A “Must Have” App!!!

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!

dreadful

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.

Great app.. Except

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.

HELPFUL CRITIQUE

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

Too many permissions

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

Leider keine Speicherung der Kalorien und somit Bewegungsringe in Apple Heslth

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.

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.

Love it!

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.

Helpful support

I had an issue caused by myself cancelling a trial. They were able to sort it out for me and get me back on track. Thank you.

Use

Irritating as all get out. I cannot get my iWatch or iPhone to cease the damn app. It’s dangerous. I risk falling in the water and hitting my head on rocks trying to cease the damn app

Map shifting occurs in mainland China.

It is well understood that map offset issues exist in mainland China. However, unexpected problems have occurred during actual use due to this offset.

Specifically, I have noticed significant discrepancies between the starting and ending points of the GPS maps when syncing data to the Apple Fitness app. The starting point correctly matched the system map's location. However, shortly after starting, the positioning immediately shifted to another spot several hundred metres away.

Consequently, the rest of the map was recorded with this offset, and only the initial portion remains accurate to the actual map. If the entire map were offset, it would be understandable and acceptable. However, the current issue is quite strange and hard to accept.

When I open the map in the app, it appears correct despite the offset because the entire thing is shifted consistently. This is different from what I see in the fitness app, where only the starting section is not offset while everything else is, which creates a misalignment.

Hi there, thanks for leaving us a review. Unfortunately there are some map offset issues in some countries including China that are out of our control. We try our best to reduce how much these affect you tracking your sessions, but if you feel it's not working as expected please reach out to us via Help & Support so we can look into this further and fix it. Thanks.

Super App fürs Kajak

Paddle Logger ist wirklich die App wenn es für mich ums Paddeln geht. Es gibt die aller meisten Funktionen die man braucht. Das einzige was ich mir wünschen würde, wäre das man direkt Touren mit gpx Dateien in der Paddel logger App navigieren könnte. (Tour woanders exportieren und mit Paddel logger diese dann navigieren)

Hi there, thanks for leaving us a great review. We do already offer a feature to plot and explore new routes, but this could be improved by importing a GPX. We've added your idea to our list of things to think about as we work on future development of the app. Thanks again!

Good but I already have Strava

3 days trial of the pro version is stingy. This app doesn’t seem to do much more than my Strava app for what I need it for (local lakes and rivers in Michigan), I don’t need another subscription when Strava does more than this app does (besides maybe show you wind speed?)

Kostenlos funktioniert super

Die kostenlose Version scheint alles das zu machen, was man von ihr erwartet. Test Upgrade auf Pro schaltet nicht den Zugriff auf weitere Daten frei. Es bleibt mit einem Schloss verschlossen. Bei der Fehlersuche App deinstalliert und neu installiert, damit auch alle aufgezeichneten Paddelstrecken weg. Ich werde das pro Abo schnell beenden, bevor die Testphase vorbei ist und es mich Geld kostet.

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear you experienced some problems. We don't recommend deleting the app since it does risk losing your paddling history, you're always more than welcome to reach out to us via Help & Support instead so we can look into any issues for you. The free trial period should absolutely unlock all the Pro features, so it sounds like something went wrong if your trial was not recognised. Since we were not made aware at the time we were unable to resolve this for you however we would like to offer you another free trial period so you have chance to test out the Pro features. Please reach out to us via Help & Support in the Account tab and we can issue this to you.

Hi there, please reach out via Help & Support in your Account tab if you are unable to track any sessions. It may be that there are some GPS or Health permissions that need to be granted in order for your paddling workouts to track and save. We'd love to get this sorted for you.

Wouldn’t work. Gave up

Downloaded at home prior to one of my last paddles for the season. Enabled location services. Saw there was a big fat go button to start my paddle. Great. Simple. Got out on the water. Sun in my eyes and on the phone. Kept hitting Go but it wouldn’t go. Kept bringing up all the stuff I had enabled and not enabled (like Health, which I don’t use as I have reacted - medical symptoms - to three major brands of Smart watches and can’t use them. Just wanted to track my route and my time). I exited that numerous times and clicked on every other option on the screen but just ended up with terms and conditions etc. Kept looping back to the Go button that wouldn’t go. Wasted 20 mins of paddle time. Deleted app and ditched free trial.

Watch app back!

Developers have reverted support so that you can still use it with Watch OS 10 which is what I’ve been using. They took that away but they’ve put it back presumably due to customer request so I think that’s highly commendable. It’s always been a great thing to use and I’m fantastically pleased that they put back support for my watch (10). I use it exclusively from the watch. I just wish customer Service could’ve actually told me about the watch issue! (I have now had communications, but it seems the original email went missing).
