### 4/5 — Idea

*2024-07-13*

It’d be awesome to be able to print the chosen time line of partials. Thanks !

### 5/5 — Pace

*2023-07-12*

This is pretty neat. I am doing an online run coach app that will give me pace I need to maintain for a certain amount of minutes. This makes it easy for me to then set my run pace on my treadmill. Awesome!

### 5/5 — Awesome and helpful app

*2023-07-06*

Super simple and creative user interface! My new go-to for figuring out my pace and time for both races and training runs!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2021-03-03*

Works really well on watch, I use it all the time for pacing on my cross country races. I would like to see some distances shorter than a mile so that I can calculate paces for track as well. Preferably the 1500, 1600, 1000, 800, 400, 200, and 100.

### 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!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Pace

*2020-12-10, version 1.4*

Pace only seems to be in miles. Should change when you are in kmh

### 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

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-02-16*

You might want to check the algorithm as it says if I do 10kmph that I will do 10km in 36 mins which cannot be right.

### 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

### 3/5 — Hi

*2025-06-23*

Prity gooooood

### 4/5 — Отличный калькулятор

*2024-12-07*

На айфон 14 про Макс не виден результат марафона, разработчик чуть подними картинку чтобы было видно результат марафона при изменение скорости. Спасибо!

### 4/5 — Gut gemacht

*2024-11-04*

Gute App, einfach gehalten. Der Halbmarathon wird bei mir in der Gesamtübersicht zwischen 13 und 14 km angezeigt und nicht nach 21. Update bitte :)

### 4/5 — Only Wish (track paces)

*2024-08-14*

This is the best pacing app in my opinion. I only wish (and would pay for it) is if the default goal time distance was configurable. Right now it shows 5k, 10k, etc. I use this for track so I always have to swipe up to see the 400m split times (1/4 mile). I’d pay if we could adjust that option to the main drop down.

### 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.

### 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!

### 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

### 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.

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use

*2024-10-27*

Just what I needed to check different paces and times

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2024-09-22*

This app is fantastic for its ability to deliver functionality with straightforward UI and simplicity. The long press to toggle between metric units and imperial units is a nice touch.

### 5/5 — Pace

*2024-05-12*

I use this app for all pacing it is very useful

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2024-03-16*

I love how simple this app is. I have been using it to figure out what pace I need to beat my next goal in cycling. Fantastic!!
