### 5/5 — Simple but does what it should do

*2025-12-20, version 2.12.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-12-17, version 2.11.2*

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

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-11-15, version 2.9.0*

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 😊

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-11-01, version 2.9.0*

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

### 5/5 — Ice Buddy Rocks

*2025-10-17, version 2.9.0*

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!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-09-15, version 2.8.1*

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

### 5/5 — J adore as the French would say

*2025-08-29, version 2.7.1*

Love the app helps me hit my recovery goals

### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant App. So useful

*2025-08-16, version 2.7.1*

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 👍🏼😊

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2025-07-08, version 2.5.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant

*2025-04-20, version 2.1.1*

Absolutely brilliant app for ice baths. The countdown makes it easier to just get in rather than wait and wonder should I get in.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-03-24, version 2.1.0*

The app is great. It works well, no delays. 
it is simple to use and has no gimmicks, no hidden subscriptions. 
One of the few apps that does everything it needs to. 
The tracking of stats is simple and the ability to have a timer is amazing. 

The best feature for me is being able to set a timer for the plunge and then if I decide to stay longer then anticipated, I can, and this can be added to the timer so simply. 

Super useful😎

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-03-06, version 1.8.0*

Love the simplicity. Great UI.

### 5/5 — nIce Cool Companion

*2025-03-02, version 1.8.0*

A simple UI that is easy to use and provides a one stop shop for logging and timing your plunges. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Stopwatch pauses!

*2024-11-17, version 1.4.0*

First time using this, I started a session and it counted down from 4 minutes to 3 minutes and 12 seconds and stayed there. Countdown didn’t resume until I touched the face of the watch.  I guessed on the four minute mark and got out and left the watch on.  It continued to pause.  If I relied on this app, I could’ve been in the water for 10 minutes or more. ridiculous and useless.

### 2/5 — Stopped showing temperature

*2026-06-26, version 2.20.1*

Stopped showing temperature. Don’t know why. Don’t know how to fix it

### 2/5 — Great app. But....

*2026-05-28, version 2.19.1*

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

### 3/5 — New starter to cold plunge

*2026-04-26, version 2.17.0*

Really easy app. Unfortunately after using for a few weeks I can no longer view my heart rate and have to pay to see this. May have to use another app 😕

### 3/5 — New to cold water therapy

*2025-01-30, version 1.7.1*

I’m new to cold water therapy and have been logging my dips in my outdoor tub for 30 days now in Apple Notes. 
Downloaded this app as it has all the same info I can log daily……except one (for me personally)…a log where I can describe how I felt before, during and after my dip, as well as any other info I feel is relevant to my daily routine.

### 4/5 — A history request.

*2025-05-23, version 2.3.0*

App looks simple and easy to use so far 👍🏻
Could you add years to the insights so historic plunges from past years can be added?

### 4/5 — Tidy, nice functional app

*2025-03-18, version 2.0.1*

This is a great little cold plunge tracking app. I especially wanted an app that had  a watch companion, which this does.
I notice that the watch is recording heart rate during the plunge, it would be good to see this data, but I can’t seem to find it in the main app.

### 4/5 — Great simple app

*2025-02-18, version 1.8.0*

My Apple Watch is monitoring my heart rate, can this data be saved?

### 4/5 — Good but basic

*2024-12-03, version 1.4.0*

Maybe link your app with other activity apps like Strava or garmin

### 4/5 — Great

*2024-11-20, version 1.4.0*

Great app but is missing the weather temp, found this helpful as my pod is outside and is affecting the water temp. Also if you stay in longer you can’t amend the record!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-24, version 2.20.2*

Great app for tracking progress

### 5/5 — Ice buddy

*2026-06-23, version 2.20.1*

This has been the best Ice bath app I have used. I have been doing ice baths for a few years, I have used others however this is the best one it transfers data to ever apps nice an easy. 10/10 from me.

### 5/5 — Easy and great way to track my progress

*2026-04-06, version 2.15.1*

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

### 5/5 — Me likey

*2026-04-02, version 2.15.1*

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

### 5/5 — Health

*2026-03-18, version 2.15.0*

Best one

### 5/5 — Me likey

*2026-03-16, version 2.14.1*

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

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-04, version 2.13.3*

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!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-02, version 2.13.3*

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

### 5/5 — Great Plunging Tracker

*2026-02-22, version 2.13.3*

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.

### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant App. So useful

*2026-01-10, version 2.12.2*

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 👍🏼😊
