Ratings and Reviews
Good app, but could be much better
I've been using the app for a month or so now (on the water of course). When it works, it's great, but some small tweaks could make it much much better.
Apple watch:
- show current workout stats in always-on mode (like apple's workout app). Currently, on the Apple watch 7, the app shows the current time in the always-on mode. I have to twist my wrist slightly to see the current stats, which messes up my stroke. This point is super important because it really limits the usefulness of the app during rowing.
- the current stroke rate is often not shown. It is recorded though so I can see it later in the log. I can't quite figure out why / reproduce it. About 80% of the time it's not shown.
- add possibility to manually add sections by double tapping the screen (like Apple workout).
General
- sometimes the stroke rate is not recorded. Not sure why.
- add automatic pause feature: when the time between strokes is over a certain threshold (eg, 10 seconds), pause current workout at last stroke. Automatic restart if more than 10 strokes in 1 minute.
A good app
I find it very useful however it does not start the first time on the watch. You have to stop it, and then restart and it will work perfectly. I also find that it is not very accurate. However after some updates these issues may be fixed.
Useful tool to have on Apple Watch
I use this to log my training outings using my Apple Watch, leaving my phone on dry land. Used to use another app on phone which drained the battery rapidly. This is better. Workout records can be accessed on phone back on land.
Plenty of info to keep track of training performance; time, stroke count, stroke rate, heart rate (max, min etc), distance, calories used, weather conditions. Nice little route map as well.
A useful addition could be a ‘distance per stroke’ metric to gauge sculling efficiency.
