But I can’t see anywhere in this app where I can sync Strava info over to it! Which I thought was strange considering I have “linked” Strava and swim.com and there for still have to input my swims manually which is kind of annoying after linking them😞 ### 2/5 — Buggy and zero tech support response when you create a ticket *2026-07-22, version 6.1.1* The app appears to double count some strokes leading to misleading distances. I created a trouble ticket, sent them the verification code that was generated to validate myself and then….nothing. Sent them a follow up email and….. nothing. The app apparently is only as good as the support behind it. Right now I wouldn’t recommend it. ### 2/5 — Swim tracking good. Watch syncing terrible *2026-07-22, version 6.1.1* This is a great app while you’re swimming. Rarely miscounts a lap or identifies a stroke wrong. However, when it comes to syncing your watch back with your phone, it’s a terrible experience. The swim sometimes will never appear in the phone app and just get stuck on the uploading button. Other third party activity tracking apps deal with this fine. This is a serious bug and needs to be fixed to make this a good app. ### 3/5 — Issues *2026-04-03, version 6.0.18* Unfortunately, since the last update, the app doesn’t sync properly with Fitness app ### 3/5 — Vudu *2026-03-10, version 6.0.18* App syncs much faster now but it doesn’t give active or total calories. It has access to everything. I can see my calories in the watch but it’s not syncing or showing in the app nor in the rings area ### 2/5 — Disappointing, tried many times. *2026-02-06, version 6.0.18* This app is just not good. I have tried it numerous times over several years. It never picks up kick, even when it’s built into a guided workout. You really can’t veer off course from a workout or make edits on the fly. The laps counter and yardage counter is always off and I find that the calorie counter is extremely off from most other apps. ### 3/5 — Used to be better :/ *2026-01-28, version 6.0.18* And when i say used to, i mean a few weeks ago it was better. it suddenly stops recording my workout randomly, sometimes it won’t show me how much time i have left in my rest for a set leaving me to basically guess, and it’s not always accurate on how many yards i actually swam, it’s often 25-50 yards behind. i will say that by the end of the workout its usually correct but during the workout its often wrong. this morning not only did it stop tracking my workout, the app exited and i lost ALL of my progress for that workout. idk what happened but im taking a break till these issues are fixed. ### 2/5 — Unstable from time to time *2025-10-26, version 6.0.14* In general very good. But I’ve had experiences where the app logs me out and won’t respond; or can’t upload workouts from Apple Watch. ### 4/5 — I can’t sign in *2025-10-23, version 6.0.14* Hi I forgot my password but I’m not able to have a new password when I tried to have a new one. I sent an email to Support but I didn’t get any answer back. Thanks, Roberto C ### 2/5 — Alles gut und schön *2025-10-12, version 6.0.14* aber es funktioniert nicht richtig. Jede Menge Auswahlmöglichkeiten, aber kaum richtig erklärt. Zählt auch nicht richtig, auch wenn man nach Plan schwimmt. Irgendwie ist es wie gewollt aber nicht wie gekonnt. Vielleicht hat ja mal einer der Entwickler die Muße, die Teainingsapp noch einmal richtig zu überarbeiten. ### 3/5 — Nailed it -> Killed it *2025-09-21, version 6.0.13* This app worked great for me, until the last update where they killed support for Apple Watch 3 as it requires Watch OS 9 or higher. ### 3/5 — 아이폰13프로 건강앱과 연동 않됨 *2025-09-02, version 6.0.13* 지난주 목요일부터 건강앱과 연동이 30분에서 한시간 지연되더니 오늘은 연동이 아예 않되요!! 확인해 주세요 연동 안되면 이어플은 사실상… 필요가 없어집니다 ### 2/5 — Where are the GPS maps for OWS *2025-08-25, version 6.0.12* This was a good app but recently the map function disappeared for current and past OWS. Please bring it back. I have written two requests to customer support with no response. ### 2/5 — Difficult to navigate and use *2025-08-19, version 6.0.12* The app provides no way to filter workouts and includes virtually nothing for the beginner level. Incorporation with watch is problematic, too. No way to easily pause the workout. Better to use the open swim option and try to figure out a workout on your own the old fashioned way. ### 1/5 — Not Syncing *2025-07-11, version 6.0.11* I’ve been trying to use the app but it’s not syncing with my iWatch Fitness app. I tried logging manually all my swims but still it’s not connecting and not tracking the activities. I also requested for help through the website without any response. What a bummer! ### 1/5 — Always glitches out *2025-07-04, version 6.0.11* I find that if I even take a second to pause it will skip on to the next interval ### 1/5 — Switch fr Apple watch to samsung watch not possible *2025-06-24, version 6.0.11* I am using an IPhone and first chose an apple watch by mistake. Now the app only allows apple watches to connect. I did not find any way to switch to the samsung watch, unfortunately… i hears many positive things about this app, but it is not working. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So bad *2026-07-22, version 6.1.1* What have you done to this app. The tracking on the Apple Watch is so inaccurate it doesn’t even resemble what I possible on Earth. How does a 2k swim take 31 years? How does a person even swim 32 years continuously. Something is seriously wrong since the last update. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Yet again an app that fails after an update *2026-07-16, version 6.1.1* As one of the apps longest serving users I have sadly come to the end of my time with this app. I continually have swims disappear off my watch before they can be synched or I start the app and notice half way through my swim that it hasn’t recorded anything at all. This seems to have occurred after the latest update, so assume it is a bug they can’t be bothered to fix. Extremely disappointing. ### 1/5 — Sync issues *2026-07-09, version 6.1.1* Don’t use this app. I’ve repeatedly contacted there customer support about synchronisation issues between my Apple Watch Ultra gen 1. Since there latest update, my swims won’t sync with the app and therefore can’t update my Strava profile. 8 months of swim training ruined because of the lack of support. They keep sending the same FAQ answer sheet and not listening or contacting myself to try and resolve the issue. So avoid at all costs!!!! ### 1/5 — Refuses to link with Strava *2026-04-08, version 6.0.18* Unable to connect the app with Strava “ unexpected error occurred “…it sure was. I’ll stick with my Garmin. ### 1/5 — Won’t track swim properly *2026-03-11, version 6.0.18* I am So frustrated with this app 1 it randomly won’t transfer my swim from my apple Ultra 3 watch To my iPhone 17 air phone it also stopped registering my heart rate. I have contacted apple they couldn’t help & recommended I contact swim. Com which I did and it took them a month to respond. This past I deleted the app which ment I lost all my previous swims which I would have been I could live with so long as the bugs/issues would be fixed. I re-installed the app and it worked perfectly for 2 days then today the same problem occurred I am so ready to permanently delete this app ### 1/5 — Downgrade *2026-01-04, version 6.0.17* Doesn’t send trainings to watch, crashes, freezes, doesn’t measure strokes properly. My apple watch was serviced, the fault is purely on the app’s side. The app used to be much more stable and reliable when I started a year ago. Now it can’t even detect that I’m swimming breaststroke or butterfly. ### 1/5 — terrible for Apple Watch *2025-12-08, version 6.0.16* App does not save custom workouts, only pushes them to Apple Watch. then the tracking j. the watch does not work - rest timer completely broken, lap tracking broken, randomly closing app to home screen ### 1/5 — Crashes after update 6.0.15 *2025-11-29, version 6.0.15* After last update 6.0.15 it crashes when opened (iPhoneSE 1st gen., iOS 15.8.3) ### 1/5 — Reset password *2025-10-21, version 6.0.14* The pop-up window says they will send a reset password email, but I am not receiving the email. ### 1/5 — Calories tracking broken and Strava integration is poor *2025-09-08, version 6.0.13* Calories tracked either is 0 or very low, even for 90 minute open water swims where avg heart rate is registered at 140ish. They need to much better calculate this based on averages. It also, unlike other swims aps, integrates very poorly into Strava. Apple Watch Ultra 2. Could be a very good app if they solve these two super annoying issues, especially the calorie tracking. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best of the Bunch *2025-12-08, version 6.0.16* Love it. Does mostly all I want and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Awsome *2025-09-29, version 6.0.14* I use this every day. I swim a mile every day. This is the best app with an Apple Watch for tracking your swim I also use the pace setting when I'm doing pace workouts. This is way better than anything. The Apple Watch comes with. ### 5/5 — Apple watch 10 운동기록 연동문제 *2025-08-27, version 6.0.12* 최근 ios의 업데이트 이후로 애플워치의 운동기록이 어플에 연동되지 않고있습니다. 확인해주세요. Apple watch 10 - watchos 11.6.1 , iphone 13 mini - ios 18.6.2 ### 5/5 — The best swim tracking and analysis app *2024-10-12, version 6.0.7* This app is my ‘go to’ swim logging and analysis app. I have used several independent apps for tracking and analysis, in addition to device specific iPhone apps. The highlights include: - Excellent, detailed view and presentation of activity analysis broken down by intervals, or lengths. - Allows correction of incorrect lap counts and details made by devices. Although requiring some mathematical calculations of time to make correct adjustments. - A good, simple, and clear interface, allowing quick access to ‘You[r]’ previous activities. Presenting a good basic summary, separate from coaching and promotional posts. - Good integration, logging activities from all devices. - The Apple Watch app is one of the best fit-for-purpose swimming apps, along with the Apple fitness app. Although, this is not my primary training device. I haven’t used the ‘Coach[ed]’ activities, a lot. However, the collection of activities that can be sent to your device is decent. It could allow more functionality in searching and finding activities. This app doesn’t charge a prohibitively excessive annual subscription fee. The downsides: the app has no iPad interface, and there is no browser interface for browser analysis. Nb: the app collects a lot of personal data, although necessary to support the functionality, I’m not sure how much this is used outside of the personal analytics functionality. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-31, version 6.0.2* I swim every day and this works great. ### 5/5 — The best app for swimming *2024-04-28, version 5.4.11* After having tested a lot of apps, including the native one of Apple watch, I can say it is the best : the most efficient and ergonomic ! Thanks for the developper ! ### 5/5 — Parfait *2023-12-16, version 5.4.8* Adepte de ma séance hebdo, la synchronisation avec ma montre connectée est parfaite; possibilité de changer les nages détectées … Une version française serait le top du top. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for swimming *2023-11-10, version 5.4.8* This is an excellent app for open water and pool swimming. Good Apple Watch app with relevant metrics . Would be better to have full integration with Apple fitness app so full swimming data is synced across. The UI could also be updated in line with WatchOS 10. ### 5/5 — All fixed *2023-11-09, version 5.4.3* My previous issues with the app were actually WatchOS related. Now that everything is working properly, I have no complaints. The app keeps track of my swimming including rest time. It’s nice to be able to track my progress throughout the year. Thanks to swim.com ‘s quick and responsive support team! ### 5/5 — It’s what I needed *2023-09-20, version 5.4.3* It provides a good amount of info on the watch. And counts my laps accurately, sensing the resting and resuming without problem. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
