What a great app for the whole family. Parents, grandparents, etc. can easily follow their swimmers events and progress throughout the season. Our family loves this app!

Thank you!

This is a great way to follow along with a swim meet and see live results. Very easy to use.

A swim parents dream

I can’t make every swim meet in time so I’m really excited to track along with my swimmer and live results. Can’t wait for improvements over the next couple years.

Overall terrific application

I use this application to help the flow and running of the swim teams/meets that I manage. Overall I would say that it helps ease the burden of several tasks for my staff and I. Great work Swimmingly team! Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Excellent Experience

Used this app for the 1st time this season and it exceeded my expectations. It makes Summer League swimming easy and enjoyable!

Sub par

Compared to other swimming apps such as OnDeck and MeetMobile, this app simply does not compare. The screens are small and static (no zoom), no history or comparison to previous times, navigation is clunky, and the monthly fee is excessive compared to better apps.

Not as good this year

Used this app by a different name last year and loved it. The app changed and it does not have the same features. The free part is great. Could follow the meet and see scores and places etc. What is missing is being able to track my swimmer from meet to meet and easily compare times week to week. Please bring back that functionality! Also I had to hand out heat ribbons and it combined the heat together too quickly so I know longer knew which place a swimmer got in his/her heat- only in the combined race. Worth it for the free portion, but little extra benefit for the pay portion.
For those saying the app is behind in scores it is likely that your scorekeeper is just slowly in verifying the times. Our results came back very quickly.

Good concept

It is a good concept—a live heat sheet.

Upside: many times it works, and provide an experience that is better in many ways than a heat sheet

Downside: Currently it seems like a hobbyist implementation: regular crashes and syncing problems, high battery usage, layout problems, and functionality gaps

IMHO they jumped the gun on monetization. I feel like early payers like me were taken advantage of. Fine for a free app but paying was a mistake since they are realistically in a beta testing phase.

Missed my kids event

The app does not update unless the main event ipad app is continuously closed and opened. It is currently 20 events behind.

Don’t pay for this

I paid for the subscription thinking I’d get real time scores
Nope
I can only see my teams swimmers, not the overall heat swimmers. The score isn’t even correct

Please refund me or fix this
