Incompatible with SmartRow

I purchased SmartRow and my workouts tracked through Waterrower Connect do not properly save to the cloud, only temporarily to my device. They don’t save to my personal account so aren’t visible across devices, and my workouts no longer sync with Strava. This app used to be reliable, but an update along the way seems to have completely messed up some needed integration details. Devices used: iPhone; iPad.

Terrible App for a Great Machine

This app is useless. If you need to pause your workout, if you pause from the monitor, it does not automatically pause the app, which means you need to hit pause in two different places and end up wasting seconds from your tracked time and incorrectly tracked distance. As far as integration with Apple Health, I’ve had quite a few workouts where in the Waterrower app the distance was logged as 11.25km but in Apple Health it was recorded only as 11km. Don’t know why. I don’t bother with it anymore, too much trouble for zero benefits

Works great as a workout tracker

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.

No Longer Working!

Ever since OS 18.5 it will not open. You get a splash window and that is all. I called and was told this would be looked into and they did not even ask my name or contact information. That was 2 weeks ago and It is not working. Sure, I could try deleting it and reinstalling it, And Loosing all my history….

Bad bug

I paused and after resuming it stopped counting any strokes despite the monitor continuing to.

Just Terrible

I’ve been using the app since 2021 and it just gets worse. There is no way to view the battery level of the S4 Comm, so expect to have it die mid workout. That is if the app doesn’t just crash, which happens every month or two. I always write notes after my workout and the window never scrolls up enough to see it when the keyboard opens up. I tried the premium subscription features so I could do HR zone training, but my phone screen goes to sleep when I try to use them - this does not happen with the normal workout. This is what happens when the developers for an app have never used the product.

Premium classes don’t change

The app seems fine for the basics if you want to see stats on your phone instead of the monitor. I was excited to pay for Premium at $5.99 which offered classes. After a month … they never change. It seems like it’s the same 10 classes unless I’m missing something. I couldn’t find a way to ask Support. Hoping I get a response here but not paying for static content.

App stopped working

I loved the app while it worked. Stopped working after the last update. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling. Still no luck, app just goes black and then disappears without opening up.

Great but no sound

It’s good, but in the scenes there’s no sound. There’s sound in the classes. The scenes are nothing without ambient sound to go with it.

Recent Update

The update that occurred within the past month or so, has slowed the transition between pages significantly. In fact, by minutes. So much so, that I have stopped using it. Just terrible. It was fine prior to that.
