Water sports tracker for Apple Watch or iPhone

Downwind Foil
1

I created a simple tracker app for Apple Watch and iPhone because I wasn’t satisfied with the existing options. The app is specifically designed with a focus on downwind foiling.
You can download and test it for free. Please let me know what you think or if you have questions!

Features:

  • GPS tracking for all water sports
  • iPhone and Apple Watch support
  • Seamless water sports workout import and export with Health*
  • Statistics, tags, and editing of routes*
  • Lifetime option available
  • Simple and beautiful design
  • Cool water sport sticker pack :open_mouth:
  • Your workout data stays on your device. You’re the customer, not the product

Could there be a way to have friends on the app that allow you to share your tracks with each other? It would be really cool to have an option for their flights during your session to be displayed on the same map.

I think it would be even more useful if people with cell service could allow an overseer to monitor a downwind race in realtime. The visuals, stats, and safety aspects of that would be amazing.

I had the live tracking aspect in at first, but it seems like there are other companies specializing in race tracking, so I don’t think I am going to try to tackle that for the moment. Also because I am not intending to make the app for Android as well. We found that using WhatsApp tracking in our group chat is enough in terms of seeing where everybody is and everybody already has WA.

Importing XGPS files is on the list. Especially for the Garmin people out there :smiley:

Cool, will check it out. I guess for most the data privacy angle is maybe less interesting (but I get it), it would be cool if you made it 100x better than the alternatives for DW specifically, that could be cool. What is unique about DW that isn’t addressed by the alternatives.

To my mind the thing that is missing is “who is going fastest” in the broader community, and among friends, which I guess is incompatible with your data privacy angle, but something to consider (privacy preserving leaderboards…?)

Eg this idea

That online leaderboard is a great idea! I will gladly add xgps export for my app if that is a feature a lot of people want!
My main focus was simply great Health integration, lightweight design and easy on the battery for Apple Watch.

First, “ if the product is free, you are the product. “ is my signature in my email. So thanks for that. I will definitely check it out.

Second, what is this WA tracking?

Thank you! I mean there are some great products that are just free and maintained for free or on donation basis too!

WA == WhatsApp
