— NEW: APPLE WATCH APP —

SKATE LIKE A PRO
iSkate is a skate computer for tracking your rides -- always at your fingertips on your iPhone!


- Post your recordings to Facebook and Twitter
- Full iOS7/8 and iPhone6/6+ compatibility with multi tasking support
- Now with HealthKit integration to evaluate your statistics
- Continuous Recording of your training with the display turned off for up to 8 hours


iSkate provides all the information you need on the track. Our stylish user interface combined with maximum ease of use create a new experience on the skates that has never been done before.

FEATURES

- Accurate values for current speed, average speed, maximum speed, total distance, trip distance, current altitude, climbed altitude, burned calories as well as trip time. Units can be set to US or metric.

- Watch yourself automatically move on the map and zoom in on your trail

- Receive your trips via email (KML und GPX) and review them at home (e.g. with Google Earth) or share them with other skaters

- Suspend, pause and resume for trips allows you to receive calls or take a break

- iPod function can be used together with iSkate

Based on countless test drives and refinement we calculate all values with maximum precision of the built in GPS. You have never seen your actual performance on the skates before -- there has not been anything like a skate computer before!

For the full experience we recommend to use it in an iPod pocket on your jacket or another pocket where the phone can directly catch GPS signals from the sky.

BUT THERE IS ONE MORE THING!

A MAP! Including trails! In the cities, nearly all streets and side-trails are there: Somebody from the huge OpenStreetMap community has already mapped the trail for you! A community of more than 150.000 people is constantly mapping trails around the globe!

This really brings skating to the professional level! Our iSkate App makes perfect use of what the iPhone can do with GPS, connectivity and the amazing screen resolution.

And watching your tracks at home is more fun then ever, especially after a hard workout!

GET FREE UPDATES SOON!

Our community is thrilled by the maps and the intuitive and sleek UI. We are eager to get feedback and implement cool new stuff. We care about your opinion! Check it out and let us know what you like and if there is anything you miss!

iSkate - SKATING WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!

Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Needs an update

The Watch app cant be installed because it needs an update. The GPS track seems to be inaccurate. Pretty disappointing for $10.

inaccurate GPS and Calories measurements

Pro’s:
export to 1-2 sports
export track to email
one of the few skate app out there
Con’s:
developpers do not listen to users, no feed-back.
GPS is inaccurate
Calories count is inaccurate (without hear monitoring)
I only give it three stars because to me, it is absolutely inacceptable to not be able to report bugs and get feed-back. No excuse. You can get the same using Vima, and they do take your advice.
Narrative:
I use several tracking devices to compare one with the other; Vima, iSkate, Polar watch, Timex IronMan Global Trainer.
I skate several times a week on the same track, measured at 1.2 miles.
The Vima App is the closest to the actual distance. Almost perfect over several distances and a month of attempts.
The iSkate App counts less in all situations.
The worse is the Timex Global Trainer, but there is an explanation. The GPS on that watch is totally inefficient, and it looses connection along the track, resulting in a totally shorter false distance.
The Polar watch does not have GPS, but I use it as the reference for Calories.
Heart Rate is monitored by both the Timex and the Polar;
The Polar is the most accurate.
So, for a three hours skate here are the values:
iSkate: 1385 kcal
Polar: 2098 kcal
Vima: 3733 kcal
The Polar is the only that monitors heart rate.

Works Great!

I wanted an app that would track my movement put it on a map and give me some basic telemetry, and iskate works great!(Even on my old iphone 4S running ios 9.2) It only requires that your device has a gps chip and doesn't use cellular or wifi data to collect information. I would however love a feature that allowed me to download new tracks and get turn by turn directions.
