Works perfectly with Zwift
I use it to row with my Concept2 on Zwift. No issues.
Works well with rowsandall but lacks apple health connectivity
Overall I am pleased with painsled. But, it is at the cost of losing connectivity to apple health kit. So my workouts are not logged on iphone. It's a shame.
Good but struggled with intervals
The app has a lot of functionality and the detailed csv is great. But when I do intervals it doesn't capture/feed it accurately to concept2 logbook. If that worked then I would subscribe to premium.
Great data - wish more screen options
Pros:
Easy synch to concept 2
Collects a wealth of information
Range of options to export data
Cons:
Minimal options on data screen
Please allow option to show peak force, drive time or drive length on screen as you row. ErgData has that feature (although exports less data)

Access to Zwift
UPDATE- 15 Dec 18 App connection to pm5 keeps dropping out!!! I lose all connection and my race is over by the time it resets the peloton is 30+ sec up the road and no way of catching it!!! Any chance the designers could up date app to work with latest IOS
This App Allows me to access the class world of Zwift on my rower, albeit my aviator is a cyclist I still to blast around some class trails, race and complete some epic training session all based around Watts. Defo worth getting and setting up. Only reason its not a 5* review is i keep having problems syncing the work out to the Concept 2 log book, a little bit frustrating but still an excellent app.

Promising But Needs Work
I decided to try the app based on several positive web reviews and its potential for providing enhanced data to analyze my workouts. I rowed a test session with the app to see if worked as expected . It smoothly connected to my PM5 and recorded the workout without issue. I then tried to sync my workout to the Concept 2 Logbook, and it failed. I tried employing the troubleshooting techniques for this issue but could not resolve it. I sent a support message to the developer on 9/7 and have yet to receive a response. Apps sometimes have bugs and sometimes the problem is user error, but I expect a developer to respond to a support issue in a timely fashion. Three weeks (and counting)is way too long. I wanted this to be the answer to my search for a better rowing app, but right now it is not.

Good concept. Needs work.
I want to like it but every time I use it with zwift it freezes after about 25 minutes of rowing. The app will stop updating my wattage and zwift will show a 0 output. Even when I restart PainSled and it starts to recognize my rowing wattage again, zwift wonβt work until I exit the race Iβm in and re-pair everything.

Bridge to Zwift
Great app for rowers wanting a bridge to the cycling app Zwift! Thumbs up
Great app. Cleanup is a pain
I really liked this app. It differs what it's supposed to. The only thing I find annoying is deleting workouts. You have to individually select each interval one by one, then hit delete, then confirm. Atypical workout might consist of 8-10 sets, so that's 30 or more steps just to delete your data after syncing. There should be an option to select all then delete.

Phenomenal Export for C2
Been waiting for this for years C2 exported to common analysis packages.
Needs some tweaks, but still 5 !
Needs some tweaks, but still 5 !
Fantastic app for Concept2. Just a tiny note...
My activities import into garmin and Strava as Bicycle Rides, not Rowing. It's easy enough to manually change it, but I still hope it gets fixed.
Finally an app to export Concept2 Erg data!
Have been waiting for this capability for years! Good realtime display of row info plus it exports in a TCX file format that can be directly imported into Garmin Connect. Note it imports as a cycling activity to preserve stroke rate as cadence. You can change to a rowing activity but stroke won't be displayed in Garmin Connect (but is stored in case you switch back to cycling activity). Will upgrade to 5 stars and buy the sync upgrade when an automatic Garmin Connect sync is added.
