Running / Triathlon Calculator

Looking for help with an android app. I developed a calculator for running and wanted to see what others think before starting on a triathlon specific app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calculator.running

I'd love to hear what I can do to improve it. Trying to keep it simple, intuitive and useful. It's got a calculator for working out pace and time fields for various distances, a speed convertor and a predictor for equivalent performances which in my biased opinion is reliably accurate!

Really appreciate any feedback!

Not sure if there's an Android version or if it's any good. I'm an iPhone user.

Here's the website I started with before doing the app. You should be able to check this out.

Why do I need an app to do this when there's so many easy to use mobile websites that do the same? I see no need to take up real estate on my phone for it.

Just faster to get to i suppose and doesn't depend on having internet.. rare as that is!

Some people use these types of calculators a lot so its worth having it handy.

In speed converter I don't see min/km to min/mile.

In the app?J change the km drop-down to miles and it converts. You think it needs it's own separate section?

Or if you are talking about the website then use the pace converter section.

Ok, I didn't know that it works like that :)

This is the triathlon version:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calculator.triathlon

It works out your total time of any combination of from bike run. Please give it a go and let's hear what's missing. Would custom distances be important? Transition times?

There are many "non standard" triathlon so maybe consider adding custom distance?
Are calculation including some time for transitions?

I've updated both the triathlon and running calculator apps. They are both very small and fast apps with no ads and no permissions required. Both now have short videos in the play store demoing the functionality along with some questionable music. If anyone wants to try out the triathlon app, here are a few promo codes to get it free:

Valid for one install, you can apply these by clicking redeem in the play store then entering a code.

No problem! What do you think? Easy enough to use? Anything else you would find useful?

So far so good, bare bones and to the point. No changes I can recommend.
