Trying to find an old app

I'm hoping to track down a Connect IQ app I had some years ago called, I think, "Simple Pacer". It was a version of the Virtual Partner. You key in a pace and it tells you in a big full-screen font how far ahead (in green) or behind (in red) you are, in minutes and seconds. That's all. Great for a quick glance with tired old eyes.

There are similar apps with similar names and purposes but as far as I can see they're designed for race pacing and require a distance to be inputted as well. "Simple Pacer" just needed a pace, like the Virtual Partner.

I'd love to have it again or an equivalent. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

If your watch supports the PacePro feature, then you could create a PacePro strategy with a fix pace (without a Course), and then you can use the built-in PacePro Data Field "Overall Ahead/Behind" without any CIQ app.

I remember the app you mention, but I also don't see it anymore, most likely the author has discontinued that app.

When you configure my hi vis pacer to be in a small data field it will function in a similar mode mode, although my app uses background color and as far as i remember the simple pacer used foreground color

Thank you guys, and apologies for the delay in replying. I'll take a closer look at the Hi Viz Pacer. Have a half marathon tomorrow so now's a good time :-)
