Pros and cons of Run Tempo - Runners Metronome app for iPhone and iPad
Run Tempo - Runners Metronome app good for
So simple. Pick your tempo press play and it goes, adjust on the fly and it goes in the background of your music. Perfect.
Ive been a fan of cadence work for a while, but until now I had to rely on tediously constructed playlists. Now I turn this on in the background and go
Overall does exactly what u want it to do. I found starting this first then your music works best. But only 4 stars for me if u get a call or pause your music only your music or run tempo will start back up. Unless you get your phone out to start both again. But in saying that if u want a metronome and music this works well.
I love this app! I got this for my first half marathon and it is amazing. The beats do not over power my music but are still easy to focus on while running to the sound of my personal musical selections. I can use this app on the treadmill or the trails with no extra effort. I have an iPhone 6 and with my music, mapmyrun, and run tempo working together my battery life lasted for 3.5 hours.
Im very pleased!
Tried out several apps to improve the running cadence. This is one definitly the best: saves the cadence over different sessions and, best of all, runs in the background. You can use a running app simultanously and switch of the screen, choose between different sound and control volume. Great cadence range up 180 bpm. All in all: to be highly recommended
Just the app I needed. Works perfectly with podcasts and runkeeper running cues.
Some bad moments
This app drains the battery in no time even when its not in use, leaving my phone with zero battery power. I finally resorted to deleting the app after each run, then reinstalling it before the next. Im searching for a better app.
Glad to find a simple and effective app I can use to improve my run cadance. A friend and avid runner, who uses this app, recommended it to me. Good job.
Exactly what I wanted. I can listen to music while ensuring that my running cadence is perfect!!
I could be rhythmically challenged and this is the best metronome product Ive used to keep my running cadence up.
Simple, nothing fancy, plays in the background while listening to my music also while the phone is locked.
Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Simple, clean, useful. I am a cross country and track coach, and this is a great training tool for my runners who lumber along, putting themselves at risk of injury and falling short of their potential. Great app. Thanks for keeping it inexpensive, also!
