Boulder Bud
Read full descriptionHide full description
Boulder Bud allows you to view and track the boulders you are ascending in your gym. It has features so you can easily see and log your climbs. Personally I try to do every boulder in my gym(haven't ever done it yet though). By using this I can clearly see my progress overtime, seeing when I'm getting the most boulders done so I can reflect on what training or conditions seems to work best for me. This also allows you and your friends to compare the boulders you're doing, hopefully breeding some friendly competition. Speaking of competitions this app has a fully fledged competition feature. You are able to host competitions with all the usual rules, allowing you to create competition groups, specify how many boulders will contribute to your competition points as well as setting custom point values. The top 5 users in both: most climbs done and highest points will always be available to users in that gym. Try to get number 1 at your gym today, install Boulder Bud. If you're gym isn't on here, please reach out at info@boulderbud.com.au and we can look into getting it added :)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Boulder Bud at every 5 days against Cali Studio's every 2 months. Boulder Bud also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
