories burned, and finally by clicking on the circle again, it will revert back to displaying the time remaining. (There may be more perks but this is all the pop-up tells me.)

 

I use a Samsung Galaxy S5 which came with the S Health app which already provides this information when running, however, I downloaded C25K to be more strategic about my training and I have tried to use both apps together and for some reason, S Health still provides my distance run so far (as well as current speed/pace) but it no longer provides my cadence (steps per minute) or calories burned, but the Google Fit app still reports these values.

I went with the pro version to eliminate the ads. I use Runkeeper and MapMyRun to track my workouts. It's funny, I tried out both apps to see which one I like better, and now I can't let either of them go because I like different things about each of them. I prefer those two apps because they're gps-based allowing for more accurate distance. Far more accurate than c25k.
