Ascend Climbing Tracker

Great app and it actually works. Thanks.

I love the idea and hope to get it to work, but every time I go to manually put in the grade and route, it crashes and makes me restart, never actually putting it on my profile.

Easy to use and a nice way to track your success on routes. First time I used it though I manually entered a session with 7 climbs. Then it started saying my total number of climbs was 47... WAT

...the notes feature is extremely lacking. I use it to track diet, how the session felt, training regiment after. It's just a snippet when you view the session after saving, as opposed to something more useful, like a full-screen display of your notes. The graphs are interesting. what would be nice is if I could place universal date markers for the graphs that are some kind of metric over time. this way if I start a new cycle of training or new exercise, I can actually see dips and falls as time goes on. overall - Im using this app as a cloud repository of all my climbing and training data, with useful visualizations of that data. so a 5-star rating from me is based on that. So a justification of my rating/opinion: - 1 star off because the social aspect is practically useless for me, and I wish that I could start up the app with ONLY my sessions in the journal view. The heart of the issue here is that logging and viewing MY data is not first-and-forthmost in the UI. It's too many taps and I'm either at the gym or crag. It's cumbersome and there's room for features that can streamline this experience. For example, adding a feature where force-pressing the app icon to log a session, and any workflows stemming from it, would help with this IMO. - another star off due to useless UI elements and misc flaws. notes UI is trash as mentioned above, the only graph that's useful (for me at least) for tracking progress is avg difficulty (which doesn't need a subscription), other graphs are quite useless relative to that. milestones feel useless or artificial but I would have to think about this more to articulate why I find it useless too. I appreciate that there's an app like this. Unfortunately the UI/UX, while functional and bug-free and pretty...is seemingly more centered around this cobbling-together of stats. And it holds the app back sooooo much from what it potentially could be.

Like how it tracks progress and compares over time. Would gladly pay for premium version that has apple watch aupport

This tool seems really useful, and I will totally use it more and more. I work at a rock gym, and I can see this being a valuable tool for coaching teams and adult classes. I think it’d be ever more useful with a watch companion, as climbing with a phone in your pocket can be tricky and updating the app after each climb seems like a little much. Even a small Bluetooth companion that could connect to a chalk bag or harness could make this app even more useful.

You can track a climb’s data, but you can’t save it without an internet connection!!! What a glaringly massive oversight for an app that often is used in remote places outdoors. I wanted to track my first outdoor climbs yesterday but I could not save anything because I couldn’t load nearby locations. Since the app forces you to add a location in order to be able to save the data, I had to give up on it. Please remove this requirement and make locations optional; or at the very least a simple text box you can write in without having to be connected to a cell network

App seems cool but I don't climb with my phone for obvious reasons of weight and falling on it and flexibility limitations if it's in my pocket. Make an apple watch app that just has V blank a scroll bar and 5. Blank scroll bar. And I'm happy to keep the app. For now though I can't really use it. I'll keep it on my phone for a month or two. Hope you can update it by then! Sorry about the harsh rating. I just can't use the app so idk 2 Star for effort? Thanks for the reply... So I updated it to 4 stars which is the current average. I still can't use the app but yah I'll wait I guess. Overall it seems like a cool app, but I don't climbing with my phone or leave it out since they crazy expensive now. Hoepfully you can get the apple watch update out asap.

App is has crashed multiple times

I was looking for a way to mark routes and rate my progress. This app does everything I was looking to do and more!
