Review summary

Boulder app is praised for its unique idea connecting climbers and having a good UI design. However, multiple users report critical issues with registration and account setup, including app crashes during photo verification. Users also face problems with data not saving properly and limited user numbers causing few matches. Despite these, the responsive support and ongoing bug fixes give hope for improvement as the app matures.
Pros
  • Great concept for climbers to meet others, either for dating or climbing partners.
  • User interface is generally well designed and easy to use.
  • Customer service is responsive and helpful when contacted.
  • The app is free to use with basic functionality.
  • Actively working to fix bugs and issues as reported by users.
Cons
  • Registration and sign-up process is problematic, often failing or crashing, preventing account creation.
  • App crashes during photo verification steps, especially when taking selfies with specific finger numbers.
  • Profiles have data loss issues, such as disappearing answers or incomplete profile information saving.
  • Limited user base leading to few or no matches, especially outside major climbing hubs.
  • UI is buggy at times, including overlapping pages and lack of certain expected features like better filters or broader search distances.

Unable to create account, app gets stuck on Location page and never shows button to proceed after choosing city. Unusable app.

Registration does not work. Really. The world doesn't need more apps which don't even work in the registration process. This is so poor. Waste of time....

Cannot sign up. Tried entering my phone number, got an error saying "something went wrong", not an useful error message. Tried using my google account, also got the same error message. Is there no way to sign up???

I love the idea, I think I actually imagine an app like this 10y ago. Good someone Didi it. Buuut, it is very buggy. My pictures and questions keep disapearing. Half my profile does not get saved such as my (non) smoking and drinking selections. Also it only uses retard units and v-scale instead of metric and French grades. Also has no option for multipitch, ice and mountaineering in styles.

Can't get past setup, same problem as some other people have experienced, get to where I need to take selfie holding a certain amount of fingers and the app just keeps on crashing

I can't get past the verification because every time I take a photo with the number of fingers required, and submit, the app just crashes, and when I re load the app it asks me to do it again (different number of fingers). Done this 8 times. Please fix.

Always asks for photos despite having the max amount and can't exit that screen without deleting & re-adding one. Also, no interest/matches in nearly 6 months so useless.

When you go 3 days without one match I have to assume it's nothing but bots. I'm fit, tall, good/versed climber, nice dog, but no matches. Seems like it's broken or filled with fake/inactive accounts. I'm near Denver (a popular climbing city) so it's not my locations fault. Just a dead app.

Awefull setup experience, doesn't let you search images, extremely clunky UI. Was not able to complete setup because upload didn't work. I was excited about the app but clearly it wasn't tested at all.

Can't register with a phone number and have to use a google account and picture upload is insanely buggy and require multiple attempts. I get it's a newer platform but if you don't live in an area where there's a huge climbing population you're probably not going to have more than 5 profiles to look at like I did, so how about allowing longer than a 100 mile distance search? Some people might be willing to do long distance.
