Payer pour accéder à mes données

À peine croyable, j’achète une montre mais je dois payer un abonnement pour l’utiliser. Cela donne une très mauvaise image de Rip Curl.

Watch is ok app is broken

App always crashes can’t even upload my surfs to Surfline anymore because the app keeps crashing

Oferece muito pouco

Piorou em relação a versão anterior, não tem mais a opção de passar a sessão com o botão play, por exemplo. O GPS ainda falha. Marca algumas remadas curtas como onda.

Pas mal mais incomplète

Pas mal mais pour appli payante il manque pas mal de fonctionnalités : revoir les sessions mois par mois et pas uniquement sur le mois en cours, avoir une map globale de tous les spots où on a surfé, pouvoir mettre des notes « et demi »…
