About this app

KNOW AND CONTROL YOUR PACE.
• Would you like to improve the quality of your running training and run at exactly the right pace?
• During a race, do you feel like you're running too slowly, while in fact you start too fast and end up too tired to finish within your planned time?
• Would you like to run using the negative split strategy, but find it too difficult to calculate and monitor your split times?
• Have you ever dreamed of running together with an experienced pacemaker?
• Have you ever wanted to race against a friend who lives far away and is difficult to meet in person?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, Pace Control might be exactly what you're looking for!

***
If Pace Control does not track or save your run correctly, make sure battery optimization is disabled for the app in Android settings.

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.

This is a VERY bare bones app that does everything I want it to: map run, save stats after the run, give me periodic pace & distance stats during the run. It took awhile to find something to replace the formerly great apps like Runkeeper and Runtastic that are now just nagware, requiring additional info (like a facebook connection) or money to use, but after trying out a handful of "free" apps, this is the best one. If you want a social network built into your running app, or a million bells and whistles, this isn't for you.

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.

What’s new

version 1.15:
• Added an option to enable a pre-workout countdown, giving you time to, for example, put your phone in your pocket before starting your run.
• Ability to configure the app interface language from Android system settings (per-app language settings available on Android 13 and newer).
• Minor bug fixes.
