App needs maintenance!

Not great for working sailors

App won’t open, tried deleting and reinstalling, opens after reinstall but immediately needs to download more data to work, errors out and force closes again and back to it not opening to begin with. Don’t know how this is supposed to support anyone not on the shore. Would be great if it 1. Didn’t require extra to be downloaded to work and 2. Worked in general. Nice job on the disclaimer before the download portion btw. Too bad this is the officially endorsed app.

Row scoring is WAY off

Be forewarned, the scoring for the row is not even close. This needs fixed BAD.

Row option broken

The scoring for the row cardio option is incorrect and doesn’t match the tables. Someone relying on this may fail the test because the app isn’t pulling correct information.
