Swim.com: Swim Tracker 4+

Been using this for a few weeks now with the Ultra. Great swim app, much more detailed than Apples.

The only thing that’s missing for me which I would love to see is haptic feedback for lengths. On a Garmin you can set haptic feedback for any distance such as 200 or 500m. This is a great feature because it’s easy to lose track of how many lengths you have done sometimes.

I don’t see why this can’t be added easily? Perhaps the developer could answer?

This app is my ‘go to’ swim logging and analysis app. I have used several independent apps for tracking and analysis, in addition to device specific iPhone apps. The highlights include:
- Excellent, detailed view and presentation of activity analysis broken down by intervals, or lengths.
- Allows correction of incorrect lap counts and details made by devices. Although requiring some mathematical calculations of time to make correct adjustments.
- A good, simple, and clear interface, allowing quick access to ‘You[r]’ previous activities. Presenting a good basic summary, separate from coaching and promotional posts.
- Good integration, logging activities from all devices.
- The Apple Watch app is one of the best fit-for-purpose swimming apps, along with the Apple fitness app. Although, this is not my primary training device.

I haven’t used the ‘Coach[ed]’ activities, a lot. However, the collection of activities that can be sent to your device is decent. It could allow more functionality in searching and finding activities.

This app doesn’t charge a prohibitively excessive annual subscription fee.

The downsides: the app has no iPad interface, and there is no browser interface for browser analysis.

Nb: the app collects a lot of personal data, although necessary to support the functionality, I’m not sure how much this is used outside of the personal analytics functionality.

The automatic resting function is awesome, and it’s pretty accurate with my length count and stroke style, however I wish the home screen told me how many calories I’ve burned whilst in a workout, The only way I can see my calories is when I end the workout. Unfortunately recently the calories burned number has been incredibly inconsistent, for example I have almost identical swims but one says 380 cals and another 250 (I actually swam longer and more lengths so it makes even less sense, heart rate is the same for both and my health data is correct.). Going to have to find another app instead.
