Apple Watch Ultra is the ultimate companion for all your kitesurf and wingfoil sessions, so Volo just got updated to take full advantage of the most powerful Apple Watch yet.
◆ Three actions, one button
You can configure the Action button to start kitesurf or wingfoil sessions directly from anywhere! So you don't need to remove your gloves if you forgot to start your sessions, how convenient :)
But that's not all! Once you're on the water, you can quickly change views by pressing the Action button; you will switch between Jump, Speed or the default metrics. Are you taking a little break? You can simultaneously press the home + action button and quickly pause or resume the session.
See, a lot of possibilities in a single button.
◆ More accuracy.
With the dual-frequency GPS and better motion sensors, the watch has never been more capable of measuring your sessions than on the new Apple Watch Ultra.
◆ How long did you actually ride? (available on all supported devices)
Volo now shows you exactly how long you have been riding and how long you have been drifting in the water.
◆ Other improvements made in this update:
- Syncing improvements
- Tweaks on for the Home Summary page
- Clearer messaging on what you'll unlock with Volo Plus
- There is now a little bar chart in the Jumps view
- Small bugfixes and UI improvements
- Pause & Resume the session (also possible via the Action + Home button combination)

Volo is a kitesurfing app for watchOS and iOS which helps kitesurfers get better insights into their sessions. Volo shows you how high and many times you have jumped and how fast you went. These metrics are collected by using both the altimeter and the GPS of the Apple Watch. The iOS companion app will provide an excellent overview of statistics, while the watchOS app is the core product to collect data.
■ Kitesurfing Metrics
Volo shows all the kitesurf metrics you care about during your sessions. Things like the height of your jumps, how many jumps you did, average speed, top speed, distance, time and more.
■ Customisable Interface
You're in control of what metric gets which spot. Some of you are speed freaks and only care about their speed metrics, while others are frequent flyers and want to go as high as possible. Volo adapts for both use cases by letting you select which metric goes where on the screen. This can be done with ease from the phone or by tapping on a metric on the watch.
■ Health & Fitness integration
After each session, you will be happy to find that Volo saves every session in Apple’s Fitness app as a Kitesurfing session, including all metrics available like the Route, Total Elevation, Hear rate, Active kCal + more. This is all made possible by using HealthKit.
■ Widgets and complications
For quick access to Volo or just showing your best statistics, you can add a beautiful widget on your home screen or set a complication on your Apple Watch.
