Nicht überzeugend

Schlecht gemach (die kostenlose Version)

So far so good

I have been using the app for a couple of months now and do see some hiccups now and then but it seems out of their control. For instance it keeps getting stuck saying I did 75/100 even when I do 100/100. But it is what it is.
Only recommendations I have is could you possibly expand the max distance from 4,000 to 10,000?
Also when we do a town trial can we manually input time with the keyboard? Especially helpful for swim meets :)

Font too small on watch

I love the app but I couldn’t use it because the font is too small and it does not change by changing the settings on the watch, it’d be great if text was dynamic. Thank you!

Actually Useful

Gives you drills and swim plans with videos to demonstrate what the drills are. Makes training plans for you without asking you for $100. Can be used on apple watch.

Super

Ich liebe diese App, schöne Trainingspläne macht super viel Spaß

L’appli met beaucoup de temps à s’ouvrir

Ces derniers temps l’application met beaucoup de temps à s’ouvrir
J’aime bien le panda 🐼 mais j’aime pas la barre qui défile en bas …
Aux développeurs, vous pouvez prévoir une MAJ pour que ça soit plus rapide ( tous mes logiciels sont à jours pour info)

Fast perfekt für mich

Diese App war während des Trainings mit der Apple-Watch gut zu nutzen. Einfach am Rad drehen und weiter geht's. Lediglich die Erkennung des Endes der letzten Bahn eines Abschnitts war etwas zu langsam, die Zeit läuft dann gnadenlos weiter. Aber im Training kann ich damit leben, muss ich halt schneller schwimmen, um die Zeit wieder raus zu holen.

Problemi cardio

Ottima App.
Ho acquistato la versione gold e devo dire che ha tantissimi esercizi per tutte le categorie.. devo dare solo quattro stelle perché non riporta i dati della frequenza cardiaca (a differenza dell’app sport presente sull’AW).

Me encanta

Llevo unos años entrenando con la app y de verdad que fenomenal. He mejorado muchísimo la natación y los entrenamientos son muy divertidos.

Tech issues

I’ve been using the app for a little over a year. I use it actively and push the workouts through my Garmin Epix 2 Pro. About a month ago the app would no longer push the workouts to my Garmin connect app. I can’t use the app anymore. I’ve tried uninstalling both swim coach and the gaming connect app.

Update: now occasionally have the workouts being pushed to my phone but a new issue has come up. I can’t change the length of the pool in my workouts from 50m. My garmin app says I need to change it in the swim app and it won’t allow me to change it in the app

Easy to use

I’m loving this app

Love it

I love this app, I have tried both premium and free versions, both work great for me ☺️
I can see the updates and various improvements which is cool.
Sometimes my workout is not logged in the app instantly after I saved it. but I can still see it in Apple fitness app. Sometimes it takes several hours to see the latest workout in the app. But I hope they will improve it soon
Thanks for the app 🏊‍♂️🐼

Keeping it simple

Used to swim in high school and wanted to get back into it. Planning out workouts was becoming too time consuming. This kept it simple and made getting into the pool much easier!

Don’t waste your money on this app.

I purchased this app after using the free version for a month. I wanted more variety in my workouts but with the premium it seems to be mostly the same the free version has. Not to mention all the bugs it has on Apple. It’s a 50/50 chance if it will record your workout as an apple workout and if it does it won’t be accurate distance. I wish the log and training section were more in depth and not just graphs and if there is that option it is not user friendly to find it. It would be very beneficial if the app would auto log your timed trials and keep a record of your best times for each stroke (not in a graph). Also the Apple Watch will not show the entire set you are on and have to unlock the water control and then scroll to see what you have to do and then lock it all back up (which kills battery). I would recommend this app if you strictly just want a step by step what to do and nothing else and stick to the free version. I do enjoy the workouts this app has to provide and is very easy to follow along as well as create a workout plan. Hopefully this app will improve.

Thanks for your detailed feedback. We are sorry that the app does not meet your expectations. Here are a few remarks: - To log an Apple Workout make sure the option to let Swim Coach control the Workout session is enabled (inside app settings). In the next update this option will be removed and always enabled. - The distance tracking of the Apple Watch workout is out of our control (it’s important to set the pool size correctly when creating a workout though) - Best times tracking of time trials should work. However, it is important to keep a workout inside the Swim Coach app until it is synced from the watch (only create a new workout afterwards). - UI: As a developer we do not have access to any physical Apple Watch button except the crown which makes it difficult to navigate the app without using touch screen (and unlocking the water lock) Please contact us at support@swimcoachapp.com for further improving the app experience.

Nul !

Je fais un entraînement de 2500 mètres et l'appli indique dans santé que j'ai fait 750 mètres 🤡. Super pour le suivi bravo. Le système d'utilisation de la Digital Crown n'est pas adapté du tout .. des qu'on porte des plaquettes c'est un désastre, pas de pause automatique à la fin des série, il faut donc tourner la Digital Crown à chaque fin de répétition... bref pas adapté au bons nageur

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour ! Il est important de définir la longueur de piscine correcte avant de créer un entraînement dans l'application smartphone pour que l'Apple Watch puisse suivre correctement la distance. Pouvez-vous le vérifier ? Dans les paramètres, vous pouvez activer le mode « Pause automatique » si vous ne souhaitez pas utiliser la couronne.

Em completo

Certamente com relógio deve ser perfeito.

Gute App

Ich finde die App an sich sehr gut. Die Schwimmtrainings, die man mit der App erstellen kann, machen Spaß und bringen einen voran. Ich habe nur das Problem, wenn ich die Daten mit Strava synchronisiere, dass meine Herzfrequenz nicht übertragen wird. Das finde ich ein wenig schade

as a beginner, really nice

very intuitive and helpful. for me, two things that would get it five stars: being able to personalize the equipment you have available when planning workouts, and compatibility with Coros watch.
thanks a lot!
