Michael

Great training app. Had rower for years but this is the best use of it with this app

Response from developer

Thank you, glad you like it!

Poor value

Was good and even had one or two free programmes and then it became all subscription. Not something I can afford going forward.

New to rowing

I am new to rowing. In fact, this is only my 5th time to row. I currently own an entry level Sunny rowing machine and the Sunny application just isn’t cutting the mustard.

My brother recommended this application and I am only two days in. It has made me love rowing and I am already looking forward to rowing tomorrow.

I wish I owned the Concept 2 or Aviron now! 🙌🏼🫶🏼

Great App

I’ve only been using the app for a couple of weeks, and it’s really helping to make my rowing workouts more interesting and challenging.

Good to improve your s/m

This app helps you to improve your stroke rate. The colored metronome is awesome. The rest is pretty much useless for me. It does not connect to the C2 logbook, so I have to enter the workouts manually. That’s not a big deal, but even with keeping the rate steady it is not accurate. If you get off your split time because you push harder then the timer on your rower gets ahead. I’m a regularly ahead by 20 seconds although I keep my pace with the metronome. If you have a rower that doesn’t count the meters/stroke/calories for you, then that’s your app. It’s not for me. I will use it for steady rows to improve my rates, but it is useless to me for intervals due to it not being able to sync with my machine. So, not for me, but maybe for someone else.

Thank you for such a detailed review, I really appreciate it. Your feedback is fair and is something I will continue to work on. I am hoping to integrate with Concept2 in the future. Thanks, Nick

Updates are awesome

It’s been several months since I’ve use the app and the updates since I last used it are awesome. The gym I joined just got a rower and this app helps keep me on pace and makes the cardio enjoyable!

Response from developer

Thanks so much! I'm looking to add even more routines soon. Let me know if you have any more feedback at apps@vigour.fitness - thank you! Nick

Like this app..

It’s a great app that helps keep my rowing pace consistent. I like the various training options. I had an issue with my subscription but customer service was quick to respond (same day) & help fix the issue!

Thank you so much for the review, I really appreciate it!

Good app

Update: 5 Stars. They fixed the problem I described below! Thank you! It works great now.

I’m a beginner with a machine. Find this app very useful. One irritant is that when it changes the stroke rate it interrupts the stroke. You’re halfway through the recovery and it jumps to drive. Or it starts the drive stroke over in mid stroke at the new pace. Sure would be nice if it completed a stroke or changed pace at either end in a smooth manner.

Thank you, love the feedback. I understand that could be frustrating, let me see what I can do about that in the new year. Thanks so much for the review!

Excellent information and I also like the warm up and cool down exercises.
