I’ve been developing a foiling app for the Apple Watch for some time now, and it’s getting close to completion. It would be amazing to get it into the hands of real foilers for proper testing. I’m particularly looking for prone surfers and dock starters to help fine tune the algorithms for those recording modes, but all foilers are welcome! If you’re interested in testing the app or have suggestions for features you feel are missing from the apps you currently use, send me a DM!
Nice!
A few questions
-
Can you use this without being in range of your IPhone?
-
Can you somehow export the info to your PC to review there rather than on phone?
You can record sessions using either your Apple Watch or iPhone. The Apple Watch offers a far superior experience and does not require a connection to the iPhone while recording.
I’m planning to add support for exporting tracks in GPX format, which can be imported into many different tools. However, you’ll miss out on many foiling-specific features if you review the tracks in a generic web-based tool. On the iPhone, you’ll get detailed data, including foiling stats, jibe and tack analysis for wingfoiling, wave and linked wave counts for prone foiling, and tailored insights for dock starts if that’s your passion. Next step is adding analysis for dw but that will come later.
Thanks for answering. Looks like you are well along in the process so congrats on that!
Here is a tool I did for myself, maybe some insight would be interesting for you.
I dont have an Iphone or watch to test your app sadly, so my tool from watch GPX will have to do for now,
Hi Jenz,
I regularly Prone and Wing with a bit of SUP, Kite or Dockstart thrown in every now and then. I use or have used Strava, Waterspeed and Hoolan for Wing/Kite and I use Dawn Patrol for Prone. I have an Apple Watch Ultra 2.
All of these apps have some changes that I would love to see implemented, so happy to take part in the Beta testing.
