What's New in Kinapod

1.4

September 23, 2026

Four new sports, all powered by an AirPod you already own. SWIM: pod in a waterproof pouch under your cap. Laps, distance and pace per length count themselves, with a live pace card at the wall, a water lock against splashes, and Strava upload. GOLF: pod in the end of the grip. Tempo, backswing and follow-through length, face rotation for putts, estimated club speed, and a 3D replay of every stroke with its measured arcs. CYCLING: pod on the wheel hub for true speed and distance, or on the leg for cadence. Customizable bike computer screen, Bluetooth power meters and heart rate straps, Normalized Power, TSS, laps, auto-pause and an optional wind gauge. JIANZI: pod on the shuttlecock base. Rallies, kicks, airborne time and tempo, counted automatically. Also: a frisbee game-mode disc toss to decide who starts, Report a Problem from any session, optional anonymous data sharing to improve the algorithms (off by default), permission prompts moved to after you pick your sport, and detection and accuracy improvements across all sports.

A++

Dumbfounded from how well this works. Highly recommend for disc golfers who want throw data.

Amazing for disc golf tracking

I didn't want to drill a hole in my discs so I got some tape and hoped it held as a quick test and it works amazing! Gets hyzer and nose angles as well as the speed and spin. My only complaint is there's a "calibrating tone frequency" that started playing from the AirPod in my ear, the one on the disc, and from my phone. Hopefully a small bug that will be patched soon but the app itself is amazing!
