What's New in PaddlePal

2026.22

September 12, 2026

Hi PaddlePals, This release brings a brand-new forecast. It gives you a clear go or no-go verdict, highlights the best window to get on the water, and breaks down the day hour by hour. Severe weather alerts now show alongside each spot’s difficulty rating. Workouts can now pause automatically when you stop paddling, on both iPhone and Apple Watch. You can also color your route by heart rate zone to see where you worked hardest. Finish a challenge and you’ll get a celebration and an achievement card to share, complete with the route you paddled. Planning is simpler: plan and follow routes straight from Home, and edit them right on the map. Tap to add a waypoint, drag to move it, and undo any change. Race Mode on iPhone has a cleaner setup and shows the distance left while you race. Got an idea? The new Feedback and Ideas page lets you suggest features, vote, and follow our roadmap. Plus plenty of fixes: routes save to Apple Health more reliably, recovered workouts keep their distance and route, and cropping a workout keeps its thumbnail and heart rate chart. 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.
