Pebble Climbing 4+

Finally able to track my progress!

There’s a problem where I can’t report a missing climb. It says to select a grade, but it won’t let me.

Aside from that, I’m happy to have a way to track progress and look back at what I tried and sent.

Interesting concept - confusing implementation

Its interesting to have an app to track attempts and sends during a workout. However, a lot of the actions I want to do are difficult or missing from this app.

It should be easier to use the session to add climbs. Currently a session is useless to me. I have to navigate to the “Gyms” tab, pick the gym I’m at, find the section, find the climb, and indicate if I sent it or “fell”. For sessions to be useful, I’d love if you could pin the gym you are at and if you could save some routes as your active projects. I want to open the app and click once or twice to indicate if I sent or not. The current flow discourages me from recording climbs. The “recommended problems” that you already have is a much better UI, but I did not find it initially. There’s also when you scroll down on an individual gym and click “All Boulders”. This UI is also decent. Why are there 3 different ways to filter/mark sends? And the 2 good ones are hard to find!

The app freezes if I click Profile > Wristband but try to back out.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you found the way to get to your gym by following the gym and then navigating to it through your dashboard from the recommended climbing section. You can click on the gym card there and get directly to the areas of the gym. Keeping the clicks down is always a priority. That’s why we’ve added a few ways to get to places. We’re currently working on a wristband and scanner solution that would further simplify things and keep the interaction in the app to a minimum. Look for it in your gym soon.

Pebble is great!

I really like using it to track my climbing sessions both at the gym and outside at the crag.

I also really like that you can compete with your friends at your local crag or the gym and see where you stack up on the leaderboard.

If you're into developing new areas, it makes it really easy to create guides with beta descriptions, route characterics, media, and maps.

You can even filter climbs in a guide based on what you're looking for.

Are you just looking for overhanging, crimpy v6s at Joes?

Just filter the list of climbs in the Joes guide.

You can do the same thing indoors, too.

Have you sent all the Red Dots in the OG Bouldering at the Front?

If you'd been tracking your climbs in Pebble, you'd know!

Best of all, though, there are new features coming out all the time!
