Great app. But....

Great app and easy to use. Had an issue to keep playing Spotify when starting a plunge but found a way around that. However. The paywall to get any insight beyond a week is lame and a hard stop for me continuing with the app. I'd rather have annoying ad banners. It was great for a while

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words and the honest feedback! The Spotify issue has been fixed in the latest version, music from other apps no longer pauses, so it'll keep playing right through your plunge. Sorry it was a hassle before. Regarding the paywall, I'm sorry the business model isn't the right fit. One thing we'll always stand by is: no ad banners, ever. They're intrusive and annoying, and we'd rather keep the app clean than fund it that way. Totally understand if it's still a dealbreaker, but wanted to be upfront about where we stand. Thanks for giving it a real go 🙏

Easy and great way to track my progress

Pumped to have found an app to do this! And the extra time spent feature is huge too incase you want to stay in longer than originally planned. Great app

Response from developer

Love this, really appreciate you sharing it. Glad to hear you’re tracking your progress and making use of the extra time feature too. Glad the app’s been hitting the mark for you, keep pushing it!

Great app. No bs ads. Great data log. Nice countdown before jumping in and post plunge add on timer.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot, really appreciate this! Glad the countdown and post-plunge timer are useful to you. Keep up the cold water exposure habit!

Great App

I never review apps but this one is great. I got into cold water immersion first and was trying to use apple health to track heart rate but it never did. It always gave me a range. I wanted minute by minute information to compare. IceBuddy allows you to track your heart rate throughout at each second (if you use a smart watch) which helps me keep track of my bodies response. Love! It!

Great app

It’s very simple and very user friendly. Works great with Apple Watch and health app.

Response from developer

Really appreciate this. Keeping it simple and making it work smoothly with Apple Watch and the Health app is exactly what I’m aiming for. Glad it’s been working great for you 🙌

Great Plunging Tracker

Started cold plunging in January ‘25 after my wife got me a tub for Christmas (kind of thought she was joking). This app helped me with tracking as I extended my time and then lowered the temp. I get a lot of the subjective benefits of cold plunging and going back and seeing my plunges on this app as it compares to my other health data is really valuable in seeing the benefits. Love the watch app. Only suggestion would be to app a temperature measurement for indoor tracking as well. Would love to have that correlate with my tub’s measured temp.

Response from developer

Love that what started as a Christmas surprise turned into a real habit. It’s great to hear the app has helped you progressively extend time, lower the temp, and actually see the benefits reflected alongside your other health data, that’s exactly the kind of long-term story we hope to support. And thanks for the indoor temp idea too, definitely noted.

Absolutely brilliant App. So useful

A fantastic App. Really helpful for recording your dip whether in an ice pod, river or sea. If you’re into dip you’d be mad not to use it. So useful for timing your dips and recording them. And now you can record your dip with a photo or two. Absolutely brilliant 👍🏼😊

Simple but does what it should do

I use IceBuddy to track my ice-bath sessions in my cold-plunge barrel, and it works perfectly for that. The app offers clean, easy-to-read stats and is very straightforward to use. I also like that I can occasionally share my progress with others. A great, no-nonsense tool for ice-bath tracking.

Great!

This app was the first and definitely the last cold plunge tracker app I installed. Does a great job!

Great app

Great little app, so easy to use, has a great countdown timer (so counts down from whatever time you set it on till your plunge time begins) really handy to track everything 😊

Great App

Very simple and easy to use. All the right info. Great tracking.

Ice Buddy Rocks

I love the Ice Buddy app. It’s great to track my progress. I enjoy that it allows me to increase my time if I plunge longer. Helps me stay committed to my plan. Thanks Ice Buddy!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words! Love hearing that IceBuddy is helping you stay consistent and push your limits. We’re committed to making it the best tool for tracking cold exposure, so if you ever have ideas or features you’d like to see, I’m all ears. Keep crushing those plunges!

Great App

Coole App zum tranken vom eisbaden. Wenn die Apple Health Werte noch reinkommen ist das noch besser.

J adore as the French would say

Love the app helps me hit my recovery goals

Excellent app!

Great app to track your progress on cold plunges! You can add notes about each plunge, as well as temperature and time. When your time is up, another tan with “extra time” pops up and this is incredibly useful. There’s no sync of data with watches or health apps, which is the only thing missing to be simply perfect.
