MyClimb: Learn, Train, Climb

I really like this app, I wanted an app to track my own climbs and this was recommended to me. I’ve been using it for about six months and once I got used to it I really liked it! I track all my sessions now, indoor and out. One thing I would like this app to have is an easier way to log running laps on a route. For example I’ll often run 5 laps on the same 10a, and right now I have to log that as 5 separate climbs. Maybe something like the “attempts” option that lets you log how many attempts, but for laps. It would also be cool if there was some sort of data over time visualization, like a line graph with your top climb of each month/week/etc, so you could more easily see your own progress over time (rather than just raw number of climbs). I will definitely continue to use MyClimb regardless, I’m a data nerd so I love having one place that stores all this data for me!

I love being able to track my climbing progress with MyClimb. There are also a couple of other climbers at my gyms who use this app, so it’s helpful for building a sense of community if you can support each other digitally when you’re not actually at the gym! I know some folks like to go analog and track climbs on paper but I find it’s been really useful to track digitally. I’ve been using My Climb for several years and have loved being able to pull up graphs charting my progress and showing where I’m at now vs. different points in my climbing history. Definitely worth using!

When I go to log a climb manually there are some routes on there not from my gym even if I have it filtered. But it didn’t do that before I updated it. And the workouts are WAY too hard I liked how the workouts were before the update. You could choose to do an easy workout or a hard workout. But now their is only 1 workout I will actually probably be able to do for bouldering. So please change the workouts back to how they were. 😁 but this app is very helpful. But not the workouts. I know the workouts are supposed to be more personalized and I answered the “survey” correctly but it was way harder than I can climb. Also now when I get notifications they don’t show up on my home screen. I have to actually go into the app and go to notifications. So that’s annoying.

Edit: These issues have almost completely gone away, so I've revised my score to four stars. I enjoy this app a lot when it works, but it gets stuck on the opening screen probably 75% of the time (100% if loading from a home screen notification) and I have to force quit the app and start over frequently. At least four times, it's given me a "something went wrong" message when trying to post a session and I've had to write down my climbs, delete the session, and reenter everything. I have an iPhone XS, but my friends with Androids have had some of these same issues. I've tried deleting and reinstalling with no difference in performance. It's a fun and engaging app otherwise, and I guess the fact that I'm putting myself through all this to use it proves it.

I started indoor climbing a few months ago and wanted to build my endurance as well as track my progress. This is the perfect app for all of the things I needed in a training program. The workouts are perfect for Endurance and Strength building, they are completely exhausting which is exactly what they should be! I’ve even found friends in the app around the world by “competing” in climbing challenges all while doing what I’ve always done......climb! I can’t wait to start climbing outdoors and track my progress using the app as well!
