Run Tempo - Runners Metronome App Reviews

My wife and both like this new app! Easy to set up an we like that you can also play music. It would be nice to have a way to toggle between two paces? 165 as the low setting and 175 for example. So you can do Interval & Fartleks??

It took me quite some time to find a cadence app that would act like a metronome, play in the background while other apps run, and can be set to the pace I want. This is it!

I usually run with music selected for specific BPM, but wanted to be able to run with an audiobook sometimes. This app beeps in the cadence I select, without interfering with what Im listening to. I think Id like a deeper tone beep, but overall I am thrilled with how this works.

Drains Battery constantly even when not in use.

Not sure why such a simple app drains my battery even when its not in use.

I liked Run Tempo until I found out how badly it drained my battery. It consumed the same amount of power as all my other apps combined! Apparently, it didnt even have to be on to use up 51% of my battery charge. There is something seriously wrong with this app.

I wanted to exercise while I listen to audio books but I always slow down while listening to books.this app helps me keep pace while I exercise and listen to my books. Awesome!

Training good my first marathon and my running coach recommended a 160 tempo to prevent injury. This is perfect for me, it plays in the background if you want to use your own playlist, but I find the rhythm easier to follow without music. It doesnt interfere with my mapping apps which is a huge plus. To save battery I blacken the screen when in use and set the timer. Highly recommend!

This app will count your cadence but will also drain your battery doing background tasks. Skip it. Definitely not one to pay for.

And it works !!! Must have for runner enthusiast

Good, solid app. Liked the links to running articles. Simple and reliable, great for cadence training!

Overall the app will work as advertised, except for the fact that it will drain your battery significantly. Make sure to kill the app after each use.

Great, simple to use app. Helped me greatly to develop proper cadence for my runs. Its simple and it works. I give it 5 stars.

This app constantly drained my battery so that my phone died several times on runs less than an hour in length. If you are not using any other app maybe it can work for you. I wanted it for my first marathon, and it barely lasted through a 10k. Very disappointed. Also, there is no option to turn off running in the background, so as another reviewer pointed out, it drains the battery even when you aren’t using it.

Works perfect and keeps me on pace all while I can listen to my favorite music!

If you have iPhone dont waste your buck this app drains your battery even when not using it, and no reply when trying to contact developer.

Pro Metronome, a free app, offers the same utility of a metronome overlaid on whatever other audio youve got playing.
