Pinnacle Climb Log

This app has helped me track my progress and motivated me to improve my climbing. Well worth a one off purchase. No ‘pro’ version with hidden features. Syncs really well to Health, Strava etc.

I’ve used this for a few weeks & I really like the interface and ease of use. However for some reason the app no longer updates my climbs after finishing a session. I was using this to help with training & keep a track of my grades so now it’s pretty much redundant.

I use Pinnacle to track my indoor bouldering sessions via my Apple Watch. I fed back to the developer on a couple of points and one release later those points have both been added. (Updated below) Only reason I’ve not given it the perfect 5 stars is occasionally a session can fail to end and save. I think because it requires the watch to be active until the session is saved, so when you’re knackered, push save and collapse you gotta keep your wrist raised until it saves. Update: Saving is now much quicker and more reliable! Not had any issues since the latest update.

Just brilliant app, also props to a very responsive developer keen to improve based on feedback. Seriously impressive watch integration simple interface great dashboard one of the best watch apps that beats built in activity app by vertical miles

I love this app for tracking my heart rate against the climbs I complete, currently I’m only using it for indoor bouldering but will use it once we get back outdoors too. My only grievance is the lack of detail in the app. I’d love to be able to click into each climb I logged and see the altitude and heart rate for that particular climb, at the moment I have to use it in conjunction with another app to make the data logged worthwhile.

The only things this app are missing is the ability to say if you failed a bouldering and a rest timer. When I am on a V3, it can take me multiple tries to get it right. I would prefer to log it as a failed attempt rather than a success. I would also love a rest timer. I could have a rest timer for failed and one for success. That way I am not sitting around for 5 plus minutes resting. It’ll give me a gentle beep to say let’s get back to it. Amazing app!

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.

Bought this app a few weeks ago, the app will not download onto my Apple Watch that runs WatchOS 8.8.1. I've reached out to the developer through the suggested outlets but have not heard anything back for 2 weeks. Not sure if the app is broken for older watches but everything else downloads fine on my watch. Hopefully this gets changed in the future but for now be aware of you use an older watch.

This is way more fun than just turning on an open climbing workout in Apple’s Workout app. I like having the graph of what I’ve done each workout. I’m also glad I can see my heart rate during a climb, which helps me realize when I need to take a rest instead of pushing through. I had some issues initially, but I contacted the developer and they asked me to reboot my Watch, which I had not done since installing the app. That fixed all the problems I was having. No crashes, syncing afterwards works well, etc. Now I am confident in recommending this app.

I liked the app and it's pretty easy to use. Need some more basic features like easy to mark a climb a flash or repeat along with report on how many were flashed in a session and what is current flash level etc. Current way of marking a climb a flash is quite cumbersome.
