Tonight I sat down and produced a new version of PaceMan. I have now added the ability to convert from you pace to race distance. It is the sort of thing that is fairly hard to do on a calculator as there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour.

PaceMan is my least popular app at the moment. It trails behind even Monster Match and that only has a 2 star rating on the market place. To be fair PaceMan has had a lot less time spent on it and really amounts to a few evenings hunched over the keyboard.

Hopefully this update will give PaceMan a gentle push in the right direction
 
 
I have posted an little update to Days Until. It does not add much in the way of features I am afraid. About a week ago when I decided to start work on an update I took a look at the app and wanted to change lots of things about it.


I tidied up the main screen to make it look a little nicer and fixed a bug in the "fire" bars may made then draw incorrectly for large numbers.


The preferences were also a little non mobile like. To be honest they look more like they belonged on a desktop program rather than a mobile app. I created a new screen for them and consolidated the options to make them accessible from one screen.  I hope you like the new look of them


The next update will contain more features. I am reading the comments and planning on implementing much of what is being requested. As I see it here are the most requested features in no specific order
  1. Different themes for the display
  2. Multiple countdowns, both storing and displaying
  3. Setting the exact time.

All of these features I definitely want to implement it just takes some time and they wont make it into the next release, although one might. I have to juggle working on Days Until with updating my other apps and attempting to create new apps and eventually some new games

This little app is really itching an itch for myself. Running is my sport of choice and I occasional run a marathon. Having a little app that converts my run times into my average pace is something I just had to write. 


I admit I love mental arithmetic so enjoy attempting to do these calculations in my head but it is always good to have an app to check my often wrong estimate 


This is going to be another app like day of the week that does not garner much the way of downloads but I don't mind too much.
