A great tool for tracking your progress

I’ve used this app for years now and have watched it grow every year in functionality. Unlike most applications that add features the use of this app has actually become easier and more intuitive with time. If you do water sports it will track your progress and provide statistics on how you’re doing. I’ve logged over 8 thousand miles over the years kiting surfing, kite foiling, EFoiling and SUP. Don’t tell the developers but since there is an other category you could use it for off the water like biking or hiking. It’s fun to share your recent travels graphically with your friends. I totally recommend this app.

Response from developer

Eight thousand miles is a lot of water. Thank you for sticking with us all these years and for noticing that the app got easier to use. We won't tell anyone about the biking. The Waterspeed team

Waterspeed is BROKEN

I can no longer use Waterspeed because it’s stuck in a never ending cloud sync loop. That would be ok if I could get support from the developers…. Humans! Unfortunately the support chat now only connects you to an AI bot now, which is COMPLETELY USELESS! I can not get support for my issue. Do not buy this app, it’s BROKEN :(

Best for metrics but low performance

Waterspeed is really good for foiling stats, probably the best and has a comprehensive list of sports. But in the last year the reliability has been getting worse and worse. I am constantly wrestling with it, constant failed syncs and today it even somehow merged 2 different sessions in 2 different disciplines into one session. Sometimes when I use my scroll crown it just exits the menu. It's eating up my time, ruining sessions and causing more irritation than it's worth. Sucks when you're a paying customer.

Purely a tracking app

Caution - Tidal locations not accurate. unable to select tidal stations. It uses nearest geographical location. Useless for planning.

Going downhill

A few weeks ago, the map feature in the web app broke, just recently my sessions from my watch have to be manually sync’d to my phone (eventually appearing) and none of my sessions this week have sync’d to Strava. Quality just seems to be going downhill rapidly

Response from developer

Thanks for letting us know, and sorry it was a rough few weeks. Watch sessions that needed a manual sync are fixed in the latest version, so please update. If Strava still isn't getting your sessions, write to support@waterspeedapp.com and we'll check the connection on your account. The Waterspeed team

Not sure what this app offers that other ones don’t already have

I downloaded this app just to check it out and linked it to my Strava account. I don’t really see what this app offers that I don’t already get with Strava and it looks like it just wants me to upgrade to a paid subscription more than anything else. So far I’m not impressed.

Where did the wind forecast go?

The app has been great but recently an update took away the weather and wind forecast! This was one of my favorite tools! Can I go back to an older version?

Massive Nagware

This app will nag you to subscribe constantly. Not worth it unless you want to pay monthly… for the rest of your life.

When I imported my existing Garmin data, it wouldn’t even let me see that unless I “upgraded”. This is data I already owned.

I wasn’t able to review many of the features since I didn’t want to subscribe.

Used to be better

I have been using this app paired with Apple Watch Ultra for many years now . The recent version updates introduced a few undesirable features, there have been more false app starts, unintended pauses, annoying milestone notifications, etc. The user experience has deteriorated.

Great app!

Used for over 400 sessions now. Pro member. Loved it from the start and it just keeps improving! The newest interface is great!
Thanks so much!

Wingfoiling

Last 2 of my 3 sessions had issues with proper recording

Response from developer

Sorry two of your last three wingfoil sessions didn't record properly. Recording problems like this are fixed in the latest version, so please update. If it happens again, send the dates and your device to support@waterspeedapp.com and we'll look into it. The Waterspeed team

Difficult to save tracks from Apple Watch…

Most apps make it extremely difficult to delete a track—Waterspeed, especially when fingers are cold or wet, makes it incredibly easy to delete a track while trying to export it. Also if you are in waves it will easily miss details of a run…you may be able to fix this by adjusting sample rates…

Useless

Not worth downloading. I’m deleting from my device

Ultra ADs are over the top

I have pro, I don't want ultra. Yet the app is covered in banners asking me to upgrade to ultra that never go away.

Super App !

J'utilise Waterspeed depuis plus d'un an en kite principalement. J'ai commencé avec l'iPhone placé dans un sachet étanche sous la combi et j'ai ensuite investi dans l'iWatch sur laquelle fonctionne l'app. Le combo est excellent.
L'app me sert essentiellement à conserver mes sessions et connaître mes vitesses (utiles pour des entraînements "race").
Il y a plein d'autres façons de l'utiliser. Quand j'ai choisi cette app, j'en avais essayé d'autres mais celle-ci me paraissait bien supérieure, en particulier en ce qui concerne sa simplicité d'utilisation.
Voilà ! Perso, je suis fan 👍

My most used app for downwind sup foiling

Love Waterspeed! It’s so useful for tracking my sessions and progress. It helps you dial in equipment for different conditions and gives you real world info on your runs. It allows you to track km splits and the developer is super responsive and is adding new features specially tuned to downwind sup foiling. Can’t want to try the new tracking feature to share with friends and coast guard/harbor patrol for safety when out to sea. Before every session I fire up Waterspeed and Spotify and then I’m ready to send. Then I have cool info after my session to share with my friends, map export of the session is great.

Great customer service and awesome app

We pay for the Pro version of this app and love it. Especially use it for wing foiling. Over the years I’ve noticed the odd issue and reported it and gotten a quick response and an explanation as to how to fix my issue. Recently, noticed that the app had removed a function. When I reported it, turns out it was done intentionally. Much to my surprise, a few weeks later the function I reported was back on the app. If u are a water person, this app is a must to own. It tracks all kinds of interesting info. Love it!!!

Apple Watch & water sport fun

Thank you Waterspeed for constantly improving this fun app. I learn something new every time I use it. Currently using Waterspeed for Outrigger Canoeing. This app is helping me with reading tide & weather before I go out. So fun to see the paddle history when I go to the Diary. Keep up the great work!

I love waterspeed

I’ve used Waterspeed for two years now to track and measure every Surfski paddling workout that I do. The detailed data and visual satellite view maps are great. And it’s always a real high when I crack my previous top speed 😎
