InsideEdge is the practice log for figure skaters. Log it all: jumps, spins, skating skills and programs, one tap per attempt, right at the boards. Then see your progress week after week. Session logging is free, forever. No paywall to start tracking. BUILT BY AN ENGINEER WHO SKATES I'm a software engineer and a competitive figure skater & coach. I built InsideEdge because I was tired of scribbled notes and trying to remember how last Tuesday went. Since launching in December 2025, more than 1,000 skaters have joined, and what they ask for is what I build next. LOG EVERY ATTEMPT IN ONE TAP • Landed, fell, not clean, under-rotated, popped, two-footed: record what really happened • Spins: track centering and revolutions • Programs: track full run-throughs of your short program or free skate • Live Activities show your session on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Never lose a session: InsideEdge recovers it if the app closes mid-practice LOG FROM APPLE WATCH (PRO) • Leave your phone at the boards and log from your wrist • Double Tap counts a clean landing • Mark program run-throughs done from your wrist • Works out of range: taps sync when your phone is back NOT IN THE RULEBOOK?

About

IJSEdge

Features
Read full description

Figure skating is one of the most data-rich sports in the world — and the most unreadable. Every IJS protocol publishes every element's base value, GOE, deductions, and per-judge breakdown. But the way it's published, you'd need a spreadsheet, a stopwatch, and an hour to figure out what the numbers actually say about your skater. IJSEdge fixes that. We ingest every IJS protocol from every U.S. Figure Skating competition — qualifying track and Excel pathway alike — and turn each skater's results into honest, plain-English arithmetic. For parents and skaters: See exactly where the points are slipping. Hidden Gains tiles tell you how many points your skater is leaving on the ice every event and which element is costing the most. Per-judge GOE breakdowns show you whether the calls are consistent across the panel. Move-Up Readiness is a composite signal — across percentile, Clean Skate Index, and consistency — for the conversation with your coach about whether it's time for the next level. For coaches: Free. No card, no plan to pick. Claim each skater you coach, share your IJSEdge referral link with their parents, and the moment a parent subscribes you see their full analytics — element by element, judge by judge, season over season. Same data as the paying parent, no watered-down coach edition. What's in the box: • Every U.S. Figure Skating competition indexed, updated weekly. • Element-by-element analytics on every skater with public protocol data. • Hidden Gains, Element ROI, Move-Up Readiness, Personal Best tracking. • Per-judge GOE breakdown for every event with judge detail. • Live competition updates during scoring. • Achievements: 132 badges across jumps, spins, footwork, program quality, consistency. • Two-party verification for coach + parent claims — privacy by design. Pricing: Free to browse — anyone can look up any skater. Paid analytics for parents and skaters: Skater $4.99/mo (one skater), Family $8.99/mo (up to 4 skaters in one household). Coaches are always free. Built by a skating dad whose daughter has competed on both the qualifying track and the Excel pathway. We're not VC-backed. We're not trying to disrupt the sport. We're just trying to make the protocols you already paid for actually mean something. --- Subscriptions IJSEdge offers two auto-renewing subscription plans: • Skater — $4.99/month or $39/year • Family — $8.99/month or $79/year Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the plan price listed above. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iOS device.
