### 5/5 — jpw1978

*2020-01-14, version 2.1.1*

Every runner needs this app unless your a maths genius.

### 5/5 — First and ONLY time I’ll ever review an app

*2019-11-07, version 2.1.1*

This app is brilliant. Does exactly what you want, is easy to use, is fast and accurate - it’s FREE and has NO ADVERTS. The developer said h made it in his spare time as a hobby. Well, thank you. It’s been a really useful tool and quite frankly, you really should be making some money out of it. No hesitations in giving 5 stars and I have never been bothered to write any reviews before. Thanks again.

### 5/5 — I wish all apps were like this

*2019-10-01, version 2.1.1*

The only review I have ever felt compelled to write. This app does just what it should and nothing else. My hats off to whatever humble genius is behind it :)

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-05-25, version 2.1.1*

Simple, free, exactly what I need

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-05-03, version 2.1.1*

A no-nonsense app that’s easy to use and well designed. I love it. Thanks for making this.

### 5/5 — Essential app for competitive runner

*2019-02-10, version 2.1.1*

The brilliantly simple app makes working out pace calculations a breeze. If you’re going to run a half marathon and want to know what pace you’ll need for a sub 1.30, this app can tell you. Conversely, you can enter a pace and distance, it’ll tell you the time. In fact you can set any of distance, pace, time or speed, and it’ll work it the other values. 

Truly an essential app for the keen runner!

To the developer, thanks for making a truly useful app 😀

### 5/5 — Excellent pace calculator

*2019-01-29, version 2.1.1*

Very user friendly and intuitive to use, love it!

### 5/5 — It's like a pace calculator that's simple

*2018-07-15, version 2.1.0*

It does one thing. It does it well. It doesn't try to get me to buy anything. Win, win, win!

1. Enter the distance. Tap to toggle miles vs km.
2. Type in the hours (if any), minutes, and seconds.
3. View your pace (and speed).
Bonus: you can directly edit your pace to see the corresponding time for that distance!

Suggested improvement: I think it might be more convenient for some users to have spinny wheels to enter the hours, minutes, and seconds, and also to subsequently edit the pace to see a revised time.
3.

### 5/5 — Nice and simple

*2015-01-11, version 2.1.0*

Very nice app. Simple. Easy to use. No in app purchases or updates needed. Perfect for me.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — What happened

*2025-05-05, version 5.0.4*

I used to love this app. It doesn’t work anymore. Major bummer

### 1/5 — Was a good app but new update made it trash

*2024-11-26, version 4.1.2*

It was the best app at calculating paces and converting between miles and kms; but, the new update added a ton of extra useless stuff. Now its messy, complicated, ugly and confusing. The one thing it was good for it wont do easily no more. If there were any app awards for WORST update you guys would win it in a heartbeat. I logged back into the app store just to review this trash that you came up with. Slow applause for the designer and dev team that took a great product and made it useless. Congrats!

### 1/5 — Lap times

*2024-11-18, version 4.1.2*

Can no longer work out lap times (0.4km) as the time disappears when Changing to a distance <1

### 1/5 — New update makes this less user friendly.

*2024-11-15, version 4.1.1*

This was a really good app. You could select a load of different race distances or put your own in and easily find out your pace. The update has just made it confusing and really not intuitive to use.

### 2/5 — NA

*2024-12-10, version 4.1.2*

Really loved the original app for it being so simple and easy to use. The new update made a great and useful app unintuitive and overcomplicated.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for non Americans

*2020-10-25, version 2.1.1*

If your decimal separator is a comma, the app doesn’t work since it doesn’t recognizes it when entering a distance (and the presented keyboard  has only the comma key and not a dot)

### 3/5 — Too simple

*2020-06-23, version 2.1.1*

This app is great for calculating pace on longer distances, but I cannot get it to adjust for quarter miles or meters. You must know the fraction of a mile or kilometer for this to work(extra beer math in between intervals), and even then it won’t take “.25” miles...it will automatically switch to “.30” miles and calculate for the incorrect distance.

### 5/5 — Does what I want

*2026-08-25, version 5.5.0*

Great app and love that it is from and independent developer

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-10-08, version 5.1.2*

Very easy to use, gets used more or less every day

### 5/5 — Still a great app

*2025-05-12, version 5.1.0*

I’m not sure why other people are complaining about the update — you can still use the old version if you go to settings.

The new version lets you do bidirectional conversions, and is a big step up. 

I use this app all the time for training, it’s great!

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-06, version 4.2.1*

The old version was a lot better but this one is ok. 
I’ll still use it but wish I never updated to version.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-11-19, version 4.1.2*

I wish there were more apps like this out there. It’s simple and does exactly what I want. Does try to sell me anything else, doesn’t want access to my contacts. Perfect.

### 5/5 — It is simple

*2024-11-09, version 4.1.1*

I really like how simple this app is and works perfect for figuring out pace. I do enjoy this app

### 5/5 — Lovely and simple

*2023-11-21, version 3.0.1*

So many apps are ruined by feature bloat and over complication. Not this one! Super useful.

One slight frustration (as a European) is that it defaults units to miles after I close the app - I use KM. it’s very simple to switch back, but I do with it remembered my preference.

### 5/5 — Simply great!

*2022-03-19, version 3.0.1*

It’s a must have app for runners. How is it not 5 stars? What else do you want it to do?

### 5/5 — Simple, effective

*2020-08-26, version 2.1.1*

Large display of distance, time, pace and speed.

### 5/5 — Nice and simple app

*2020-04-21, version 2.1.1*

Does exactly what it claims, a good app. For further improvements it would benefit from an adjustable font size as you have to scroll up to see speed, and whilst it doesn’t need it, a slider to change each value as an alternative to typing might be a nice feature :-)
