Review summary

The Pace Control app is widely praised for its ease of use and strong pacing features that help users hit targets from 5k to half-marathon and parkrun. Reviewers highlight voice prompts, negative splits, interval pacing, route/time tracking, and the fact that it’s free. However, multiple users report GPS problems, occasional unreliability in recording, and limited Strava syncing, with feature requests like delimiter alarms or a metronome. Overall, a versatile pacing tool with some GPS reliability caveats.

Pros

Easy to use with a simple interface.
Helps you pace and improve performance across distances (PBs, parkrun, 5k–10k).
Rich pacing features: custom voice prompts, negative splits, interval pacing, route and split tracking.
Great for training consistency and motivation; widely used for years and across long-term use.
Free to use.

Cons

GPS tracking accuracy issues, especially early kilometers or GPS signal problems.
Occasional unreliability: stops recording or fails to save workouts.
Inability to directly sync to Strava and occasional GPS signal alerts.
Requests for extra features like delimiter alarms or a metronome.
