EXR | Row together Virtually 4+

I’ve been using EXR for about a year now and have enjoyed countless sessions. I’ve been rowing on the water for 20 years and this storage is a great addition to me land training.

I screen mirror my device to my smart tv so I have a big view in front of me when rowing and it definitely takes the doldrums out of long slow sessions. Seeing the start and end gates for my intervals when training is so cool too. I used to row on the Charles, so going along the routes and seeing the sights and bridges is a lot of fun and really adds to the experience.

The developers are publishing updates regularly and add new challenge goals every month. I’m hoping they will continue to add more real life locations and also more C2 ranked competitions pieces like 5k/6k and hour rows to the existing competition options.

Thank you for your wonderful rating! We will do our very best to constantly perfect your EXR experience with refreshing routes and other features, so stay tuned!

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!
