Love Paddle Logger App

I’ve been using the app for a few years now. I’ve always been impressed with its functionality and features. The team are always taking feedback from users and updating the software in response. Love being able to hear stats while I’m on the water and live that it now uploads to Strava. Thanks Team Paddle Logger

Hey there, thanks so much for the epic review! It means a lot to hear how much you love using Paddle Logger.

Great App

Fantastic support. I reached out to find out how to import Garmin info. They got back to me super fast with detailed instructions. Really helpful.

Great app. Optimized for Apple Watch

I’ve been using this app since the beginning. It’s still the best by far!

Great data, accurate, and consistent updates and improvements. The text messaging and live tracking to family provides a huge level of reassurance when I’m paddling open ocean or long runs.

This is the one you want for SUP training or just logging your adventures!

Amazing app
Works great and just how i want it to want
Family always informed when and where I am on the water
Great safety device too

You wanted a review as soon as I signed up so you get one.

I am not real excited about this app so far. It only measure in metric. I can figure it out, but it would be nice to have a way to switch. Would also be nice to be able to actually use the app without having to give you my credit card information and pay you for a year for my free week trial. I will have to remember to cancel it. I used your app one time before to test it out. Was not impressed. Maybe it is worth $29. If not. I will cancel it after this evenings paddle. Maybe set your model up to let your customers try the full suite and then ask them to pay, but what the do I know. I am gonna try it out this evening. If it works ok, you can have my money this year. Hope it impresses me. I have not been so far.

It frequently fails to work

Out of 100 sessions 31 failed to record anything but time from my Apple ultra 2 watch

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

Mr Ekins

Won’t let me add contact, select apple data synch

Unhappy with changes

Too many false alarms freaking out my wife


Though the app provides lots of data pertaining your performance, I primarily use it for the GPS tracking and notifications.
I typically paddle in the ocean and tidal rivers by myself. This app gives my wife peace of mind knowing where I am and that I’m not in trouble.

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!

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!!

Apple Watch Stuck on KM

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

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.

False alarm

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

I love it

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