Ratings and reviews

The one and only purpose of this app is to connect to a machine (e.g. rower) and save the data to the logbook. That is the only thing it needs to do and it consistently fails to do that. When I select save and view logbook it instead takes me to the workout select screen and I lose my entire workout. it's worse than useless.

I put off getting this app based on all of the bad ratings but now I wish I had downloaded this sooner. It has worked flawlessly for me with 6 workouts logged so far. I have been rowing for 3 years and recently I have not been enjoying it as much as I used to. When looking to shake things up, I found the workout of the day (WOD) and decided to try it. The app lets you skip all of the manual workout programming and sparks my competitiveness by showing how my performance compares to others.

I really like this app but the inconsistency is problematic. If the monitor powers down or disconnects for any reason, the whole workout session including detailed info is lost, requiring manual logbook entry. Maybe wifi or NFC connection could help and set the erg to force always on when paired? Or you should at least be able to access a specific session on memory to resync the splits instead of manual entry.
