## What is PaceNow?

Know your pace right now, not just your average. PaceNow's proprietary algorithm reads your steps and GPS together and updates with every step, two to three times a second, so the number follows a change in speed in about one to two seconds.

THE PROBLEM
Built-in fitness tracking on iPhone shows your average pace. Many watches and running apps do show a live pace, but they work it out mostly from GPS, so it lags: by the time the number catches up, you have already sped up or slowed down. That makes it hard to hold a target pace, run intervals or pace a negative split by the numbers.

THE FIX
PaceNow shows your pace as it is right now. Its proprietary algorithm reads your steps as well as GPS, so when you push the pace up or ease off, the number follows in about one to two seconds instead of several seconds later. No watch required, just your iPhone.

FEATURES
• True live pace in min/km or min/mi, in big digits you can read at a glance
• Proprietary step-and-GPS algorithm: updates with every step, and follows a change in speed in about one to two seconds
• Choose how the number refreshes: every step for the fastest response, or every 1 or 2 seconds for a steadier display
• Distance and time at a glance
• Run summary with your average pace when you finish
• Screen stays on while you run
• A GPS indicator tells you when you have a good signal
• Light and dark appearance, VoiceOver support, English and Simplified Chinese

HOW IT WORKS
GPS alone is slow to react and jumpy. Your steps tell PaceNow the moment your speed changes, and GPS keeps the number honest over time.

BEST WAY TO CARRY IT
Keep your iPhone in a waist pack or in your hand. If PaceNow can't pick up your steps (for example in a pocket), it falls back to GPS pace.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No ads. No tracking. Your location and motion data are processed on your iPhone and never leave it. PaceNow does not save your runs.

PaceNow needs Location and Motion & Fitness access to calculate your pace. For the most accurate speed, allow Precise Location.
