Questions

OnPace uses location together with the Lock Screen card while a trip runs, and stops when you tap Stop or two minutes after you arrive. If the app is force-quit or reinstalled in the middle of a trip, iOS can keep the indicator. Restarting the phone clears it.

While Using the App is enough. Always is not needed. During a trip the Lock Screen card stays up, so location keeps coming with the screen off or another app open.

Turn on Settings > OnPace > Live Activities. Without the card, the late sound still plays.

One minute late plays one note, two minutes plays two, and so on up to five. It counts whole minutes whatever the window, and running early stays silent. The sound plays at media volume even in silent mode, and music you are playing dips for a moment. In OnPace settings, under Pace, turn off Sound when running late, or use Preview to hear the sounds for one to five minutes.

On the Route screen, under Schedule, set Departure reminder to At departure, 5 min before, 10 min before or 15 min before. OnPace asks for notification permission the first time you turn one on. Notifications are used only for departure reminders. Tap the reminder to start that route. With Pro you can choose Days for a route, and the reminder goes off only on those days. If notifications are off, turn them on in Settings > OnPace > Notifications.

With two or more routes, OnPace picks the one whose next departure is closest when you open the app, or when you start from Control Center or Siri without naming a route. Name a route to Siri and that route starts. A departure that passed less than an hour ago still counts. A route you chose yourself in the last hour stays as it is. Opening the app during a trip changes nothing, and the trip keeps its route until it ends. Starting again from Control Center or Siri during a trip leaves the chosen route as it is, and Siri says the route is already running.

When you edit a checkpoint, or in Edit on map, choose Bus or Subway under To the next checkpoint. On those legs the gap you boarded with carries until you get off, even when the signal drops underground. Live bus and subway data is not used.

Put two checkpoints at the same place with their times apart, and that becomes a waiting leg. Arrive early and it shows Wait here until it is time to go. On the route map, overlapping pins are grouped into one, and tapping the group zooms in until they separate.

On the route screen, tap the Tune from trips row under the map to see suggestions and Good to know. Leg times count from when you actually left. Leaving late is shown on its own, as in You usually leave 7m late, together with when you would arrive if you left on time. Differences by weekday or departure time appear only when that group has 3 or more trips. Suggestions name checkpoints by pin number, as in #3 Seohyeon-ro, and tapping one shows the change before you apply it. Anyone can see the suggestions. Applying them is part of Pro.

Recently Deleted on the home screen keeps the last three routes you deleted. Tap Recover to bring one back. A recovered route counts toward your routes again. Removing a checkpoint, Delete all, Use the path you took and applying a schedule or suggestion can be reversed once with Undo, which appears at the top of the route screen. Once you quit the app, it can no longer be undone.

Tap Restore purchase on the purchase screen. Family Sharing is on, so your family can use it too.

On a foldable iPhone, when the screen has a system strip along one side, the map button and the Board, Get off, Enter, Exit and Other marks stand in that strip during a trip. Folded and held upright, the map fits on the first screen. Unfolded and held sideways, the trip screen shows the big number and the Remaining checkpoints on the left and the map on the right, all on one screen. When you create or edit a route on the map, the map opens full screen with the iPhone unfolded, and the panel sits beside the map when the screen is sideways.
