## What is Pebble Climbing?

Gamify your climbing with Pebble!

Pebble helps you improve your climbing by giving you a grade pyramid to complete each week. Finish the pyramid and move up a level. If you don't, you'll get 2 more tries before you drop back down a level. Each level is tailored to your abilities and helps direct you to climbs that are appropriate for you.

In addition to the gamification, Pebble offers these other features:
•  Follow your friends in the FEED to see their sends and media or your gym to see when a new area has been reset or if any events are happening soon.
• Find climbs for your next trip in the OUTDOOR GUIDEBOOK or give back by adding climbs that you've sent to the guidebook through the app in a wiki-style.
• Track your nightly sessions at the local CLIMBING GYM if they've joined Pebble or even if they haven't. 
• Find climbing-specific WORKOUTS & CIRCUITS that other users have created to do specifically at your gym, your local crag, or at home. 
• Get RECOMMENDATIONS based on your current climbing ability and what climbs you need to send to reach the next grade.
• ANALYZE your climbing and training using our charts to see your progress and plan your next sessions.
• SCHEDULE workouts and sessions and track your successful completion automatically.

### 5/5 — Great for couples

*2026-04-01*

My wife and I have been using this app for the past couple of months, and it has really opened the door to new conversations and insights that we would not normally have. The games and prompts are engaging, thoughtful, and spark curiosity about parts of our lives and relationship that often do not come up in everyday conversation.

As working professionals, it can be difficult to focus on anything outside of work, especially during the small windows of time we have to unwind. I have found this app to be incredibly refreshing because it gives us a chance to be playful, reconnect, and make the most of those odd moments in the day when we finally get a break.

I would highly recommend this app to couples who want to keep things fresh, strengthen their connection, and create more meaningful conversations in their relationship.

If you want, I can also make it sound more casual, more heartfelt, or more like a short App Store review.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-12-13*

Very nice app and great developer who responds quickly to big reports and is open to feature suggestions

### 2/5 — Crashes Often

*2024-11-18*

App is good, until it isn’t. Good luck selecting a dot on the wall, immediate crash every time.

**Developer response:** Hi Jake, we fixed a few bugs in the map and haven’t seen that error, but everything should be working well now. Thanks for reporting this bug.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-01-05*

Useless and boring

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Have you tried filling out a pyramid? We’ll also be adding more games you can play while you’re climbing in the near future. Hopefully that will decrease the useless and boring…ness of it

### 3/5 — Interesting concept - confusing implementation

*2023-05-16*

Its interesting to have an app to track attempts and sends during a workout. However, a lot of the actions I want to do are difficult or missing from this app. 

It should be easier to use the session to add climbs. Currently a session is useless to me. I have to navigate to the “Gyms” tab, pick the gym I’m at, find the section, find the climb, and indicate if I sent it or “fell”. For sessions to be useful, I’d love if you could pin the gym you are at and if you could save some routes as your active projects. I want to open the app and click once or twice to indicate if I sent or not. The current flow discourages me from recording climbs. The “recommended problems” that you already have is a much better UI, but I did not find it initially. There’s also when you scroll down on an individual gym and click “All Boulders”. This UI is also decent. Why are there 3 different ways to filter/mark sends? And the 2 good ones are hard to find!

The app freezes if I click Profile > Wristband but try to back out.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.  I’m glad you found the way to get to your gym by following the gym and then navigating to it through your dashboard from the recommended climbing section. You can click on the gym card there and get directly to the areas of the gym.  Keeping the clicks down is always a priority. That’s why we’ve added a few ways to get to places. We’re currently working on a wristband and scanner solution that would further simplify things and keep the interaction in the app to a minimum. Look for it in your gym soon.

### 2/5 — Hard to find routes

*2023-01-16*

No left to right option? I like being able to sort by age, filter out setters etc but every guidebook list left to right (or reverse).

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We had a left to right option for a while but it required more work from the setters and in general, wasn’t used by gyms. We may bring it back and try to encourage them to use it.

### 1/5 — Not usable - app pages go beyond phone screen

*2022-10-15*

I was barely able to log in because the check box to agree to the terms was halfway off of my iPhone SE 2020 screen. When I did login, I was unable to get past the 3-page intro because the scrolling dots were over the “get started” button and wasn’t letting me select it. Would just go back to the second page. Bummed I can’t even use this app.

**Developer response:** Sorry I didn't see this until now. Someone else brought this issue up and it's been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience, but you should be good now.

### 3/5 — Super glitchy

*2022-05-07*

App keeps freezing

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We’d love any more info you could provide about what was glitchy at support@pebbleclimbing.com

### 5/5 — Great addition to e-guides

*2021-10-16*

Thanks for taking the time to create this app. I think accessibility in climbing is something often frowned upon, glad to see you are helping people share info.

### 4/5 — Finally able to track my progress!

*2021-10-06*

There’s a problem where I can’t report a missing climb. It says to select a grade, but it won’t let me. 

Aside from that, I’m happy to have a way to track progress and look back at what I tried and sent.
