North and PIQ for Android
It works
Great
Does the job very well, just wish there was a bigger community, to compare yourself on the leaderboard.
Do jumps see score
This app sucks! Not only is it in complete beach of the user privacy by posting the record on the North academy automatically, but it forces you to do everything while you are online to make sure they get the data and the info they want including your location that you have to switch on. Had I known that I would not have bought the app. In addition, you do not seem to be able to use the tracker on two different phones. There is no computer based software, etc etc etc. This is a complete rip off. Do not buy the product PIQ tracker and do not get this app. I will complain now to North directly. This is in beach of European laws! I hope you get a lawsuit you and your useless app that does not even provide interesting info and does not work with go pro. I am so getting woo! I come back to your reply here below, what you are saying is false. There is no need to force géolocalisation ans uploading data onto the north web site. This is utterly illegal! Stop it right now. And yes it is in breach of EU laws. Check it yourself before you get a law suit!
The PIQ app is absurdly exacting when it comes to permissions. It basically demands access to your entire device - phone calls, SMSs, all pictures and other stored data, *even the microphone*. The vast majority of this data is not required for what the PIQ does, but they demand it nonetheless. As soon as I try to remove any of those permissions, the app stops working, making the 200+ euros PIQ device useless. Let's be clear on this: this is horribly unethical business behaviour. You buy an expensive device, and then you find out that you simply cannot use it unless you give the producer unbridled access to your phone. Potentially, this app might be snooping on my private conversations and photos. This is ridiculous. I would enjoy the PIQ as a fun kiteboarding toy, but I feel that I've been scammed instead. Get your act together, PIQ and North. [Update: I got a mail reply from PIQ telling me the technical reasons why the app is so demanding. They also promised to improve the app so that it still works if you disable some of those permissions. I added two stars because of that. The app will easily deserve more than that once the more granular permissions are in place].
Too many permissions, too complicated, should have diffrent app for solo use, no comunity. Device was paid for, was not cheap, so why share privacy for it? I will never look at north brand the same ever. Lame lame lame
Did a first session, all was good. Puts a new perspective with the actual data!
Nice GUI, and info. Like the idea of the PIQ score, like the detail you can input when saving sessions; temp, wind strength and dir', waves etc. Its refreshing having moved across from WOO.
Great piece of kit to make kitesurfing more awesome! Push your limits!
Awesome
Would be good to get the raw data as well as the summary. Good start though!
Great
Great! Cool and easy to use

The app could be optimized a lot as it's pretty slow and not really good XP, but it does the work and it shows the info the PIQ recorded in a nice way. Feature to add in: possibility to share more info than just the 4 proposed. Keep going PIQ team!
