SmartRow

Ergometer Innovations B.V.

About this app

The SmartRow App (together with the SmartRow-conversion) will turn your WaterRower into a lab grade ergometer. It will not only show you power, distance, work-per-stroke, calories etc., it will show you each force-curve, heart rate graph and much, much more! It keeps track of your workouts, and even shows you well-known fitness metrics like 'Watts-per-Beat' and 'Watts-per-Kilogram'.

This is the best training tool you can invest in—after hiring a coach, of course!

Ratings and reviews

I have had this app for several years. Most recently, my custom workouts that I took a lot of time to create have all disappeared. The app also doesn't send full workouts to Strava like it used to. If I do a 16 minute HIIT, for example. it only sends a 5 minute workout to Strava and no longer sends power data, or heart rate date along either. This used to all work perfectly, but something has changed recently.

The main reason I bought this was for more accurate metrics, but also the integration with exr. When I first got it there was a bug that caused a huge lag. Not only did they fix the bug, but support was incredibly helpful and kept me informed while they were fixing it. Now the integration works great and I can also use this main app to improvemy performance.

This app sucks. Been using it for 3 months roughly 4 times a week and it syncs inconsistently. Workouts might show up at 2am, if at all. Its fine for tracking in real time (my splits are accurate) but do not expect them to be saved to your profile. Cmon guys.... I now track my efforts on the rower with strava. At least it shows me SOMETHING and end of my workout...
