Vertical-Life Climbing

Browser version is much better

Any app that requires an internet connection is bad. Doing that with a climbing guidebook app is irresponsible, irritating, and not safe.

So incredibly difficult to navigate. I have to scroll through every boulder at my crag to tick something lol. Changing from font to hueco scale doesn’t do anything. Way way way too difficult to figure anything out. Also I was told there’s a guidebook uploaded to it but I literally can’t find it. 😂

Please add a private mode to this app. Not everyone wants to share their sends but do want to log ascents. I assumed this would be a function and am disappointed.

This app makes it so much easier for me to track my progress at my gym and to see which problems I have done and which I have yet to do. The only thing preventing this from being a five star review is that I can’t sort problems by location. Whenever I send a problem, I have to scroll through problems of certain grade or color until I find the one in the correct location. It would save so much time if I could sort by location to identify all V_ problems in a particular location. One other great feature would be if rankings were done for bouldering in addition to lead climbing, but that would just be a bonus.

As you can see from the reviews this app is probably not worth your time. I think I would be able to track my progress more easily just by writing down what I’ve done in my notes app. In theory, having all the routes automatically uploaded by my gym would make it more convenient, but you can’t find anything, you can’t search ANYTHING at your gym so it takes absolutely forever to navigate and add progress, you can’t easily track what you have and haven’t done, it’s just not helpful as a training tool and I feel like I’m wasting my time at the gym scrolling and swiping to search for my climbs to add them.

The whole concept behind the app is cool, but the UI is horrible. The app is filled with bugs, and is so hard to use. Other apps like KAYA have really got their stuff figured out. Their UI is very easy to use and looks good. Not the case for Vertical life. Also, the customer support is pretty bad. Their responses are slow, and when I submit bug reports they tell me to sign in and out, update the app (which has not been updated in a month!), and re-download the app if. This is not how you treat bugs! You fix them and push an update. Hopefully the devs can get their stuff figured out and actually make this a decent app.

I downloaded this app and purchased a premium subscription so that I could download different areas for use when I don’t have service. It worked great the first day I didn’t have service. The second day, after not changing any download settings, descriptions of routes started to disappear, photos of routes and approaches were no longer loading. It’s sad when downloaded data can’t stay downloaded when you need it most.

I would love the ability to sort or filter by route setter.

I keep trying to login and I keep getting error even though I set up and register on the website? I login in to zlagboard just really would to us this app looks really cool and hope it helps my training but confused to what else to do?
