I really enjoy using the “Just Row” mode. It took a while and some help from waterrower support, but once I understood how it works I found it very useful. I bought a Polar H10 chest monitor and an S4 bluetooth transmitter for my rower and they work very well with an older iPad. Also figured out how to use the Apple watch version of the app and the iPhone which uses wrist HR tracking and is more convenient but has the downside that the watch does not always transmit the measured heart rate to the iPhone.

This app looks sleek. And when I first set it up it seemed to work nice and easily with my Bluetooth Comm. I connected it to Strava and it uploaded my first two workouts. I also found it connected quickly to my TickrX HRM.However, today it wouldn’t upload my workout to Strava. Then I found that I could add manual activities, but not delete them. And when I looked for a help section or a way to contact app support I haven’t found a thing or a way to contact support.So when the app works it works great. Doesn’t have bells and whistles, but it looks nice and does what it needs to do. However, when it doesn’t work there doesn’t seem to be any way to get any help or support which is very frustrating.

I’m a bit baffled by the redundancy between the S4 and this app. It counts your strokes? That’s what I spent $60 on? I already log my rows manually. The workout record is trapped in the app as far as I can tell. It seems to play nicely with Strava and Apple Health if that’s important to you. You are also blocked from plugging in the cable for “we-row” which apparently has no Bluetooth support. I feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills. WR and hi tech don’t mix.The July 2024 update is abhorrent. The numbers were hard to read while erging, but now with the new font they’re virtually invisible. The new ‘save’ color is completely different. Why? Who’s behind the redesign? It represents major step’s backwards. Criminal even.
Monitor and App connection is not impressive

I own both a C2 RowErg with PM5 and the WaterRower with the Series IV PM with S4 Comms 33. I am less than satisfied with WaterRower, the App and PM. The Rower is nice and has a great sound and feel, the PM is OK. This is the Nth workout the monitor and app have not connected and basically wasted. I feel like I wasted the money updating the PM to the S4 and Bluetooth upgrade. Half the time they won’t connect, and half the time they do it won’t sync my workout. At least if it would save on the PM it could transfer later like the PM5. If you are looking between getting the C2 RowErg or the WaterRower I would recommend the C2 9 out of 10 times. The one time I wouldn’t is if you just want to row and not log data then the WaterRower is fine. Feeling frustrated.
In this version we've fixed some issues with workoud uploads.
