User reviews

As a beginner, I liked the help with pacing and getting an idea of ways to warm up and exercise on the rower. I would think this app could be enhanced by including some instructional videos on form and also some options to row on a virtual river.

I've only been using the app a few days and I like it so far. I work up a good sweat. I do wish it told you where the tension on your machine should be. I know all machines are different but a guide would be beneficial. I love that the sol helps you keep a rhythm. Without the app if start it to hard and couldn't finish.

Great idea, but not worth subscribing to yet. I gotta appreciate a solo developer, so here's my two main pieces of feedback: - There's no settings or place to adjust the experience. At the very least I was looking for a way to choose what audio played during a workout - sometimes there was a metronome tick between rows, but it wasn't consistent. - The beginner plan talks about helping use proper technique, but there's no info. They don't even explain "recover" vs "catch" in the display.
