Great app for running! I can finally listen to my own playlist while following the cadence.

干净无广告体验拉满

界面干干净净没有任何广告和乱七八糟的功能,专心用来把握步频就足够了。

目前遇到的最好的跑步软件

和其他软件不同,他不会打断我在听的音乐。这意味着我可以选择自己喜欢的音乐,同时可以听到跑步的节拍,太棒了!

独具慧眼!这正是我们与其他不同的部分。感谢反馈!

可以和播客一起播放!

终于找到不打断播客的节拍器了,完美解决长距离跑者的痛😭

之前以为鱼与熊掌不可兼得,现在这个App可以了!!

就是音色选择不算多。不过没事,能听播客和音乐已经很满足了!!!

Response from developer

感谢你的反馈,我们下一步将增加更多音色选择。祝您跑步愉快,马上刷新PB!
