When it loads to 100% it leaves game and takes me back to my Home Screen ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing *2025-01-24* Looking for a app to use with my rower. Starts up no problem. Connects to the rower no problem. Every time I try to start the rowing gets to 100% and crashes. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-05-17* Couldn’t get arcade or erg-synched version to work on iPad, synched version didn’t connect on iPhone. Graphics looked great, and I like the idea, though. 😐 ### 1/5 — Crashes on Avatar Selection *2024-05-02* Can’t use. **Developer response:** Hi, please email us at contact@swelldoneapp.com so we can get more details to address this issue for you. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Crashes after loading *2024-02-25* Not really working well **Developer response:** Hi, please email us at contact@swelldoneapp.com and we’ll get you up and running. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-08-11* Crashes every time I start. Was great…now nothing. **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version, we've made a ton of fixes for performance and compatibility. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2020-10-05* Can’t really review it. The loading screen is cool I guess **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version, we've made a ton of fixes for performance and compatibility. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load *2020-07-16* This app doesn’t load at all even on wifi **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version, we've made a ton of fixes for performance and compatibility. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Buggy *2024-06-05* Got it to run on a new iPad. But still buggy. Hangs frequently when updating content packs and entering the game to row. Frequently exits and reenters the game while rowing with rowed distance reset. Interval tones may play or not, who knows. Sometimes the force curve from my PM5 shows up, sometimes not. The progress bar for interval training doesn’t line up to when the interval should change so without tones, you just end up rowing whatever. Why don’t you have a rotating camera view option? I think it’s the battlecam, but it cycles so quickly it’ll make you nauseous. And most importantly, the game shorted me about 5km of trial distance. Graphics are pretty, but I’ll go back to EXR. **Developer response:** Hi, please email us at contact@swelldoneapp.com so we can get more details to address this issue for you. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Update no good *2020-09-03* The update makes surfing highly unrealistic. I loved the first version and was surfing like a machine. Now I just spin my wheels the ENTIRE time. I feel like I’m a Novice B again. Go back to the version 1 set up. I like the new course but the rest is a fail. UPDATE: I think the problem might be that the wind is going opposite direction of the surf. I notice when I try paddling against the swells my speeds are way up. We need to make surfing fun again, like version 1. **Developer response:** A new update is available now which fixes the control and handling issues. Surfing should be much tighter now like the last version! Thanks again for your feedback 🤙🤙 ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sick *2023-07-11* Sick ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-05-25* Love the app and I love how fast Wyatt responded and resolved my issues. It’s a must have app for perging ### 5/5 — Great Game *2021-05-22* I’m new to rowing and this has been a big help to keep things interesting. Seems like there’s a ton of potential if the developer keeps going. I love exploring new spots and using different landmarks as a goal for my workout. Works perfectly with my C2 RowErg **Developer response:** Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoy! We're working hard on adding more to the app. ### 5/5 — Pretty Amazing *2020-08-03* When Cali Paddler first got its hands on this game we were shocked at how realistic and fun it was. Certainly more than we expected. It has become our off the water stoke fix and we can’t wait for others to enjoy it! **Developer response:** Aloha and thanks for enjoying the game! ### 5/5 — Multiplayer *2020-07-23* Will there be an option to play and paddle with friends in the near **Developer response:** Aloha! Check out the new update for Season 2 - with multiplayer! Tell your friends! 🤙🤙 ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2020-07-15* Multi player so I can battle the boys 🙂 **Developer response:** Aloha! Check out the new update for Season 2 - with multiplayer! Tell your friends! 🤙🤙 ### 4/5 — Tremendous app! *2023-01-01* (+) Row in beautiful Hawaii, with others all conditions, all boats. Download to logs, apple health. Soo neat. (-) Doesn't load / work on ipad; iPhone 13 pro max gets very hot in 2 minutes. No Apple tv app (the obvious choice: any screen size)... **Developer response:** AppleTV version is now available, please try it out! Thank you! ### 4/5 — Customization *2020-07-26* I LOVE THIS GAME. It is the closest thing to paddling online. the two things that i suggest is adding challenges that require certain speeds, Wave length, or time in the mokes. taking inspiration from real life paddles and shorts, coins you get from challenges can be used to buy paddles and shorts. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Will be adding challenges and leaderboard and more content. Thanks for enjoying! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
