Get idea in theory, but let down by poor Strava and Apple Watch/Health integration
I’ve just shelled out £100 on water rower blue tooth module and tablet arm in the hope that when combined with this App, I would be able to track my rows on Strava and do away with the need for a chest heart rate monitor as I have an Apple Watch. Turns out that this app does not pick up Apple Watch Heart rate or sync ton your Apple Health data and after several attempts can’t get the Strava integration to work either. Top off with no online manual, FAQs or help. Come on Water Rower you can do better than this!

App does not connect to Apple health
Disappointed this app does not communicate with apple health, which was the whole reason I purchased the ComModule, so that I could track my rowing along with my weight training.
Connects easy
For what it is, it’s not bad at all. Once you order and plug in the Com Module from WaterRower, it connects easily to the iPhone app via Bluetooth. The only addition data point it provides is stroke count for your workout.
The only thing it really does is store your workouts by date which is more the the S4 on the WaterRower can do on it’s own, and so for free, that’s worth 3 stars for sure.
If the developers could prioritize the necessary enhancement of coordination with the Apple Health app they’d have winner. For the vast majority of folks who can afford a WaterRower in their home or apartment, this is really all anyone wants. Let people connect two devices they really love and let them feel good about that. That would get four stars.

Needs more
Would like to see more features added. Needs to be able to program a workout. Not really beneficial if the monitor does more than the app, and the app needs a $60 Bluetooth adapter to work.
Waste of money and time
The water rower requires a $60 add on to do what other rowers do for far less money and still cannot get anything even limited functions to work with this app. Save your money, no idea why this app or Bluetooth interface were released, second rate product enhancement.
Very limited
This app does little except track your current row and your lifetime rows with the app. There’s no option to export. It’s not integrated with Apple Watch or any other apps. Let’s hope this is a stop along the way to more integration. What was this supposed to accomplish?
