About

Pointe Pair

Features
Read full description

Pointe Pair is a private pointe-shoe rotation and wear journal for students, professionals, and parents managing one or more pairs. Eligible new subscribers can try every feature free for 7 days. After the trial, an active monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription is required to continue using Pointe Pair. ROTATE WITH BETTER INFORMATION Set your preferred drying window and see which pairs have completed it, which are still resting, and which pair is suggested for today. Pointe Pair helps you balance wear without making safety decisions for you. LOG EVERY SESSION Record classes, rehearsals, performances, and fittings in seconds. Use one pair or divide a single session across multiple pairs, and Pointe Pair will allocate the time automatically. Start today’s suggested pair from the Home Screen widget, and follow an active session from the Lock Screen with Live Activities. KEEP EVERY FITTING DETAIL Record size, width, shank strength, vamp, box profile, heel, maker stamp, purchase information, and fitting notes. Size and width are entered exactly as you use them, whether that means EU, UK, US, Russian, or a maker-specific system. UNDERSTAND WEAR AND COST See total hours, session count, cost per hour, and cost per session for every pair. Add a maker’s rated hours as a personal reference and compare it with your actual usage. Rated hours are shown as reference data only, never as a safety verdict. DOCUMENT LEFT AND RIGHT SEPARATELY Keep individual condition notes and photo histories for the left and right shoes. Follow how each shoe changes over time and bring clearer information to your next fitting. SHARE A FITTING-READY REPORT Create an elegant PDF containing fitting details, usage history, costs, and condition notes to share with a teacher or professional fitter. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required, and there are no ads. Pointe Pair does not use advertising tracking. Your pointe-shoe journal stays on your device unless you choose to enable private iCloud sync across your own Apple devices. Subscription purchases and entitlement status are processed by Apple and RevenueCat as described in our Privacy Policy. IMPORTANT Pointe Pair shows usage data only. It does not judge whether a shoe is safe to dance in and does not provide medical advice. Safety and fitting decisions belong to the dancer, teacher, and professional fitter. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS • Eligible new subscribers receive a 7-day free trial. • After the trial, an active monthly or annual subscription is required to continue using the app. • At the end of the free trial, your Apple Account will be charged for the selected plan unless the subscription is canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. • Subscriptions renew automatically for the selected billing period unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Prices vary by country and storefront.
