Doesn’t work with ROUVY - no support either
I tried this - linking my iPhone 16 with my iPad to a waterrower equipped with an S4 controller & Bluetooth module.
All I get is an error message from ROUVY saying ‘device cannot be connected as a smart trainer/power meter’
The support link in the app doesn’t work - an utter waste of money

Works Perfectly
This app works 100%. I enjoy the features and feel it is an upgrade from PainSled.
Amazing app: Zwift on a rowing machine
Thank you to the developer, I mention this app to everyone I meet who has a concept 2 rowing machine.
App will not connect to Zwift
I spent over an hour trying to get the app to connect to Zwift. Unfortunately, I couldn’t accomplish the task. I was able to get the RowedBiker app to connect to Concept 2 rower with PM5 monitor. However, the app wouldn’t connect to Zwift. I attempted to do this using both Android and iOS versions of the app. I just wasted 10 bucks on the iOs version which didn’t work. Very disappointed.

A well thought out app for rowing on Zwift
I absolutely love this app. I’ve been cycling on Zwift for a few years now so when I bought a Concept2 rower, I immediately started looking for virtual rowing apps. In the end, I found moving across virtual lakes boring. That began my search for an app where the Concept2 could output my power to Zwift so I could both ride and row in the app I like most.
My initial concerns were that my rowing power is less than my cycling power so I might not be able to keep up with the groups I like to ride with. Secondly, how to get a drink or towel off while rowing (I.e. stop outputting power) without losing the draft. This app easily solves both allowing you to select a multiplier to match your average rowing power to cycling. They suggest 30% which has been pretty close for me. But the best feature is the cruise control. It allows you to store up power and then use that stored power while you towel off, get a drink, or stand and stretch. In 1-hour group rides/rows, this is an awesome feature.
Thanks to the developer for a simple to use app with just the features we absolutely need!!
One disadvantage is that the PM5 can only connect to one app so you can’t use ErgData at the same time so your rows won’t upload to the Concept2 Logbook. I’m willing to go without that in order to enjoy Zwift as I row.
