Shear Pace is a sheep shearing productivity app which is focused on improving tallies by eliminating the need for the shearer to think about their time. The Shear Pace App is a productivity tool for sheep shearers, eliminating the need for both the tally counter and clock.  It takes care of the maths, giving ongoing and constant feedback in relation to shearing speed as well as tallies and run time. You do goal setting once at the beginning of the day, and you can focus on your technique and therefore, speed, knowing that the app is keeping track of everything else. How it works - look at your sheep, decide on your goal tally, tap in the day length, and Shear Pace will tell you how fast you need to go per sheep. Tap the screen after every sheep as you would a tally counter, and it counts your tally as well as keeping track of your speed for every sheep - this leaves you free to think about your technique, and not working out how many you did in the last quarter hour. This is the free version. From this you are able to upgrade to the paid "Shed version" - this is $9.99 NZD. The upgrade version "Shear Pace - Shed Version", which allows you to work out how fast you need to shear for a full day tally is available for purchase, and you are also able to purchase a monthly subscription "Ringer Version" for $4.99 allows you to save and review your data. If you do not have this subscription, this data will be lost. I want this to be a great app, so please if you have any queries or ideas for improvements, please contact me via the contact page in the app. ## Key features - Automated time tracking - Real-time speed feedback - Tally counting - Daily goal setting - Data saving and review (with subscription) - Calculates required speed per sheep ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Ringer subscription | $2.99 | one-time | | Shear Pace Shed Version | $6.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (1 of 1) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shear-pace/id1095606123/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2016-04-12* Great app found my tallies going up as I was challenging myself more trying to get my average time per sheep down , will definitely be using this all the time , ## Frequently asked questions about Shear Pace ### What is Shear Pace?
