Question 1

Does PaddleTrack need Wi-Fi or cellular?

Accepted Answer

No. PaddleTrack uses GPS to record your route and stays on your device. Your data never leaves your phone.

Question 2

How accurate is the distance?

Accepted Answer

GPS accuracy depends on your environment, but PaddleTrack filters out satellite drift and false jumps. In tests, our distance matches Apple Maps to within 5%.

Question 3

What happens to my data?

Accepted Answer

Everything stays on your device. No cloud, no account, no tracking. You own your paddling record from day one.

Question 4

Can I edit a session after I save it?

Accepted Answer

You can edit the note on any session and change the craft type (kayak, canoe, or SUP). Distance and time are recorded from GPS and cannot be edited.

Question 5

Does it work with Apple Watch or Strava?

Accepted Answer

Apple Watch is supported. PaddleTrack records your paddle on Apple Watch, reads heart rate and active energy from Apple Health, and writes your workout to Apple Health. Strava and other external services are not supported.

Question 6

What about calories burned?

Accepted Answer

PaddleTrack logs your paddle and displays heart rate and active energy from Apple Health. It does not estimate calories or provide training advice.
