Now it does not sync at all with between watch and phone Hope to get the app working! ### 2/5 — Not updating *2025-07-01, version 10.08* App does not update. Stuck on 18 March and no way to reset that I am aware of. ### 2/5 — It’s good, but glitchy *2025-02-14, version 10.08* It’s probably the best surf watch app I’ve found, but still a bit buggy. Several of the features don’t work, or even show up. Needs a few big fixes ### 3/5 — Look , I realize Elon Musk didn’t invent this app to use with starlink *2024-10-20, version 10.08* But it’s accurate when I dock start! Love it. But when I surf it makes it look like every crash is a wave caught. Even if I never even stood up ### 2/5 — Crashes, need to be fixed *2024-08-19, version 10.08* So the watch part is great an all but when I wanna see the stats and summaries after my surf Replay Waves And setup sections close the and app and crash Also can delete beaches that are inputed, so choose your beaches carefully, otherwise this need to be fixed ### 2/5 — Tide dial *2024-08-14, version 10.08* Tide dial is not updating (and just stuck with the areow pointing up and 0.0 tide indications. Could you fix this as this is one of the more important things to know in the fly. ### 1/5 — Need to go back to basics *2024-03-15, version 10.08* This app was originally very good. Now too many broken features. Wave tracking is way off. You can no longer select boards from the quiver. Session ratings don’t work. Session heart rate graph reporting is meaningless if not broken. And that stupid way to start a session. Why. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-02-11* With every new update app become less and less functional. At first spot selection was broken, than tides prediction left the chat. Paddle counter and wave counter stoped working last month. And now The app endlessly recalculating my previous session and I can’t use it anymore. Developers totally burried their app. After last update - can’t start surf session. I press START button and nothing happens. Tried to reinstall the app- nothing helps. ### 2/5 — Latest updates are bad *2024-02-06, version 10.08* This app used to be great but seems a bit buggy with latest app update\watch OS update. The tide info seems out on the watch & doesn’t show on the phone app, same with the forecast, it won’t update on the watch unless I open the phone app. Clicking on the forecast on the watch used to give you a lot of info on current conditions & you could scroll through the forecast but now it only shows current wave height. Hopefully this improves with the next update. ### 3/5 — Watch *2024-02-01, version 10.08* Unable to get watch location set ### 1/5 — Stürzt leider ab *2024-02-01* Seit den letzten Updates kann ich die App leider nicht mehr starten! ### 1/5 — Parou de funcionar *2024-01-30* Última atualização foi uma esperança porém não funciona, acabei indo para daw patrol e gostei muito. Espero que vcs acertem esta app era muito bom ### 1/5 — App totally dead *2024-01-15, version 10.08* Was great when it lasted but now the app says ‘undergoing a major transformation…be patient’ It’s frozen at that and has been for weeks now. No email address to the developer or any fixes. RIP ### 4/5 — Good but has some bugs to fix *2024-01-14, version 10.08* So all the breaks say that they’re in AUS even tho my location settings are on for the app and my phone. Also the widgets are just black. UI is ok but could use some work. I bought the one time purchase and it’s pretty good for that hopefully they don’t revoke that in the future. ### 1/5 — App crashes everytime I open *2023-12-13* can’t even set it up past the set up screen, crashes everytime even with updates ### 1/5 — Paid but did not get updated *2023-11-29, version 10.03* I paid for the lifetime subscription but it was not working. Now that it is updated I cannot get it working or it does not acknowledge that I already purchased the subscription. ### 1/5 — Now broken! *2023-11-21, version 10.0* I am subscribing and it’s not good when an update wipes all your favourite spots, every spot is now in Australia, lost all metrics and can’t change them…. The list goes on! Unless something is done soon, you will lose my subscription! ### 1/5 — No longer works *2023-11-04, version 5.40* This app used to be the best and most accurate surfing app on Apple Watch. Now it will NOT find my location regardless of anything I do or try. Absolutely useless, what a shame too bc it was great. ### 1/5 — Bug géolocalisation *2023-10-27* Au démarrage de l’app il est impossible de passer après l’étape getting spot…. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ultra 3 not supported *2026-05-12, version 11.09* 13/05/26 - no good for Apple Watch Ultras. In discussions with developers with initial discussions of support but they’ve gone quiet. Sounds like they’ve moved on to other projects. Do not subscribe/ waste of money. Trying ti get refund but not looking good ———— Edit: trying new update. Subscribed but unable to access the phone faces or pro complications. Unable to contact developers. HELP! ———————————— Edit: lost access when upgrading to ultra 3. Emails returned undelivered when seeking support. —————— Was having issues with complications and registration but developers were really great and helped fix issues really quickly. Really happy with the app. Looks great, works great. Only negative to mention is a 3hr surf will wipe the battery. Going from fully charged to 10% on my 1 year old series 5. I’ve not seen the same battery usage with the Apple activity app. It would be awesome if the complications were available to pick from for the phone’s home screen widget also. 😬👍🏼 ### 1/5 — Ultra 3 not supported *2026-03-01, version 11.07* Edit: trying new update.

Stuck there forever. ### 1/5 — Complications won't load *2025-02-26, version 10.08* I was excited about this because I don't like subscriptions and could pay a flat rate to get the complications to work on my watch. However they aren't loading. When I go to help and support and click on location it takes me to a settings page but there is no way to turn it on. I've gone in through settings from privacy and location and it doesn't even show the app in there. I have a series 6 watch and 16 iPhone. The email help and support doesn't work and when I click on the website button it takes me to spam. ### 1/5 — al momento scarso *2025-01-01* ho acquistato la versione pro ma non è più funzionante, hanno cambiato gestione e applicato solo abbonamenti, ho buttato i soldi.pessimi ### 1/5 — Gets stuck at getting spot *2024-12-12* I could not get the app to work at all, in the initial setup the app gets stuck at looking for spot ### 1/5 — App crashes *2024-05-08* I can’t start the app because it crashes all the time. ### 1/5 — Water temp is wrong *2024-04-07, version 10.08* Every time I try to put a Hawaii location it says Australia. The water temperature says it’s 32 degrees F in Hawaii. After paying more then $30 bucks for this app it’s sad to see the water temperature does not work and it’s sad to see all locations are Australia? It’s also sad to see so many reviews that it does not work. Fix it or give me my money back. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Glad to see the 2024 updates! *2024-10-19, version 10.08* Thank you for the updates! Do you anticipate access to surf cams in the future? ### 5/5 — More accurate than USA elections *2023-06-12* I dumped dawn patrol bcz it just fell apart with glitches. I tried this app and it is state of the art. Super accurate. Great interface. I’ve tried it with surf foiling and dock starting (foil) . Sometimes (when I stay on foil and link several waves) it makes it look like 2 separate waves but just add the distances together. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2022-08-27, version 5.39* I’m showing all of my friends hehehe ### 5/5 — Great !! *2022-05-10, version 5.39* Love this app everything you need to be a successful surfer !!! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2022-03-07, version 5.35* Been wanting an app like this for a long time! It’s not to say that improvements don’t need to be made, but any issues I’ve had were solved quickly and with great customer service. I hope they continue to fix little bugs and work to make the information as accurate as possible. There’s been a few times where the tides and winds have been way off which matters in the areas I surf and affected my plan. I wish the graphics were a little easier to read, I’m not always 100% sure what I’m looking at or if I’m lining things up at the right time. I would also love a surf rating to be added. It can be really helpful when learning a new spot to see a “fair”, “poor” or “good”. The watch integration has worked really well and I love that it counts my paddles! The customer service is what sold me and the lifetime price was a great deal! ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-01-12, version 5.33* Works great it’s so detailed plus works great with my Apple Watch ### 5/5 — Thanks it’s very accurate! *2021-12-11, version 5.32* Thanks ### 5/5 — Best water exercise / surf app on the market *2021-10-11, version 5.30* Incredible surf app for Apple Watch’s. Suitable for surfing, foiling, windsurfing, kite surfing, and ocean swimming. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-08-19, version 5.26* I’ve been using this app since the early days , it just keeps getting better and better the developers haven’t just put it out there and left it at that they have continued to upgrade and improve on what was good to what is now really good ### 5/5 — Stoked *2021-07-25, version 5.26* Never foil without it! Always improving too 🤙🏽 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
