About this app

KNOW AND CONTROL YOUR PACE.
• Would you like to improve the quality of your training and run exactly as fast as you should?
• During a race do you think you run quite slow while in fact you start too fast and you are too tired later to finish in planned time?
• Would you like to run using the negative split strategy, but you find it too difficult to calculate and check split times?
• Have you ever dreamt of the possibility to run together with an experienced pace maker?
• Have you ever wanted to race agaist a friend who lives far away and it is difficult to meet him to run together?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you will probably be a happy Pace Control app user!


***
If you face the issue that Pace Control does not track your whole run and/or does not save it, make sure you disable any battery optimizations for Pace Control in Android settings. You can find detailed information on the following site helpful: https://dontkillmyapp.com/.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely great app. Been using for 3 weeks now and couldn't be more pleased. The audio pace alerts was exactly what I was looking for, and all the other features like best lap times and the google earth overlay are just icing on the cake. Some advice for anyone using it, if your GPS signal is a little sketchy, do not select the "detect if my pace changes" because a loss of GPS will cause the timer to stop. Not the apps fault, it just depends on your signal strength which can vary.

I really like it - it does exactly what I need it to do, that is telling me my speed and keeping stats on runs (time, distance, speed, splits, etc.). I've been trying to run slower (to build up distance) and this has been super helpful. Have been using it for several months, have not had any issues.

I LOVE THIS APP! I tell it the distance I want to go and the time I want to do it in, and it tells me through my earbuds every 1/8th mile how much ahead or behind schedule I am. I can still play music using my music app, and this app mutes the music while it's speaking. My Apple-using running buddies are bummed out that it's not available for them. Can't recommend highly enough! Thank you!
