Slick and stylish app which tracks your rowing connecting direct to the machine and HR devices easily. The premium option allows some extra pretty HUDs and access to video based workouts through 3rd parties. My gripe is that although there is some capacity to build custom workouts they are really limited; set time, distance or rate. This is a travesty as it has the best metronome I’ve found but without an option to scale the stroke rate it’s incredibly annoying, having to stop at every step of the ladder/pyramid for example. Makes me question why I paid the extra for the Bluetooth module.
Broken again
p.Irate
Downloaded the iPad app, and now neither the iPhone nor the iPad app connect to the CommModule. Deleted both apps and reinstalled, no luck. Literally before adding this iPad app the iPhone app of WaterRower was working and connected to CommModule. Now nothing on either. Will not connect. Utterly irritating. I only recently restarted the WaterRower premium subscription. I will now cancel again. Useless app. Buyer beware. Either the app Bluetooth connection is broken or CommModule (new device) is broken because of trying to connect the iPad app. Very annoyed. Please contact me or fix this app.
Calorie problems with Hybrid CR monitor
paulgrimshaw
The app reports workout calorie values that are 4-5 times too large. I’m using it with the hybrid water rower which has the CR monitor. The web site says it’s compatible and all other stats are fine. Suspect it’s converting from mechanical to metabolic after the monitor has already done this. A further problem is that it’s forgetting workouts, despite initially exporting them to Apple Health. And no support - neither issue is showing any signs of being addressed.
Buggy syncing
Dylanslewis
The app is pretty good during a workout, but sometimes it fails to recognise I’ve started rowing; what’s weird is the workout will then appear in Apple Health but not the WaterRower app. It also sometimes exports 3 separate workouts to Apple Health, where two of them are just for 0s and then need deleting manually.It also doesn’t export the distance to Apple Health, which would really help to visualise the workout in other apps like Zones. I’ve also turned on Strava sync, but so far nothing is appearing there.Honestly if they’d just export reliably to Apple Health with the distance I’d give it 5 stars.
