## What is RowHero?

Coaches: get 100% accurate, stroke-by-stroke erg results for your team, stored forever

Here's how it works:
• Before a workout, every athlete quickly connects RowHero to their Concept2 PM5. It's all wireless.
• Every piece/interval result then gets sent directly to your app at the end of every piece.
• You get access to everything you're used to, plus stroke-by-stroke breakdown of every piece, and new metrics like stroke length and potential split.

And because workouts are saved forever, so you get to see your team's progress over time without trying to put together the right set of spreadsheets every single time. Rank results by raw speed or performance improvement to provide opportunities for everyone to shine.

Athletes, find personalized ways to get faster

As a former youth coach, my goal is to help you be the best competitive rower you can be. Here's what RowHero can do for you:
• Never have to wonder about your 2K or 6K PR again. It's all right in the app for you.
• Getting faster is all about understanding where you have the biggest area to grow: technique, fitness, and mindset. RowHero can help you identify where to focus based on its stroke length and potential speed metrics.
• When you row with a team you can automatically you see how you stack up against others, so you can use your teammates as motivation to keep pushing for more.

Stats are only part of the equation, but if you're driven to improve, you can build your confidence tremendously with what RowHero shares with you. Are you in?

### 4/5 — Great, would like more heart rate info

*2025-10-01*

I love this app and have been using it for a while with my team. I recently got a heart rate monitor to use while erging, and I am a little disappointed that the only heart rate info it tells me is the average over the piece. Even the PM5 monitor erg tells me the highest heart rate in each split. It would be super helpful if RowHero recorded your heart rate and put it in a graph to view after the workout like the rest of the stats. But overall, great app, definitely worth it and I’m going to continue to use it.

### 5/5 — KM

*2025-03-31, version 1.16.0*

Love this app. Lots of key metrics including the real time power curve analysis for smoothness and power application (you can select your preferred range). Good motivators for high quality strokes etc. Developers are super helpful as well.

### 4/5 — Almost the best app ever

*2024-10-23*

I use this app every day, and it’s great in many ways. I would give it 4.5 but that isn’t an option I guess. The only reasons I wouldn’t say 5/5 are as follows: 1) You can’t write notes on your own private workouts. 2) You can’t search workouts you’ve completed (unless you know the date you did it). 3) You can’t filter or sort completed workouts, for if per-say I wanted to see every 2k I have done and how I’ve improved. These quality of life changes would make this app perfect! Pls add them😁

### 5/5 — Amazing app for rowing

*2024-06-26*

Row Hero is data driven for the rower who wants to take their rowing to the next level.  The app links seamless to the C2 machine and gives you detailed force curves in real time.  I use these curves in my rowing performance clinic to correct form faults for my rowers.  The curve gives instant stroke by stroke feedback in greater detail than the read out on the C2 machine.  The app links well to C2 erg data so you don’t miss a beat on your challenge workouts.  The stroke by stroke data is a game changer for my athletes who are working improving their 2k or 6k performance.  The data is robust and easy to work with, and you get more data points in your excel file than any other platform I’ve worked with.
If you’re not into crazy data the smoothness fire strokes keep you motivated on those long rows to make every stroke your best.  You get really thoughtful when you’re on a 300 stroke fire streak!  This keeps you in the piece and on your best game even on the long zone 2 rows.  Row hero is a must have for any serious rower looking to up their game.

### 5/5 — Really easy and good

*2023-12-18*

There is not a single thing bad about this app, and it’s free!

### 5/5 — Really good

*2023-09-22, version 1.12.2*

Just downloaded and seems to have everything I would want in the app. It’s simple but has really nice features and definitely something that I will use every session
