EXR | Row together Virtually 4+

EXR has turned into my go to training app. No, you don’t get the hyper fine tuned data you get from ErgZone, but you do get plenty of feedback for effective training and the environment looks amazing on a large display TV or 32” monitor. I used to use Metrownome for SPM pacing, but now EXR has the icon to set your SPM with the workout. This might not be for super serious competitive rowers but it’s more than enough for the person looking to maintain or improve fitness. I will say there’s a lot of info on an iPhone display but it’s ok and I’d rather have too much than not enough. If you want more data then set your pm5 monitor to see what you need to. Good job, I’ll keep the subscription going.

Hi Joe, Thanks a lot for your great feedback! Kind regards, The EXR Team

I've been with the app for a few years now and it has gotten more mature and less buggy. Addition of ghosts and making other rowers visible on the same course was a major upgrade. 3D printing an iPad holder to mount to my rower made the experience even better. Still not totally immersive, but part of that is because my ipad is relatively small. Could be made even better if more split info was added and more notifications were made of milestones or speed improvements compared to previous times rowing the same workout.

Even my kids want to row now seeing the game play aspect of this.

Hi there, thank you for your fantastic review! It's great to hear that the kids developed an interest in rowing thanks to EXR! With every monthly update, we aim to make your virtual indoor rowing experience even better. Keep it up!

Preface: I hate working out indoor. Treadmills, bikes, rowers all bore me to tears. Watching shows I zone out and have bad workouts. Zwift is the answer for biking, and I've been looking for a 'Zwift for rowing' app for a while.

Well, this is it. Early versions crashed on me, but this things is stable now and very fun and enjoyable. Wish there was more social aspect like Zwift, but I do see other rowers occaisionally. The FTP based workouts, metronome, and gamification is well done. Totally worth it if you want to row, want good workouts based on your fitness level, and like something to keep you engaged an on task.

Hi there,

Thanks for your amazing 5-star review! We're working on making EXR more social. In the meantime, don't miss out on the next group rowing events to train with the EXR Community: https://exrgame.com/events
