Surf sessions don’t record

The main reason I don’t upgrade to the paid subscription is that the sessions never log. I have sent countless reports but the issue has never been acknowledged or resolved. This didn’t happen last summer with the app so I’m not sure changed. Otherwise the layout is great and forecasts are helpful.

Not so lazy

Seems like a lot of stuffing around to get it to work, I/m lazy enough not to worry about finishing this off

Great app

I like how you can create your own spots with ease. My only suggestion is to be able to see all of your spots on a map. Maybe a map button on the bottom where you can see all your spots and see a preview of how it’s doing.

Exact predictions on any spot

This app is super accurate. I went to my local spot just to see how it compared and it was spot on

Surfline but cheaper and better

This app is great I just got into body boarding and finding a spot has been challenging there so much information that Surfline dose not have. It’s also really organized and easy to find your spots and the session tracking is definitely gonna help me because I can track my progress and write notes to know what to improve on overall w app and it’s $50 cheaper than Surfline.

Super Cool

Super stoked about the app, so cool how it takes observations into account with raw data to know when a spot will work best for you. Can’t wait to see how it’ll evolve!

Not a free trial!

I signed up for a free 2 week trial, but was immediately charged for the monthly auto-renewal. Requested a refund, hopefully it will be honored.

Limited userbility

Some good features. Pretty standard data though. Very limited to find data for specific beaches as it only shows your best bet (which is just geographically suggested) or pre programmed spots. Id prefer to be able to view data for all beaches and make my own decision. Not just data for a suggested location at 1 or 2 local beaches. The best bet bubble is annoying as it’s huge and in the way on the map. It can’t be removed.
And seriously, only in mph and feet?

Almost there

A friend and I thought this up before we knew this existed. How great it would be to have an app that captured the perfect conditions and alerted us when they repeated? Unfortunately it’s not that easy. Even when things seem to be just like last time it’s not. Something is missing. I wish the interface was easier to navigate, like an apple product. Unfortunately I find it difficult to see and do anything useful with the app so I rarely use it.

Response from developer

Hey nonyobusiness! Thanks a ton for the review - could you email me at nickp@lazysurfer.app? I'd love to try to dig in with you on what's missing!

Great session tracker

Love this app and the more I use it the better the predictions get. Love making notes about things that happened, stand out waves and whining surfed with.

Amazing !

Very helpful and accurate !

worth getting

it’s pretty accurate, but the charts could be a little more simple. a but hard to look at, but VERY good

Decent app

Overall something I check but don’t use it to decide whether or not to go out to surf. I like to log my sessions but sometimes the wave height that is recorded for that day is not what the wave height actually was. Also the ratings are not the most accurate even on spots that I have a lot of sessions logged.

very helpful

i just got this app and it has been very helpful because it tells me when the surf is good and it is a good app to trust.

If you need this app to check your local spot. its not your local spot

kooks nowadays think its
cool to ruin a good spot with phone apps and details about places no one other than the people who live close by should know. Here is the deal. if you need to check an app for your local surf spot. thats not your local surf spot. . and i said this on instagram and somehow got deleted. wonder how that happened. barnies.

Good

Yo this app is fire, better than surfline 💯💯💯

Great idea but doesn’t respond or work fast

Nice idea but it’s so laggy between clicks that I never use it. Too bad I surf San Diego daily x10 years and would love to start using this as my surf report journal. I just don’t have the patience for the app to freaking load, and the lag/loading between clicks makes recording stuff a chore that I don’t need. Maybe they’ll make it work simpler and quicker? Lighter interface? Who knows. Until then Surfline shows me the Spots with the touch of a button, no lag, and is WAY more worth the money. The issues I have had are on a iPhone 13 pro max with T-Mobile at 5G in San Diego.

Response from developer

Hey Hvdyjb! Sorry for the trouble! Thanks for letting me know what phone you're using. It's very strange - it's working very quickly and smoothly for me on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. If you're able to I'd really appreciate if you could email me at nickp@lazysurfer.app and I can sort this out for you. Thanks! - Nick

Great app

Great for surf reports and logging my sessions!

Very Comprehensive

I downloaded this app after I saw it on instagram and was happily surprised. I used to use surfline for everything but Lazy Surfer is way more detailed.

It’s firing!

Awesome app to tell wave forecast. Super simple to use and nice front end design!
