### 5/5 — RunBeat.  Awesome.

*2026-09-05*

I tried several other apps that claim to do the same. None of them come close to this one.  It allows me to focus on my Zone 2 training. I had several questions and feedback to the developer and he got back to me immediately.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2026-04-28*

I truly had no idea how consistently off my Zone 2 pace I was. App was unobtrusive and worked great. 10 stars!

**Developer response:** Love it. Glad we could help you dial in your zone 2 runs!

### 5/5 — Awesome for HITT

*2026-04-05*

I used to use a manual timer on the wall for interval training, but it was a bit of a hassle to constantly be looking up or having to go over there and make adjustments. I like this app because it seamlessly notifies you of when to switch based off your customized schedule. The ability to tie in music as well is a really cool feature! Would recommend!

**Developer response:** Glad we could upgrade your interval training setup. Thanks for the recommendation!

### 5/5 — Awesome app
