Good for a free app

Used it a few times for kiting.
Dont know another app which tracks height and visualizes the sessions on a map.
Doesnt track all jumps, but good enough.
Loading each session can take a long time.
Uploading from watch to phone also seems long.
Sometimes restarting (forced close) helped.
Would like to be able to upload session into strava.
Will there be an update for watch 6? Will height tracking be improved with altimeter on the waych 6 ?
Also, cant add a “sessions” app on any of the watch faces. It doesn’t show up in the list of selectable apps.
But again. Its a free app.

Doesn’t work

Won’t record anything on the latest Apple Watch and os

Wish it would work and wish they would update

I have been using this app for about 2.5 years on my Apple Watch 3 w/ cellular for tracking Kitesurf sessions. I love it when it works but the app has many bugs and glitches that are incredibly frustrating. I have successfully tracked over 200 sessions on the watch however I have had the app fail probably another 50 times or more. What seems to happen is a few things - either the session gets recorded and when you end the session and the watch “processes latest session” the data gets lost or when I start a session it somehow ends during my time on the water. I always make sure to water lock the screen so it doesn’t accidentally end from the water. Even then - I get back to the beach and the watch is still water locked and just showing my regular watch face. All the data is lost. It’s terribly frustrating. I wish they would fix the bugs bc it would be a really amazing app if so.

Not accurate

I accidentally left it running on the way home in the car. It recorded a bunch of “waves” saying that my speed was 60 mph, 70mph, etc.

Average

Doesn’t measure accurately, misses around 50% of your jumps also doesn’t download onto your phone, pretty annoying when you have beaten you PR and want to update the leader board! Update it and sort it please!!

Didn’t log my session

First of all it never logged my 1 hour surf session on my Apple Watch 4. Secondly, on one of my rides, it stopped logging the information on my ride after a cut back. Basically it said my ride was over after cutting back 180°. Not accurate at all. Hope you can fix the bugs because it could be great.

Kiteboarding or kitesurfing

I like the app. It allows me to track sessions ona map and get a sense of top speed (average speed doesn’t seem to be accurate). It pairs with the phone after a session (need to be near phone when you stop the app). It sometimes takes awhile to sync and show up - not sure of lag, but a lot of data?

Highly recommend to get a sense of speed, distance traveled and then pairs with Apple Watch to see heart rate and calories burned during a session- it logs it as a workout. That works well.

I know it can be improved, but it’s a great start. It also lets you track others on a leaderboard and jumps too. That seems pretty incredible too - time of jump, Gs location etc. thanks to the developer

Sync Trouble

App is cool when it works. But for the last few weeks it won’t sync with my phone to save the sessions. Help!

Does the Job but has bugs

When it works is good but sometimes the sessions resets itself causing you to loose the data. Also, it requires the phone to be near the watch when finishing the sessions to sync. It could be better at that.

No tracking my sessions

The phone is not downloading the sessions from my watch. All it says is unknown even it was showing summary on my watch when I finish kiteboarding. I had a 5 day trip and not even 1 recorded.
Very disappointed
