Leave a Review WATERROWER Connect
Water Rower Connect app
The rower is absolutely fabulous. We bought the blue tooth so we could connect the app to our iPhones. I am blind and the majority of the app works really well for me, with Apple’s Voice Over. Two minor glitches I cannot set the timer myself I need sighted help and there is no audible signal to tell me that the timer has finished. Please just re-program the app to take account of these glitches and my rowing experience would be even greater.Show lessBlind person
Recent update much better
Writing as of 3 days ago this app being updated. Not only is this good that it’s still receiving attention but it now supports heart tracking with Apple Watch. Great.
One minor change I’d like to see. I row a set distance. The app says a distance. The monitor matches. I click end workout and it loses 3-5 metres. Very annoying if you’re doing a round number!Show lessAbcxyz12321
Awful app
This app is terrible. Just bought a water rower vs a concept 2 b/c I thought apps looked slicker. Big mistake!
Equipment is well built by IT is really not worth anything. Paid a lot of $$ for my rower.... would have expected some investment in IT by the company . wanted to buy a local product.
I would NOT recommend.Show lesslemonlikeskitty
Disappointing
I like the idea but it’s just missing so many basic features and basic calculations are wrong. For example, if I set up a 8x 500M intervals with 1:00 rest, shouldn’t the average pace metrics tell me how fast I rowed each of the 8x intervals?
Seems like common sense, however the app calculates the average pace for the intervals PLUS THE REST TIME. I rowed each interval at ~1:45 pace, yet the app says my average pace was 2:51 because it includes the rest periods in the calcs...Show lesscmt014
Just bad!! No tracking
Why did WaterRower build a quality machine and get a crappy app developer? At first I could not connect the Comm module to the app. WaterRower sent me a new Bluetooth comm module and I was able to connect. But still the app is not tracking my rowing output.
They are sending me a new S4 board but I have a feeling it is the app. The S4 monitor has been working perfectly.Show lessdisappinted rower
How to you manually input workouts?
Update notes mention that version 1.7.4 allows users to input their workouts manually without the need of the Bluetooth module. How can this be done?peptidedt
Very sad
Thought I would use the shelter at home requirement to take my rowing to the next interactive level. Spent $60 on a device to use this app. App doesn’t connect and is a waste.
Water Rower is a fine machine, but they don’t have a viable interactive module Can easily see other fine indoor rower manufacturers, who have a tech edge, push Water Rower to the sideline.Show lesstim ry
Yes, Apple health integration please!
Maybe a rudimentary calorie counter? But first off, Apple health integration at the very least.bumblebee303
So basic...sadly (unlike the fab rower itself)
I got the water rower because of all the fab reasons to buy one. Then I thought I’d upgrade to the S4 with blue tooth comma module.
Oh dear. The app is clunky. I always need physically connect my only rower...no auto connection default.
Like the monitoring options of timed, distance and free rowing with a pause but it takes a while to show in history and more importantly at 10 mins long (workouts build from 3 minutes) the grid data still isn’t being useful.)
Overall this app is a clunky basic app. Needs more automaticity :)
And more stats feedback
Update 3 months later - and although I’m improving to 45 minutes 3000km... still no graph of data which is very annoying. But the app shows this is supposed to be a option - if it is then make it clear lower limits!
Always have to confirm connection too.Show lessNicknamestuck
Good, needs ability to sync between devices
Overall works great to track workouts, nothing flashy, but works well. Would be nice if workout history could sync between devices.cbrandty
