### 2/5 — Was a good app

*2025-02-16*

The update took forever then made it completely unusable! I can’t even get the app to open on my phone. When I start a session on my watch it counts down like it’s starting then crashes—every single time! Completely unusable anymore 😡

### 2/5 — Seit dem Update..

*2025-02-14*

…vor ein paar Tagen nicht mehr zu gebrauchen. Die Watch App crasht nur noch. Support war zwar hilfreich, jedoch funktionierte die Watch App genau nur 1x - Heute sah‘s ich wieder im Eis und die Uhr zeichnet nichts auf, die App crashte. Also wieder das gleiche gemacht, was mir der Support empfohlen hat, nur das hilft diesmal gar nichts. Bitte schnellsten Updaten und die nervige Werbung entfernen. Bin gern bereit einmalig für eine App die gut ist zu bezahlen, jedoch kein Abomodell

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review. At this moment we are working on new version which will be much better hope we will launch app soon. There will be more integration with Apple Health. But Water temperature is not a part of apple health so for this feature you will have to wait little bit longer. Also better social share is planning in next months. Thank you very much.

### 2/5 — Could have been a good update, but made stability worse

*2025-02-07*

Don’t mind paying for a better version of the app with new features but I need it to at least be stable and work. To many app crashes, lost data and syncing issues to use for now.

### 2/5 — Bad upgrade

*2025-02-07*

I’ve loved this app for 2+ years, but this Feb 25 update has ruined it…data is tougher to enter (I need to scroll through a whole reel of numbers to change temp) and navigate more menus to enter a manual plunge.

It also seems to have lost a lot of my old data

I’m all for paying for a good app, but right now I’d pay to go back to the previous version

### 2/5 — Upgrade

*2025-02-07, version 2.0*

Not working after update

### 1/5 — Neaktualizovat! - Velmi nestabilní, smaže všechna historická data!

*2025-02-05, version 2.0*

Po aktualizaci na V2 mi zmizela všechna data za poslední tři roky. 
Při pokusu uložit proběhlou “seanci” aplikace vždy! zhavaruje a nic se neuloží.
Aktuálně zcela nepoužitelná aplikace. Bohužel!

### 3/5 — Eher geht so…

*2025-01-17*

Die App friert dauernd ein, was ziemlich nervig ist, wenn man beim Eisbaden ist und eine Minute verlängern oder stoppen will. Dann zeichnet sie zudem nicht verlässlich auf und in top kann man die Zeit nicht gescheit einstellen. Eigentlich sogar eher zwei Sterne, aber ich finde auch keine alternative App.

### 1/5 — Good potential , not usable

*2025-01-09, version 1.6*

Looks promising but fails to deliver, uninstalled after less then a week of using. 
Major flaws :
- app is slow, takes eternity before anything happens
- sync between watch and phone is highly unreliable, you simply lose your session for an “unknown error”
- need to set the target duration every single time. App could - and should - remember my last setting
- need to enter air temperature manually despite allowing location access

### 3/5 — Average

*2024-09-29, version 1.6*

Huge potential but a lot of important issues. 1. Apple health doesn't cooperate with it , you can allow it and sync it but after few minutes is again unsynchronized 2.temperature 3. Manual settings still again for start. ...... Apple iphone 15 pro max

### 4/5 — Tolle Idee

*2024-09-19*

Die App wäre toll wenn auch vergangene Tage nachträglich eingetragen werden könnten. Das wäre mir auch eine einmalige Gebühr wert, da ich die Idee super finde.

Connect to Garmin wäre super!!

**Developer response:** Really sorry for your troubles. We are working on completely new version now. We hope it will be live during february. Also premium options will come where you can disable ads.
2. you can add your programs manually already now.

### 1/5 — App

*2024-08-16*

This app is awful, constantly crashes nd not being able to use it once.

### 2/5 — Needs some work

*2024-07-31*

Great app initially and now doesn’t upload data from Apple Watch and/or crashes. Disappointing as it’s the only app that measures HR and integrated with Apple Watch

### 2/5 — Not working

*2024-07-29, version 1.6*

I’d love to use it. But when I hit “go” to start a session, the entire app freezes.

### 2/5 — Great idea however keeps crashing

*2024-07-19*

The idea is genius, however, the app always crashes. Data is never saved. Have error messaged at each end of plundge, error around connection, about data being in the wrong format. Shame.

Also improvements would be to fix the bugs and to add the auto water lock on apple watch.

### 1/5 — Crashes constantly and doesn’t upload data

*2024-04-23*

Tried using with Apple Watch Ultra, crashes at the end of the timer and doesn’t upload data. Great idea but found lacking

### 3/5 — Not great, but mostly usable

*2024-04-11*

I have been using this app since last year. It was pretty good for a while, but unfortunately for the last few months it’s been having issues. Every time I use my watch to track a cold shower it gives me an error when I end the session that reads “The data couldn’t be read because it is not in the correct format.” I made sure my phone and Apple Watch were both updated, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue. Despite this, it does still log the data from the session in the app, so it does still work, but it’s a bit buggy. 

An improvement I would suggest (aside from fixing the above issue) is that it would be really nice if starting a session from your Apple watch automatically put the water lock on. The app I use for surf tracking does this and it’s a really feature.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2024-04-08, version 1.5.2*

I’m having trouble with the app reporting it cannot record, stops recording and then does no upload from watch to app for proper tracking.  Kind of bummed.

### 1/5 — Apple Watch Alert Error

*2024-03-27*

I love the app but I have sent in multiple report issues with their app.  My Apple Watch comes up with an Alert Data error everyday when I use.  I have to delete app off watch and redownload everyday:(

### 4/5 — Really want this to be 5 star

*2024-03-25*

I really want to give this app a 5 star but their dev team seems to be struggling with basic updates. Their CSR staff is great but the back end is lagging behind unfortunately. Watch app is also buggy too.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes; unreliable w/watch

*2026-01-07*

Crashes and isn't reliable when using Apple Watch. Dialogue with developer proved useless. Last response was that his developer failed to deliver on promises and he was out of money.

### 1/5 — Great idea but doesn’t work

*2025-11-01, version 2.1*

The Apple Watch program allows to set a timer for the swim but the program finishes immediately after starting the program without any timer. Half of the time the finished program is not uploaded to iPhone and you have to add the program manually but then you lose the heart rate data from Apple Watch. Great idea but unfortunately the app is not functional.

### 1/5 — App crash

*2025-04-09*

The latest version doesn’t record your session, just crashes when you go to save, setting temperatures and times doesn’t hold. This app was ok/good but in the last month is has become unusable

### 1/5 — Nepoužtelný

*2025-02-23, version 2.1*

Poslední dobou nefunguje propojení Watch-telefon a po poslední aktualizaci už nejde v hodinkách ani spustit. Dejte vědět, jestli se chystá update, nebo se rozloučíme :) ve 2024 za mě ještě dobrá appka

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2025-02-11*

App will not even load.  Appears I’ve lost all data I had in there for tracking

### 1/5 — Crash

*2025-02-10*

Latest update just means my Apple Watch shuts the app at the end of the count down

### 1/5 — Neaktualizovat!!!

*2025-02-09, version 2.0*

Po aktualizaci zmizela všechna data. Při pokusu o ruční editaci app spadne. Zcela nepoužitelné. Škoda.

### 1/5 — App broken

*2025-02-08, version 2.0*

App at one time was great. Currently the app is worthless, due it will not record sessions. And now has ads. 👎

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-02-06*

Since the latest update. Absolute rubbish and waste of time. Keeps crashing when inputting data and won’t sync with Apple Watch for heart rate. Pointless app.

### 1/5 — Lame - V2 is worse than ever.

*2025-02-06*

Upgraded to V2 and lost all previous data. Went to add manually and it glitched 3 times and crashed causing me to reenter all info for just one day’s info. Forget it, I’m done.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — It’s exactly what you’re looking for

*2024-06-26*

Honestly couldn’t ask for much to improve. Tracks time, temperature, location, and basic vitals from your Apple Watch. What else do you need. I’d love to be able to pay a one time fee to get rid of the ads but other than that, it’s great.

### 5/5 — Functional App

*2024-03-23*

An app that does what you want it to, recording your cold water therapy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Great App for Apple Watch Plungers!

*2024-02-13*

I wanted something that would track my heart rate during my plunge and this one worked great! Of all of the cold plunge apps I’ve tried, I like this one the best. No issues for me so far, hopefully the issues mentioned in the previous reviews have been resolved.

### 5/5 — Best cold therapy tracking app i have found

*2023-12-31*

I have been searching for cold plunge apps for several months. This has been the best cold therapy tracking app i have found. It it simple, easy to understand and the Apple Watch feature is helpful.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We are working on new version and it will be much better and faster with new features.

### 5/5 — Aplikace

*2023-10-29, version 1.5.2*

Ahoj ,s aplikací teprve začínám ,neplánujete volbu v češtině ,dekuji

### 5/5 — Love the idea but Apple Watch version has bugs

*2023-08-25*

I had it working well for a while where I could track my heart rate and sessions on the watch. The last few times over the last month I tracked the session on the watch, but it doesn’t synchronize to the phone so I have to add it manually, and all the heart rate data is gone. I’ve gotten a URL error a few times and the last few time it won’t synchronize. I’ve seen the notes for the October version and I’m looking forward to that update because I love this app.

Update: now that I know I need to keep my iPhone close by the app works great!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much yes we are working on new version like you said. However this error show up because now you need to have iphone closer to the watch. If watch lost connection this error show up. In new version apple watch will work offline without iphone so this will be fixed :)

### 5/5 — Very good!

*2023-03-28*

Easy app for tracking. I love that it works on the Apple Watch and gets heart rate data. 
If you start the session on your watch and then put the watch into water model it will show the cold water app automatically so you can see the time remaining. Very cool feature. Although not obvious at first I had to figure that out.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review. We are working on app hard and we will redesign apple watch app to make it more functional and more stable also bring some more features :)

### 5/5 — Cold water!

*2023-01-01*

I have really enjoyed this app and it has been a real help to encouraging the cold water therapy! Definitely recommend if you want to log your cold swims and showers. 

Only niggle is can’t edit my cold water logs/add notes my app crashes. 

For normal logging the app is fantastic!!!

**Developer response:** Hi thank you very much for your review. Sorry for problems with editing. We checking this issue and it should be fixed in next version. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Problém s časovačom

*2022-12-13, version 1.3*

Velmi dobrá aplikacia len by som vytkol ze na apple watch nejde zastavit casovac ak nemam pri sebe telefon a ked nastavim casovac na odpočítavanie tak ma neupozornia ked časovač skončí

### 5/5 — Krása a nádhera

*2022-01-03, version 1.15*

Kluci nebo holky je to pecka. Gratulace. Taky začínám s vývojem iOS aplikací a tengle váš počin mi udělal radost. Jelikož jsem vloni začal s otužováním. Tahle appka je super a má velký potenciál. Mohli byste být něco jako otužovací STRAVA (aplikace). Je v plánu do budoucna nějaké sociálnou a sdílení mezi přáteli? Díky
