Perfect

Simple, no fluff, no tricks or gimmicks. A+++

Response from developer

Thank you! Happy running!

Minimal and effective

This app does exactly what it says it will. The minimalist UI without a lot of unnecessary garbage is a breath of fresh air. I’ve used it on all my runs the past few weeks and it has worked flawlessly.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Keeping it simple was the whole idea, so it's great to hear it works for you. Happy running!

👍🏼

Keeps me on track during trainings!

Response from developer

Thanks so much! Glad it's keeping you on pace — happy training!

Works perfect for what I need.

Really needed an app that was free, adjustable tempo and would play over music. This hit everything. I downloaded it on my watch and it works without my phone. The volume of the beeps is adjustable and can the beep can be changed. I don’t know how it can be any better. Highly recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you! Happy running!

Watch issues

I really like the design and most of the execution, but the watch app simply doesn’t work. The metronome shuts off as soon as the screen does. Would love to see a version with a usable watch ticker since I don’t take my phone on runs.

Response from developer

thanks for the feedback! while this feels like a harsh score for a solo developer for what could've been a feature request for something that it was not yet intended to do, look for it as a future feature!
