No better than the free app I’ve been using. ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2020-06-03, version 5.0.2* The Watch app cant be installed because it needs an update. The GPS track seems to be inaccurate. Pretty disappointing for $10. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-05-24, version 5.0.2* Bought it work on my i watch as advertised unfortunately it does not ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2020-05-11, version 5.0.2* I have never reviewed anything before, but this app is despicable especially considering the $10 price tag! Not only did it not track my route, it never tracked my speed. The only thing It did correctly was the stopwatch Function. Yet, if I’m not moving at all it says I’m going 2-4MPH. This is around my house, where there are no network issues. Save your money and get Map my Ride unless you want to purchase an expensive stopwatch. ### 3/5 — Top speed way off *2019-07-15, version 5.0.2* I have a track that says my top speed is 11.4 mph, and took a screen shot that showed me at 14 mph. No trees or tall buildings in the way..Really disappointing that for the past few years it has lied to me about top speeds. ### 1/5 — You can’t post your results *2018-06-05, version 5.0.2* You can’t post your results to Facebook. I want my money back ### 1/5 — Don't buy until update! *2017-03-11, version 5.0.2* Working very inaccurate. No connection (does' work at all) with iHealth. Watch app don't measure pulse!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome Skating App!!! *2016-07-21, version 5.0.2* I love this skating app! I am a hard core outdoor street skater and the app is so easy to use to track your skates. All standard metrics are tracked including calories consumed. Keep track of your skate via mapping and runtime stats as you go with voice feedback. They do a good job up keeping up to date with IOS. I have been using it a few years now regularly. Fantastic app in my view. 5 stars for sure. ### 1/5 — Privacy *2016-07-13, version 5.0.2* Having the only 'Option' for GPS tracking to be 'Always (even when not using the app)' or 'Never' makes what would otherwise be a terrific app a privacy invading POS. ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2016-01-21, version 5.0.2* I wanted an app that would track my movement put it on a map and give me some basic telemetry, and iskate works great!(Even on my old iphone 4S running ios 9.2) It only requires that your device has a gps chip and doesn't use cellular or wifi data to collect information. I would however love a feature that allowed me to download new tracks and get turn by turn directions. ## Frequently asked questions about iSkate ### What skating metrics does iSkate track? iSkate tracks current speed, average speed, maximum speed, total distance, trip distance, current altitude, climbed altitude, burned calories, and trip time.
