Ratings and reviews

I wanted to try the app, they want me to subscribe right away with 30-day trial. That is fine, the problem is, I cannot even subscribe 🤣 Subscription fails without giving any reason, nice 😂 EDIT: After subscription was fixed, I took the 30-trial. Second training and the app cannot save my workout to Concept2 logbook. Come on, this is a beta product, not a complete version. Already cancelled subscription and removed the app, do not waste your time till they properly test the app.

Installed and uninstalled after 2 minutes. No ofense but, for starters, your app seems very little polished with no apealing design. I would still give it a try but it happens that everything potencially interesting it has isn't available without a subscription of 9.99 / month. 9.99 for something we don't know that has any advantage? Also: you're trying to get a higher revenue than Training Peaks (or any other well established app/software) with a clearly rookie designed app. Don't have many hopes for you right now. Wish you the best, tough. EDIT: I recieved a confirmation mail informing that first 30 days are free. But the main problem remains: it's super expensive.

**8/28/26 update: good update on the app. I enjoy the new RowForge. Great app.
