I row in a single. I think the program does a great job at gathering data. The problem is logging. I've used it pretty consistently for the last few months 2-4 times per week. It has only put 4 into the logbook. I can't figure out what I'm doing differently. I've also had some struggles with downloading to Google Drive. That does work most of the time.

I have been using this app while single sculling for the past three years on a close to daily basis. It is accurate, stable and with a user friendly UI... everything you could want when rowing on water . Also, on the one occasion there was a minor issue with the heat rate monitor following an update, I contacted the developer, who immediately responded and provided a fix. As a rower and also software professional, I highly recommend!

Solid choice. I've been using this instead of a SpeedCoach for a year now in my single. For the most part it gives me the data I want to see. I'd love to see distance per stroke which I don't see this app currently doing. Also it it's frustrating to have to exit the app and then come back in to upload to Strava. I'm not sure I have any reason to move to another app, but I'd love to see these and other UI simplification improvements.

Great alternative to ErgData if you have an older PM (3 or 4) unit. One star off because setup is pretty kludgy, and because reported calories in a per workout are way off (like it'll show 700 calories/hour, but then my 30 min workout will show 1 calorie). This worked fine with ErgData (but everything else was broken. Win some, lose some).

sadly, peripherals stopped working, no connection to HR and PM5. Also UI gets scrambled when rotating the phone. I tried from S22 up to S24 and OnePlus, same results. A14 and higher.
