## What is PaceGrid?

A run and ride tracker that works offline, keeps every workout on your phone and never asks for a subscription. PaceGrid records GPS, pace, splits and heart rate on iPhone and Apple Watch, with Bluetooth chest straps, offline maps and saved routes.

RECORD YOUR WORKOUT
Follow distance, pace, time and splits. Review your route and elevation afterwards, or record from Apple Watch without carrying your phone.

CONNECT YOUR HEART RATE
Pair a compatible Bluetooth heart-rate strap from the Record screen. PaceGrid uses fresh strap readings during recording and makes connection problems clear. Supported smart rings add heart-rate, sleep and recovery data. Device features vary by model.

SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE
Explore training load, heart-rate zones, workout trends and recovery estimates. These estimates help you interpret your history; they do not diagnose conditions or guarantee injury prevention.

PLAN AND SHARE
Save routes, use offline maps, export GPX files and optionally sync with Strava. Apple Health integration is optional. You choose which connected services receive your data.

TRY THE FULL APP
Try all features for 7 days. Basic recording remains free afterwards, or unlock the full app with one purchase. No subscription.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly Good

*2026-08-22*

I was skeptical when I saw it was new and only had a single rating, but I was looking for a run tracking app with no subscription offering, which is hard to find. This one has no subscription and is great. It’s fast and full of features and statistics. I feel like I found a diamond in the rough.

### 5/5 — no support for chest straps

*2026-07-25*

please fix. Swapped to Runance instead.

**Developer response:** Thanks David, and sorry we let you down. Chest strap support is back: since version 1.1.7, PaceGrid connects to standard Bluetooth heart-rate chest straps. Open the Device tab to pair yours, and your heart rate shows live during runs and rides. If the strap drops out mid-run, PaceGrid now keeps reconnecting until it is back. We would love you to give it another go, and if your strap gives you any trouble, email us at blueflamegames@proton.me and we will sort it out.

### 5/5 — Goodbye Strava

*2026-05-13*

All data on the phone my precious only for me to use. Plus no subscription, I hate this new world of subscriptions let me pay for it once and be done with it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.2 — 2026-10-10

A small tune-up behind the scenes. Nothing you'd notice on a run, which is exactly how we like it.

Same runs, same routes, same offline maps, and your data still never leaves your phone. Lace up.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-03

Short workout distances now display the correct unit on iPhone and Apple Watch: metres or feet before switching to kilometres or miles, with no duplicate unit labels. Explore more games and apps from Blue Flame Games from Activities or Settings.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-28

PaceGrid 1.2.0 - a fresh coat of paint and a long list of things we'd rather you forgot:

- A whole new look: dark mode that follows your phone, new artwork from the first screen to your sleep chart, and real medals for your achievements. It no longer looks like a spreadsheet in running shoes.
- Ran through a tunnel? GPS used to sulk and stop counting for the rest of the run. It now carries on when you come out the other side.
- Deleting the first run you ever did on a route simply didn't happen. It does now.
- Apple Watch runs now get personal records, splits and matched routes on your iPhone, just like runs recorded on the phone.
- Pool swims on Apple Watch now record your distance instead of a proud 0 m.
- Grade-adjusted pace was upside down: climbs looked slower and descents faster. We flipped it the right way up.
- The recovery countdown now actually counts down, instead of telling you on Friday to rest for Sunday's run.
- Training plans stopped counting your bike rides as running miles. A 45 km easy run in week one was a bit much.
- Heart-rate zones now use your own max heart rate, not the workout you just finished.
- Your coach learned that it's "1 day", not "1 days", and the elevation chart stopped spilling down the page.
- Ring sleep no longer appears twice in Apple Health after a reinstall, and the Device tab now has a way out when your ring is nowhere to be found.
- Gear tracking works: pick a default shoe or bike and the distance adds up on its own.
- GPX, FIT and TCX imports are much harder to break, including zipped Strava exports.
- Saved routes now show their shape, and the "PEAK RUN" badge finally reads like a real sentence in every language.

### 1.1.8 — 2026-09-20

Updated for iOS 27 with compatibility and reliability improvements.

### 1.1.7 — 2026-09-05

• Bluetooth heart-rate straps now connect from the Record screen. Your strap can finally join the workout.
• Fresh strap readings take priority; disconnected or stale readings stop pretending to be live.
• Pairing, reconnecting and forgetting sensors now give clearer feedback.
• The welcome screen explains the 7-day trial and basic recording more clearly.
