Amazing insight

I have been using the athlytic app for over two years but some of the info was confusing! Pace makes it all clear!!! Let me be this app!!!

App doesn’t fit Screen

So I tried to pair it with the other app but seems the screen for it doesn’t work with iPhone 17 pro max. Kind of a bummer I was looking forward to giving it a try.

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

I’m enjoying experimenting with Pace and particularly like the way it identifies longer-term health patterns, but I think there is an important limitation for serious cross-training athletes. Pace appears to rely heavily on Apple Health and, in my case, that does not necessarily represent the best available source data. For on-water rowing I use a Garmin watch with a chest HR strap, while for indoor rowing I use a chest strap connected directly to Concept2 ErgData; for sleep and overnight recovery I use Apple Watch data interpreted through AutoSleep, which I regard as my authoritative sleep source. This gives me a richer multi-platform picture of training load, HRV, recovery and actual performance than Apple Health alone. For example, Pace can tell me that my “cardio fitness” is declining and recommend more daily walking, while potentially under-recognising substantial rowing and erg training that is far more cardiovascularly demanding than walking. It would make Pace considerably more useful if users could nominate authoritative data sources by category, integrate Garmin/Strava/ErgData training data, and distinguish between general activity and sport-specific cardiovascular training. Most importantly, I would suggest not assuming that Apple’s walking-derived Cardio Fitness estimate adequately represents cardiovascular fitness for users whose principal aerobic exercise is rowing, cycling, swimming or other activities that Apple does not use to generate that estimate.

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

This review is based on Version 1.4.7.

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.

Response from developer

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.

Awesome app, super useful for quick and easy to digest insights. It takes the native Apple Health app to the next level with dynamic trends, weather data, and analysis that can’t be found on other apps. Recommend to anyone who is looking for more than just the basic charts and static data from the Apple Health app.

Pace is what Apple Health should be!

My title says it all.

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.

Amazing app and devs

I’ll admit I had some reservations at launch but the devs were incredibly responsive and fixed every minor gripe that I had. The app is quite good for seeing your health data quickly and easily.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your review and I actually love your suggestion. Look for it in the next update! ;) Gary

Another Athlytic Hit!

I have been a longtime Athlytic user in combination with HealthFit. I stumbled across this new Athlytic app in the App Store. Pace is just right, your health monitor, I am really looking forward to getting to know this application.

AI is Wrong and no way to correct

So there is no way to contact the engine other than this, to correct wrong assessments. Or correct the course of recommendations. Seems short sighted or lack of support. I’ll keep people posted how it works out. The AI will refuse to correct actions and recommendations which seems really lame.

Response from developer

Hi, why do you think there's lack of support? if you tap on Help and Feedback in Settings there's a long list of FAQ and way to message me any questions you have. Please do and I'll be happy to help with any issues you are having. Once fixed, please consider revising your review. We're a small team of 2 :) Thank you! Gary

Getting there!

Each update gets it a little bit closer to perfect. The last feature I need before I can rate 5 stars is to hide certain metrics on the “see all your metrics”. I don’t want to ever see my weight as I only look at that number once a week. I have body comp down at the bottom which helps, but please let us expand those and hide individual numbers. I can’t ever look at anything else in body comp because of that.

Awesome Insights to your Health

Great app and insight to your health journey.

Response from developer

Hi thanks for your review but did you mean to leave a higher rating? You seem to like the app but rated it only 1 star? If you have any questions please email me at pacebyathlytic@gmail.com. Thanks! Gary

PACE, smart app with lot’s of potential!

PACE UI is great! Easy to use, easy to understand and it points you to critical information quickly. It comes with AI interactive capabilities built on Apple Intelligence. And, it is well positioned to leverage the new Apple Intelligence capabilities that are expected later this year.

Needs work - don’t purchase yet

Keeps sending notifications that a weekly report is ready to view but there’s no actual place to view the report. App needed a lot more work before taking people’s money.

Response from developer

Hi thanks for your review but the weekly report is a notification only at this point, however I am working on a much more robust report inside the app. It is a very small part of Pace though so I'm not sure it's fair to completely base your review on. After you've used Pace a little more, please consider revising your review. Also please feel free to share and of your thoughts with me personally at pacebyathlytic@gmail.com. Thank you! Gary, Creator & Developer

Not enough for a stand alone app

This would be much better if added to Athlytic . There are quite a few free apps that provide as much and some even more information than this does. Great idea but just not sure if it's worth it for a membership.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review, but the whole point of Pace is that it doesn't overwhelm you with data if it doesn't need to. So I think it's unfair to rate it after only a few days of use. If everything checks out, Pace isn't going to make up data just to keep you engaged and keep coming back to it like other apps do. It's only going to have content on the Home Screen if you need to hear it. Please consider revising your review or at least give it more time to understand how it works. Gary

Design e funcionalidade

Achei a proposta do aplicativo excelente. Ansioso pela tradução em português-BR e complicações no Apple Watch

Well quite useless without paying for it otherwise nice and clean

It does it thing after you pay (basically useless without paying) but quite expensive as it basically is just visualizing existing data in apple health. Maybe a discount for existing paying Athlytic customers would be nice

Response from developer

Hi! Apple prematurely released Pace before the subscriptions were approved. Pace has been in the ‘waiting for review’ queue in Apple’s App Review for days now. We can’t release the correct version of Pace (where you are not stuck behind the paywall) until Apple approves it. I’ll update this response once it’s available and please consider revising your review once you can actually use the correct version of the app. We are as frustrated as you are :(. Thank you! - Jaclyn Edit to add: The correct version of Pace with the ability to subscribe with a 7-day free trial is available now. We would love for you to redownload it and give it a try and please consider updating your review after giving it a try. Thanks! - Jaclyn

General Health Oversight Made Simple

I am a very well diversed tech guy. Whether it being home networking, smart home and now health & fitness technology including wearables; I see Pace Health as a very easy to understand health metrics app.

Afterall; it utilizes your own personal tech you already have in both your Apple Watch and its associated Apple iPhone, to record top level health metrics.

Pace takes the technology that is already available with your Apple Watch and breaks down further information for which Apple Health does not do, at least at present.

With the undesired acts of our illicit government controlled health care system, it is up to each of us to be solely accountable and proactive in our own health and not reliant on health insurance companies and drug cartels like big pharma to tell us their scare tactics in order for their poisons to get into us.

Pace by Athlytic is the second step in gaining control of your health. The first; buying a Apple Watch and connecting it to Apple Health. If you want a deeper dive into your health, try the Athlytic app itself.

Not Funtional

I wanted to use this app but it’s impossible to upgrade and if you can’t upgrade you can’t see any of the meaningful data. I’m sure this is a glitch, but it’s been three days now and other reviewers have reported the same.
