FoilMotion is the most advanced water sports tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. Specially developed for various disciplines such as - Pumpfoil - Wakefoil - Parawing - Wingfoil - Downwind - Kite - Wakeboard and much more. WHY CHOOSE FOILMOTION? Most apps only use the raw GPS signal. While this works for some activities, water sports often suffer from poor GPS accuracy due to water reflections. Sharp turns and fast maneuvers push GPS to its limits, often missing the true path you traveled. FoilMotion combines multiple sensors on your Apple Watch to create high definition tracks that capture every turn and movement in detail. This approach also enables unique features like detecting individual pumps in pumpfoiling and precisely identifying where your runs begin and end. An algorithm that just works! Built on hundreds of real world sessions and continuous improvements with our community. We adjusted and optimized for every single discipline individually. We are on the water every week, the whole year, to make sure everything works. UNIQUE PUMPFOILING FEATURES • Automatic pump count and pump rate analysis • Automatic dockstart counting with trained detection model • Power output by analyzing the intensity of your pumps MANEUVER DETECTION • Detects turns, jibes, 360s and curves automatically • Analyze every maneuver with radius, speed, G-forces and more • View every maneuver on the map • See your success rate and which maneuvers were successful or failed PERFECT FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS • Automatic foiling and wave detection across all disciplines • Track attempts, distance, and top speeds • 5 second max speed for more accurate and comparable results • Glide and pump phase analysis to see where you glide and where you pump • Upwind and downwind analysis with VMG, DMG and angle to wind • Analyze where you gained or lost speed • Water contact detection (Apple Watch Ultra and Series 10) • Personal records with custom alerts SESSION ANALYSIS • Interactive session story: scrub through turns, maneuvers, and speed sections on the map • Follow mode: let the map follow your track as you explore the session • Share sessions as images with customizable layouts and 30+ metrics • Pace splits for every 100m, 250m, 500m, or 1km segment • Session filtering and detailed insights SPOT MAP - DRIVEN BY THE COMMUNITY • See all your sessions on a single map • Discover new spots shared by the community • Inspect a the heatmap and see where others are riding ADVANCED FEATURES • Heart rate monitoring during runs • High definition tracks that capture every turn with multi sensor precision • Pump power and rhythm analytics across all foiling disciplines • Customizable Apple Watch workout screens for every discipline • Custom units for speed, distance and temperature • GPX export for analysis in third party tools • Analyze your Garmin sessions PRIVACY FIRST We do not collect, share, or sell your data.

Nice app. ### 5/5 — Best Foil APP *2025-09-11, version 1.5.0* This App shows all your foiling success in Full detail. Best foiling APP on the market! ### 5/5 — Pumping *2025-08-12, version 1.4.0* Excellente application pour le pumping . Permet d’excellents retours de sessions. Il manque juste un affichage cardio en temps réel et la possibilité de partager la session. Bravo ### 5/5 — Pump *2025-08-02, version 1.4.0* Ultra précise et très complète , j’achète ### 5/5 — Top notch *2025-07-22, version 1.4.0* I just checked out the app on my last Pumpfoil session with the Apple Watch Ultra. The precision of the tracking is just stunning. Easy to use with impressive results. ### 5/5 — Coole App *2025-07-16, version 1.4.0* Hoi und viele Grüße aus dem Rheinland. Ich habe aktuell die Schwierigkeit, dass die Anwendung auf meiner Apple Watch dauernd in den Pause-Modus geht und so gut wie nichts mehr aufzeichnet. Hab schon den Stromsparmodus ausgeschaltet aber hatte damit keinen Erfolg. Vielleicht könnt ihr aushelfen ? Ansonsten eine sehr coole App, wenn sie aufzeichnet 😂 Update 16.07.: Ich habe die alte App in Version 1.3.0 durch die Version 1.4.0 aktualisiert und keine Schwierigkeiten mehr mit Pausen im Training gehabt. Daher jetzt 5 verdiente Sterne ⭐️ . Jetzt kann ich weiter trainieren 😬 ### 5/5 — 5 star *2025-07-09* Looks like a great app! **Developer response:** Hi Ricky Thanks for the review. We hope you have a lot of fun on the water with FoilMotion. 🤙 ### 5/5 — Great app, but I canceled subscription *2025-06-23* If you are into pump foiling, which is a super niche sport, its a great app. But its functionality and future features additions are quite limited. Even those who pump foiling, do not do it daily. It’s something you do once a week or so. Paying $1.99/ month for something that that niche was already a stretch, as we all have multiple subscriptions already. $3.99 is just too much mate. If you drop the price again, i may consider paying. **Developer response:** Hi DragonEye Thanks for your honest feedback and your rating. I totally understand your concerns. As we are expanding to other waters sports it takes much more work to test for all disciplines. We consider offering a subscription just for pumpfoiling/dockstarting but for now we lowered the price again. We hope to get you back on board! ### 5/5 — 👍 *2025-05-14, version 1.0.2* Parfaite pour notre activité Pumping ✨ ## Frequently asked questions about Foil, Wing, Surf ### What water sports does FoilMotion track?

THE SESSION, REBUILT A session now opens on your track. Pull the sheet up to browse everything else: distance, pace, glide, splits, heart rate, weather and more, each on its own card. Tap a card and the map jumps straight to that moment. Swipe through your runs and the map follows along. On iPad it all sits in a panel beside the map. YOUR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS The photos and videos you took while you were out now show up inside the session. Swipe through them, open them full screen, and share them. Sessions that have photos are marked in the list so you can find them again. A NEW LOGBOOK Every card in the session list now draws the track you actually rode, on a map that matches the app's look in both light and dark mode. GLIDES See your longest glide at a glance, open the full list of every glide in the session, and jump to any one of them on the map. WIND A new wind rose shows which directions you really rode in. SPOT MAP The map opens right away instead of waiting for the network, and your personal heatmap loads far quicker than before. FIXES More reliable detection of when you are really riding, for both Apple Watch and Garmin recordings. Max glide distance is correct on shared images again. Plus a long list of smaller corrections throughout the app. Version 1.14.0 Strava sync, a new arm activity rating, and more accurate power numbers. STRAVA Connect your Strava account and have your sessions uploaded automatically after every ride, or just upload single sessions by hand whenever you like. ARM ACTIVITY See how much you moved your arms during a session. The rating shows up in the run, section, phase, maneuver and leg views, and the glossary explains what the levels mean. MORE ACCURATE POWER Pump detection now tells arm swing apart from real pumping even better. Your power and pump numbers reflect what your board is doing instead of what your arms are doing. Apple Watch and Garmin recordings now agree far more closely. BODY WEIGHT Pick where your weight comes from: the FoilMotion default, Apple Health or Garmin. Power and energy are then calculated with the right number. SHARING A new Instagram portrait format, a new layout for Stories, and total energy & average power added to the metrics you can place on your image.
