Eigendlich schön aber...

Eigendlich eine schöne App aber der export nach Apple Health ist kompletter Murks, zwar wird die session exportiert und theoretisch sind die daten auch in Apple Health da, aber es wird scheinbar auf die falschen felder die daten eingespielt... dazu kommt, das es schon sehr nerfig ist das ich jedesmal extra sagen muss beim start der session das ich keine apple watch trage und stattdessen die HR die vom rower kommt hergenommen werden soll... was ein zusätzliches problem ist.. wärend der session wird einem die HR angezeigt , wenn man die session beendet vergisst die app das es jemals HR daten für die session gegeben hat...

Response from developer

Hi Christopher und danke für das Feedback. Um die App weiter verbessern zu können, würde ich gern mehr erfahren, z.B. was du mit falschen Feldern meinst (aktuell sollten alle Daten korrekt als Rowing Workout inkl. Speed und Strokes an HealthKit übergeben werden) Die Hr sollte auch, wenn du keine Watch trägst, vom Rower kommen. In den Settings kann man da auch eine Präferenz einstellen. Meld dich doch gerne mal unter develop@gogolith.de, dann können wir direkt an deinem Feedback arbeiten. Vielen Dank.

Best for Indoor rowing with Apple Watch

Tried a few before landing on rowing workout, accurate stroke count and integration with Apple Health is awesome
