Walk smarter and burn more calories with the Japanese Walking method! Paceriva app runs in the background, tracks your progress, and integrates with Apple Health.
Japanese walking turns your steps into a fat-burning workout with interval walking, alternating fast and slow paces. Boost cardio and lose weight more effectively than regular walking.
Classic Japanese Walking method: walk fast for 3 minutes, then slow for 3 minutes, and repeat this cycle for 5 rounds. It turns ordinary steps into short, purposeful intervals that fit any schedule. Follow fast-then-easy cycles to elevate your daily walk, build stamina, and stay motivated — no gym required.
Paceriva app is an interval timer for walking smarter - it notifies you when to switch between fast and slow pace, making the cardio training easy and distraction-free. It works as a calorie counter and a fitness companion, so you can use this data to manage your weight loss.
Here's what you could expect from these workouts:
Boost Energy – Quick pace surges wake up body and mind.
Boost Cardio – Alternating speeds gently train heart and lungs.
Boost Motivation – Real-time cues keep every session engaging.
Boost Consistency – Short workouts slip into busy calendars.

I came across this app through a recommendation from Claude when I wasn’t happy with another app I was using. Thank you, AI. Honestly, the only feature missing here is a companion Apple Watch app for times I might not want to bring my iPhone with me, like if I’m just walking around the park across the street. This checks every other box for me though.
Developer Response
Thank you for the useful suggestion! We will definitely proceed with an Apple Watch companion app, as it will make Japanese Walking trainings more comfortable.
Super!!!

The app is very convenient and easy to use. You choose your interval and start burning calories :)The reminders to change pace are very helpful, so you don’t forget when it’s time to switch.It’s more comfortable to start with a slower pace.
Developer Response
Thank you very much for your review! You're right, a workout must start with warming up and end with cooling down. We will definitely implement this option in the Paceriva Japanese Walking app.
A few Big problems
tjshaff
I like music when I walk. If I toggle between music and walking app the sound is muted. Example: if im on theMusic app I cant hear the alert sounds for change ofpace bc its muted. When on the Japanese then, when on this Walking app my music mutes. If I turn up music while in this app and toggle back to the music app it breaks my eardrums. My phone is an Apple iPhone. It would be helpful too if the alert sounds were different depending on change of pace speed. Also, a longer duration of the sound would be helpful. Pls provide your email so your customers can request refunds (including yours truly).
Developer Response
UPD: We’ve added voice guidance for the timer, which fixes the issue you described!Thank you for your feedback and for pointing out the issues. Regarding the refund – it is handled by Apple, so please contact them directly. As a developer I cannot process refunds myself, but my settings allow Apple to approve any refund request.As for the sound, unfortunately Apple has strict limitations for background timers, so sounds don’t always work perfectly. Still, notifications should arrive normally, and I will work on improving this and adding different alert sounds.I’m sorry to have disappointed you and that it led to a one-star review.
Big nope

I should expect that the app keeps working when I lock my phone but it does not! How can something so critical be missing? Especially for a paid app.
Developer Response
We’ve released an update where we fixed the bug.Yes, you’re right — unfortunately, due to the specifics of iOS, the background timer works inconsistently: for some users it functions properly, while for others it doesn't.Thank you for letting us know, as it was working fine on our devices.We hope you won't encounter this issue anymore.By the way, the timer functionality itself is free — there’s no need to pay for it.
Improved onboarding: experienced users can customize interval durations and interval count.
