Running app with pace alert?

I am looking for a running app with a pacer feature on it. The kind that beeps if you've set a target pace and you're above or below it... I know there are watches that do it, but I don't want to spend $100, if there's an app that does the same thing.

Runkeeper has a "Pace" workout, but it doesn't communicate during the run. MapMyFitness doesn't seem to have an alert either.

I have an android device - I realize that might make a difference.

Thanks!

    If I'm understanding you correctly - map my run can be set to announce your pace every 0.25 miles. It's not exactly what you're after but it might be close enough - and it's free :smiley:

    runkeeper can be set to tell you your pace when it gives you the other reminders/alerts

    Have you looked at Strava or Mapmyrun?

    I'm still getting used to Strava, but every mile it announces your mileage and pace during the run. Works great for me since I set ZR to go by distance and I like having something tell me how far I've gone since ZR won't lol.

    ismoothrun does what you want. You set a target pace and it will tell you to speed up/slow down during the interval. It's my favorite running app and I've tried pretty much all of them

    will that integrate with a heart rate strap? tbh i'm probably going to get it anyway because nothing else will work with intervals and pace cues, just curious.

    It will if it's a bluetooth strap. Most aren't though. Most use ANT+, which phones don't know how to read. What kind of phone and strap do you have?
