New in v4.0: Spray Wall
Version 4.0 introduced an expanded Spray Wall feature. Climbers can create routes on their gym’s training wall or on a Satellite Board, track projects and successful sends, and cast a vote on the setter’s proposed difficulty after they climb it. This fosters local route experimentation and community feedback.
Social and progress tools
Satellite focuses on connecting climbers inside a gym environment. The timeline highlights friends’ progress, while ranks and badges give visible goals to work toward. Circuit mode and the logbook support structured training and long-term improvement, and the app’s likes and comments help maintain a social atmosphere.
