### 5/5 — Amazing app for kayaking

*2026-07-23*

I absolutely love this app.  It tracks everything, provides a map once your trip is completed, you can add pictures.  I have never had an issue with it.  Highly recommend it!!

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2026-02-15, version 4.4.34*

Crashed the moment I tried to record. Finally got it working but the quality isn’t great and is very basic.

### 3/5 — Great tracking, but impossible to stop session in real water conditions

*2026-01-15*

I’m using this app on an Apple Watch Ultra for kitesurfing and downwinders. Tracking quality and data are good, but there is a serious usability problem in real water conditions.

When the watch and screen are wet (which is unavoidable in kitesurfing), the touchscreen often cannot be used reliably. At the same time, the app does not provide a proper hardware fallback to stop or end a session. The Digital Crown and side buttons cannot be used to stop the workout, so you can get “stuck” in a running session until the screen is completely dry.

This is not a hardware issue — it’s a design issue. In water sports, apps must support stopping/ending a session via hardware controls (e.g. long press on Digital Crown, button combination, or Action Button on Apple Watch Ultra). Relying mainly on touch input does not work in real-world conditions.

I really like the app and would be happy to keep using it, but this is a critical problem for kitesurfing and similar sports. If the developers could add a reliable hardware-based stop option, this app would be excellent.

### 5/5 — windfoil Andernos  bassindarcachon

*2026-01-03*

Simple fiable efficace

### 3/5 — Qa

*2025-10-13*

App is Great, but last update lost all sessions

### 2/5 — 60% price increase!

*2025-07-16*

I like this app but the price is going up 60%!! I know everything is going up but seriously… this is a bit too much. I’m out.

### 5/5 — USED FOR SURFSKI

*2025-07-12, version 4.4.31*

I have used this app. for several years! Overall, easy to use, good metrics, etc. I do wish, however, that it would connect with my NK SPEEDCOACH and allow heart-rate inclusion, but  I still enjoy the app!

### 5/5 — :)

*2024-08-05, version 4.3.22*

Best tracking app imho. Been using for quite a few years now. No issues

### 4/5 — Good app. Locked features. Usable free as well

*2024-05-13, version 4.3.22*

Good

### 1/5 — Unusable in the water.

*2024-05-10*

For a water sports app it should be usable in the water. Other apps like dawn patrol have figured out ways to be usable by turning the crown and more. 
With water droplets on the screen you can’t  get back into water mode, you can’t pause a session, you can’t end a session. You have to wait until you can dry your watch face and your finger. You guys need to learn how to add the crown to functionality.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.4.38 — 2026-08-20

See what iCloud is doing with your sessions

A new sync badge at the bottom of the side menu tells you at a glance whether your sessions are safely in iCloud and when they last synced. Tap it for the detail: last download, last upload, your iCloud account status, and a plain explanation if something isn't working.

Sessions recorded on your other devices now appear straight away too — I fixed the delay that had you closing and reopening the app to make them show up.

### 4.4.37 — 2026-08-11

Stroke counting for paddlers. Your Apple Watch now counts your paddle strokes while you record — kayaking, canoeing, stand up paddle, dragon boat and outrigger canoe. On iPhone you get the full picture: cadence minute by minute, your best efforts, time in each cadence zone, glide per stroke, cadence against heart rate and speed, a map coloured by how hard you were paddling, and splits.

Tacks & gybes for sailors. Open a session and tap the new Tacks & gybes card: every turn you made is on the satellite map, told apart automatically as a tack or a gybe. Tap a turn to zoom into its arc and see the turn angle, minimum speed, entry and exit course, and duration.

The wind direction is estimated from your track alone — no weather data, just the way you sailed. Please check it, and if it looks wrong, adjust it with one tap. Your correction is saved with the session and syncs to your other devices. Let me know how the detection works for you — the feedback is what makes it better.

Also in this update:

The Tacks list is now called Runs — the legs you sail between turns.
With a run or turn selected, sharing now asks whether you want just that one or all of them.
Fixed the map cutting off part of the track in detail views.

### 4.4.36 — 2026-07-02

Compare two sessions, side by side
Pick any two sessions and put them head to head. A clean scoreboard lays out your key numbers (distance, duration, speeds, and more), and interactive charts let you overlay both sessions for a single metric — speed, pace, elevation, or heart rate (when available from Apple Health/Apple Watch). Drag to scrub through them, switch the view by time, distance, or percentage, and share a comparison card. Requires iOS 16 or later.

Filter your session list by sport
Track more than one water sport? Now you can narrow the list down to a single sport and find the session you're looking for faster.

New "waves caught" share card
For surf sessions, show off your day with a share card of how many waves you caught.

As always, I'd love to hear what you think — your feedback shapes what comes next.

### 4.4.35 — 2026-03-20

- improved app settings with info how to access health data
- improved map view

### 4.4.34 — 2025-10-10

- new design for iOS 26 Liquid Glass
