  1. 5/5Developer is Awesome

    I first left a 3star review detailing the missing features that would make this app worthwhile. Within a few weeks, the dev had actually listened and incorporate a free-row and a custom workout module where you can design your own. It’s truly incredible that the dev actually takes user feedback into consideration and also incorporates it so quickly. The app is perfect now and is honestly worth every penny.

  2. 3/5Annoying app

    The workouts are great and enjoyed but it’s more than mildly annoying that the screen keeps shutting off mid-workout and the time doesn’t keep going. I have changed all my settings on my iPhone including auto-shutoff = never and the app itself has no settings to keep the screen on so my workouts are constantly interrupted. If they don’t fix this by the time my subscription ends (possibly sooner) I will definitely be switching apps.

  3. 5/5Just do it!

    Sometimes all the frills just get in the way. If you’ve rowed with other apps, the learning curve for this app is next to zilch. Distractions are minimized and the metrics are on point and to the point. The stoke ark is both functional and unobtrusive. I use it to adjust my rhythm to exactly match the segment’s stroke count. This is all you need. So do it!

  4. 4/5Concept is good but measurements off

    I just did the first row in the beginner (on Concept 2). I am not a beginner rower but it’s been a long time. The program calls for 5 x 1 minute at 20 spm (with 1 minute breaks) and concludes that I should have completed 2500 meters. I sat at 25 spm and did 1341 meters. Even full on, I can barely get 10m per stroke. 20spm x 5 minutes = 100 strikes. That would mean 25m per stroke! For a beginner - not possible, certainly not on a Concept 2 set at 4. However, love the concept.

  5. 5/5Best rowing app out there

    I really love this app! The different rowing plans/programs seem to be quite effective. I do worry slightly over time that I’ll outgrow some of the plans, but hopefully new plans will continue to be added over time. So while I have “start rowing”, I want to “keep rowing” ;) A few recommendations: - it would be awesome to be able to row freely with just the metronome and adjust the spm as you row - I’d love a Level 2 zone heart rate program or even be able to bring the heart rate reading from the watch or other hr monitors into view when rowing. - in some of the sessions, there is a break as the final portion of the days activity, those can probably be removed since the rowing portion is completed. Keep up the great work!

    I've improved the metronome so that the SPM (Strokes per minute) no longer changes mid-stroke. Instead, it will wait until a new drive has begun to change speed. This should make your training much smoother and more consistent.
