### 5/5 — Great app for runners 🏃

*2024-11-12, version 0.3*

Does what it says and no fuss about it, it’s a 5 stars for me

### 5/5 — Used it 4 times a week - changed how I run

*2024-11-09, version 0.3*

Been using Beat Stride quite consistently for the last 3 month and have seen improvements on my run. Simply because I have a custom playlist that’s made within seconds for me. Every run is different and makes for a far more enjoyable experience.

### 5/5 — ACTUALLY HELPS ME RUN

*2024-11-09, version 0.3*

I usually use Spotify’s curated playlists to workout but I find myself constantly skipping to the next song. BeatStride keeps me focused in my workouts, recommending songs I actually like. I highly recommend to anyone else who needs just a little more motivation to stay fit- or start 😉.

### 5/5 — Best running music app yet

*2024-10-20, version 0.2*

Really enjoying discovering music I haven’t heard yet. It has been adding a whole new dimension to my runs. Dead easy to use, link up your Spotify, pick something you like, then pick your pace and bam a whole new playlist which you can send directly to Spotify. Nice ✌️

### 5/5 — The Spotify Running Playlist App I’ve Been Looking For

*2024-10-20*

I love this app! I used to spend so much time listening to samples on Spotify to add to my running playlist and have struggled to find songs that “hit my vibe”. 

I used this app for the first time recently. I found the app so easy to use and very intuitive. 

When I opened the app, I found the main menu was preloaded with some of my favorite artists, so I just clicked on one, entered in my desired pace and duration of run, and viola, there was a kickass playlist made just for me! With just a couple of more clicks it was downloaded into Spotify and off I went!

What I loved most about the playlist was that the songs were 99% all new to me and they matched my goals for the run; a quick paced tempo run! I even set quite a few PR’s in Strava during this run, I was really into it! I loved not knowing what was coming up next, and the time just flew by!

I strongly recommend this app!
