### 5/5 — Epic and straight to the point

*2026-01-14*

You start > you climb > you tag. It’s perfect and easy

### 1/5 — Top mais à l’abandon

*2026-01-04, version 8.6*

Crash tout le temps, back to Redpoint..

### 4/5 — Strava integration on the fritz

*2025-07-29, version 8.6*

Love the app but for some reason the Strava integration has been failing lately… maybe an easy fix?

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-05-15*

The app works great. I had some slight issues with syncing sessions between Apple Watch and iPhone at some point, but those seem to be fixed now. 
The only feature I would like to have are different kinds of tick types. Mainly for flashes, but also repeats would be a nice addition.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas sur Apple Watch

*2025-03-30, version 8.3*

L’application ne démarre pas sur l’Apple Watch…

### 3/5 — Mises à jour?

*2025-02-01*

L’appli est un peu à l’abandon. Dommage. Je me suis rabattu sur Redpoint.

### 4/5 — No auto logging + problem with combined trainings

*2025-01-19, version 8.1*

There is problem with:
Synchronisation to app when training was ended by the watch and the phone was not conected 

Automatic Strava upload 

Lack of auto attempts  counting function based on altitude sensor 

Hope that app will be improved

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas sur Apple Watch

*2024-12-18*

L’application ne démarre pas sur l’Apple Watch…

### 5/5 — Apple Watch를 지원하는 클라이밍 앱중에 최고!

*2024-10-27*

한국어를 지원하는 다른 클라이밍 앱들은 피트니스앱과 애플워치를 지원하는 게 하나도 없는 패션클라이밍 앱뿐 인데 이 앱은 운동 기록도 정확히 되는 앱 중에서 가장 완성도가 높은 편입니다.
다른 앱 중에는 건강 앱에서 권한을 허용해도 계속 권한이 리셋되는 버그를 몇 년째 고치지 않는 앱이나 UI가 구린 앱투성이인데 반해서 이 앱은 단점이 거의 없는 앱입니다!
다음에 클라이밍 기록이 더욱 자세하게(등반한 높이 인식 등) 된다면 더욱 좋을 거 같습니다

리뷰 시점 버전 8.1

### 4/5 — Excellent App

*2024-07-06*

The only things this app are missing is the ability to say if you failed a bouldering and a rest timer. When I am on a V3, it can take me multiple tries to get it right. I would prefer to log it as a failed attempt rather than a success. I would also love a rest timer. I could have a rest timer for failed and one for success. That way I am not sitting around for 5 plus minutes resting. It’ll give me a gentle beep to say let’s get back to it. 

Amazing app!
