‘Heart Rate only supported with Apple watch’
01/18/2023

Bill🛶
I have an apple watch (Ultra), and heart rate works in the health app, but records nothing in this app and I see the message ‘Heart Rate only supported with Apple watch’.I wish stroke rate worked for SUP. I’ve tried using Crew, but that does not provide an accurate stroke rate for paddling.This app did not live up to the description that I based my purchase on.

Developer Response
Hello Bill, Sorry to hear about heart rate not logging with Paddlr on your Apple Ultra Watch. I've tried to reproduce this problem but can only conclude health permissions are not set correctly. Try going to Settings->Health->Data Access & Devices->Paddlr on your paired phone and make sure all permissions are turned on including Heart Rate. If this does not solve your problem, please contact us at paddlrinfo@gmail.com and we'll open a support ticket.SUP was added as an activity type only for labeling purposes so it shows up as SUP activity in app History, file export, and uploads to Strava. I should be more clear in app description that SUP is currently not supported for stroke count. Apologize for any confusion. Stroke count for SUP is the most frequently asked feature request and we're actively working on supporting it in a future release.

Turn off pulsing?

Pulsating?
I’ve been using this app for a few years now while SUP. All of a sudden my watch is pulsating while using. How do I turn that off? It’s annoying.

Developer Response
Thanks for sharing your issue with watch pulsating. I have not heard of this issue nor encountered it with any of my users. By pulsating do you mean haptic vibrations? Any audible sounds? Please send an email to paddlrinfo@gmail.com detailing your exact issue. Include Paddlr app version (available at bottom of settings screen on phone), your Apple Watch model and watchOS version, and the exact settings on watch - paddle style, stroke count min cadence alerts, etc. Once I have this information we can start troubleshooting the issue. Thanks, -Brian.

Like it. Wish it had distance per stroke.

I use an Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the Paddlr app. I got it for double blading (surf ski). While I like the cadence option, I really wish it also tracked distance per stroke.

Unable to link my paddles tracked from my Apple Watch

Don’t like bringing my phone since you know. Water. But am unable to link my paddles tracked via my Apple Watch. Lack of options other than pressing the sync button a lot

Developer Response
Hello Peter,Sorry you are having issues using Paddlr. I encourage you to try the latest version (2022.3) with improved paddle session transfer from watch to phone.All reported issues have been resolved including longer sessions not making it to phone. Transferred sessions automatically show up on History screen when transfers complete - no need for Sync button as that is for iCloud only. Transfers are scheduled for delivery and arrive at phone when conditions are optimal.The Sync button will be removed in future versions allowing iCloud stored sessions (when turned on in Paddlr Settings) to sync automatically.-Brian.
