## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It can’t measure a km

*2026-03-29*

The app keep miss reading a km so the split time are too fast. I have measured on google maps and garmin read around 12 km today  pace setter said 17 km

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2023-08-15*

Im a marathon runner. Thought this app would be good for keeping pace. Boy was I wrong. Do I ourself a favour and get strava.

### 1/5 — Distance is not correct

*2021-09-12*

I tested with other iphone apps and external GPS,  this app always tracked short by .01-.02 mile per mile.  for short runs you might not care but the error on long runs adds up.

### 2/5 — Inaccurate

*2023-12-01*

Kept saying slow down and all three splits were over the time it was set for. I know where my mike markers are and this app was way off. Walk today was a waste. I’ll keep looking.

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-03-02*

Good app. GPS is pretty accurate. It would be great if I could set my run from a time target as well just from distance. Also, adding more than 2 interval paces options. Recovery pace, multiple intervals pace, etc in one run.

### 4/5 — Great App!!

*2021-06-15*

Just needs to be able to work on Apple Watch

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and rating! Pleased to hear you’re enjoying the app. We will look into getting on to the watch.

### 4/5 — No signups woot woot [Edit]

*2020-07-03*

No idea if this app is good. I just got it because it said no signups lol [edit] So I’ve used it and it works well but it is a very basic app with no fancy gizmos. My 3 downsides would be that it doesn’t have any encouragement or even reassuring when you are going the correct pace, it just instead stays quiet. Next it doesn’t allow for a specific range of time from pace, like I would be fine if I was 5 seconds slow but it doesn’t allow you to set a specific time range. My biggest thing with this is that it doesn’t allow you to change the pace during the run, I want to speed up my pace for the last mile but in order to do that I have to quit my run and start a new run with the new pace. Overall good but could probably use some upgrades at some point.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Some good points that we will look to include in future updates.

### 5/5 — no signups and easy to use

*2025-07-30*

Have used for two years now to train for 7 mile race. Would love it more if the smallest unit was 0.1 mile for interval and progression runs.

### 5/5 — Finicky Audio Cues

*2025-02-01*

Really useful app, but sometimes the audio cues don’t work.

### 5/5 — Awesome easy to use

*2024-08-26*

Super simple, gives you pace guidance as you run. Just what I was after.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-05-06*

I have used this several times to track my pace and I like it very much. Is there a way to add a time to the choices. For example instead of setting a pace per mile could you make an option to have a pace per time.  A lot of my training says 9:30 pace for 2 min and 10:30 pace for 1 min. Just an example. If you could have those options that would be awesome!

### 5/5 — Great app, would be useful if there were additional types for cycling

*2020-06-17*

Great app, would be useful if there were additional types to include cycling so I didn’t have to keep changing my running pace up for cycling then back down again for my next run.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, glad you’re enjoying PaceSetter! Will look into adding a cycling option. Hills have a greater effect on cycling pace - we will need to silence pace warnings when going up/down steep inclines.

### 5/5 — Simple is Great!

*2019-03-02*

Love it... any chance it can have a heart rate monitoring added on the next version update?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Hope Pace-Setter is helping to improve your running. Heart rate monitoring would be a great feature, we’ll see if we can include it.
