What's New in PaddlePal

2026.24

October 5, 2026

Hi PaddlePals This release makes PaddlePal faster and more reliable. The app now feels quicker and smoother, with fewer freezes when you open it, switch tabs, finish a paddle, or watch the live map while recording. We’ve squashed a bunch of bugs too: deleted workouts now stay deleted, challenges no longer flicker away while they load, and auto-pause works reliably even while you’re scrolling. Importing from Apple Health no longer creates duplicates, trimming a workout keeps its calories, and race distance and split feedback are more accurate. Safety fix: a prepared emergency SOS is no longer lost if you leave the app before it’s sent. We also tidied up wording across languages and made charts and banners friendlier for VoiceOver and Reduce Motion. Happy paddling!

Love this

This app is great at finding some awesome places to paddle. Makes planning a sup trip really easy.

Shocking

Twice now I’ve recorded a paddle but when ending and trying to save the paddle it comes up with error and does not save it absolutely shocking pay money for an app and it doesn’t even work scandalous.

Had some issues but developer worked hard to fix.

Had some issues with the weather not loading, it froze when trying to save, then lost the trip then the links to support via email ended in rejected email messages.
But I can understand it’s not easy to ensure every wrinkle on every platform is ironed out before an app is launched- what sets apart the poor from the great is the way a company fixes a problem. And I have to say this developer worked quickly to fix the issues, including having me test the fixes. I’m impressed and now looking forward to using all the great features of this app.
