Rowing Machine Workouts

Reasonable app with basic functionality and a few small frustrations. Insanely expensive for what it is though.

too expensive

Great app

better than merach and kinomap simple

By far one of the best purchases I have ever made. It is almost addictive. I am just getting back into exercise after several major surgeries and I am unable to do any running so I tried the rower and didn't know what to do until I downloaded this app.

subscription required

I really enjoy it, but I wish I could use it with the screen off. Extra credit would be having a companion app for the pixel watch. Bluetooth connection to a WaterRower S4 BLE was seamless and very useful.

Best Damn Row App Ever

first time rowing to a schedule and I am pumping. very doable. Thank you.

Can't even try a demo without giving them your payment info. Not going to happen.

Useful app, but pricey

so far good. like that I'm able to listen to my own Playlist while rowing and still hold the app sounds on rowing.

neat concept but I kept getting lost on what pace I am supposed to be going, also would be better if rowers could be connected to the app to track, same with hr monitors

Twas a good start.

you cant evwn start the open without having to hand in your card details. there isn't an option to try and check the app before hand. uninstalled.

One of the best rowing apps I found. Bought a lifetime subscription after some consideration. Any chance to get a dark mode option like on your "Start rowing" application?

Been using the app for a few months. I love having a rowing routine and data to track!

needs Bluetooth support to connect with rowing machines for integrated data

no Bluetooth, but don't need it, just create your row and go. visual feedback on stroke rhythm is exactly what I was looking for

Played sport, rugby and football in my younger days but was never a fan of the exercise so finding an exercise that I would enjoy and keep at was always going to be difficult. The purchase of this rowing machine was the best thing I've done and the structured workout of this app has given me the incentive to keep at it and improve my fitness at the age of 60.

Great app, the custom workouts allow me to tailor a row to me and the audio cues and metronome mean I can get into the zone and just listen with an earbud without having to look at my phone. Highly recommend!

said it was free but you can't even try it using the free trial without providing bank card details. standard rule, don't provide back card details for 'free' trial periods.

tried the taster session and it was good to help keep SPM since my rower doesn't have that function. maybe an animation of the catch drive recovery would make it a bit more interesting whilst rowing.

Pricey for what it is but decent

I love how it helpes keep track on strokes and rest. exactly what I needed as a beginner

totally amazing and easy to use. keep up the good work.

it's good for what is needed. don't have the budget for the full price. make sure you cancel before your final free day. I canceled on my last day of the trial, and they charged me anyway WITH NO REFUND OPTION. honestly, that's super shady and should be allowed to cancel on the final day.

Downloaded today, great workout. Does it connect via bluetooth or not. Am I being dim?

I've been using this app for nearly a month now. I like it, it's very simple, no annoying details, easy to choose what to do, it lets me listen to something else while following my strokes.But I noticed a bug,so wanted to let the developer know: On Lose Weight Beginner plan, Week 4, Day 2: When ne section is finished, it jumps to the second next section, e.g. from 1 to 3. I noticed this because there were two voices giving instructions at the same time , like "rest" and "24 spm".Thanks :)

not worth it

we invested in a rower, having never used one before. Looked for apps and found this one. I'm so glad I did. The workouts are helpful, and the metronome is useful for a newb like me.

Love this app. My rowing machine doesn't have a strokes per min counter, so I was struggling a bit with my workouts. After much searching, installing and deleting other apps, I found this one. I've only used the custom workouts, but they're really easy to set up and the display is extremely clear. It makes it so easy to follow. Can't recommend enough to people

brilliant app

Once you work your breathing into your workout, it is a great challenge!

Great app for building custom HIIT sessions. You can make it a real calorie burner!

Easy to use and great options.

Just a money grab

Needs $60 subscription

installed today and used just once but everything is great so far

Really enjoying this app during the trial period. The fat loss program has been fun mixing up different places. The pace metronome is very cool.

it's really good for whatever you want to do. I want to build muscle and it is really helpful 😁

I have been using this app for more than a week. I have already lost some weight. I have also been a bit conscious of what I eat/drink. This app really helps me feel like I can actually reach my weight goal (Eventually LOL) . People lose weight at a different speed. Best of success to everyone on their journey to better themselves!! Great app to get started. (Rowing machine not included) Edit: I finished the my first 4 weeks for beginners. Lost 12 lbs. Will update again.

very good, easy to use and great that you can create your own workout

I love this app!

its good, just do it

the build your own aspect of the workouts really stood out to me, the premade things being paid for sucks a bit but I understand for the upkeep aspect, wpuld be nice if all the days were viewable rather than day one, but that's my only nitpick, great app 👍

8 weeks postpartum and I downloaded the app to start losing baby weight. I finally have some hope! Did week 1 day 1 and I feel great already:) thank you!

I bought a rowing machine to combat middle age weight spread and because I'd been in a really bad car accident that left me with a fused (non-moving) ankle, quite a few back issues, and one leg 1/4" shorter than the other. The rowing machine is low impact & easy to accommodate to my medical issues, comfortably. The only problem ME; I kept gaining weight because owning the rowing machine does not equate in calories used & pounds lost. So I downloaded this rowing workout app, and so far, 👍

easy to follow and use. so far, so good 🙂

A brilliant rowing app, looking forward to using it for a very long time.

Great

easy to use!

This is the first rowing app I've used and I really like it. The layout is great and it is helpful to have a guide to follow.

great app, you just follow along and get a good workout

I have used it for a month or so and have enjoyed the apps design and routines quite a bit. Very doable but still challenging and not repetitive. Would love to have the app sync to Google fit and a louder metronome sound though.

Great app! Love the cadence to keep me on time.

really enjoying this app so far, I was looking for something exactly like this. thanks

Great App. I used it for the first time today. It works great on my phone. Four things I'm wondering about: 1. What about a connection to my Concept2 PM5? 2. What about a connection to a heart rate strap? 3. What about a connection to Google Fit, Samsung Health? 4. What about auto upload to my Concept2 logbook?

awesome and easy to use for beginners

I like it. just getting back into rowing after some health stuff. I like the app. I would like it better if it would connect to my PM5 to share data

Great, easy to follow app. You can customize the exercises according to your fitness level. Great work team!

Makes it simple. Lots of different target options.

It's probably the best app for rowing. I've used Peloton, Echelon and other apps and initially enjoyed the platforms & user interface. However, where this app shines for my training is the ability to create your own guided workouts, which is not an option for the other platforms. My only criticism would be the ability to have access to the other cardio based apps by the creator after purchasing a subscription as the elliptical and spin bike are built on an almost identical platform.

Lots of different work outs can suit to goals and ability. Lots of one off work outs that you can choose based off how you're feeling for the day. This was the best out of all the trials I had.

Exactly what I was looking for. A bit pricey, but I see it as an investment in health, so it's worth it. Wish it would integrate into Fitbit, but ok, I can log my workouts manually so not a big deal.

Please don't ask me to pay first thing when I open the app, before even trying it out. I could consider chipping in if it's good, but that was just agressive.

requires pay plan

Awesome

Not even one free workout? Wow

Want to give an update to by below complaint. After working with the creators and google support team, in less than 24 hours i was able to get the subscription changed. Thank you to both teams. Thank you all. **How do you change subscriptions i want the lifetime not the yearly?????????????? I love the app, except the payments plans all other apps let you change your subscription plans.**

Very well laid out, easy to navigate, and extremely well informed information and workouts

App is completely useless with paying $100 for the subscription. You can't even start or track a workout session unless you've subscribed to premium.

I signed up for subscription, yet everytime I try to do a program it asks me to join and subscribe. I already did this and was CHARGED for it. Why won't it let me do the plan??

I really wanted to like this app. I wanted something simple to track my rowing progress, and this should've been it. Then I saw the price. It IS a simple app (just a metronome with stats really). 60/yr, but the app has 0 integrations with fitness accessories, it crashed on me twice in the first 3 days of using it, but that would've been fine and I would have spent 20 or 30 bucks on it, but 60 a year is absolutely absurd.

Good app

Great app

really helpful app

I gave it a 3 because the app is good, but I want it to be better.

Works fine

This got me started rowing, easy to follow workout

If it's to pay then say so before installing!

This is not a free app. You need to pay and this is not in the app description.

I've been using this app for 4 months, and it's fantastic. I don't even bother with the rowing machines computer now, I love the metronome which helps me focus and build a good rythem. Keep up the good work!

Rowing app helps me stay on track

App doesn't open!

Definitely not for beginners. No how to start. No connection to Concept2. Nothing is free that would attract a begginer. I then opted for a free trial just to use the begginer version. It was not self-explanatory and did not log rowing very well. I cancelled subscription and will move onto a different app that us user-friendly.

+ Nice simple display during rowing routine, easy to follow. Good range of workouts to choose from. Includes warm up and cool down stretching routines. - The initial free period could be one month rather than one week - if you're following a plan then this only covers 2 workouts in the first week. - Some of the stretches/ core exercises are a bit random and could be described better. - Would be good to have a suggested program with daily reminders.

Not for experienced rowers. No instructions for PM setup to match workout. No option to sync workouts to concept2 or strava or other fitness trackers. Workout cadence does not match actual rowing technique. App has 1:1 ratio, when should be 3:1, making it very difficult to follow. Sorry.

Awesome!

Subscribed to the 12 month plan and it wouldn't let me use the premium services.

Simple but effective

Most features need $ which I didn't pay. But as the display has gone on my ergo, really helpful for spm and time x spm type work outs. Like the bar showing where I should be in the stroke and basic HIIT/Tabata options I can set.

Easy to use rowing app! This offers a very convenient way to program your own workout. Smooth running rowing counter! Highly recommend!

I love having set workouts and the developer is very responsive and helpful when you have questions

Not free!

It's a good app

Excellent app

Frist Day on here. So far it's pretty good. Had a great sweat. It would be great if you could Bluetooth your rower or other machines to the app. That would be the best selling point for me. I'll change my review after a week. Thx

I really like the app so far. You have to buy premium to get the goods. That said, it pays off. I get structured workouts, stats, custom workouts, a timer that shows me where I should be in the stroke at all times, and a program to advance through. Just what I was looking for.

Easy to use. Accurate with my water rower.

Good rowing app with a bunch of different exercise options. Only complaint is that it doesn't give a lot of explanation for beginners, even though it has beginner workout options. Otherwise, I enjoy it so far.

None of the exercises are available unless sign up for the premium plan at $59/year.

First time rowing, app is excellent for beginners, easy to follow

Timer helps me learn the pace and the structure gives me much more direction, making my workouts much more efficient.

It literally wouldn't allow me to start even the very first workout without upgrading to premium. Useless.

I'm using this app because the app my rower is supposed to connect to, thinks it's an elliptical machine. This app gives good visual and audio cues for rowing at pre-set speeds. The interface is clean, and easy to read. It also provides cool-down stretches. You have to press buttons to move through the poses, but it does give a visual example and audio cues for time. The only thing I would add to this app is some visual and audio cues for rowing form. Other than that, it's great!

Just starting on a weight loss journey. I think being able to set a timer and stroke rate would be great, but I really am benefiting from the app as is.

Great so far. Different challenging levels and varied workouts

Just started rowing. This app is good and easy to use.

Not enough workouts to justify the cost

Love this app for my rowing machine. Has a lot of various programs & challenges. I love that it gives a timing "click" and visual metronome to follow. Includes optional warm-up, cool down and abs routines! Suggestions: Up the volume a little, add back button for exercise sections, & enlarge the font. Keep updating with new programs. I love their bike, treadmill & this app so much that I want to buy an elliptical machine just so I can have their great apps for all 4 main exercise machines! 😄

Good old bait and switch. Pretty much useless unless you subscribe to their yearly program. If they had daily videos available to watch and follow along with that was instructor led I'd maybe subscribe. But I'm not paying to follow along with a metronome. I can find workouts for free online if I wanted that.

The only rowing app I found that doesn't require any special connection or dongle. Just start and row. Great workout options, worth the money.

I love this app. Clear instructions, easy to follow & great program selection. I am so excited that now I can easily transfer my progress to a new device seamlessly. Also very important is their quality service & support. Anytime I've had questions they are very responsive and have a great attitude and willingness to help. Thank you for being great people❤

Easy app to use. I know I need something to guide my workout and the coaching helps me with my pace, speed, and timing. I also like that you can save your workouts to help monitor your progress.

Never could open the app, crashed every time

Clear voice and visual. Great beginners workout including stretches before workout. Would love to see visuals on correct techniques so we know we are rowing correctly to prevent injuries and maximize the workout. Or if we can follow a coach to mimic them.

Week 1, Day 1.....definitely a great workout!

have you considered adding google chromecast option to this? my rower doesnt really have a place to secure my phone/tablet and being able to cast to my flat screen would be a great solution to this problem. otherwise, great job - i just upgraded to the subscription plan.

I really like this app. The warm up, cool down and every day exercises are really helpful. I like the visual and audible metronome. I like the fact that you row by strokes and not distance (don't have a distance measure on my machine). The calories indicator is a mystery to me! My machine says a totally different number. I like the visuals and colours of the app, too. It does tell me what I assume to mean 'workout complete' at the end in another language. German? Very strange, and quite funny.

Good for someone starting rowing/home workouts but the price seems a little high for the pro version

All of the workouts are locked unless you pay but you don't see that until you download.

Simple design, easy to use, no thinking about it effective way to use your rower. I look forward to more workouts!

Good app, would be nice to see the total time of each workout during the exercise.

Loving it so far. Just started rowing at 51.

It helps me stay under control with my strokes... I'm a beginner. But I really need something that will help me calculate my distance rowed in x amount of time...

Very good app and the premium programs are very good. The free version has extremely basic programs that doesn't really allow to see the app's potential. Luckily it has a trial of the premium service. There is also a minor bug with the audio metronome that randomly goes from normal volume to inaudible, but the visual works great.

This is a very good free app. I might upgrade to premium at some stage. The metronome sound keeps fluctuating between normal sound level to hardly audible. I have made contact with the developer and will monitor it. Overall, it suits my needs. But, I find by watching and keeping my pace in time with the circular graphic, as it moves left to right etc, helps me maintain a more even speed, more so than the metronome. Otherwise I tend to speed up during my workout.

Waste of time. App called rowing machine has one beginners course for rowing and that's it, unless you pay. Other apps have better free content than this.

Easy to follow instructions! Great beginners routine! Looking forward to advancing!

Pretty decent. I got this for the metronome. The workouts are fine, but a little easy, and there's no way to bypass the first few to get to something harder. And I'd like to be able to set my own workout. But since it's free ... I'll take it 😉

This is a really good app and I enjoy using it along side my concept 2. One question I have is is it possible to switch from intermediate exercises to advanced once already signed in ?

I really enjoyed this app. I particularly liked the metronome feature which helps me keep a rhythm while I am rowing.

Good and easy app to use.

I love the visual guide to help keep you on the correct pace, as well as the warm up, core and cool down workouts.

Takes getting use to however, it really is a full body workout. It is now my favorite cardio workout. The rowing machine and weights...you can't go wrong.

So far so good. Keeps me on pace and is super easy to use for beginners!

Friendly, easy to use and love the way it has a set up plan.

Perfect little app for getting started.

I really like this. Helps me no end with general fitness as well as helping me to lose some weight
