### 1/5 — Infuriating

*2026-06-13*

Wildly disappointing user experience progression. At first swim success was a reasonably useful app for a new swimmer like myself. Not the most elegant or modern UI but certainly useable to start training. 

After a period of time away I reopened the app to find a modal requiring a mandatory update of the app. Once I completed the update I found every single app feature, even something as simple as manually creating a workout was a behind a premium paid coaching plan. 

Unbelievably frustrating user experience, as both an athlete and software developer. Wouldn’t download again.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your experience. During our early MVP phase the app was free while we were still testing and building. We then upgraded the training algorithm, improved the app, and moved to a paid model so we can keep developing and improving it every day. If you're open to it we'd love to chat and make it right for you.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-01-24*

App is not working anymore. Everytime I try to generate a plan the app crashes.

### 3/5 — Good, but still needs improvement

*2026-05-23*

I really like the workout structures and information contained in the app. It still needs some serious help with workout tracking. You can tell it does not natively work in yards and there are conversion issues from meters to yards. The Apple Watch app also leaves a lot to be desired with realtime tracking. It doesn’t complete sets automatically. The total yards almost never align with what was swam. It’s just a bit of a headache compared to some of its competitors in this space. Hoping for some quality upgrades in the near future. I truly want to love this app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback! We are aware of these issues and we actually have a big Apple Watch update planned in the coming weeks that will address a lot of this. We would love to chat if you have any other ideas so we can make the experience better for you.

### 5/5 — Chris N

*2026-08-29*

I have tried camps and countless videos to improve my stroke. It can be very difficult to get break through old habits. The swim success app with Andril’s analysis and instruction is the first thing that has me making real progress. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Thank you and I'm glad you have enjoyed my review! Looking forward to see another video from you with a progress.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-08-23*

I love the app, great training and workouts, connection with garmin watch works super well. I am just looking for the lifelong version, cannot find it.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! A lifelong option was available only at the very start of our app for the early users and now we have only monthly and annual subscriptions.

### 5/5 — Stroke Analysis

*2026-08-11*

Loving the stroke analysis portion of the app.  It is the reason I subscribed.  Finding it very useful.  Helped me come back after 40 years and medal at Masters Nationals.

**Developer response:** Im glad you liked the review! And im excited to hear new good news from you and see more medals after upcoming races!

### 5/5 — This is what you need

*2026-07-31*

I am improving quickly with swim success; he knows what he’s doing

Never trained like this never a swimmer

His program is building confidence 

Pushing me especially because I do not know how to push myself

Get on this app; I switched from Garmin plan since it was all AI

I really appreciate that he takes time to answer my novice questions 

Get some!!

**Developer response:** Thank you a lot for a great review! Our main priority is to bring the most professional training to everyone and we always update our algorhythm so it will be the most suitable for people.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-31*

This app, as well as the teachings from Andrii really helped me to improve my swim

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Very complete coaching app

*2026-02-03*

The workouts are well structured and very effective for focusing on areas where I need improvement. This is a personalized, coherent training regime. And the library of warm-ups, mobility, and exercises is a great bonus! I still haven’t utilized the stroke analysis, but am eager to do so based on all the positive feedback from other users.

**Developer response:** Happy to hear that you liked our training! And of course I personally waiting for your video for video stroke analysis

### 5/5 — Great app & support

### 5/5 — Very complete coaching app

*2026-02-01*

The workouts are well structured and very effective for focusing on areas where I need improvement. I now feel I am in a personalized, coherent training regime. And the library of warm-ups, mobility, and exercises is a great bonus! I still haven’t utilized the stroke analysis, but am eager to do so based on all the positive feedback from other users.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-02-01*

I genuinely love the Swim Success app! The swim sessions are well structured and easy to follow. All drills are well explained in a drill library with text and videos on every drill. Right now, I‘m on the half ironman distance training plan and probably will try the technique plan afterwards. 

Can’t wait for the watch support to be implemented so I can load the workouts directly to my Garmin.

I would also love if more Pool distances could be selected, but it’s a minor thing. My pool is 16,6666m, so 3 lanes is 50m and I can adapt most sessions to 25 or 50m plans. 

I joined founder’s club for lifetime access and video analysis. The first video review was amazing and I can‘t wait to go back to the pool and improve myself. 

One week, I had a problem where the app asked to create a new training plan directly after start (even though I already started a plan) and crashed when I tried to create a plan. I reported this bug via the app itself and via Instagram and got support within 4 hours, which I consider amazing! Deleting and reinstalling the app worked perfectly.

Thanks for this great app and all the support!

**Developer response:** First of all thank you for being one of the founders and secondly thank you again for a great review. Always happy to help, make swimming more intresting and I'm personally waiting for another video from you :)

### 5/5 — Best Swimming Training App

*2026-02-01*

Used to struggle a lot finding workouts and a actually useful structure in swim training. This App has actually helped me more than anything, it’s so well structured, every drill is explained clearly, everything is super easy to understand, the training plans are fitted to your personal goals and its overall such a great addition in my training i wouldn’t ever want to miss!
