Biggest wish would be for them to update classes more frequently (based on the price of the app). ### 4/5 — Live Classes *2023-02-18, version 4.8.6* Would be much more exciting if there was interaction from the Leaderboard in Live classes vs pre-recordings ### 5/5 — Change Made *2022-05-19, version 4.4.0* This app has changed me for the better. ### 5/5 — It’s a keeper *2022-05-13, version 4.4.0* Honestly, I don’t care for anyone who left less than perfect reviews. This app rocks! And you are not stuck with it at home or on one type of the rower. I take this app with me all over the world when I travel and use it at the gyms as well as at home. Convenience is key. And it keeps u motivated and engaged. I don’t think I could row even 2 mins without the instructions from the regatta trainers - it’s just so boring to do it alone… here, I am part of something bigger and I show up! Best yet - I sweat and I improve and I enjoy the process…. And form is definitely a priority too. Super happy with finding this app. It’s a keeper! ### 2/5 — Disappointing but with so much potential! *2022-02-20, version 4.1.9* This app has fantastic potential to rival the likes of asensei and Hydrow. But the app interface is dreadful! It’s very clumsy and poorly laid out. It’s also terribly formatted for an iPhone. You also can’t listen to Spotify whilst you exercise, you have too choose between their own music (which is rubbish) and Apple Music. Please develop this app properly and you’ll get so many more customers. ### 2/5 — Classes good, but app is poor *2022-01-29, version 4.1.5* The intro rowing classes have been really good, but the app itself is one of the worst I’ve used on iOS. Pressing buttons in video has huge lag, which can lead to double-presses, and inability to rewind video if you missed some instruction/segment or want to repeat some segment is really terrible. Feels like a video player from the early internet dial-up days! ### 3/5 — Love class and on demand problems. *2021-11-15, version 3.9.7* When I click the live class button, it says they will be available shortly. No other information as to how long from now. Also I got into a 20 minute on-demand class butThe to 30 minute classes I tried to load will get to a certain point and stop loading.It seemed to get stuck at a certain point. The message was warming up. ### 5/5 — Excellent for rowing *2021-09-28, version 3.9.7* I have been using this app for some time with a Concept 2 rowing machine. The classes are excellent with just the right amount of motivation from the instructors and information about one’s performance. I’ve not had any problems with the app itself either. ### 2/5 — Promising but full of bugs *2021-08-08, version 3.9.6* The idea of the app is great, but it’s so full of bugs and lag that it’s frustrating just trying to use it. Hopefully it will improve. ### 5/5 — Great coaching with nice variety *2021-05-29, version 3.8.0* I’ve used this app quite a lot over the past year. Now that Regatta is adding new classes on a regular basis, there’s always something new to try. I love using my Concept2 rower, but it’s good to have other types of classes to mix in for variety and to avoid injury. I also appreciate that Regatta is a small business, and that their classes are not overly-produced or super flashy. Simple and down to business - it’s how I like it. As for improvements, I’d prefer to do away with the “ratings” screen at the end of every class. The more feedback you’re forced to give, the less meaningful it becomes. And I would love to see a lot more yoga classes! ### 5/5 — Excellent Rowing Experience *2021-03-29, version 3.2* Really enjoying this app. Started taking a series beginner rowing classes to work on my form and it has been incredible. The instructors are all really good and the app is pretty easy to navigate. Search function is very good and Strava integration is a major plus. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a comparable rower. ### 2/5 — Advertises WaterRower but does not connect *2021-02-13, version 3.2* I can’t connect to WaterRower and also the app doesn’t respond to touch on iOS. Not great. Downloaded it because it supported Apple Music. ### 5/5 — Great workout! *2021-02-06, version 3.2* Love the look of the studio! Great instructors and really fun classes make a great workout ### 4/5 — Live class problems *2021-02-06, version 3.2* On demand classes are great, but I can’t get into a live class. It’s like the button I’d hidden by the listing of upcoming live classes. Update: thank you for your response. I reduced the text size on my device, and the button is now accessible. Added a star to my rating! Thanks for the latest update! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to get past sign in screen *2024-01-11* I want to try the app but there is a puzzle popping up at the sign in screen which seems to be missing the puzzle pieces to slide. I’m on iPhone15 with latest software **Developer response:** Sorry you’re having an issue with the puzzle. We’re implementing a fix to make the missing piece more visible. In the meantime, if you slide the arrow below the picture to the left, you can see the puzzle piece and can move it into the proper place. ### 1/5 — Can’t use *2022-05-09, version 4.4.0* Why do I have to collect my name, I can’t use it if I don’t fill it in, it’s too bad. ### 1/5 — Regatta *2022-04-09, version 4.4.0* It’s incredibly buggy. And now I can’t get “would you like to rate us in the App Store?” to go away so I’m forced to leave this bad review. I can’t get to any of the classes. ### 1/5 — Disssapointing *2022-03-16, version 4.2.9* Does not work on a regular basis ### 1/5 — Can’t get anything to work *2021-03-11, version 3.2* Sessions kept starting over and you can not skip to the part you left off at. Also cannot figure out how to cancel my subscription or find a contact anywhere. ### 1/5 — Stuck “downloading update 0%” *2021-02-03* I couldn’t get the app to work beyond the sign up screen. It kept getting stuck downloading an update, showing 0% after 10 minutes. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry that the app didn’t download for you. If you reach out to me at learnmore@teamregatta.com with some more details of the issue, I’d be happy to try and troubleshoot it with you. ### 1/5 — App is unresponsive *2021-01-29, version 3.2* This app does nothing when I get past the on boarding. Tapping anything, from a class to my profile to the ERG connection does absolutely nothing. It’s unresponsive. I’ve force quit the app multiple times and signed out and signed back in. I can’t use it at all. I started a free trial in this app last fall. I had to stop working out for medical reasons before the trial finished, but liked the workouts. I expected to be presented with a screen to pay for a subscription when I opened it today, but I wasn’t. The new on boarding flow also didn’t give me an option to subscribe. I’m not sure if my expired trial is related to the app not being responsive, but either way I can’t do anything in this app and can’t subscribe. ### 1/5 — App issues *2021-01-24, version 3.2* I tried using this app for about a week or two and at first I really enjoyed how it worked, however, it went downhill from there. The application is very slow and buggy and when running on my iPad it takes time just to try to select the course that I’m looking for. The filters don’t really make much sense the rowing time seems to just show different types of workouts and whenever I select a filter my iPad takes about 20 seconds to actually filter out the results. I like how they were going towards the peloton business model, however, the lack of compelling music during workouts is a real drag, and I understand the new update allows for connection with Apple Music, however, users that use Spotify are left in the dark. To remedy this, they have added basic music genres (I.e. EDM, salsa, dance) but all in all it’s a major disappointment. I really want this application to work and I’d love to begin my guided rowing workouts however at this point in time I cannot justify the $20 a month for such a buggy and glitchy application. if Regatta updates the program let me know I’ll definitely check it out and probably sign up, but as of right now this application is subpar. Hopefully this critique will help guide future updates to this app. ### 1/5 — Warming up - but video never starts *2021-01-20, version 3.1* I’ve been using this app off and on for a few weeks. In three separate occasions (right now being one of them), when I attempt to start the class, the screen says “warming up” but the video never starts. My internet connection is fine (other apps are working), but the video simply won’t play. I’ve even tried several of your videos and they all are doing the same thing. I like this app, but the videos not playing is a big issue for me, especially since I have a year-long subscription. If this issue continues for much longer, I’m going to request a refund. ### 1/5 — Non-Functional *2020-12-12, version 3.1* I’ve attempted two on-demand classes and both of them stop halfway through with a “waiting for connection” error. There’s also no way to restart a class from the middle so there’s no way to finish the class. No issues with internet, just the app. Good thing there’s a free trial. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rowing And Strength Training *2023-09-08, version 5.0.4* I have been using the app for several years and love it!! I often find new classes or programs to try and really appreciate the benefit of the coaching. I continue to work on technique and also the supporting strength exercises. I really appreciate warm up, cool down and yoga. I do like to revisit classes and find that I can retain more learning points each time I go through them. ### 5/5 — Really helping recovery! *2023-05-18* Easy to follow and hugely motivating after multiple breaks in shoulder, ribs and pelvis several months ago after a Paragliding accident. I'm flying again and look forward to every session with regatta on our rowing machine at home. ### 5/5 — The Peloton of rowing *2023-04-06, version 4.9.1* I rowed in high school and a few years in college . My concept 2 just sat in my basement afterward for the next 15 years. This app got me motivated and I have been consistently rowing. Good classes and peloton vibe. The user interface is a little clunky but that is my only critique. ### 5/5 — My favorite app *2023-03-27, version 4.9.1* I have a lot of apps and this one is my favorite! Excited that they will be adding classes for other machines and more programs. ### 5/5 — Love regatta fitness *2023-03-17, version 4.9.1* In my opinion, Regatta fitness is far and the way the best app for the concept 2. It provides a peloton like experience, but with a far superior machine and overall work out. I’m looking forward to seeing more advanced classes. ### 5/5 — Real oars peeps *2023-01-28, version 4.8.6* Best focused and fun peeps ### 5/5 — Great for indoor rowing machines *2023-01-13, version 4.8.6* Classes are great. Lots of cool features. Definitely makes the rower a better experience. ### 5/5 — Great rowing instruction *2023-01-10, version 4.8.3* I am a beginner/intermediate rower and being able to use rowing as a cross training workout for my running has been a perfect fit! This app helps me have a structured work out on my rower. I have enjoyed the mobility and warm ups a lot! ### 5/5 — Best digital experience using the Concept2 ERG! *2022-08-26, version 4.6.2* I’ve searched around for a good workout app to keep me motivated while on my Rower. Search is over! The instructors are great and very motivating! The data from my C2 rower is integrated into the and populates the Leaderboard and my data automatically updates in Strava. Can’t wait to try out the new music feature! ### 5/5 — The best! *2022-08-15, version 4.6.1* The instructors are all excellent, teaching strength, form and endurance. I started as a rank beginner and I just celebrated my 1st anniversary by hitting 2 million meters. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
