What's New in Paddlz

1.0.8

December 2, 2024

Improved battery life performance and fixed an issue where sessions were not synchronizing properly.

User reviews

Not what I thought this would be.

Tracked heart/ time/ calories
Did not track when on water.
Need cell with you.

Only for Apple Watch users

What the app does not tell you is that it doesn’t work without a watch. If you don’t have an Apple Watch don’t bother wasting your money like I did. Not happy.

Poor update

The update takes too long.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. We assume you are referring that the new version released (6/9) took too long since the last release. For future reference we make beta versions public at our support page and these can be downloaded months before a release. For example, the BETA version for the latest release has been available for over 6 months with an update every month.

GPS was a little off — will try again summer 2020 now that updated

Update 2: Thanks for the response. Will give it a go in the summer

Update 1: Verbose logging did not improve GPS tracking. Doesn’t really serve my purpose, which is tracking canoe paddles. Good app otherwise. Just need more points taken when paddling

OP: The points are not taken at correct intervals and resulted in a very inaccurate map. Looks like 4 points were taken over a 2 hour period on one paddle. Not nearly enough points. I will be turning on verbose logging and hope that will increase accuracy.

Response from developer

Verbose logging is not related to GPS tracking. However, there was a change in the accuracy of the watch GPS that resulted in filtering out bad readings. We have removed the filter and now every single possible GPS point will be tracked.

Great potential but App often stops working mid-workout

This app has great potential, but is unreliable. I use it with an Apple Watch 4, it often will stop recording paddle strokes mid-workout or stop recording the GPS location.

In addition, it needs some UI improvements:
- except for #paddle count, fonts are too small to be able to glance at watch while paddling
- speed and distance should be displaying simultaneously
- possibly of “Locking” watch with eg crown or hard press to prevent accidental interactions with app while wearing paddling jacket etc
