### 1/5 — Terrible connectivity and saving issues

*2024-05-25*

I had this app with cable connection which was intermittent connectivity but now I’ve updated to a PM5 on the concept 2 my workouts don’t save anymore and can’t even login anymore after reloading app. Paid the subscription but zero support. Now looking for another rowing app !!!!

### 2/5 — Connects to PM5 and saves nothing

*2024-02-13*

I can complete a workout and while I’m rowing the app works well.  Save and quit just presents a spinning circle which eventually times out and offers quit or cancel.  Doesn’t save nor update any connected app.  Bummer for tracking.  Will try to find something else.

### 1/5 — Won’t save workouts

*2024-01-16*

“Error.  Workout was not saved due to connectivity issues.”

Even when phone is connected to wifi and tested before and after the workout.

### 2/5 — Terrible reliability

*2023-10-29*

This app is software gore. It constantly freezes requiring a hard restart. When trying to create a new account it froze then said that username was taken (because I’d just registered) - couldn’t log in until closing then reopening the app. When you row it gets stuck in landscape mode and won’t revert back even when you’re done. When you finish a row half the time it freezes and doesn’t save your workout then crashes, losing it. The UI is obtuse and unintuitive. Needs significant revisions - will give it a month or so but if no improvement will cancel premium subscription.

### 2/5 — Could be great

*2023-05-28*

This has the makings of a great rowing app, but it falls flat on its face with glitches. 
I have to re-pair it with Strava before every single row, or it won’t upload at the end of the workout. Also it’s not uncommon for the app to not recognize the start of a row and have to be closed out and rebooted before it will work. 
The only reason I gave it two stars is that the graphics and information displayed are nice, although I’m sure diehard rowers would probably want more I depth live data

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2023-02-05*

It doesn’t sync with other applications in the way it should and doesn’t record workouts properly, so all in all pretty frustrating.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother if you’re using Strava

*2023-01-30*

If you’re looking to connect and record workouts to Strava - don’t bother - even though it indicates that it is connected it simply doesn’t upload - better off adding your exercises in manually

### 2/5 — Developers seem to be nonexistent

*2022-11-04, version 1.5.1*

I’ve been using the app for a month now. The workouts are fine, graphics are better than most but it won’t hook up to Strava as advertised. It seems like the developers no longer exist to support their product. The don’t respond to emails and are unresponsive on their social media page. Glad I didn’t bother with the paid version.

### 1/5 — Do not download or by. Abandoned.

*2022-11-03, version 1.5.1*

This app has not been updated since 2019, three years from the day I’m writing this review. Do not download and do not buy anything in this app. It has been a Bandan and is not maintain and has plenty of bugs. It used to be a fantastic app

### 1/5 — Bug-ridden and poorly designed

*2022-05-21*

I love my Concept2 but the app is terrible. Clunky, badly thought out UI and also really buggy.
