About this app

UPGRADE YOUR ROWING MACHINE WITH A SMARTROW POWER METER
Looking for an all-in-one rowing app, a power meter with highly accurate performance data or a better way to improve your indoor rowing technique? SmartRow upgrades the rowing machine you already own with precise measurements, detailed stroke analysis and smarter training.
The SmartRow app works with all SmartRow power meters to turn compatible rowing machines into complete performance training systems. Connect a SmartRow Power Handle or SmartRow Power Pulley and train with real power measurement, stroke analysis, Force Curve feedback, structured workouts, video workouts, challenges and progress tracking.
A standard rowing app can only show the data it receives. SmartRow adds the missing measurement technology by measuring your rowing power directly throughout every stroke. This makes every session more measurable, more motivating and easier to improve, without the need for expensive subscriptions.

WHY USE A SMARTROW POWER METER?
If you want to improve, you need feedback you can trust. SmartRow makes progress visible with power, pace, stroke rate, personal records, workout history, challenges, rankings and races. Set goals, compare sessions, race against yourself or others and stay motivated with every improvement.

MASTER YOUR ROWING TECHNIQUE WITH THE FORCE CURVE
Power is only part of the story. How you produce that power determines your efficiency, consistency and progress.
The SmartRow Force Curve visualizes the force you apply throughout every stroke, helping you spot changes in timing, posture, power build-up and stroke consistency.
Use it to identify technical weaknesses, build a smoother stroke and recognize when fatigue starts to affect your technique. By making these changes visible, the Force Curve helps you row with more control and reduce unnecessary strain on your body.

COMPATIBLE WITH 60+ ROWING MACHINE BRANDS
SmartRow power meters are compatible with more than 60 rowing machine brands, making it possible to upgrade many existing air, water and magnetic rowing machines.
Supported brands include Concept2, WaterRower, RP3, MERACH, FluidRower, Tunturi, First Degree Fitness, Rogue, Assault Fitness and many more.
Compatibility depends on the rowing machine brand, model and the SmartRow product used.

WORKOUTS, VIDEO AND RACING
The SmartRow app includes more than 50 structured workouts, guided video workouts, live and on-demand rowing, challenges, rankings, races against yourself and other SmartRow users, workout history and personal records.
Whether you train for fitness, performance or better technique, SmartRow gives you the tools to stay motivated and improve every stroke.

YOUR DATA, STROKE BY STROKE
The SmartRow Portal gives you full access to your rowing data, from complete workout summaries to detailed measurements for every individual stroke.
Download your workout files in multiple formats to import them into other sports apps, analyse them in spreadsheets, or explore your performance in greater depth with your AI tools.
Compare sessions over time and discover how your power, consistency and technique develop with every workout.

CONNECT AND CONTROL
The SmartRow Power Handle features Dual Bluetooth, allowing you to use the SmartRow app while simultaneously connecting to compatible rowing and fitness apps such as EXR, MyWhoosh, Kinomap, Peloton, Zwift, ErgZone and many more. Integrated control buttons on the SmartRow Power Handle let you operate compatible apps, connected devices and multimedia without interrupting your workout. Share supported workouts with Strava and stay connected across your favourite training platforms, apps and devices, with all your rowing data available in the right place.

Ratings and reviews

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.

I have had this app for several years. SmartRow is a huge improvement over the standard Water Rower computer and display. You can create custom workouts, monitor power output and interface with Strava as well. The development team is also very responsive with improvements and functionality. Highly recommend the upgrade if you have a Water Rower.

the update has ruined the app. 1. data no longer sends to Strava full workout. only a small fraction of data is sent. 2. interval workouts are now not very good. no colour markers to indicate when to push hard. less workouts available. old work outs were brilliant, and they now have gone. everything is just a drab grey /blue. no visual induction when to push when you are rowing. uninspiring. fix the Strava data upload, bring back old workout options and interface.

What’s new

• Redesigned the video workout list for phones, landscape and tablets.
• Interval workouts now have a scrollable step list that returns to the active step, plus an estimated finish time (ETA).
• Average /500 m pace now shows tenths of a second.
• Added continuous home-page swiping and a full-screen Force Curve on tablets.
• Improved workout input limits, SmartRow connection guidance and Android 16 support.
• Various layout and stability fixes.
