Read full description

DragonPace helps dragon boat crews, coaches and paddlers record each session on iPhone, with GPS data, training video, session history and crew lineups in one place. RECORD AND REVIEW • Record GPS routes, time, distance and speed. Review charts, splits and available cadence estimates. • Set a distance or stroke-count target and follow your progress. • Search and filter past sessions, add notes and compare training sessions. • Manage incomplete recording-save reminders: hide them, or stop recovery while keeping recorded data and existing originals. KEEP YOUR TRAINING VIDEO • Record original training video with a clearer layout in portrait or landscape. • Tap the lens buttons supported by your iPhone, drag the zoom dial or pinch the preview, before or during recording. • After recording, choose the training metrics to display, preview a short clip and export a separate video with your selected data. • Choose when to share a video or save it to Photos. Exports do not replace the original. PLAN YOUR CREW AND BACK UP RECORDS • Organise paddlers, roles, seats and lineups, with left/right weight balance. • Export training data as CSV and create training-data ZIP backups, including exports of selected sessions. • Training-data ZIP backups do not include videos. Share or save videos separately. • Use English or Traditional Chinese and choose from four colour themes. LOCAL FIRST, NO ACCOUNT Training data is stored on your iPhone by default. The app does not automatically upload it to the developer. You decide what to export, share or save to Photos. All features are free, with no in-app purchases, subscriptions or ads. AI Tracking Reference is optional and off by default. It estimates each person's upper-body movements on your iPhone; saved originals can be analysed with separate consent. Estimates may miss, misidentify or lose movements. They are not official stroke counts and never replace GPS, Motion or official records. Availability and results depend on the device, system and recording conditions.
