### 5/5 — Super App für alle Kiteboarder

*2024-04-28*

Ich liebe diese App! Hochwertige Videos, genau Erklärungen (im Video, wie im Text). Und der gamification Ansatz, in dem man Punkte für erlernte Übungen sammelt ist vor allem am Anfang nett. 100% Empfehlung!

**Developer response:** Hi Rok101, vielen Dank für Ihr positives Feedback. Beste Grüße, dein Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Great vids and descriptions

*2024-01-25*

I love how you can download the videos and then you can watch them without any Wi-Fi necessary. The step-by-step instructions are awesome.

### 4/5 — iPad version

*2024-01-14*

Tolles Content! Aber warum nur die Version für iPhone, keine full screen Version für iPad?

### 5/5 — Perfect guide for beginners!

*2023-09-19*

Only app a kitesurfer needs.

**Developer response:** Hello samitte23, Thanks for your feedback. We are pleased that you are enjoying the features of our app. Best regards, your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Klasse App Alles was man Braucht

*2023-08-19*

Wäre schön wenn ihr auch eine genauso coole App für das Windsurfen Rausbringt. Würde viele sehr freuen mich auch sehr hat einfach mehr Vorteile als YouTube o.ä.

### 4/5 — Super App

*2023-07-02*

Mir gefällt die Ap sehr gut, da man wirklich was lernen kann. Ich würde mich aber darüber freuen wenn sie für das iPad optimiert werden könnte.

### 4/5 — Aktuell viele Bugs

*2023-06-18*

Moin zusammen,
Seit einigen Wochen funktioniert die App nicht sauber. Es fehlen aktuell gefühlt 50 % der Übungen. Teilweise sind in die Sessions anstatt mit zum Beispiel 10 Übungen nur 3 Übungen integriert. Zeitweilig sind die Übung zwar zu erkennen, aber die Videos fehlen. So ist aktuell leider die App nicht zu gebrauchen.

Gruß T

**Developer response:** Hallo Todde, vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Das Problem wurde behoben. Bitte lade das neueste Update der App im App Store herunter. Wenn du immer noch Probleme hast, schreibe uns bitte eine E-Mail an academy@duotonesports.com. Beste Grüße, dein Duotone Team

### 3/5 — Can’t scroll

*2022-04-09*

When I try to finished a lesson 
I can’t scroll to see the button 
In my iPhone 7 

Please fix it 🙏🏼

**Developer response:** Hey Elfiservice, thanks for your feedback. Can you describe your problem in detail so we can try to help you? We need your iOS Version and your exact iPhone Model (6, 6s, 7 etc.). Best would also be a screenshot or a screen recording. Please send all the info to academy@duotonesports.com 
Thanks, your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Great resource

*2022-02-19*

So much content. Very useful. Including the gym style training sections was a nice surprise well done

**Developer response:** Hello Nothhappyjohn, 

Thank a lot for your positive feedback. We are pleased that you are enjoying the features of our app.

Best regards, your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Great app for learning

*2022-01-06*

This app is really handy for quick access to new tricks and progressions.   It’s like having a pocket reference that you can quickly review before a session.  The community help and comments are also really helpful.  I find watching videos of others learning the same trick, followed by the community suggestions to be quite useful for fixing my own issues.

**Developer response:** Hello mattcuzitmakesme, 

Thank you for your positive feedback. We are pleased to hear that the app and the support from our community have helped you with your progression.

Your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Excellent content

*2021-12-03*

Great app and very nice to have in your pocket by the beach to give little booster tutorials. Only small downside is it often deletes downloads when I travel or if I’m offline. Be great if they fixed that.

### 5/5 — Massively Improved my Riding

*2021-09-08*

After struggling with inspiration for a few years this app has really helped me step up my game! It’s so useful to have the app at hand so you can get your game plan dialled just before you hit the water 🙌

### 4/5 — Info PIQ

*2021-08-18*

Par contre application introuvable pour le PIQ robot kitesurf , pouvez-vous me dire comment la retrouver et reprendre mon compte !! Merci

### 3/5 — Langue

*2021-08-02*

Ce n est toujours qu en anglais dommage

### 4/5 — iPad anpassung

*2021-04-08*

Tolle App, aber eine anpassung ans Ipad fehlt leider, daher nur 4 Sterne

### 5/5 — A huge free resource

*2021-01-16*

No matter what level you are at there is something to learn for everyone

### 1/5 — Auto-Werbung? Euer Ernst?!

*2026-08-07*

Euer Ernst?! Ich bekomme eine Benachrichtigung eurer App, und es ist Werbung?! Für ein Auto!

### 1/5 — Application qu’en anglais

*2024-08-17*

Le développeur avait dit bientôt disponible il y a 5 ans …

**Developer response:** Hello, could you please let us know what is not working for you. Please email us at academy@duotonesports.com with you Academy nickname, email, screenshots, and times + timezone when the error appears. Best regards, Your Duotone Team.

### 1/5 — Непонятно

*2024-05-13*

Хорошие видео, жаль с татарской озвучкой

**Developer response:** Thank you, we're stoked you're enjoying the lessons. Best, your Duotone Team

### 1/5 — L’application ne marche

*2020-11-30*

L’application a l’air dingue mais elle ne marche pas. Sûrement un soucis technique qui va être réparé

### 1/5 — Хамство

*2020-07-26*

Картинки хорошо. Но почему в российском магазине приложение без русского языка,  не понятно. Полное не уважение , считаю,  к Русским,  к России.

### 1/5 — Promising but alpha version

*2019-07-21*

Promising app with detailed information. I like the idea to keep track on its progress with or without the community. Unfortunately user interface is not mature, clicking on completed takes more than a minute, downloading the lesson to watch it later off line did not work. Keep working, it will be great and I will change the vote 👍

**Developer response:** Hey laurent13380, thanks for your feedback. We will definitely working on your issue and will solve this in our next update in 2 weeks. Please be patient during this time. If there is anything else you can contact us via mail: marketing@duotonesports.com.

Best, 
your Duotone Team

### 2/5 — Poor experience with video loading

*2020-06-22*

All video explanation looks very great. Animations, zoom out to show the kite is the same. But something on video loading makes a very poor experience to user. Even if a video is locally downloaded on my iPhone, I have to wait a lot of time before the video starts. See learning videos on YouTube still a better experience

### 2/5 — Email address confirmation is not working so impossible to login

*2019-08-01*

Email confirmation is not working

**Developer response:** Hey thibs066, thanks for your message. We improved our E-Mail confirmation workflow and you should received a confirmation mail now. If not, please feel free to contact us via mail: marketing@duotonesports.com.

Best, your Duotone Team

### 2/5 — Great videos but buggy app

*2019-07-31*

Videos are great, but app is super buggy.
I cannot mark anything as “in training” or “completed”, I get a message saying I need to confirm my email address. My email address is confirmed and I cannot get a new confirmation email...
Clicking on the “vote” button simply makes the app disappear.

**Developer response:** Hey cdelasablonniere, thanks for your feedback. We fixed the app crashes in our next version which will probably in the appstore on friday. 
About your confirmation mail. Can you send us your E-Mail adress which you used for sign up via mail: marketing@duotonesports.com

Thanks, your Duotone Team.

### 3/5 — Loading problems

*2024-01-15*

Please fix this bug it’s been weeks anything doesn’t load

**Developer response:** Hi ALLu 21, thanks for your feedback. Please try to delete and install the App again. If this does not resolve the issue, please email us at academy@duotonesports.com with you Academy nickname, email, screenshots, and times + timezone when the error appears.
Best regards, Your Duotone Team.

### 5/5 — Gut gemacht

*2026-07-12*

Ich finde die App gut gemacht. Man kann immer wieder Manöver oder Tricks anschauen und davon lernen. Leider ist mein englisch nicht so gut so dass ich oft erstmal Texte übersetzen muss. Wäre schön wenn man ein Sprachauswahl zur Verfügung hätte.  In Zeiten von KI müsste das ja eigentlich kein Problem sein 😉 👍🖖

### 5/5 — Everything is good

*2026-06-09*

App did crash for few days but now back to normal ! It’s really good

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your message!
We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing an issue. Could you please share more details about the problem by contacting us at academy@duotonesports.com? Our team will be happy to assist you and investigate further.
Thank you!

### 5/5 — Y

*2026-01-22*

Dommage que ce ne soit pas en français

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we are getting the feedback a lot for the selection for different languages. We're working hard on it, therefore stay tuned for updates in the coming year. Best, your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Fantastic app but noticed a problem

*2025-11-15*

You can’t scroll all the way down on the training/workout tab to see all the trainings. Otherwise it’s an amazing app.

### 5/5 — Mehrsprachig

*2025-07-12*

Hallo liebe Leute von Duotone, ihr habt klasse App kreiert mit vielen tollen Features, nur ich vermisse die deutsche Sprache in den Lernvideos. Wünsche euch alles Gute und viel Erfolg!

**Developer response:** Hi Sanny, thank you for your feedback. We have noted it and stay tuned for updates in the coming year!! Your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Великолепная библиотека

*2025-05-11*

Очень интересно составлено, красиво и понятно отснято. Большое спасибо за вашу работу !

**Developer response:** Awesome to hear you’re enjoying the content in the lesson library. Best, your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Amazing content and interface

*2025-04-22*

Great app to learn new tricks and track progression. Would be amazing to have Apple Watch version that would track activities, jump heights, etc.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we have noted it, stay tuned for updates in the coming year. Best, your Duotone team

### 5/5 — Sehr hilfreich

*2025-04-03*

Ich liebe diese App einfach 🤙

**Developer response:** Great to hear! Your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — VIDEO SPEED UP option

*2024-12-06*

I would love if we had the option to speed up the video in 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x etc! it would help a lot!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We have noted it and stay tuned for updates in the coming year! Best, your Duotone Team

### 5/5 — Great content, the app not quite

*2024-05-30*

I love the content and the simplified explanations of the tricks. Demonstration and video quality is top notch. Voice over is short and does not try to substitute full instructional content with hacks how to help real life aficionados.
A few annoying points: the app keeps deleting dowloaded content. It does not happen to kindle app. 
It does not play videos offline. Sometimes I am kiting in places with no internet. How I am supposed to use the app?

**Developer response:** Hi Kke7, 

thanks very much for your feedback. You should be able to play downloaded videos also in offline mode with no internet. If you face further problems please email us at academy@duotonesports.com with your Academy App user name, email address, and details of the problem. Best Your Duotone Team
