Crashes watch

Keeps crashing my watch when I use the wheel to end a session. Other than that it tracks sessions quite well.

Great Session Tracking

Use it to track my sessions. Trying to progress my surfing and this helps. I think. It's cool to review your waves and your misses.

A must app for every surfer!

Great surfing app, integrates perfectly with Garmin to record and Surfline to get the videos of my sessions. Good job guys! A+ / 5 stars!

このアプリは故障の原因

過去2年以内、本日までApple Watchが5台も故障した。

因果関係が分からないが、このアプリを使い終わってからApple Watchが故障する。
アプリ使用中に浸水もあった。
このアプリが原因としか言いようがない。

幸い、AppleCAREのおかげで数千円の支払いや、無料で交換に至る。

他の方はこんな事ないでしょうか?

Great for Progress

I’ve been tracking rides for several years and it’s been easy to track progress and use the videos from Surfline to improve. Improving ride lengths and speeds alone is useful when trying different boards or tracking progress at frequented spots.

Sync is a mess

Constantly loses the board / session settings. After each session it blows away the last weeks worth of changes. Still can’t get such a basic thing right after all these years.

Loses data

Lost a couple of my sessions. When you try and press fields to access data it glitches and goes back to like you never pressed anything.So irritating. Fix and update.

Way Off

This app says I caught 10 times more waves than I did and that I served hours longer than I did.

Fun app

I like it! Question for the dev, any ways to merge two sessions or more into one? Sometimes I need to check something so I remove the Water Lock, but because it’s all wet it happens many times where it either pauses or stops the session. Pause is okay but when it stops, I have to restart a new session… but I want it to be the same session, not 2 différents sessions.
Thanks!

06/09/26 new request for devs: an incredible update would be to be able to switch between sessions when reading the insights. right now, once you’re inside a session, you cannot easily switch to the previous day (maybe an arrow or simply allow with finger swipe, could be great!)

Love it!

I love the app, been subscribed for a couple years now and enjoy all the tracking features. I also love the badges for accomplishments!

The only issue I have is with adding photos - it force closes app occasionally and I have to fiddle around a lot to get the photo I want to be the first one. There doesn’t seem to be a way to rearrange the three photos so the one I want is the first. For instance I always upload a photo of a wave from session which I want to be first photo, followed by screenshots of the surfline conditions. But almost every time, one of the screenshots is first photo and I have to delete and re-add a few times until the wave photo shows first.

One feature I would love to see is a playable timeline of location like Surf Watch does.

Love it, but last update has issues

Hey I love the app, been subscribed for a couple years now and enjoy all the tracking features.

I’m having issues since last weeks update, sessions do not sync to phone app Andy session today claimed no waves but I caught some. I also can’t leave feedback from app, it just force closes when I click button hence me putting feedback here.

Also, I have always had trouble adding photos it force closes app occasionally and I have to fiddle around a lot to get the photo I want to be the first one. Can’t figure out what order to load them to get the cover photo I prefer.

Don’t want to leave poor review because I love it, but it’s not functioning well after this update for whatever reason.

Great, when it works.

I have missing sessions and even though I pay $28 yearly my “premium” status isn’t unlocked for some reason.

ウォッチの画面が戻らない。

Apple Watch Series 7を使用しています。 ライドした時、距離が表示された画面が出てから、 ライド数が表示されているメイン画面に戻るのが普通だと思っているのですが、 ライド距離が表示されている画面がそのままになり、メインの画面に戻らなくなります。 波の合計獲得本数がわからない状態に成るので不便です。 修正お願いします。 課金してます。 よろしくお願いします。

It’s good

Inaccurate

The tides are off, it does not record all the waves, it loses reception making it difficult to turn off and water temperature is way off.

Hi, Dawn Patrol is definitely available in Brazil, hopefully this is all working for you now. Please let us know if our support team can assist via support@dawnpatrol.cloud

Tracking quality degrading

Heaps of waves uncounted even in slow waves mode, quality of recording has been degrading a lot in the last 3 weeks

AMAZING APP

Very reliable and legit on all the datas!! Loving knowing how I surf and how many waves I get🤙🏻🤙🏻

Could be great

But unfortunately with Apple Watch only around 2 of 3 sessions actually register. The others just vanish. You go to look at your session later in the day and it just isn’t there. Still worth the price.
