stops after apple watch split announcements
it stops after apple watch split announcements during a workout and doesn’t automatically resume. Also would be nice to have a vibration/haptic mode for runners listening to music.
Just a metronome
This is just a metronome program. There is nothing that makes it stand out for running or jogging. You can get free ones that do the same thing (Fender Tuner has a metronome, for example). It is nice that it doesn’t collect any data, so it might be worth it to you to pay for that. It’s certainly not very expensive.

Perfect
I have used other apps in the running space and none of them have helped me fundamentally like this one. Highly recommend for newbies
Doesnt work with Youtube app
Can’t get the two apps to play simultaneously. Turns out a free metronome app does exactly what Runtempo says it does
Cadence
I’ve been trying to increase my running cadence as it’s so beneficial. Purchased this app and used for the first time yesterday to help me keep at a 180 cadence. What a game changer. A simple app that does what it should. Easy to select a beat tone, speed and adjust volume while still using my Runna app.
Worth the one off payment, thanks 🏃🏻♂️

Terrible garbage app
It shuts off as soon as you start running. The sound is very quiet. This app absolutely sucks
Apple Watch limitations not disclosed
Update to my earlier negative review: I restarted my AW Ultra v1 and RunTempo works fine now, with Apple music and the native Apple Fitness workouts all working together. One minor glitch is that the metronome turns off when interrupted by some of Apple’s in-run announcements of splits, etc., and requires restarting. However after extensive research and trialling of metronome solutions for the Apple Watch and Garmin, I can now say that RunTempo is the only one that works nearly seamlessly. I also appreciated the support from Barry after my initial comments.

No BS runners metronome
I was looking for exactly this app. Something that just plays the metronome beat in the background without interfering with any other media playback. It just does the metronome thing and does it without any distractions. Perfect to fix my running cadence.
Response from developer
Thanks so much for taking the time to review RunTempo and I'm really glad it's doing what you need it to do!
What I was looking for except....
Exactly what I was looking for, can when offline without phone, can play simultaneously with Spotify working in the background but audio level too low. Already at full volume but it is being overpowered by Spotify podcast audio. Hope futore updates can increase volume limit.
Volume turned all the way up on watch FYI
Update: developers listened and updated the app. Volume is now great!

Works well
Just started running and wanted something to help me run consistently and this app seems to fit the brief.
Two things would improve it massively. 1 allow the Watch crown to turn up the volume.
2 enable haptic feedback as hearing the beep is hard. Then use the crown to increase the haptic strength. Would definitely give a star for each

The Secret to Better Runs
I can’t overstate how much RunTempo has improved my running! The metronome keeps my cadence steady, so my form is better and my performance is up. I used to tweak my playlist to chase the right tempo, but now I just set my cadence and go—no fuss, no learning curve. The latest update even lets the Watch app run audio in the background. Highly recommend for runners of all levels who want something effective and straightforward to use.

Awesome app
I’ve been struggling with cadence on all my runs, tried Garmin watch metronome but it won’t play through headphones so pretty much useless, ran 5 miles yesterday at 144bpm, bought this app last night and ran the same 5 miles today using the app set slightly louder than my music, saw an instant improvement at 156bpm, long way to go to get 170+ bpm but this app will definitely help me achieve it.

Simple to use, ideal for running
Exactly what I needed for helping to improve running cadence
Needs background play on watch
The app works great and does what you expect.
Can’t play in the background with music on Apple Watch though. so you’ll need your phone if you want that while running.

Serious limitations for runners!
There is only one choice of high/low sound and it is an annoying “beep” instead of a percussive tone. There is a time limit of 120 minutes so if you’re wanting to use this to pace a longer run (marathon) you’re out of luck. Sorry I dropped $2 on this one. Will be requesting a refund immediately.
Love simplicity but lacks ability to change tone of beat
One simple edition can make this app, super valuable by just allowing the ability to change the beat tone or allow for uploading a tone
Has an Apple Watch app but can’t play sound on it
I expected this app to be able to show a tempo on my watch app without having to have AirPods hooked up. This is not the case, and should be mentioned in the description.
This app is useless to me seconds after I paid for it.

A great training partner
Amazing app - use it on every run.
One request: could you please expose the app’s functionality to Shortcuts? It would be great to be able to start a playlist and the app at the same time. Thanks!
