What's New in Venturi Sports

1.6.6

September 15, 2026

Ocean currents and wave period come to the weather map, and you can now compare speed across rides. Currents A new Currents layer shows global ocean circulation from Copernicus Marine. Scrub or play the timeline to explore currents worldwide. Premium riders get the full forecast. This layer shows ocean circulation, not tides. Wave period A new Wave period layer colours swell period in seconds, with a tap readout. Switching between layers keeps the hour you were viewing. Layers menu Explore map layers with previews of each. The updated menu leaves more room for the map. Weather map Current and wave-period particles are brighter, with longer trails. Forecast frames load ahead of playback for smoother animation. Compare rides Activity details → Analysis lets you compare speed across sections of rides. Your saved recordings remain unchanged. Overlay full-session speed to compare rides and the gear used. Spot pages Spot pages now show the ocean gradient, with more evenly spaced actions, a clearer title, and an updated rating. Recording Phone recordings keep running while you navigate the app. Swiping back no longer leaves the recording screen by accident. Rider badges Rider badges now appear beside names in messages and feeds. Today The Today screen now features a daytime ocean gradient and a night sky. Widgets and session maps Forecast widgets now include a loading state and a retry option. Session maps better frame your track, including long rides. Map colours are scaled so a single GPS spike doesn’t turn the whole ride red.

User reviews

No longer losing data!

I previously gave this app 3 stars due to data loss when my watch would run out of battery and I lost accrued data in those sessions. The developer has addressed these issues, so I’m creating a new review to offset that one, thanks for addressing the problems! Love the app, specifically the gear garage, tack count and the plethora of wind sports to choose from.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback – we completely agree that losing a session is unacceptable. Both of the cases that you mentioned have been fixed, including saving sessions when the recording device runs out of power and syncing after longer sessions. We're glad you enjoyed tack counts! We are continually adding more advanced stats, so feel free to let us know what else you want to see. We really appreciate you being an early user, and we hope to see you back on Venturi!

Sessions lost

I’ve lost 2/4 sessions so far, so I’ll probably just go back to Strava. The first one got lost when my Apple Watch ran out of power. Strava would save the session properly for sync later but not Venturi. The second lost session was today when I ended my session late after 4 hours. I pressed and held the end session button properly but it never synced to my phone. Data loss is pretty unacceptable to me so I can give this app more than 3 stars, despite how much I like seeing my tack stats.

Exactly what I’ve wanted

I’ve been using other popular session trackers for years and have fully switched over to Venturi. I love the social aspects like courses, leaderboards and being able to see and comment on my friends’ sessions.

Best water sports app, hands down

I’m not a huge app user, but I use this one pretty much every day. I love that it tells me what size to rig, the safety features really help put me at ease when my husband’s doing a session alone, and the social aspect is awesome. Best watersports app, hands down!

Response from developer

Response from developer

Thank you, we love hearing that you're exploring all of the features! Discovering something new every time you open Venturi is our goal, and there is plenty more coming 👀 Our favorite new feature of this week is emoji reactions to sessions. We're stoked to have you along for the ride!
