Existing Oarsum+ access and free allowances apply. • Ask about your latest or a saved paddle, or find your farthest and longest paddles with Siri. • Open Change Log in Settings under Help & Legal to revisit earlier releases.

User reviews

Need more apps like this!

I am a big believer that in order to see improvements in your workouts, you need to know your numbers. Sounds incredibly boring and tedious, right? Like eating the same chicken breast and broccoli for the rest of your life. In comes Oarsum and suddenly tracking is fun and my food has flavor! I wish I could apply this to ALL my workouts. It’s fool proof, interactive, comprehensive and sings to my tech geek heart. As you head out to your favorite waterway, grab your oar and activate Oarsum, your future self will thank you!

Find inner peace

This is a great app for keeping track of how far you paddle. Nothing like me on the open sea, paddling away, trying to find inner peace. Who want the hassle of messing with a map. Surely, not I. When I get lost at sea. This app helps guide me home.

Really cool idea, can’t wait to see future improvements

As someone who tracks their running distances, I like the idea of doing the same when I go kayaking. Now I can keep track and push myself further through the app instead of timing myself and keeping my own notes. Great work! Hopefully we can add friends soon and also create events for group kayaking. I’d love to meet others who have similar interests through this app.
