## What is Rowing SPM?

Rowing SPM is a free rowing strokes per minute (SPM) counter.
Now Supports Apple Watch
Simply tap the 'Stroke' button and the app will calculate the current stroke rate and also the average stroke rate for the last 5 and 10 strokes.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-08-31*

I cox for Cal Crew and it work great! Use every day!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2018-01-03*

Can’t get it to count anything but no strokes.

### 1/5 — Doesn't seem to work

*2017-06-27*

At least not with ios 10.3.2 and Apple Watch 3.2.  It loads but won't reset on hold nor actually count strokes without hitting the stroke button on the watch.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2013-02-09*

Works really well. But it would be great if you tapped at stroke and finish so it could display the ratio.

### 5/5 — Simple easy to use app

*2012-04-22*

Well chuffed!

### 5/5 — Awesome, simple, free

*2011-09-10*

I've been looking for a simple stroke counter I could use when watching rowing races. This is the most useful of the bunch.
