When it works, it’s great. When it doesn’t, it’s a nightmare. ### 4/5 — Swim Stroke Time *2026-06-27, version 7.2.0* This app helps me keep track of my kids time and lets me see if the DQ or not, overall: I think it’s really good but sometimes it glitches and shows nothing of the time of my kids Times ### 3/5 — Ehhh it’s ok *2026-06-15, version 7.2.0* So it’s ok it just hard to understand and it doesn’t give live changes in events u know and it only shows the events u choose and the rest of your events that coach’s give don’t show up so u don’t what u got in those at all so i recommend meet mobile but some times it doesn’t have your team on it so good luck ### 2/5 — Ugh, the ads *2026-06-13, version 7.2.0* The app is fine. It is just fine and if you actually want information, you have to pay for it. This is a required app by NVSL, so no choice for anyone. Definitely a let down. The online backend is difficult to navigate and takes a lot of trial and error to set up. So if you are helping your team out, be sure you have plenty of time to work in the system before you start. ### 2/5 — Laggy and unreliable realtime updates *2026-06-13, version 7.2.0* I’ve been using this app for 3 years for summer swim. For the past 2 years it’s been wonderful and a price I’ve been willing to pay. This year for summer swim it’s been ridiculous. I pay for the subscription model and unlike years before, every week brings a new challenge. Logged out every time I reopen the app? Check. Getting stuck on a single event no matter how much I toggle between “all” or “upcoming” events? Check. Getting stuck with a prior event and taking 45mins to update to the current event (this might’ve been the away team’s software connectivity?)? Check. Most recent, not showing ANY of my kids results during that day’s swim meet? Sadly check. These are the reasons I paid for the subscription and now I’m so frustrated that I hope either updates are made for all the laggy/unconnectivity or another upcoming app takes precedence over this app. Not happy. ### 3/5 — It’s okay. Can use improvements. *2026-06-10, version 7.2.0* Not always easy to use. I get logged out randomly quite a bit. Can use improvements in the tech area. ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-06-01, version 7.2.0* This makes it easier to see what is going on even if you have to step away a bit. ### 5/5 — This is the best site I’ve ever used *2026-05-30, version 7.2.0* I’m a swimmer and this is one of the best and most organized apps I’ve ever used for swim. It’s so easy to see your events and any meet details. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-21, version 7.2.0* Wow this makes the swim season so much easier. I can find the info I need when I need it and I love being able to get live updates on my swimmers. Such an improvement over all other systems my team has used. ### 5/5 — SwimTopia is the way to go *2026-04-02, version 7.2.0* All of my swim parents love that we have moved to SwimTopia. It is so easy to use, and it makes managing our our team and league a breeze. Plus the staff is incredible. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pass *2026-06-21, version 7.2.0* Maybe good if your team swims year round but 4 meets isn’t worth $10… and that’s if it works, one old meet still shows nothing. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-06-17, version 7.2.0* The fact that they charge for this app is laughable. It's always going down, crashing, and really buggy. The only reason I have it is because it's literally the only option for following my kids' swim meets. I will absolutely be canceling in a month when their season is over and I hope to see other alternatives in the future ### 1/5 — Not useful if meet doesn’t use it *2026-06-16, version 7.2.0* We bought this and did not realize a lot of the meets don’t use this app to real-time upload the results. ### 1/5 — Never updates *2026-06-15, version 7.2.0* The app rarely updates results in a timely manner, even with the “pro” subscription. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch? *2026-06-09, version 7.2.0* Was offered a 7 day free trial, but was charged the full price immediately. No contact information available for a refund. ### 1/5 — Simply awful *2026-05-26, version 7.2.0* Besides being the biggest battery suck on my iPhone, this app makes everything more difficult than it needs to be. ### 1/5 — Good for following one team. *2026-05-25, version 7.2.0* I’m a high school swim coach and last summer I was able to use swim topia to follow all of my high school swimmers who are on a different team. This year, Swim Topia changed it up and made all the meets private and I’m unable to see my swimmers results. Not happy with this. I will probably drop my subscription. High School swimming uses meet mobile and with their subscription you can see meet results for any meet and any swimmer. NWAL and summer league should switch over to Meet Mobile. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-05-23, version 7.2.0* I subscribed to Pro but still cannot see any results past the 5th race which is exactly what I get with the free app. What am I paying for? I logged out and back in, restarted the phone, nothing. All I did was waste my money. ### 1/5 — Rarely works *2026-05-21, version 7.2.0* This ap just traps you in endless loop of signing in. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Search *2026-04-13, version 7.2.0* I’m unable to search for a team. I’m not sure what the issue is, but I tried contacting their help and nothing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Roswell rapids *2026-08-04, version 7.2.0* The app is very comprehensive and easy to use. A great way to keep up on team events. ### 5/5 — Great Swim App *2026-08-02, version 7.2.0* The paid version is not expensive per year and allows our team to communicate with us easily. It gives advanced reminders of upcoming swim events live during swim meets, so we can ensure our swimmer is lined up on time. It also tracks swim times over the course of the season so your swimmer can see their improvement. It’s worth the money! ### 5/5 — Great swim app *2026-07-11, version 7.2.0* The app is really easy to navigate and use. Fantastic for swim parents. ### 5/5 — This is nice *2026-07-01, version 7.2.0* It was the best ### 5/5 — Recommend for swimmers & parents *2026-06-26, version 7.2.0* Very useful. I can see upcoming events & what I’m swimming in those events. Also you can sign in to your team and get updates from your organizers. Very organized and you can also look up all of your past times. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-25, version 7.2.0* This app gives you everything you need. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-20, version 7.2.0* This app is awesome for swim meets. My only suggestion is that I would love to be able to click on a name for my swimmer and ONLY see their time. Not all of my kids. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-13, version 7.2.0* Great, perfect for swim, easy to use. ### 5/5 — Swim topia *2026-06-06, version 7.2.0* It’s really fun to see what places people got in the event and what time they got! ### 5/5 — SWIMTOPIA *2026-06-02, version 7.2.0* I HAVE A 8U 25 BR RECORD --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
