Currently not working

This app has been great until recently when there was a glitch, so I deleted and redownloaded the app. Since then it crashes every time I try to load my Apple Music library and is telling me to renew my subscription when I already have one. I’ve messaged the developers and heard nothing back, not impressed.

Used to be great, now everything’s locked

I used to use this app all the time, but suddenly everything’s behind paywalls

Developer won’t update major issue

Two years ago someone pointed out
a major flaw and two years later it hasn’t been fixed. The app only plays 3-4 songs from your playlist-no matter how many songs are on the list.

Stay away.

Solid app!

I’ve been trying to accomplish something similar just with Apple Music and a smart playlist, but apparently Apple doesn’t include BPM info by default. With a little bit of tweaking from the default on-boarding settings this app has easily become essential to my runs.

Perfect for walking or running to

Set it to 120 for a brisk walk and it picks all the right tracks - I love it!
This is the only app that does what I want

Awesome app

Used a lot of BPM apps, so far the best!

Glitches

I was really excited to try this out. But on my first try the app kept shutting down, they played the same music from my playlist, and for the interval section they didn’t seem to switch BPMs to the moderate and high BPM level. I’m really disappointed. I will try it a couple more times and then give up.

WAY BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION

This is the best app in the App Store for athletes who want a simple, customizable way to use your own music to set the pace of their workouts. I’ve tried WeaveRun and RockMyRun and they don’t compare. With a little tweaking to improve control integration with Bluetooth, Bluetooth his app will earn six stars with me. Thanks for a great workout tool!

Subscription crashes

Come back when you can make an app that works

Great app

This is a great app and definitely worth the small monthly price if you work out regularly. It makes a big difference for me when on the treadmill or elliptical— much less boring and easier to keep my pace. I had some issues initially, but the developers were extremely attentive and helpful and fixed all the bugs. Now it is very smooth.

The all mighty dollar

Such a brilliant idea for the app. In the past these features were available (eg BPM Shifting ) for free or with ads or a one time fee — not a subscription. And now we need a subscription for anything useful. Glad you care so much about the almighty dollar rather than your consumers.

Great idea-major bug

This app has such potential except for one thing. It only plays 4 or five songs off of the Playlist chosen! The list has many more songs on it, but only a very few play over and over.
Please help!!!

Crashes after iOS14

This app doenst work anymore after upgrading to iOS14. It try to open but crashes... please review and fix it.
Thanks!

Customizable and easy to use

I love how smart this app is and how I can keep my motivation high by running to the music in my own library. I also love how it finds songs that I’ve not listened to in a while. A great app for runners wanting to change the routine a bit!

Can’t sync app

It keeps telling me it needs permission to motion and fitness but it’s not an option in settings.

App Knee Capped in iOS 13

I used to use this app religiously last year, when it apparently worked fine on iOS 12. All songs got scanned, and my playlists were always at least 50 songs long. Now under iOS 13, the app fails to scan my music library about half way through and it can only play a dozen songs. All of my music is local to my device and I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Shame.

Excellent app - my running soulmate!

Takes a while to configure and get to grips with but well worth it. Legs, breathing and songs all naturally synchronised makes everything feel easier. My favourite app!

Great App but Ads hurt its usefulness

New Review:
Obviously the app was better before the ads but it still does what’s intended. I’ve merely adjusted my running to make it work. Due to an issue with the app I had to shuffle all my songs which... wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. Still the app does exactly what you’d expect & has a ton of options available.

Original review:
I’ve posted on FB, sent a tweet, & messaged the Dev through their website. Version 2.3.1 & 2.3.2 crash upon opening on an iPhone 11 Pro on iOS 13.1.3.

I even uninstalled the app & then it worked... temporarily. After force closing the app after it reuploaded my song list the crashing returned. Crashes on opening!

Edit 1: In response to the developer I’ve used the “contact us” form on their website to send more detailed information. I cannot enable or send a log as the app ALWAYS crashes upon opening it.

Edit 2: I did another uninstall & rebooted the phone, then reinstalled, opened the app, got my tempo uploaded & then closed the app. Crashing upon opening returned. I rebooted my phone a second time... it works! Never did get a response from the developer via email.

Response from developer

Tario70 - For some reason we haven't received your messages. Could you send us your log file from PaceDJ? You can activate the log function in settings, and send the file from settings as well. We'd like to fix the problem.

App quits or won’t work

I used the app subscription for three days and then the app kept closing and wouldn’t work. Cancelled !!

Great app! Love it

I’m really loving the app so much so that I would totally pay for the subscription if it was able to be linked to Fitbit or other step devices. The step counter on here is not accurate to “my” movement. 5 stars if this feature was added. And also will buy subscription if so.
