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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Want to love but won’t work *2020-11-10* This app won’t find climbs for me to track. I have the iPhone 12 Pro which has really good AI due to the liDAR scanner but this app cannot seem to find routes. Wish i could use this app more to track my progress with my phone. **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — I like the app, but routes need to be more clear *2020-10-27* I love the idea of this app, but I often get self conscious when using it because it takes me forever to figure out which route I just completed. It’s not always necessarily clear which area of the gym I’m in, so it’s hard to figure out which route it was. It appears each route in the gym has a number, so maybe there could be a feature where you look it up by number? **Developer response:** 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Fun! *2020-05-29* I’m really enjoying logging my gym climbing on pebble... it’s honestly a bit addictive. I also like being able to see what walls my gym has reset! I haven’t used the outdoor features much but plan to use them to log my climbing over the summer. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Pebble is great! *2020-05-26* I really like using it to track my climbing sessions both at the gym and outside at the crag. 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! ### 5/5 — Brilliant and Intuitive *2020-04-22* I can’t wait for the gyms to open back up so I can keep tracking my climbs with pebble. It gets me so psyched and helps me track my progress. I love the leaderboard feature and overall the app is really beautiful and easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
