### 2/5 — Nice interface, but needs improvement

*2020-09-07, version 1.5.2*

This ap is a nice timer but here are some ideas to improve its performance for rowers - it would be useful if there was a sound between intervals to indicate when changing (either just before or at the interval change), the start button is larger than the countdown timer - it should be the other way around so that we can see the countdown timer. 
It is nice to be able to name each interval to indicate if it’s a power/paddle interval. But with the current setup, it isn’t useful unless you want to stare at the screen.

### 4/5 — Solid App

*2020-04-16, version 1.5.2*

If you are like me and lose track of time or struggle to keep steady SPM then this app is for you. Setting the SPM and endurance is as simple as tapping the + or - signs.
Setting up an interval session is a little more involved. You have to “add a workout.” Name the workout.
Then “add stage” = speed, duration, description then hit save
Continue adding stages till the workout is complete.
Once I figured out how to use the app I realized how elegant it is.
I looked online for rowing workouts, found which would work for me and plugged the numbers into the app. Brilliant!!
The electronic device on my rower stopped working within days but my rower works fine and I’ve used it for years. I was considering buying another rower, instead I found this app and it does just what I want. If your looking for ergs or split times forget it but if you want to keep a set pace or vary the intensity then it’s $2 well spent

**Developer response:** Hi CodyPuppy, thanks for the review. You’ve summed up the functionality very well. Happy rowing!

### 1/5 — Hope this improves

*2019-10-20, version 1.4*

I tried the steady workout, and, although basic it was fine. Paid  to get more workouts and that did not work. It recognizes that I made the purchase but now if I try to go to an interval workout the app closes altogether. So far a big waste of money. I will be happy to update the review of this improves.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you’ve had some trouble, I’ve found the bug and will be updating the app very soon. Thank you
