User Reviews

PaceDJ is praised for using your own music to pace workouts and its simple, customizable BPM controls that boost motivation. However, users repeatedly report major downsides: it often plays only a handful of songs from a large library, is unstable with crashes after iOS updates, and has shifted to a subscription model that undermines previously purchased features while introducing ads. Additional complaints include imperfect BPM shifting and incomplete library scanning. Overall, strong concept and potential, but persistent reliability and pricing issues hinder broad adoption.

Pros

Uses your own music library to pace workouts with BPM shifting
Simple, customizable BPM pacing that is effective for treadmill/elliptical workouts
Motivates runners and reduces workout boredom by providing dynamic music pacing
Developers are attentive and fix bugs, leading to smoother performance after updates
Rich feature set with many options and smart song matching

Cons

Only a small subset (3-5) of songs from playlists are played, despite large libraries
Frequent crashes and instability, including startup crashes after iOS updates
Shift to a subscription model with loss of legacy features and introduction of ads
Ads disrupt playback and require interaction during workouts
Inconsistent BPM shifting and incomplete or unreliable library scanning

Recent reviews

Two years ago someone pointed out a major flaw and two years later it hasn’t been fixed. The app only plays 3-4 songs from your playlist-no matter how many songs are on the list. Stay away.

Used a lot of BPM apps, so far the best!

I was really excited to try this out. But on my first try the app kept shutting down, they played the same music from my playlist, and for the interval section they didn’t seem to switch BPMs to the moderate and high BPM level. I’m really disappointed. I will try it a couple more times and then give up.
