  • Great Idea Lazy Horrible Developers

    This company will block you from the Facebook group if you say anything bad. Silence instead of resolve that is thier method. Obviously you are upset about the facts. Been waiting over a year for support on my Lycan Rower. I used Kinomap on two platforms for hours zero connection issues. With EXR I get cut out and reset every 5-15 minutes. Profile pictures are inverted still a year later. Software costs double what it should. Never resolved beta testing issues. Love the idea but it’s clear they are just greedy for cash and care very little for what they do. I just don’t understand how some little company like Kinomap can support over 50 brands of equipment but EXR cannot even support the few Rowers out there????? Whyyyyy???

  • Great idea, too many conectivity issues to raise the price

    I love the idea and what there is here. But it seems like with every other update I have connectivity issues every 15 minutes. My rower is still not supported even though they say for months they are working on it. I shouldn't have to move everyrthing electronic device away from my desk in order to fix the connectivity issues. Your devs need to spend some time looking into this. Issues with Nintendo Switch or a PS5 controller. Make a list of them and eliminate them from the bluetooth connections inside this app so there is no conflicts. Check out Zwift. I ride for hours without any issues in years. $150 per year is a lot of money to have these issues. I added a new category to Twitch to stream EXR so hopefully others will catch on and the devs will fix these little issues. I get it... fixing these kinds of issues is no fun at all but it need to be done before you come out of beta and charge people. If I had a free membership I might feel differently about helping you troubleshoot all the issues I have. Even with AppleTV I had issues. My Macbook Pro, no problems. Now on my new Mac Mini M2 Pro... more issues.

    Hi Jonathan, We're sorry that you're experiencing issues with your setup and understand how frustrating this is. As mentioned in our email exchange, your rowing machine brand has been unresponsive regarding our partnership proposal which is why your model isn't supported yet. However, we're still pursuing a partnership as we aim to support your erg and therefore deliver a great training experience. Kind regards, The EXR team
  • Effective motivator

    The last three years of my log book is rows of 3-6k. Since trying EXR the shortest was an 8k interval set and my other rows are all 11-15k. It’s certainly done its job so far.

    Hi there, Thanks so much for your 5-star review! That's an impressive improvement — keep it up! Kind regards, The EXR Team
  • Can’t find concept 2 anymore after update

    After the most recent update, it cannot find my concept 2 rower anymore, making the app useless.
    Worked perfect before, so wth did they change it.

  • Impossible to get an account

    When setting up the account you are redirected to the email to confirm your email- this is normal procedure. But then you are redirected back to their website and when you try to finish setting up the account, they tell you that your email is being used or that you don’t have an account. I can’t figure this out! Seeing this makes me worry about being put on the endless loop if there is a problem with payment.

    Developer Response

    Hi there, This usually happens when trying to use an expired confirmation email since only the most recent one has a valid link to confirm your account. Please request a new confirmation email and use its link to proceed. Alternatively, you can send us an email to support@exrgame.com and we'll directly send you an active confirmation link. Kind regards, The EXR Team
  • Good app could use more maps

    Good app that keeps me interested in rowing. I would like to see more maps and the competition mode maybe more of a community aspect.

    Developer Response

    Hi there, Thanks for your review! A new map and the competition mode are in the making. We plan on adding more features to indeed improve the community aspect. In the meantime, feel free to join EXR on Discord to meet new rowers and join group rowing sessions: https://discord.gg/QuNPgtCNuc Kind regards, The EXR team
  • Not an iOS app

    I tried this when it first came out and it crashed constantly. This latest version is no better. Developers blamed hardware. I can run Zwift and many immersive games on full graphics detail just fine. The reality is, it’s a poorly written app that is not optimized and likely not even a native iOS / iPad OS app. Most likely they use some porting framework and the results are that it doesn’t work on a very large portion of still currently supported iPads. If you can run iPad OS version 16.3 then you should be able to run this app. That’s how the Apple ecosystem works. I really want to use it, but I’m not discarding a perfectly fine iPad just to be able to run this app. Like I said, if you want to be Zwift for rowers, then you should support the same hardware.

    Hi there, We are sorry that EXR crashes. Perhaps you can run EXR on another one of your devices: https://exrgame.com/support/compatible-hardware. Kind regards, The EXR team
  • Awesome App!!!

    The application is fantastic and well worth the subscription. Because of this app, I’ve rowed more consistently than I ever had previously because of the daily, weekly and monthly challenges.

    The API integration with C2s logbook is on point. In fact I’ve been able to complete both December challenges for EXR and C2 and set a total distance PR of 150k meters.

    The credit goes to the interactive maps/courses which keeps me engaged for long rows. The weather effects and time of day provide good variation. Add in other users boats, ghost boats and your own PR ghost boat, this app meets the mark to push yourself just a little more.

    Why I didn’t give it 5 stars … the app is spot on, however; the lack of integration with Apple’s Health or Fitness apps is disappointing . Apple underestimates rowing and it would be great for EXR to push and write data to the iOS apps. I have learned to add the data record to the Health app to account for calories difference between Apple and EXR.

    Developer Response

    Hi there, Thanks for your detailed feedback! We're happy to hear that EXR helped you break your PR — congratulations! On a side note: We plan on looking into featuring Apple Health and Apple watches at a later point. Once we have news on these things, we'll let you know via our social media and the newsletter. Kind regards, The EXR team
