Good app!

Good app 😉

Wow

This little bad boy app has slashed my time into a fraction of what it was. I used to run with my wife but now when I'm running alone with power music in my ears, I can double my pace.

Good motivator

It's a bit harsh to just stop the music if you run too slow, but it definitely motivates you to keep the pace. Might be better if the volume drops slowly.

Nice

I think it's got really nice concept to use music to track your pace! Nice! 👍

perfect pace keeper!

the idea combining music and running in a different way astonished me! 5 stars for the great work!
