I have been a member of this app since 2019 and recently they changed the payment platform. I called in and provided my information for billing. Now that the app has been updated the price has increased and after emailing and being ghosted by their employee I no longer have access to the app at my previous rate. Very disappointed.

This app doesn't work correctly way too often. I have been experiencing one problem after another, going back and forth with their technical service staff for years. I spend way too much time troubleshooting errors when I'm supposed to be working out.

Great classes, unfortunately they've stopped loading on my phone. I've worked with very responsive folks at City Row to no avail. I have a pixel 7 and my connection allows me to stream Netflix, etc. Not sure what the incompatibly is.

The classes are great, but the app has issues, when rowing to a time I am always 3 seconds behind the instructor, even if I start just before, this is really irritating if the stroke rate changes at timed intervals. The classes ask you to refer to previous efforts but they are not accessible or displayed on the screen or in the stats when you complete. App doesn’t work well on a Fire HD. The sub process is poor if you live outside the US . Finally, I would LOVE workouts to be posted to Strava.

Great home workout app, but it could use a couple minor tweaks. First, I wish we could add comments to workouts (just for ourselves) so I could remember them in the future. I have 50+ favorites at this point, and there's no way I can remember which was which. Second, for whatever reason, when the workout starts, it flips the display on my tablet upside down. Just an annoyance, but felt like I should post it on here since it seems like their wonderful support team reads these.

There are too many higher-star reviews, so I'm 1-starring an app that should be 3 stars. If there isn't an ability to stream/cast the workout videos on this app then there's no point in the app at all. Streaming your phone's entire screen as a method for casting the app is not acceptable because it eats up battery life, and 21:9 casted phone screens are going to waste a lot of screen space on a 16:9 TV (every TV that's out there). The content on the app is literally just a bunch of videos as well. Nothing YouTube can't already provide, and nothing I can't get on my own through other means. There's simply no way the monthly or yearly subscription justifies the cost of what they're offering.

I really liked the concept of this app but couldn't get it to connect to my PM5. I followed all the troubleshooting tips but the app and rower remained on non-speaks. eta I tried with oppo phone, lenovo tablet, samsung tablet. There are other apps which connect to the PM5 without difficulty.

I don't live close to the physical locations anymore, so combining this with my local gym rowers makes for a good substitute. The trainers are great at explaining the workouts and connecting with the rowers. The scalability is much appreciated as sometimes I really want to work and other times I need to scale it back a little. My biggest gripe (and reason for a 4*) is the music. It's a static stream and when working through a big effort I'd like to be able to pick my own type of music.

App freezes multiple times during a class and it's impossible to resume where you were. I'm a decent rower but instructors are rowing very very fast intervals and not leaving enough time for the normal rower to complete the set

Classes are decent but can't give more than two stars as it won't connect with the latest waterrower Bluetooth connected tech (smartrow) only the legacy S4 with bluetooth and email from their support says no plans to support this in the future which means for the price point (you really need to bring this down to £20 a month max in light of the apple fit+ and peleton pricings) I will not continue after my trial. Shame as the classes are decent. Going to explore other providers.

Enjoyed the workout, then the app lost it. Got some kind of error that I couldn't make sense of and the only thing I could do to move on was to discard the exercise as though I had done nothing. It gave me an error that some value needed to be above some ridiculous number. I did a beginner strength and core routine and was connected to my Concept PM5, until it quit. Now, it looks like I've done nothing.

I love city row! But as of the new year the app is adding meters to my rows (it adds 100 meters once I've rowed 100; and adds 1000 meters once I've rowed 1000) and then it won't log the workouts. I get an error message about having a wrong value. Since I'm hoping this gets fixed, I'm still giving city row 5 stars because it got me moving again in 2020!!

I started rowing this year because my herniated disc and sciatica no longer let me run. Rowing is a far superior total-body workout. I have had no low back or sciatica issues since starting rowing. I have completed more than 50 workouts. I love it. The biggest strength is the trainers - they are all top notch now and commit to working hard with you. They bring personality and positive energy. I always look forward to the new round of classes as they are released, but often go back to classes I've done before. There is increasing variety to the classes and really, you can only do so much with a rower but they are making some interesting and challenging workouts. The app generally works well. Sometimes it loses connection to the comms unit but this is relatively rare and 'rebooting' everything usually works. There is some lag between the comms unit and the app for logging metres but that's probably not an issue with the app.

I love it! The instructors are great it adds the variety you need. The focus is on correct form, you get out what you put in. This can be used alone with any rower but is best either with a city row machine or waterrower with commodule.

Just finished my 5th workout. If you love towing but like variety, this is great! I love the fact that I can cast to my TV. The instructors are top notch. The app could be more user friendly: 1) having a few recommended "schedules" would be a great way to get new users started 2) being able to search for specific workouts. Ex: I see there is a "sweat into spring week 2" but can't find any other weeks using filters! 3) allow "other monitor" users to still log "just row" meters and split times

This app is a great way to exercise using your rowing machine. Full access requires a minthly subscription but this offers a large variety of classes at different levels and with time options... with or without weights, yoga, intervals, endurance. The one limitation is that there is no way to manually enter data for classes. If your machine does not have a listed/compatible computer module your "just row" sessions (even those City Row live stream classes) are not captured in your tracking.

I have downloaded the app and attempted to subscribe numerous times through the website to no avail. When completing checkout, the purchase processing hangs and does not progress. When logging in to the app, it tells me to subscribe. When logging in to web, it tells me there is a problem with my account and to contact support. Support deletes my account and asks me to try again, with the same issues then occurring. Very very slow responses via customer support, no phone number or live chat options. Tried subscribing by selecting app + commodule bundle, subscription failed but purchase successful for commodule. I really want to like this system, but haven't been able to due to issues with the whole signup process. Will happily update review once issues have been fixed.

I already owned a Waterrower but was looking for an engaging way to create new workouts. Found CityRow Go when I bought the Commodule for the WR. This has been great. My wife and I love the workouts and appreciate that they have some classes more focused on rowing, others on weights/bodyweight exercises +rowing, and the Yoga and Kinistretch was a fun surprise. I really like this so far.

Exceptional!!! Fantastic workout. Wide variety. Professional and knowledgeable instructors. Very fun as well. I've done Peloton at home and Insanity, P90x, and a wealth of other at home workouts. This workout is one of the smartest and most effective you can do. Love the rower because my knees are sensitive and there's so little impact compared to most other workouts. The rower is sleek and mobile. Unlike that clunky Peloton bike. Get the CITYROW GO app!

Terrible app and experience. Trying to cancel subscription and the steps on their outdated FAQ page don't work. No phone number to contact them. Chromecast never worked. IOS version would lag and buffer. If you want to row, this isn't the app for you, if you like short burst of row, weights, yoga all combined in a mishmash then it might be for you. Now just hoping that I can cancel before the next billing cycle.

Been using it almost daily for three weeks and love it! There are many different classes, some emphasizing rowing, others more strength and even some yoga. Awesome variety, and a wide range of instructors. This is the best thing other than going to an actual rowing studio. I've used the app both with a waterrower and a concept2, and it works great with either. The default setting for the background music is too loud, but its easily adjusted with the sliders within the app. Highly recommended!

The IOS app does not work with the latest bluetooth Com module on my Ipad running IOS 9.3.5. The android app works with my Samsung S8, but the screen is so tiny, and for some reason Cast can not locate any devices. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, made sure all permissions granted. Youtube, netflix etc find all my Chromecast devices. Lots of bugs need to be worked out for both platforms.

So far not good. I want to like this app. But it's not compatible with the monitor on my waterrower, can't watch it on the television, or laptop so I'm forced to try to row with my face down to stare at a small phone. User interface friendless therefore gets two thumbs down. I did a routine to get back into working out. The instructor seemed okay but I couldn't hear her because the music in the background was way too loud. So far for a couple hundred bucks this doesn't make the cut.
