Ascend Climbing Tracker

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.

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.

I love the idea of this app because I like to track my climbs for when I’m feeling like my efforts aren’t paying off...then I can see that I did a high volume of climbs or have been climbing harder, which boosts my spirits. But I’ve noticed that the climbs I log don’t always reflect properly in the insights section. For instance, this month I only climbed a 10a, 10b, and a 10c and somehow the average difficulty is reported as a 5.9. And sometimes at the end of a month, the climbs somehow get bumped over to the next month. For example—climbs that I did at the end of December seemed to show up on the January insights before it was even January yet! I thought all the discrepancies between the log and insights was possibly due to an older version, so i updated, but still have the same issue.

I know it's important to keep track of workouts for progress purposes, but who needs another piece of paper floating around you're just going to lose? Honestly, unless it's in digital form I pretty much can't keep track of anything. That's why I love this app. It makes keeping track of my climbing progress and how often I go climbing very quick and easy. Knowing that my climbs are being tracked and that I'm connected with other people also inspires me to keep hitting the gym on a regular basis. Would recommend!

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
