  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. 4/5Good rowing app!

    I’ve been using this app for a week, but I’d really like a little more functionality from it. Would be great to record my avg split time after each workout so I can track my progress rather than just meters rowed alone. I’d also like to be able to turn up the volume metronome/countdown person outside of my music. I can hardly hear the announcements over my music, and I can’t hear a metronome at all. Ive been using the visual metronome, which is great, but would be nice to hear it so I don’t have to keep looking down at my phone. Overall, so far I think it’s a great app and I am enjoying the progression of my endurance/weight loss program. I’d just like to record more data in the app, please! Thank you!

  3. 4/5Enjoying So Far

    This doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles, which is fine with me. I am an intermediate rower at best and found myself out of gas and unmotivated with other programs. This one started on the easier side and is letting me build up endurance at a good pace that doesn’t deter me from getting on the rower 5 days a week. The only con so far is the stroke rate changes are a little clunky. I’d prefer to finish a full stroke and then speed up or slow down as needed, not change mid-way and have to start over.

  4. 3/5Not user friendly

    I like so many things about this app. I like the metronome, the workouts are great, and I like how it counts down and tells you what is coming next. My issues are more about being user friendly. You can’t do any workout you want ( like doing a repeat or skipping), and it’s hard to get out of the workout screen. I have used other similar apps and have not had this kind of issues You need to take that in account before purchasing. If these were resolved I would be happy to add a stars.

  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.
