## What is Simple Pace?

Distance, time, pace and speed, always in sync. Change any one and the others follow. A lock holds the value you care about while you work out the rest.

On a relay team, or waiting for a runner at a race? ETA tells you the clock time they reach you, with a live countdown that carries on to the Lock Screen and up to three alerts. Tap when they arrive and the leg is saved with the pace they really ran.

FREE
• Four linked calculators: tap any value to edit it, tap a unit to switch between miles and kilometers. Every row keeps its own units.
• Race distances built in: 400 m, 5k, 10k, half-marathon, marathon, and ultras from 50k to 100 miles.
• Share card: send your distance, time and pace as an image.
• Make it yours: light or dark, eight accent colors with matching app icons or the Multicolor theme that gives distance, time, pace, and speed each their own color, reorderable sections, and the Classic interface if you prefer it.
• Accessibility: VoiceOver, Voice Control, Dynamic Type, Sufficient Contrast and Reduced Motion.
• All calculations work offline. Seven languages.

PRO (one-time purchase, no subscription)
• Splits: plan even, negative or positive splits at any interval from 100 m to 10 miles, by halves, thirds, quarters or fifths, or an interval of your own, then export the table.
• ETA: made for relay exchanges and race spectators. Each runner gets a card with the arrival clock time, a live countdown, estimated progress, up to three alerts and a note. The countdown also runs on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and as a badge on the main screen. Tap They are here to save the leg with the pace actually run; finished legs stay in a list you can edit and share.

Bought the app during the paid period (October 2024 to February 2025)? Pro is already yours.

### 5/5 — Does what I want

*2026-08-25*

Great app and love that it is from and independent developer

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words!

### 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*

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!

### 1/5 — What happened

*2025-05-05*

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

**Developer response:** Bummer! What's not working for you? Sending me feedback through the app settings is the easiest way to get in touch with me.

### 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.

### 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.

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

*2024-11-26*

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!

**Developer response:** I’m sorry you don’t like the updates, but thank you for the feedback. The original app was released over 10 years ago and was getting difficult to maintain. You should be able to do everything in the latest version, as easily or easier, than in the original. If there is anything specific I can do to make the new version better for the way you use the app, please send me feedback from within the app and I’d be happy to do what I can.

BTW, it’s just me. No team. No corporate owners. I’m just a runner who is trying to make the best pace calculator, so any constructive feedback really does help.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-11-19*

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.

### 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.
