Love that it integrates with Concept 2 logbook. ### 5/5 — Works with Assault Rower *2024-10-30, version 1.2.3* Like the title says, this works well with the Assault Rower. Hit the Bluetooth button and connect to the app. It’s great and well worth the subscription for me. ### 4/5 — Logbook and Rankings *2024-03-28* Although I think this is a fine app. I’m more interested in the Logbook and Rankings than the programmed workouts. I find getting to the logbook and moving through the rank data to compare times difficult due to a poor user interface. Much could be revisited for improvement. ### 5/5 — So helpful (but have a request!) *2023-04-05* This makes it so easy for me to hit my workouts without painstakingly entering intervals directly into the monitor. A feature that’s really needed though - I really need the app to make a noise at the end of intervals when it’s time to rest and again when it’s time to begin the next interval. I’m often selling my soul during a tough interval, so, I’m not staring at the clock and I’ve missed my rests before. ### 5/5 — The best app for the Concept2 Ergs *2023-01-17* ErgZone is the best app that gives comprehensive understandable, reliable and customizable options to help you perform at your best. Not only on the indoor rowing for workouts, classes and private instruction, but for racing and community -- it just can't be beat. The developers are very responsive to feedback and are constantly making improvements to meet the need of the rowing community. The premium features are well worth the extra costs. Great for finding programs and supporting your fitness community! Can’t wait to try the new racing functions Thank you for developing this app! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Please add a beep function *2022-12-15, version 1.1.3* I love this app, but what would really make me love it more is if it would beep at interval changes. Sometimes I’m working so hard I’m head down, eyes closed, so I’m not watching the timer. ### 5/5 — Great app (plz read suggestion) *2022-06-17* This app is really good for creating and tracking my rowing sessions. The only improvement I’d like to see is when you create a new workout and hit the x to close, that you have a confirmation pop up letting you know you would lose unsaved changes. This happens a lot where I set a long distance, and when I add splits, the save button is far down and out of sight, so I click the x and lose it, then have to remake it. Also, if unique names for workouts could be required, that might be helpful. It’s probably very uncommon, but I was showing someone how to use the app and duplicated a workout I just finished, then accidentally deleted the wrong one bc they had the same name, etc. ### 5/5 — Essential app for my Concept2! *2022-05-29* While Concept2’s app is better than nothing, it doesn’t list my split times in real time. ErgZone takes care of this important need and does so much more. 10k rows are my bread and butter, and ErgZone allows me to see my split history (500m or whatever you want) while I row. The ease of entering custom workouts is another huge plus. Heart rate tracking is excellent, to say nothing of a BUNCH of helpful data I can see in real time. It pairs easily with my PM5 and I’ve never experienced a crash. I don’t know what I would do without it! ### 5/5 — Best app for CII there is *2022-04-15, version 1.0* Lots of flexibility, easy to program, and easy to navigate. Highly recommended for use with ANY concept II out there! ### 5/5 — A bit of a game changer *2022-04-14* This app allows me as a trainer to reach a lot more people and develop programs for various needs. The interface is excellent and the support is industry best. I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Love ErgZone! *2022-04-13, version 1.0* I started using ErgZone when the creators of a plan I was following switched to ErgZone. It is so much easier setting up your own intervals and you can use intended stroke rates and pace as well if you wish to. It uploads to the C2 logbook without having to push a button. You can use 3rd party workouts like the C2 WOD and their ranked workouts, the Cross Team Challenge, Rowalong’s free workouts. Many coaches are putting their plans on there as well. Give it a go! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Use ErgData instead *2026-06-17, version 1.2.10* ErgData is far more useful and free ### 1/5 — No synch with Strava or Garmin connect *2026-04-11, version 1.2.10* Heart Monitor invisible ### 1/5 — Waste *2026-03-22, version 1.2.10* Locked every possible feature behind a paywall. Can’t even find out if I like the app before wasting money. Bad move. Immediately deleted ### 1/5 — Switched from free to subscription plan without warning *2026-03-04, version 1.2.10* Liked it just fine for years, until last night when my workout did not sync with trainingpeaks.com. No warning, just lost data. I clearly understand the economics, but some sort of announcement that would have stopped me from wasting lots of time trying to figure out what happened would have been useful. Was five stars until last night. ### 1/5 — Far too expensive *2025-02-16, version 1.2.4* This app is far too expensive for what it does (sync erg data to Strava) and doesn’t offer a lifetime membership. I recommend using an Apple Watch workout function to track your erg data instead, which is free and also syncs to Strava. ### 1/5 — No apple health integration *2022-04-01, version 1.0* No apple health integration makes this a non starter. ErgData may be a bit clunky, but it at least plays nice with other apps. ### 2/5 — Poor Concept2 Integration *2025-04-24, version 1.2.4* Integration with Concept2 ErgData is terrible. Completed workouts while account is connected to ErgData logbook and the workouts don’t appear. ### 2/5 — Not Compatible with WaterRowers *2024-04-02, version 1.2.2* I know Concept 2 is the standard training erg for rowing, but the WaterRower fit better in my tiny row house. Unfortunately, my trainers use ErgZone and it’s not compatible with my WaterRower, even with BlueTooth. Teammates love this app, I just wish it would work with my machine. ### 2/5 — Unimpressed *2022-10-26, version 1.1.2* Tried ErgZone and was not impressed as a replacement for ErgData. I’m not interested in the training support side of the app, just used as a mechanism to upload to my logbook to Strava. It uploaded as expected, the total time was out by 3mins (which is just mad) getting the time correct is kinda essential, then when logbook transferred to Strava it only displayed the exercise distance and didn’t include rest distance. ErgData managed to get the above issues correct. ### 2/5 — Cant figure out how to connect to PM5 *2020-10-28, version 1.0* I dont understand the interface. Cant figure out how to connect to PM5. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — André *2026-03-20, version 1.2.10* J’adore! La connectivité avec Garmin et Strava est parfaite! ### 5/5 — Amazing rowing app *2026-03-10* What’s to say? I’ve been using this app since beta, for 5 years now? 6? The creators are very personable; they keep their own Facebook page and are very communicative and involved with feedback. They are heavily involved in the indoor rowing community as a whole, and it shows through l their hard work and constant attention to detail within the app. ### 5/5 — Worth Every Penny *2026-03-09, version 1.2.10* Simply put, this app makes me a better rower, it gives me valuable feedback that I don’t get on my erg. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-24, version 1.2.9* Love the app and rowing on it!! ### 5/5 — Easy way to program your erg *2025-12-13* I have been using this for several years. Its simple interface and reliable connection to my concept2 erg makes it an indispensable part of my morning workout. It’s filled with loads of metrics, many of which I haven’t used, but its simplicity sets it apart from other apps. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-10, version 1.2.9* I used to hate erging now I love it! It’s helping me with my rowing and strength and stamina. ### 5/5 — ErgZone is the absolute best! *2025-11-28* ErgZone is, without any doubt, the single best erg app ever created. I’ve been using it since shortly after it was released, and the team has continuously made significant improvements across the board. They are also extremely receptive to user feedback, which has been truly awesome. I cannot fathom erging without ErgZone! ### 5/5 — The best *2025-10-15, version 1.2.9* The best fitness app for programming and workouts on the C2 ergs. Solid user for the past 3 years and love how the team keeps making improvements. @luvabullrogue ### 5/5 — Ergzone in the zone *2025-09-22, version 1.2.9* Best erg app in my opinion . Just try and you will know ### 5/5 — The best! *2025-09-04, version 1.2.9* ErgZone is the best App for all concept2 machines!
