CLIMB WITH PURPOSE You send plenty of problems in a session. But are they the ones you meant to send? Did you finish that project? Get back on the slab you always skip? Or did you just wander aroundβ¦ then walk out unsure if you actually got better? That's why this simple indoor bouldering app was created. --- LOG EVERY ATTEMPT WITH A SWIPE β’ Left = fail β’ Right = send β’ Then rate the quality It's faster than grabbing your chalk between each attempt. Forget pen and paper. Forget messy notes on your phone. Forget waiting for your gym to have its own system. This works anywhere. --- TURN CHAOS INTO STRUCTURE β’ Save views for warm-ups, technique climbs, or projects β’ Filter and sort by grade, area, attempts, quality, and more β’ Always know which problems to hit next β no more guessing, no more forgetting β’ Add structure without feeling restricted by rigid training plans made for athletes (keep climbing fun!) --- SEE PROGRESS YOU CAN FEEL Grades are good. But better footwork? Fewer fails? Smoother sends? That's real progress β and youβll see it all in your charts. Motivation built in. --- WHY CLIMBERS ARE SWITCHING β’ Works in any gym (supports multiple gyms & colour systems) β’ Built for indoor bouldering only β’ Your private logbook, not a social feed β’ Simple, clean design that stays out of your way If you'd never hit the weight room or running track without a plan... why climb without one? Download now and make every send count. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Talus at none against Bould's shown. Bould's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
