Ratings and reviews

Excellent rowing app, intuitive, easy to use, clear display, very customizable. I don't understand some of the negative reviews unless there were bugs in early versions. Great to be able to display heart rate on screen, see my track on satellite image afterwards, graphs of race pieces, etc. Data can be exported in csv format if you need more detail.

I set up 6 phones with CrewNerd for less than the cost of one NK! Once our juniors have progressed beyond the basics we use CrewNerd to help them work out the relationship between the basics of stroke rate and split time. We soon see less rushing up the slide, longer strokes and the ultimate aim of faster boat speed. It is invavluable during races, encouraging the crew to stick to the plan and stay on the split as much as they can. Highly reccomended !

I tried several apps for rowing training, but Crewnerd is by far the best. Frequent updates. Innovative features (head-up display-like support !). Connection to external accessories (heart rate bands, etc). Tracking. Too many features to write in a review. Support is super-responsive. It's totally worth the cost. Look no further, forget all the rest, you won't regret those few bucks and you will not go back.

What’s new

Added support for the new custom courses library at rownative.icu. To use this, you must be signed in to intervals.icu, and allow CrewNerd to use your intervals.icu credentials for rownative.icu (see the intervals.icu settings page).
