Ratings and reviews

Been using since 2021, improved much over that time and continues to get better. It's a motivator on those long rows, sharing the lake with others helps make a solo sport feel a little more inclusive and the trainings are also great to add variation to my rows. If you row regularly (or want to row more regularly) the app is a great choice and I highly recommend it!

The Zwift of rowing, still adding features and growing. Still working out some kinks/bugs but keeps my rows far more engaging and audio/visually appealing. Pretty steep hardware requirements for what it is. Would get 5 stars if competition mode were online/completed and the engine were better optimized for normal/average tier tablets/phones. I wouldn't care if it ran smoothly but looked like Minecraft rather than crushing resources at 15 fps and crashing.

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.
