Case Study: Dawn Patrol improves app stability with Sematext

Dawn Patrol - Customer Case Study

Dawn Patrol, the surf-tracking app for Apple Watch, needed a way to monitor device behavior and app stability during long surf sessions, especially since users are often offline and the app handles heavy front-end operations like heart rate, GPS, motion, and surf-condition tracking. The team chose Sematext for logging to capture anonymous device logs on Apple Watch and help spot issues early without asking users to manually export files.

With Sematext, Dawn Patrol added the logging service through CocoaPods with just a couple of small functions, and logs began flowing to the Sematext portal even while the app was offline and syncing later. Sematext helped the team identify potential issues, fix glitches, and improve stability across different device setups and software versions, making the app easier to maintain and more reliable for users.
