Redpoint: Bouldering & Climb for Negative User Reviews

✓ Good, but battery problemsNice, but seems to crush Apple Watch battery.EstoughtonVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Unusable with latest updateThis used to be a solid app I could count on to record progress. Now it doesn’t reliably record routes, and when I try to manually input routes that it fails to detect, it just overwrites the latest route rather than appending a new route to the session. Please fix. I’m a paid subscriber, so I’d like this to be fixed before auto renewing..Eric StaplesVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Keeps restarting itselfI really like the idea of this app and want to use it but the tracker keeps restarting itself. I’ll climb for 10 minutes, do like 8 bouldering ascents and then I’ll check the app and it will only say I’ve done one even though it said 8 a second ago. Is this something I’m doing wrong? How do I fix this?.Alex1112222Version: 2.8.1

✓ App not recognized by watch as compatibleThe app does not appear in my downloads section of my watch. Even after a good period of time troubleshooting, it seems the fault is not with my watch. The regular app itself is awesome. What the app provides is really cool. I hope that this gets resolved so I can have it on my watch..FonzyLeVersion: 1.0.4

✓ Needs UpdatesIt is a functional app but has issues. The one that affects me the most is switching between top rope/sport climbing to bouldering. The app will register I changed the type of climb but will retain the rating system from the first choice ie if I start bouldering, then switch to top rope, top rope attempts would be logged with the V system. I don’t have any faith that doing it that way would track correctly, so this requires ending a session and starting a new one every time I switch. Outdoors this isn’t an issue at all but at my favorite gym I have bouldering, top rope and lead available and friends who do a little bit of each so it’s very common for me to do all 3 in a session. Please fix I want to keep supporting the app but would like to see an update!.Od1nsonVersion: 3.7.2

✓ GuideWhen ever I try to open the guide it only opens for a second then just closes. I was wondering if you could tell me why.WavyGravy34Version: 3.6.2

✓ Great app but some problems behind the paywallA lot of great functions here and would be happy to give 5 starts if not for the following issues - app crashes when hiding an ascent (would be nice to just delete them) - not able to track projects. You can log each attempt and send with great tags (though no on-site tag) but would be nice to be able to track them in projects for example ( 2 attempts and 1 send on a particular V4) - visual layout of data would be great to see in bar graphs but that’s more nitpicky than anything..WorrmingtonVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Very buggyDisappointing. Was working ok on previous phone but when I got a new phone it didn’t bring the previous data across and now won’t sync with the same Apple Watch I was previously using..Mikeysee456Version: 3.6

✓ Has let itself downI orginally started using this and it worked out really well. Ive been using it fo 2 years now. A few problems with it. *New phone device set up doesnt always sync the data, I lost a years worth of data with no support from the developer. Now that really hacked me off as it was my first ever year of climbing and I had really relevant measures in there to look back on for training. *The grading tends to default back to it orignal setting rather than stay on the one chosen. *The height swops between m and ft on its own during use. * What is the point of having 'bouldering' and 'top rope' as separate climbs you can switch between, when the app just amalgamates them as the same climb rather than two different measures or grades. You could do a boulder at 4a and a top rope at 6c but the app doesnt allow you to log two grades, only one. I have emailed the developer at least 3 times now and havent had any response (initially they were quite response in the beginning). I use the app as a guide but now my data is all written in a log book. Frustrated and disappointed as this had the potential to be a good app but the developer just doesnt respond - its been months!! I wont be promoting or using the app as my main log as its too unreliable and loses data..CadenceAzVersion: 3.7.2

✓ This app is a great starting point but not perfectMy two biggest gripes with this app are that you can’t delete a session if you accidentally start one by accident. Secondly when using the app on the Apple Watch your climbing grade is stuck with which ever discipline you start your session with. (Start bouldering then switch to top rope and you can only log routes under V scale not YDS). If they fixed this it would be a 5star app.Brewerboy101Version: 3.7.2

✓ Watch app doesn't work + no support availableWatch app logs all my climbs/bouldering problems as 0cm high, and when I emailed the team for support in troubleshooting it, I received no reply (waiting for 1 week and counting)..KatieastropheVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Heart is in the right place but needs workThe idea of automatically tracking ascents is great, and is why I gave this a try, but it works very poorly. In one session it tracked 70+ ascents, and even though I was purposely pausing the tracking while belaying it kept tracking on ascents every few minutes at random. Considering the watch knows when you’re going up and when you’re coming down it shouldn’t be too hard not to add ascents when not moving vertically… and for a climbing specific app it should take into account that at least half the time you’ll be belaying (or resting between attempts if bouldering). It is not clear whether this is accounted for in the final calories/workout tracking. I’ll be looking forward to future versions but right now it shows more promise than ability..IlmungoVersion: 2.3.4

✓ App no longer tracks properlyDeveloper has been emailed twice about this, but climbs are not tracked properly. For instance on the watch I logged 3 climbs, and it still said “1 ascent” in the logbook. The latest update did not fix this even though he said it would so I’ve unfortunately had to move to another app I don’t like as much, but which works. I’d love to come back to this if this bug is ever fixed, but for now it’s not usable..MwynerVersion: 3.4

✓ Almost greatReally nice clean app, super easy to track all your climbs. My biggest gripe is the lack of analytics provided, failed climbs and sends get mixed up a lot in some graphs and there is no easy way to see them compared. Would love to see a success rate for each grade implemented as well as better distinguishing between sends and fails on Strava export.Do I really need a name AppleVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Suddenly stopped tracking climbsI love this app and have used it probably since right after it came out. But my last two bouldering sessions it has not recognized most of my climbs. Not sure if something is going on with The app or if it’s my new Apple Watch, but the altitude on the new Apple Watch has been fine on all of my hikes. Help!.RogueYogiVersion: 3.4

✓ Poor supportI really like the app’ and the concept but syncing to Strava is flaky and unreliable. Having said that, it’s nothing like as unreliable as the developer support - no meaningful response to my emails regarding bugs on several seperate occasions..Bucko aVersion: 3.7.3

✓ Really slick UI and great features, but tripped up by bugsThe ability to add your own grading systems is great for bouldering gyms that don’t use V grades. The smart training tips based on session length and breaks taken are useful. Automatic climb detection is usually ballpark accurate. You can set a default height per discipline, which is a great idea but doesn’t get used as much as it could - my top rope default height is set to 10m, so if I mark a top rope route as sent, adjusting a measured 9m to 10m would be good. Being able to set wall height per gym might be useful. The most buggy part is the watch app interactivity during the session. Assigning a grade to your most recent detected attempt by pressing on it only works during maybe 1/20 sessions for me. For the other 19 sessions it just offers to “remove ascent”. This stops you from logging as you go which removes a lot of functionality for me. Unless your gym has QR codes for routes set up, you can’t assign a route photo to a climb - understandably you can’t assign a QR code if there isn’t one, but I’d still like to be able to attach a picture I’ve taken of the route. Baseline wander for altitude. I’ll try and pause the activity more and see if that helps at all, but the option to press a button to return your current altitude to “gym ground level” after a climb would be good..ILoveRainbowDashVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Ignore anything written in this app!!!Whoever wrote this app doesn’t know the first thing about climbing... A chapter on finger muscles??? You don’t have muscles in your fingers. Look at a medical chart please!.EBCRecordsVersion: 1.0.4

✓ A nice basic app but needs some UI workLogs climbs (on ropes) accurately enough. Nice integration with the Apple Watch. Unfortunately, the app interface is a little wonky. Data isn’t displayed on remotely useful axes, there’s no easy way to delete individual climbs from sessions or manually alter the “type” of climb if you forgot to switch from top rope to lead, etc. Generally useful and insightful to use, but without solid data visualization, it isn’t worth paying for premium. Please tighten up the data vis and user interface for editing climbs and climbing types, combining sessions, and add more insight in the data to make it worth logging the type of climb, ie onsight, flash, red point. Breaking out data by type of climb like top rope, sport, or bouldering needs to be better integrated as well..AffluentNarwhalVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Needs some love from the developer recentlyThis was a five star that I often recommended to fellow climbers looking to track their ascents both inside gyms and outdoors. There are some outstanding bugs related to editing ascents, specifically one that doesn’t allow you to commit the changes properly. Another bug causes the app to freeze when you attempt to switch disciplines. And, ss of March 2024, the altitude recording doesn’t work on a first gen Ultra. This would be a 5 star app if it worked like it used to last year..Badger_tadgerVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Buggy, but functionalThe core climbing tracking works well, but the app is buggy. Every time I open the app I get two pop ups to turn on health tracking, and workouts are not being recorded to the activity app..LukeofthehillVersion: 3.5.1

✓ Was 5 stars until latest watch OS 10.4Was a great app, but since my watch updated to OS 10.4 (Apple Watch Series 6), Redpoint will only record that I have ascended 0m and done 0 ascents when bouldering - please fix it! The compass on the watch is correctly displaying altitude changes, so it must be the app..ChrisD000Version: 3.7.2

✓ Fantastic for logging, moderate data visualization and poor data export.I have had the app since October 2019, I really started using it more since August this year. Pros: SUPER Easy logging, Fantastic Apple Watch integration. I can easily climb a Boulder in the gym and note the grade and it automatically saves altitude, heart rate, calories and time. Training section seems helpful and has good suggestions/ Tipps about rest and getting better. However, it’s not as good as Ascend for logging progression or how many hard climbs you send time. (Or names of routes) It does show how many of each grade you attempt but doesn’t differentiate sends and falls. Cons: Hard to export data, leaderboard feature broken/ displays nothing, long term activity seems slow to update..Royus7Version: 3.5.7

✓ Did not save session properlyUsed it for my bouldering session for the first time this morning. Although the app was great during it, it did not save the season properly on my watch, losing the last climb, and it did not save a workout event in the iOS workout app. I will try again to see if it was just a one-time issue..Spartan Jerry 1075Version: 3.7.2

✓ Great but...Love this app to track my climbs with my apple watch, and I just bought the year membership it's that good. Just one problem with this new update is that the top grade is now broken. Multiple days I've climbed V5-6 and it says V1 as the top, even if you click inside and you can see you documented a harder climb. Please fix.Anthony I.Version: 2.5

✓ Only allows one ascent per sessionThe app seems to have a bug where it only allows me to add one ascent per session. When I tap add new ascent it overwrites the previous one. The whole reason I downloaded it was to be able to manually add multiple ascents in the same session so it’s unusable for me :(.LooseelVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Getting buggier and buggier- altimeter doesnt work anymore - randomly switches bet ft and m - can’t really add/edit ascents, changes dont stick - crashes when trying to open settings on phone - developer unresponsive to email.MBinLondonVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Editing issuesJust tried this app today and compared the results with what I knew I did. It was easy to use the app with the watch when you were currently climbing - it detects a climb, you select the grade and tick type. However, I started the app late and wanted to add some climbs. The app would not save the additional runs in the logbook (despite clicking save). I also wanted to change the grade type for a couple of them, and it wouldn’t save that info either. There is also an option to hide the run (deleting and altering altitude is in progress), but when I select hide, the app crashes for me. I hope the developers fix this issue, and I will change rating to 5 stars..12peterVersion: 3.5.1

✓ So far I really like this appThis might be user error, so I apologize if so. I got really confused on tracking my bouldering today. I have had the app for a little while but actually remembered to utilize it today. I used it in such a way that now I realize was probably wrong. I’d find a route press start bouldering slide over to select the grade and begin my ascent. Once I would either succeed or fail I’d end the session and start again on the next one, I’m guessing I actually need to be pausing in between ascents but in that case can I switch grades when I switch routes? I love keeping track of my ascents, but I worry some of them weren’t accurate like it saying I got 9ft when I’d barely get past the start of a problem. I also think that either I barely paid attention to the beginning of the app instructions/tutorial or it could have been clearer. (Again could have just been user error.) All in all I do feel like as I get used to using this app and how to properly use it I’ll enjoy it more. I also realized it needed to be updated so I’m hoping when I go again on Wednesday it’s more accurate since I just updated it..Prettybird.marieVersion: 2.4.3

✓ Spam notificationsThis is the only app I’ve ever downloaded that, out of the blue, started sending me notification demands for payment. Needless to say it’s being deleted..Kev303Version: 3.1.1

✓ Not for Me I guessI’m a Boulderer with an Apple Watch so was excited to see this. Weird tracking though. What boulderer tracks total ascended distance as a core metric? As far as I can see you can’t track climbs by grade—the most obvious feature to include in my opinion. Decent looking interface though so I’ll give it 2 stars.Mth12Version: 1.0.4

✓ Not quite there yetI love the idea but it was really buggy for me when I tried it. There really is no other climbing tracker for iOS, so if this worked it would be awesome. Maybe if I had a smartwatch, it would be better, but running it on my phone wasn’t working well, so I gave up..AndrewcayerVersion: 3.7.2

✓ Was good, now it breaks half the timeIdk what changed, but almost everytime I’m climbing now it stops recording after 2 hours… so the last week of climbing hasn’t recorded one session. Disappointed.GotmoosefurVersion: 3.5.6
