Excellent way to track Kitesurfing on your Watch

Have been looking at different watch apps to track kitesurfing. Zef works well at the basics which is all I have really tried so far and I like the fact that it reports and shows the wind direction automatically. It automatically sets the phone into water mode when you start it which is great and seems to keep an excellent track compared to my old GPS Suunato watch and app. To be able to record the same details effectively on the Apple Watch has been my goal and Zef achieves it. The only negative is that I find the buttons small and hard to push on the screen when you start the session (but I need reading glasses) and I’m told if you have internet access you can use Siri instead which sounds great. Keep up the development - thanks.

Fantastic app to track kitesurfing

Love this app it works really well at tracking kite surfing and provides really useful displayes on your phone / ipad and mac to display your data and maps showing your tracks. Well done.

chrrissss ,

It’s ok , a bit quirky

It’s ok, records all relevant data I don’t get why it constantly shows “ save again “on my watch , what is a “ custom tag” why does my sailing spot never appear on the map, the social side is nice but again I never appear on the map at my spot and to be honest the monthly cost it’s a bit expensive for what it is, the watch app and phone app could do with a bit more polish imho

Developer Response ,

Hey Chris, tag is to reference a material or what you want with a session, after that you can filter session’s.
You have some help in views just tap on ? Button
To generate a spot you need to start your session for the first time on the ground and go to water.
