Steady Pace holds your target running pace with sound. You set a pace, and a tone rises when you run slow and falls when you run fast, so you hold it without watching a screen. It is a one-time purchase and makes no network connections. TRACKING GPS is fused with your phone's accelerometer and outlier points are filtered out, so it keeps tracking when the signal drops under a bridge. Spikes and dropouts get filtered instead of wrecking the recording. PRIVACY No account, because there is no server. The app makes no network connections at all. Every route is shifted so the coordinates on your phone do not match where you ran. (With no effect on statistics) CUSTOMIZATION Over 30 settings to fully configure your training. Set a goal pace from real world records, pick from your iPhone's voices, and tune the coaching to taste. PRICE One purchase. No tiers, no renewals, nothing added later behind a paywall.
