1. 5/5Works great, room for improvement.

   The app works great on my Apple Watch Series 3. You start a session and tap the route difficulty after your climb to log it. Heart rate is tracked and workouts/calories are credited to your Apple Health data if you want. Super simple, but there is room for improvement. Sometimes I’m so exhausted after a climb that I forget to log the route. It would be very useful if the app could detect when I stop descending and give me a vibration to remind me to log the route. Even better, the app could take the approach that the Ski Tracks app uses to track skiing - it auto detects when you’re going up and down, logging metrics like vertical descent, descent rate, descent time, etc so you can get a nice overview of each of your runs. If that model was adopted, you would be able to see how you are progressing on a particular route over time (ie, am I climbing it quicker, how high did I climb on failed attempts, etc). Overall, would recommend 5/5 and I’m excited to see how this develops.

2. 2/5Pretty disappointing app but its the only one for apple watch

   This app has the potential to be so much better but it seems like the developer has not made any meaningful improvements since launch. This app is good for logging grades, seeing heart rate, and has great Strava integration. This app is supposed to log your climbing location but it has never logged the climbing location correctly(either missing or logged as another state). Its pretty disappointing that this is pretty much all a paid app offers when a free app RedPoint, used to offer all that and so much more. RedPoint would record where (gym, outdoor crag) you climbed and how far you climbed (by measuring distance climbed) and the app would also automatically record climbs after each ascent/descent. These features no longer work on RedPoint after a iOS update. I paid for the Pinnacle app thinking it would have the same features but it is extremely bare bones and not very helpful to a training regiment. I have seen reviews for Pinnacle with users suggesting these missing features since 5 years ago but the developer has not added any of the features to the app. At this point, paying for the Pinnacle app means you are essentially paying for a fancy climbing themed notebook to log your grades.

3. 5/5Amazing!

   Just started climbing a couple months ago, and the thought of keeping a log book for the gym sounded tedious. The tie-in with the watch to provide an idea for activity, combined with the ability to log sessions, is amazing. One thing I’d like to see is being able to switch from bouldering to top-roping, as my gym has autobelays that make switching from bouldering to top-roping extremely quick. In between sets of boulder problems, I usually get in a nice easy route like a 5.7/5.8. It’s certainly helped my endurance, and would be nice to be able to log that without having to end and begin sessions. Even without that, it’s still a 5-Star app!

4. 4/5Keep the good work

   Good app - I started using it and it feels good. However a couple of improvements would be good: 1. There is now easy way to mark if I was successful in flashing or on-sight or failed a climber from the widget. I need to end the workout and then add notes to it and mark the individual climbs. It would be good as I come down I could mark the climb somehow. 2 the app track timing overall but it doesn’t track time of the climb itself making difficult to understand how much endurance workout have you actually accomplished in lead or top roping - ideally I would like to tap the widget at the beginning of the climb and at the end of the climb and separate rest time from climbing time 3. It would be good if this app would be compatible with other sport watches and heart rate monitors outside the Apple Watch. I use Garmin and their heart rate monitor which records on the apple health but not on your app. Keep up the excellent work and let me know if I am missing something related to this feedback- Best

5. 3/5Decent, but fails to sync correctly

   It’s good at what it does (log climbs), but it doesn’t do good enough. I’ve experienced inconsistencies in what the app shows and what HealthKit actually logs. One climbing session failed to report any heart rate, another session was missing almost half of the session (I think the app accidentally minimized and didn’t record anything while in the background). And just last night, the app only shows half of my recorded session between 7:30-8:30 pm and is missing about half of my logged climbs (while HealthKit shows the full session from 6:30-8:30 PM with heart rate data for all of it). Not sure where the problem lies but the developer has not been responsive. Phone snd AW7 are on latest versions, reboots of both haven’t solved the problem. It’s a big pet peeve of mine when data is not tracking correctly.
