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 :) ### 4/5 — Font too small on watch *2026-06-02* 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! ### 4/5 — L’appli met beaucoup de temps à s’ouvrir *2025-11-28, version 6.54.0* 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) ### 4/5 — Problemi cardio *2025-10-07, version 6.54.0* 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). ### 2/5 — Tech issues *2025-08-14* 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 **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We are not aware of a general issue with the Garmin interface. Please get in touch via support@swimcoachapp.com so we can analyze the problem.

Thank you! ### 2/5 — Don’t waste your money on this app. *2025-04-08* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 4/5 — Em completo *2025-02-19* Certamente com relógio deve ser perfeito. ### 3/5 — Gute App *2025-01-29* 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 ### 3/5 — User *2024-12-25, version 6.44.0* Fajna apka jest możliwość podłączyć zegarek ale tylko 5 razy za darmo później trzeba kupić subskrypcję 5 dych za miesiąc jakoś średnio a 200 na rok z promocji niestety nie mam kasy wydać nie mówiąc że bez promocji to 500 ileś tam zloty będzie ### 4/5 — Une tres bonne application *2024-09-17* Un superbe application qui mériterait juste de pouvoir exporter les exercices dans l’application fitness de l’Apple Watch avec l’arrivée de Watch Os 11 pour être parfaite ! 😍💪🏻 ### 4/5 — Ótimo para aperfeiçoar nado *2024-09-09* Gostei muito do app mas tenho um relógio polar e ele não aceita sincronização, somente garmin e Apple wacht . Podiam adicionar o polar seria 5 estrelas ### 5/5 — Great motivational app *2024-08-06* Keeping my son motivated in the pool was tough until we found this app. We do need to change some of the drills due to lack of equipment but we are loving the variations. ### 5/5 — Works with Garmin and Apple *2024-07-17* First app I have found that works seamlessly with both watches in the pool. The workouts are engaging and fun. Great interface with Garmin and the Apple Watch. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2024-07-12* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Beste App für Trainingspläne *2024-04-28* Ich bin sehr begeistert von der App, bin mein ganzes Leben geschwommen und davon auch lange (halb-)professionell und habe versucht eine App zu finden, mit der ich auch ohne Anbindung an einen Verein ordentlich trainieren kann und habe sie hiermit gefunden. Im Vergleich zu anderen Möglichkeiten echt absolut die beste auf dem Markt. Beim Supportteam hatte ich angefragt, ob es eine Möglichkeit gibt, dass man sich Pläne in der App schicken kann, sodass man gemeinsam trainieren kann - ich hatte nicht nur eine schnelle Rückmeldung, sondern es wurde auch noch fantastisch umgesetzt. Ich bin begeistert, danke! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — L’appli met beaucoup de temps à s’ouvrir *2026-01-31* 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) ### 1/5 — Nul ! *2025-03-02* 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 **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Não funciona no iOS 16.7 *2024-11-20* Tem um bug que impede de funcionar com iPhone 8 iOS 16.7.10. Já entrei em contato com os desenvolvedores do app mas não conseguiram solucionar o problema. **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback. Você poderia fornecer mais detalhes sobre o que exatamente acontece? Não temos conhecimento de um problema geral do iOS 16.7. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2023-12-17* Не открывается приложение совсем ### 1/5 — App won’t even download to Apple Watch *2023-06-30, version 6.6.0* App won’t download to Apple Watch ### 1/5 — Apple Watch *2023-02-28, version 5.17.0* Apka może i fajna, tylko czemu nie nożna jej połączyć z Apple Watch? ### 1/5 — Truffa? *2022-08-30, version 5.8.1* Ciao, ho utilizzato la versione gratuita per qualche settimana ed oggi mi sono decisa ad acquistare la versione Gold. Purtroppo ho effettuato il pagamento ma non ho avuto l’accesso alla versione gold. Spero di potermi ricredere sulla serietà di questa app. ### 1/5 — Preiserhöhung *2022-06-04* 2018 hat die App pro Monat 2,39 € gekostet. Kürzlich waren es noch 4,99 €. Und jetzt sind es 6,99 €. Ist mir nun zu teuer und die Gratisversion zu einschränkt. Schade! ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-12-27* Seemed ok with initial download, but try to create a workout and it takes forever. Then it freezes and stops working altogether. Do not recommend. ### 2/5 — Nicht überzeugend *2026-07-02* Schlecht gemach (die kostenlose Version) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Actually Useful *2026-06-01* 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. ### 5/5 — Super *2026-06-01* Ich liebe diese App, schöne Trainingspläne macht super viel Spaß ### 5/5 — Fast perfekt für mich *2026-01-11* 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. ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2025-09-18, version 6.54.0* Llevo unos años entrenando con la app y de verdad que fenomenal. He mejorado muchísimo la natación y los entrenamientos son muy divertidos. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-07-13* I’m loving this app ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-04-29, version 6.51.0* 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 🏊‍♂️🐼 ### 5/5 — Keeping it simple *2025-04-11* 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! ### 5/5 — as a beginner, really nice *2025-01-15, version 6.46.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Buena app de entreno *2025-01-08, version 6.46.0* La aplicación la verdad que está muy bien y te hace unos entrenamientos muy chulos, puedes elegir las distancias, los metros de la piscina, compartirlos con tu Smart Watch o más si se elige la opción de pago pero a mi no me ha hecho falta porque podemos elegir entre natación normal o de competición. En fin que es muy completa y de lo mejorcito que me he encontrado, la recomiendo a todo aquel que le guste nadar. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2024-09-01* Aplicativo bem completo e único. Uma ideia bem executada e que me permite nadar sabendo que estou progredindo sem depender de professor ou ver video pronto na internet. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
