~ Track skate sessions and your trick progress ~ Shrednotes is a minimal and simple skateboard session tracker designed for people looking to learn new tricks and improve their existing tricks. Predefined trick lists and DIY • Shrednotes comes pre-filled with common tricks which can be renamed, deleted or added to as you please, it’s designed to work how you do without ads, privacy invasive activities or clutter. • You can sync with Health to read skateboard workout health data. • Shrednotes learns about your activity securely, on-device, and recommends new tricks to you based on what you know already. Skate journal • Apart from tracking individual tricks your learning and seeing what’s next, you can also keep a record of specific (or all) skate sessions. • If you enable notifications, you’ll get a reminder 30 minutes after your workout to add a session if you’ve not opened the app since then. • Create a journal entry directly from the Photos app share sheet. • You can mark the session location on a map card too, to easily record where your session took place. Home Screen Widgets and Customisation • Customise basic settings such as whether you want to see smart recommendations, the journal, or specific trick groups. • Also launch Shrednotes from your home or lock screen with a useful widget that tracks the next recommended trick to learn, or instantly start creating a new Journal entry from the lockscreen. • Finally, use the Apple Watch companion app to quickly and easily record notes for a new Session without needing to open your phone, come back and edit it any time.

Skateable tells you whether your local spot is worth the trip, then tracks the session when you roll out. SKATEABILITY SCORE Every spot gets a live 0–100 score based on current weather, the last 48 hours of rain history, the spot's surface type, sun exposure, drainage quality and more. No guessing, just a number. PopSense Drop your phone in your pocket and let PopSense handle the rest. Automatic session detection, live stats from every sesh, and a training mode to help you progress. PLAN AHEAD Tap "Plan Session" to see a forecast skateability score for any time in the next 7 days. Useful when the weekend weather looks borderline. CREW Roll with your crew. Add skaters as friends, see when and where they're skating, and keep your spots in sync. TRIPS Plan a road trip with the crew. Pick the spots, pick the day, get a forecast for each spot, and roll out together. GAME OF S.K.A.T.E Settle it in the app. Trick for trick, letter for letter · a digital scorecard for the classic game. WIDGETS Pin the score to your home screen or lock screen. One glance and you know if it's on. EVERYWHERE YOU SKATE Companion apps for Apple Watch, Apple TV and CarPlay mean the score follows you wherever you go. COMMUNITY SESSIONS Skaters log whether a spot was dry or wet when they skated it. Recent reports feed into the score so it reflects ground truth, not just weather data. SPOT ATTRIBUTES Each spot tracks what matters: surface type (modern smooth, old concrete, rough asphalt, timber, steel, indoor), sun exposure, drainage quality, and hazard warnings like pebble risk or snake warnings. LOCATIONS & MAP Save your local spots. Filter by distance, search by name, and view them on a map with the Nearby tab. Swipe a row to flag bad data or remove a spot. SHARE CONDITIONS Tap the share icon on any spot to generate a conditions card you can send to your crew. COMMUNITY SAFETY Report any inappropriate content, block users and manage a blocked list in Settings. We review and act on every report within 24 hours. Terms of Use: https://skateable.io/docs/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Session at none against skateable's 3. skateable's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
