### 1/5 — Tout devient payant

*2026-08-15*

Nouvelle mise à jour catastrophique pour les utilisateurs de la version gratuite. Hauteur de saut réservée aux utilisateurs qui payent un abonnement bien cher… l’appart du gain!

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Merci pour votre avis honnête. Nous comprenons que la mise à jour des prix ne plaise pas à tout le monde. Sachez que vous pouvez utiliser « Afficher gratuitement » un nombre limité de fois pour révéler les données, et que votre meilleur saut est toujours visible dans votre session. Avec une communauté en pleine expansion et le lancement de l'application Surfr entièrement repensée, Surfr entre dans une nouvelle phase. La nouvelle application propose de nombreuses fonctionnalités inédites et des analyses plus approfondies pour les riders. Nos abonnements et tarifs mis à jour reflètent cette valeur ajoutée et soutiennent la croissance continue de la plateforme.

### 1/5 — Turning in to social media

*2026-08-11, version 4.0.6*

I do not like how your feed is full of people you don’t know. And likes on your sessions are stupide!

### 5/5 — Excellent app, and even better customer service.

*2026-08-08*

I’ve been using Surfr for quite a while now, and it has become an essential part of every kiteboarding session. The jump tracking and session analysis are simply fantastic.

I also want to give a special thank you to Floor from the support team. She was incredibly patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire process. She always took the time to investigate my questions, kept me updated, and genuinely cared about finding a solution. It’s rare to experience customer support that’s this responsive and thoughtful.

Excellent app, and even better customer service. 
Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this, you've genuinely made my week! 🤙 It's a real pleasure helping riders of the Surfr app. Enjoy the wind, and you know where to find me if anything comes up!

### 5/5 — Наконец-то русский появился!!!

*2026-07-30*

Спасибо за локализацию, но действительно очень людолго загружается и подтормаживает. Возможно это связано с блокоривками РКН🤷🏻‍♂️

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв! И извините, что приложение работает медленно. Так быть не должно. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь со службой поддержки, предоставив подробную информацию, чтобы они могли разобраться в ситуации — https://support.thesurfr.app/en/

### 5/5 — Dia de Kitesurf

*2026-07-18*

Guga

**Developer response:** Thank you for your 5 star review and for riding with Surfr! 
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 2/5 — Pas de parcours et nom du spot inexact

*2026-07-09, version 4.0.6*

Pas de solution a date

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-07-06*

Application en avance sur son temps

**Developer response:** Merci pour vos 5 étoiles ! 🙌 Ce genre de message fait très plaisir à toute l'équipe. À bientôt sur l'eau!

### 3/5 — Kompabilität

*2026-05-27*

Die App funktioniert grundsätzlich gut aber für garmin uhren (ich habe die garmin instinct 2)ist die Kompatibilität leider sehr eingeschränkt (ich z.B. habe keinen live Jump Support( das bedeutet dass ich nicht die Länge, die Höhe, noch die Dauer der Sprünge messen kann))! Wem diese Einschränkung jedoch nicht betreffen oder es ihnen egal ist, für die sollte die eigentlich eine der besten Wahlen sein!

**Developer response:** Aufgrund der Sensorbeschränkungen der Instinct 2 ist die Uhr tatsächlich nur mit GPS kompatibel. Das bedeutet, sie kann lediglich GPS-Informationen wie Geschwindigkeit und Entfernung liefern. In unserem Hilfecenter finden Sie Informationen zu allen kompatiblen Geräten - https://support.thesurfr.app/en/articles/9859609-which-devices-are-compatible-with-the-surfr-app

### 5/5 — Upgraded

*2026-05-16, version 4.0.2*

I have used this app for 18 months. 
I’ve just found out that you can now crop/trim your sessions!!

I like the live “out loud”announcement of my jump height as I ride and also the recording of my jumps overlayed on the gps map. 

I think some ability to add specific gear for Wing Foilers is being looked at which would be awesome. 

Thanks for the love.

### 1/5 — Watch version no longer supported

*2026-05-08, version 4.0.2*

Not able to use app this year on my watch I’ve been using for a few years.  I am not buying a new watch for one app.
