### 2/5 — Accuracy issues

*2026-06-23*

Love the concept. But I was counting strokes. And this was way off on the left/right. So I don’t know if cadence is right either. Wanted to love it. Hope that gets fixed.

**Developer response:** Hi 
We just released a new algorithm, would be lovely if you could give it try.
You are also welcome to join the Beta-Group if you like. Just reach out to us support@gosup.webchoice.ch

Best, Sascha

### 3/5 — Recording fine but no Strava

*2026-05-17, version 2026.01*

Don’t let me connect to Strava which is a pain but the app itself works fine.

### 4/5 — Love this app but……

*2025-08-02*

The only reason I paid for a different app is because they offer GPS of my location as soon as I start for family/friends in case I do end up in trouble. It also sends them a message when I’m done.

**Developer response:** Thanks for you Feedback.
Actually, GoSUP Liveguard also supports this Features. Because it uses Push-Messages Family/Friends just have to add it to their Homescreen and subscribe Alerts.
We will make that more clear in the future when sending the Liveguard-Link to others.

### 4/5 — Good but…

*2025-06-18, version 2025.03*

I use this and like it
So well done
But I am not happy to pay a subscription, and think this is the wrong approach for this type of app
I would be happy to do a single payment for the pro features, perhaps you should consider this as I am sure I am not the only person that doesn’t want to pay a subscription for an am I am only going to use for 6 months of the year ( uk )

### 2/5 — Не обновляйтесь

*2024-09-12*

В обновленной версии половину функций засунули в подписку. При куче альтернатив это приложение сразу превратилось в тыкву

### 2/5 — Recording issue

*2024-05-10, version 2024.01*

This used to be a fantastic app but over the last couple of months it’s not recording and saving my paddles. I press go it’s recording my distance on phone or watch and then once I’m done and press stop nothing saves - IPhone 13 mini

### 4/5 — A good app, further refinement would be great

*2023-02-12, version 2023.3*

First the positives.

Stroke detection seems good, and is an interesting stat to see. Unsure of left/right accuracy.

General tracking is great, exporting to apple fitness is useful.

Improvements

Ability to trim the activity to allow for delay between finishing paddle and stopping the tracking on Apple Watch (can be a significant time when focused on packing gear down).

Export to Strava.

Refinement of left/right stroke tracking accuracy. Not a huge deal though.

### 4/5 — Very cool SUP app!

*2022-07-16*

This is a light weight, easy to use app with all the features I need to track my paddle route, analyze my strokes and check out my stats... Just wish I could export them for later viewing

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.
I would love to support that, maybe you can contact and telling me what format you would prefer.

### 3/5 — Promising app with flaws

*2022-03-29*

This is the prettiest sup app out there and has promise but is not accurate so unusable right now. I’m hoping the developer is able to to adjust and update. Happy to be a beta tester!! 

Like
- map and music control integration is good
- information layout is clean 
- the log is excellent, especially the graph that shows speed over distance. 

Needs improvement 
- cadence is inaccurate. It only counts about half the strokes (sup) and seems to be tied to pace vs arm movement. Going from race pace to dead stop results in a positive stroke count being displayed for over a minute
- paddle strokes in log is wrong. For example a 20 min sup workout with a consistent 40+spm is logged as 14spm average with a total of 345 strokes
- middle ‘efficiency’ bar has no explanation or use so is just taking up space. I’d prefer to see it used as a configurable data field
- needs a current speed display in addition to pace

### 3/5 — Needs more in Fitness app

*2022-01-05, version 1.4.4*

Easy to use app with loads of information on the watch. What’s letting it down is the lack of information on the iPhone. I don’t need a separate app but would like to have more information such as distance and pace within activities in the apple fitness app. You can’t import into Strava either, so can’t see historical data easily.

### 4/5 — App watch only

*2021-08-06*

Nice app

### 3/5 — Пока безполезное

*2021-08-01*

Все, что корректно считало приложение - это пройденную дистанцию. Остальные показания вообще не понятно откуда взялись. За 4 км пройденной дистанции на Сапе всего 300 ударов веслом и те якобы с одной стороны. Точности никакой. Зато интерфейс приятный. Но приложение бесполезно. Apple Watch 3

### 4/5 — Application super pour sorties SUP

*2021-07-25, version 1.4.2*

L’étoile manquante pour donner 5 étoiles serait un lien vers une application sur iphone pour lire et comparer les statistique des sorties précédentes. Ce serait merveilleux d’ajouter ce lien 🤞🏻

### 5/5 — Супер, лайк

*2021-07-05*

Отличное приложение для Apple Watch с супер-интерфейсом. С удовольствием бы купил донат. Трек, пульс и базовые данные активности записывает в приложение Фитнес, без деталей о гребле (они только в самом приложении на Apple Watch) и эти тренировки не импортируются в Strava. Но прямо лайк, работает отлично, спасибо! 🔥

### 4/5 — Good SUP app

*2021-04-30*

I like it. It’s easy, clear and nicely designed. The only reason for 4 starts instead of 5 is that it never gets my paddle strokes per side correct. I don’t know how difficult this is to code and I wouldn’t even expect it if it wasn’t part of the app but it consistently gets it wrong. Otherwise a great app that nicely integrates with Apple activity.

### 1/5 — Arghhh

*2026-03-24, version 2025.08*

I’m currently stood at the edge of the river freezing cold and I cannot get this app to work. I’ve given it all the permissions. Re installed it etc etc. this is a joke

### 1/5 — Missed 10 mile trip

*2025-08-30*

To record of it ... very sad

**Developer response:** Hi, I‘m very sorry for that! 
We fixed the issue in the meantime and it should not happen again! 
Can you contact me via e-mail, would love to give you a gift as excuse.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-06-29, version 2024.06*

This app just doesn’t work well. The logbook shows the wrong activities (from different apps). The recording isn’t accurate and it frequently crashes

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2023-10-01*

Used today and was able to look in on my progress through my paddle. Hit pause from the Home Screen and my workout completely disappeared. 4.5 miles of paddling just gone 😑 never had any issues but just updated to ios17 and I’m assuming that’s the issue.

### 1/5 — Difficulté

*2022-08-02, version 1.4.4*

Incapable de télécharger l’application

### 1/5 — Не грузит

*2020-08-18*

Не загружает на айфон

### 1/5 — Was great tracking my distance

*2020-06-20*

But 1. - shutting the app off- difficult 
2. Getting your data- takes a computer scientist- deleting and looking for an app that’s compatible w my watch AND phone
3. Read the reviews

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I certainly read the reviews and reply, as you can see below. In one of those replies, I explained, that i am currently working on a companion iPhone app. Currently GoSUP is a watch only app, as marked in the Appstore.
I would appreciate to know what I can improve on GoSUP. I’m a indie developer and I work on it with a lot of passion. I also try to give you the best experience possible!

### 1/5 — Нет загрузки

*2019-11-20*

Не загружается на iPhone  , iwatch

### 1/5 — Love the concept. Needs work

*2019-11-05*

The main screen is just black. Tried force quit, reinstall, restarting the watch - still just a plain black screen.

### 1/5 — Need to get location services fixed

*2019-10-04*

Was able to get it off the watch App Store but still can’t use since it complains about location services not being engaged even though I’ve given permissions 

I’ll keep trying since I’m optimistic these problems can be solved and new analytics developed to help improve sup paddling techniques

**Developer response:** Hej Tally supr, thanks for your feedback! 
I heard about this issue and it has todo how apple  handles independent watch apps! You have to open the Appstore on the apple watch, go to your profile and then purchases! From there you can download the app! I hope apple changes this process in the future.

*2024-07-13*

Друзья это шедевр. Спасибо за отдичную работу. Всем счастья, любви и удачи.

### 5/5 — Клевое приложение!

*2024-05-25*

Спасибо за классное и удобное приложение для сапбординга! 😘🏄🏼‍♀️

### 5/5 — Отличная программа!

*2023-09-30*

Просто отличная программа! Даже в базовой версии есть весь необходимый функционал. Молодцы, так держать!

### 5/5 — Go paddle

*2023-09-25, version 2023.19*

Great app for paddle boarding, kayaking gives u all u need and a bonus that it links with Apple Watch, allows u to check out your route aswell as other information

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2023-08-18*

Amazing app for iPhone and Apple Watch. It works great and gives you a lot of features for free. Thanks for this app!

### 5/5 — Perfect for my needs!

*2023-03-05, version 2023.8*

I found this app when the one I had used for 2 years (beginning with P and ending with R) suddenly asked me for a $47 annual fee to continue - and this is feature packed, and free!

### 5/5 — Excellent SUP app

*2022-08-14, version 1.4.4*

This is a great Apple Watch app for paddle boarding. Quick to use, records left/right paddle stats, GPS and calories. No companion app but I thinks that’s a positive. Apple health integration works and you can see the history directly on the watch. So pleased I found it and tried it. It has worked well every time.

Another summer on and still a great paddle tracker.

### 5/5 — Crashed wont reconnect

*2022-08-08*

Not good

### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2022-07-09*

Для Apple Watch отличное приложение. Почему-то не выгружает тренировку в приложение фитнесс

### 5/5 — Приложение

*2021-08-17*

В приложение написано Куплено, но на часах его нет! Apple Watch 6. 
Разработчик ответил оперативно и рассказал как правильно переустановить приложение 👍

**Developer response:** Благодарам за Ваш отклик. Причина того, что Вы не видете GoSUP среди Ваших покупок на телефоне заключается в том, что GoSUP существует только для applewatch (standalone app). Зайдите в Appstore с часов, прокрутите колёсико вниз и нажмите на профиль (account), потом покупки (purchages) и Вы сможете переинсталировать наше приложение.
Мы надеемся, что ответ Вас удоволетворил. Если так, можно попросить Вас улучшить Вашу оценку?
