Description by PBkSoft (from Google Play)
KNOW AND CONTROL YOUR PACE.
• Would you like to improve the quality of your running training and run at exactly the right pace?
• During a race, do you feel like you're running too slowly, while in fact you start too fast and end up too tired to finish within your planned time?
• Would you like to run using the negative split strategy, but find it too difficult to calculate and monitor your split times?
• Have you ever dreamed of running together with an experienced pacemaker?
• Have you ever wanted to race against a friend who lives far away and is difficult to meet in person?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, Pace Control might be exactly what you're looking for!

***
If Pace Control does not track or save your run correctly, make sure battery optimization is disabled for the app in Android settings.

Comments on Pace Control - running pacer for Android

★★★★★ Brion T · Apr 17, 2026
Does exactly what it says without the annoyance of ads. Have been using it to help control my pace to train for a half-marathon and have had no qualms.
★★★★★ Neil Roberts · Aug 18, 2023
Great little app to help with pacing my runs for various different goals, my only issue is I can figure out how to use the remote race option. Otherwise, this is a fantastic training aid what ever your running aims.
★★★★★ Sarah B · Mar 9, 2026
Amazing app. I've used it for years to track my pace for my 5k and 10k runs. It has helped me become faster on 5k runs, and gain better endurance on 10k runs. The only perhaps negative thing is that I wished the GPS tracking was a bit better at tracking my 1st kilometer sometimes. It tends to think I am going too fast or too slow compared to my real pace, and then settles for the rest of the run. Otherwise, amazing app and it's free!
★☆☆☆☆ Paolo Campagnolo · Apr 11, 2025
Terrible experience. The pace alerts for red so fast it sounds like Mickey Mouse on cocaine
★☆☆☆☆ Dj Smithsonian · Mar 23, 2026
Wasn't effective at tracking my run or pacing.
★☆☆☆☆ James Ortmann · Oct 5, 2025
This said that I ran 3.32 km in 23 minutes which I ran faster than I 5 km pace when I ran with this app
★☆☆☆☆ No No · Jul 16, 2023
No longer tacks anything. Run for an hour, 0kms.
