Great rowing game like zwift. This is exactly what I was looking for, a fun gamification addition to my rowing workouts. The game has been great and I've had no issues. you pay for access, which is currently in beta but you also get a year once the game is fully released. Exr is also looking to make additional features and improvements along the way. Well worth the price for a great game that encourages me to row more.

I've used this app for a while. Recently it isn't receiving correct data from my water rower. The pace is off by 15-30sec. At first I thought it was my rower or a battery issue. However, every other app seems to work fine. So I'm guessing it's a bug, but not worth using if it doesn't properly connect with my machine. Update: thanks for the response the setting mentioned fixed the issue. I guess I understand the exr split now. I just like when the app to correlate with my machine.

Hi Timothy, What's your speed calculation setting? You can check this in your gameplay options. If it's set to EXR Split, your performance data are weight-based and more accurate. That's why they differ from your WaterRower's. Learn more about EXR Split in this EXR Blog post: https://exrgame.com/blog/exr-split Kind regards, The EXR team

this is a fun app to use and I love the training aspect of it. but lately multiple sessions not saving after a workout. and would be very nice to have a quit app option instead of going to a change user menu that doesn't exit the app. lastly, would love to see a stroke rates in the training plan menu. update after 1.28... unable to save session entirely. app seems to lock up while trying to save indefinitely.
