I’ve used SWIMTAG a lot. Positives: I can’t leave it at home. I’ve been able to track my performance and improve as a result. It’s exiting waiting for the result to come through each time. Things to improve for me: it would be brilliant if I could see how many lengths I’d done at any point whilst doing the swim. Also a pause recording feature. Our pool currently has got new pc’s and the SWIMTAG doesn’t work atm!

Won’t open
The app just won’t open, tried reinstalling but no luck. Disappointing, as it used to work.
Issues with accuracy
This app is ok for tracking basic data, similar to other basic swim watches, but only if you’re swimming crawl or breaststroke, and it also doesn’t always read turns correctly. Backstroke only records correctly about 2/3rds of the time, otherwise it’s ‘mixed’. However it NEVER tracks butterfly; it will either register it as front crawl with the straighter pull or with the ‘keyhole’ shape pull as unknown. I always have to manually edit the swim to correct the discrepancy despite my technique being correct (I’m a club swimmer). I’m also a bit insulted that the editor decides certain laps are too fast and won’t let me save until I extend it beyond the waveform that’s right there, heaven forbid that I swim an exceptional lap.

Never opens
Would be great if it worked. Have to delete and download each time I want to access it. Very frustrating.
Doesn’t open 90% of the time
This app could be really good if it worked. The amount of times I try to open the app to record my swim but it just freezes which is very frustrating as I’m trying to keep track of my distance and timing. Sometimes I have to go to the App Store and open it that way, but that has now stopped working. Please fix it otherwise I’ll have to delete and find a new app.
