No data. I loaded app, linked it to my Garmin account, and it says "all data downloaded", but shows no sailing, though I record every sail on my watch and can see them in Garmin Connect.

Thanks for telling us. We get how annoying it is when the map you used to see is now covered by an upgrade box. Your feedback has gone to the team. Questions? support@waterspeedapp.com The Waterspeed team

Enshitification. The app used to give basic info about your session and let you see your map clearly, while more advanced info is what you can pay for. Now when opening a session, a text box saying "go beyond the basics" blocks you from looking at just the map. It's extra obnoxious since you don't even get the basics anymore.

Thanks for the honest feedback. Having a "go beyond the basics" box cover the map on a free session is frustrating, and we've shared your review with the team. If you have more thoughts, write to support@waterspeedapp.com. The Waterspeed team
