### 5/5 — Best pacer app yet

*2026-06-27*

Best pacer app you’ll get, any splits you want by using the new custom splits literally made this app a game changer. Also easy and simple to use.

### 3/5 — It’s good but…

*2026-04-05*

It does not show all distances  like a 3k

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Pace actually does include metric race distances. When your units are set to metric, you'll see races in km (5K, 10K, half marathon, etc.) instead of miles. You can switch to metric by long pressing the speed display.

Also, if you need a distance that isn't in the list, you can add a custom one by expanding the race list and tapping the + button.

Feel free to reach out at hello@skipjackstudios.com if you run into anything else. -Mike

### 5/5 — Kleine nützliche Laufapp

*2026-03-20*

Sehr übersichtlich und hilfreich für jegliche Bewertungen von Zeiten (Km/miles). Entwickler ist sehr flexibel und baut die App ständig aus. Sehr empfehlenswert!

### 1/5 — Use to be great…

*2026-03-11*

Latest update was promising until the ads started rolling in. I’m out, I’ll find another pace calc.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Ads help me cover the time and effort that goes into building and maintaining Pace. However, they’re not displayed on every launch. You won’t see one the first time you open the app each day, and they’re spaced out afterward. If you prefer an ad-free experience, there’s a one-time “Remove Ads” option in Settings. I hope you’ll give it another try!
-Mike

### 2/5 — Need a place to add distance

*2026-02-07*

Deleted app almost as soon as I downloaded it because this needs a spot to add distance run. Not every run is a neat 5k or 10k, etc.

**Developer response:** Update: I added the ability to add custom distances. Please get the latest version of Pace (2.2) and give it a shot.

Thank you for the feedback! Right now the app includes a large list of preset race distances, but it doesn’t yet support adding your own custom length. I’ll definitely consider adding custom distances in a future update.

In the meantime, you can pull up the race length sheet and expand it to see all available distances. If there’s a specific distance you’re missing, please email me at hello@skipjackstudios.com and I can add it to the app

### 5/5 — Perfect Simple App

*2025-10-04*

It’s a basic app that does everything you need it to do in the simplest way possible with out making you pay for subscriptions

### 5/5 — JJ

*2025-09-09*

Great app

### 3/5 — Hi

*2025-06-23*

Prity gooooood

### 1/5 — Paces are wrong

*2025-02-20*

Compared their paces to correct paces on an online calc, and these paces were off most of the time.

### 5/5 — Simple fantastic app!

*2024-12-20, version 1.12*

This app is so simple and easy to use! Pace or speed per hour automatically adjust one another along with total calculated distances for running 5k, 10k, Half Marathon etc. Built by runner, highly recommended for runners willing to achieve their pace goals.
