App doesn’t fit Screen
Response from developer
Hi thanks for your review but I haven't heard of this issue or am able to replicate it, are you using zoom or a larger text size? Please email me at pacebyathlytic@gmail.com so that I can troubleshoot for you. Once fixed, please consider revising your review. Thank you! Gary
Needs more development

Hi thanks for your review but from the sounds of it, it sounds like our sister App Athlytic might be a better fit for you? Pace was designed for users who might not be as sophisticated about their health and fitness or e.g. understand what HRV is. So you might want to give it a try. As far as Garmin/Strava/ErgData integration, these companies should properly sync their data in to Apple Health, the biggest company in the world and privacy focused, IMO it should be the central health database for our data instead of trying to integrate with every 3rd party company that becomes popular. Thanks! Gary
An interesting health monitoring app with potential
Pace utilizes the immense amount of health data Apple collects and presents in a very convenient fashion. But Pace is more than just a simple compiler. It also does data trending to create actionable insights based on your own unique set of metrics. Your insights update regularly based on what’s happening in your daily life. For example, Pace could recommend recovery after you’ve had a hard workout, or it can recommend increasing your outdoor time if it senses you are behind what you normally do. It has actually shown how impressive Apple is with the data they can actually collect, since Pace itself is not collecting any data. I believe this app can be a powerful tool for anyone interested in keeping track of their general health.
However, there are several considerations. Pace is made by the same team behind Athlytic, which is another app that gathers the immense amount of Apple’s data to present health insights with more emphasis on training fitness. As someone who uses Athlytic and attests to that app genuinely changing how I think about training and recovery, I have to wonder why Pace is not being integrated as a part of the core Athlytic experience.
There is also the discussion of cost. Pace has an annual subscription of $30/year (if paid annually), which is the same as Athlytic. While this subscription price is not a huge ask, it seems to me that Pace does not offer nearly enough features to justify it having the same subscription price as Athlytic.
That said, I do believe the team has a vision for Pace and I personally believe they will be working in good faith to address these criticisms to deliver a good product (based on my experience with using Athlytic). Pace is definitely in the early stages of development, and now is the time to provide them with feedback if you also believe in the potential of this product.
My recommendation: if you believe this app has something for you, take advantage of the 1 week free trial and see how it goes. If you don’t like it, remember to cancel the subscription before the 1 week. I would also recommend reading the patch notes and recent reviews if you decide to wait for this app to be developed further. I personally think this app is worth using in its current state, but I can understand why people might seem disappointed with how it looks right now.

Hi thanks so much for your review, but one note about the separate subscription and price: Pace was built for the user who may not necessary be as sophisticated about their health data as Athlytic users , e.g. who know what HRV is and can understand all the data. So to try and build a much simpler app that only surfaces what you need to know about your health in this moment, it would be impossible to incorporate that into Athlytic, which is already a very sophisticated and full-featured app. Along those same lines, while Pace may appear simple on its surface, under the hood it's as comprehensive and complex as Athlytic, its just that it takes the different approach of not surfacing all your data at once to review as Athlytic does but instead, only speaks up when something is off. And again this approach was taken to make the app easier to understand on first download. I hope this helps explain why the two apps are separate. Thanks! Gary
Clean, easy to use, great insights.
Pace is what Apple Health should be!
I really appreciate an app that’s not solely focused on strain & recovery.
Proactively notifying me of metric trends is wonderful.
I love the app and can’t wait to see how it improves over time.
