### 5/5 — A “Must Have” App!!!

*2026-08-16*

I absolutely LOVE the Paddle Logger app! I started getting into kayaking and SUP end of Jan 2024. Someone suggested that I download this app. I love seeing how many sessions that I have logged, the split times, the mileage I’ve logged, the route that it displays I took, safety features I have access to (contacting others if I don’t return from a scheduled trip) etc.! I’ve been able to beat my 1 mile race time, time & time again and have pushed myself to hit certain mileage goals per trip. If you’re interested in all of the above, you must download this app! Happy paddling!

**Developer response:** Wow! Thanks for the epic review! It's awesome to hear how Paddle Logger has been a part of smashing your goals and it sounds like you've been working hard. Happy paddling!!

### 1/5 — Apple Watch Stuck on KM

*2026-07-23, version 2026.9*

Emailed support several times to fix this issue and never heard back from them.

### 1/5 — dreadful

*2026-07-15, version 2026.7*

not at all intuitive, despite paying a lot of money for subscription support do not respond. I just can’t work out how to log manually, how to edit stuff. I consider this app to be an absolute waste of money.

### 5/5 — Great app.. Except

*2026-07-14, version 2026.7*

Overall, I enjoy using this app. I moved over from PaddleWays and have used this ever since. My biggest problem with this app is the end-of-session button. Twice now I’ve hit the distress button, causing unnecessary stress for the people on my call list. There should be a clear button on the app to end the session away from the emergency button. It’s not well laid out. Please fix. 

Update 7/14/26
The App developer contacted me, stating they are working on an update to the distress button location. Thank you for responding! I will continue to use this app and look forward to the update.

### 5/5 — False alarm

*2026-07-13, version 2026.7*

For some reason reason probably users error.  Set off alarm, worrying family.  Don’t understand why.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-07-13, version 2026.7*

The app is perfect for route tracking and logistics, I highly recommend it

### 3/5 — HELPFUL CRITIQUE

*2026-07-13, version 2026.7*

Add interval workout options, try and cater more to heart rate zone trainings and not just trying to get good times for your paddles, if this was a all around paddling workout app it would have more potential for a lot of paddler to choose this app for all there paddling needs

### 1/5 — Too many permissions

*2026-07-12, version 2026.7*

I just want to use the app like I have for the past 9 years. I don’t want to type in my health. The app will not work. I just want to hit GO

### 2/5 — Leider keine Speicherung der Kalorien und somit Bewegungsringe in Apple Heslth

*2026-06-25*

Das Workout enthält 722 kcal Aktivitätsenergie. In Health erscheint das Workout. Beim Öffnen von „Aktivitätsenergie insgesamt“ steht jedoch „Keine Daten“, und die Kalorien werden nicht in der täglichen Aktivitätsenergie berücksichtigt.

**Developer response:** Hi there, please reach out to us via Help & Support so we can look into this further. It may be that there are some additional permissions that need granting in order for the calorie data to sync to Apple Health.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-06-16, version 2026.6*

It does every thing I need and want it to do and more. Shows the path we went on a Google map along with the speed color code. Time, distance plus more.
