Great for couples
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.
Great
Crashes Often
Response from developer
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.
Garbage
Response from developer
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
Interesting concept - confusing implementation
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.

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.
Hard to find routes
Response from developer
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.
Not usable - app pages go beyond phone screen
Response from developer
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.
Super glitchy
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We’d love any more info you could provide about what was glitchy at support@pebbleclimbing.com
Great addition to e-guides
Finally able to track my progress!
Aside from that, I’m happy to have a way to track progress and look back at what I tried and sent.
Want to love but won’t work
Response from developer
Hey ReenDog, thanks for the feedback. The "Find Climbs with your Camera" feature is still fairly experimental. We use pictures of the start holds as markers to find climbs using the AR. We can't leverage lidar since most phones don't have it yet, so the iPhone 12 is trying to find the climbs in the same way as the rest of the phones. We're still experimenting and hope to get it working better, but for now it's probably best to use the normal gym navigation to find climbs and log ascents. Early next year, we plan on adding some new technology that will help you navigate your way around the gym without so many clicks.
I like the app, but routes need to be more clear
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback, FirebirdSWM. We realize it can be hard matching the routes in the app with the one you just climbed, but we are working on a solution to this and it should be in the app early next year if not sooner.
Fun!
Pebble is great!
I also really like that you can compete with your friends at your local crag or the gym and see where you stack up on the leaderboard.
If you're into developing new areas, it makes it really easy to create guides with beta descriptions, route characterics, media, and maps.
You can even filter climbs in a guide based on what you're looking for.
Are you just looking for overhanging, crimpy v6s at Joes?
Just filter the list of climbs in the Joes guide.
You can do the same thing indoors, too.
Have you sent all the Red Dots in the OG Bouldering at the Front?
If you'd been tracking your climbs in Pebble, you'd know!
Best of all, though, there are new features coming out all the time!
