Great app for kayakers

Really nice way to track your outings and sign up for monthly challenges to encourage you to get out on the water. Give it a try!

Simply Useful Paddle App

With a new kayak and quick (7 minute) lake access, paddling has been added to my upper body workout plan. Tracking progress without a dedicated app on my iPhone linked to my Apple Watch proved less than satisfactory. Lots of reviews required the download of a few best rated apps for comparison. It didn’t take long to discover how convenient Paddle Logger was for a 70 year old, non-tech friendly guy. I’m still in the free mode, gathering more experience with the data collection process. That said, I have run across a glitch I couldn’t resolve. The help info on the app was useful for eliminating what wasn’t the problem.

Yesterday I sent a help request to resolve the glitch. I am impressed with how quickly the support team (Thank you, Holly) responded to my email. They are currently reviewing the Bug Report and screenshots to understand from whence my problem lies. Once resolved I will be purchasing the Pro version to access all the nerdly data available. Yes, I am confident the team will make me happy. FYI - this review was human generated. 😂

Do Not Spend Money on this App!!!

This app does not work correctly most of the time. I bought a yearly subscription to this app thinking it would work. For the amount of money I spent, I would expect it to work much better. Don’t waste your money on this
