Perfect Replacement for NK SpeedCoach

This app works perfectly for on water rowing. It can be used in place of a NK SpeedCoach. There’s an Apple Watch app that can be used without carrying a phone. The killer feature is it can sync with the C2 Log.

Useful app, when it works

This app is a strong contender to cover the basic needs of a professional digital rowing coach system. Apple Watch integration is a real plus.
Have reported the fact the app stops tracking strokes on outdoor rowing on Apple Watch after pausing the session and restarting, and subsequent receipt of a separate phone notification/text, as a bug. No response or update yet.

Must Have App

I use this app with my AppleWatch to start and stop rowing sessions. It works perfectly. I sync my rowing with the C2 Log.

Paid for subscription but cannot log workout on iphone

Loved app- used on Apple Watch for 3 workouts then went to use and said needed subscription. Did that, looked fine on phone then as about yo start outdoor rowing and it said no valid subscription. Will have to switch to another.

Worked for a while

The app worked at first, then my subscription ran out. I bought another one, but the app stopped tracking my workouts altogether. Ever since my initial subscription ran out, all my workouts say that they’re 6 seconds long and that they were done in December of 2016, which is wildly incorrect. Before this happened, the app was 5 stars.

Distance issues

My complaint is that if you pause even briefly, it wipes out the distance that has been tracked so far.

Strecke wird nicht mehr angezeigt

Die App funktioniert auf der Apple Watch Ultra 3 aber es wird in die App keine Strecke mehr angezeigt bzw. Übernommen. Sonst die App leider sinnlos

Besserung

Die App hat sich verbessert, man kann jetzt auch zwischendurch anhalten und später wieder beim Rudern weitermachen. Dies ist von Vorteil, wenn man eine kleine Trinkpause einlegt und trotzdem die Daten über eine Strecke von etwa 10 km errechnen will. Aktuell gibt es noch einen Fehler. Wenn man das iPhone dreht, dann überlagern sich teilweise Anzeigeelemente, insbesondere findet sich eine Überlagerung der Pulsfrequenz (geprüft mit iPhone X und iPhone 16 Pro), Ich glaube, ich werde diese App kaufen, so dass der Entwickler motiviert ist, weitere Verbesserungen ein Souf

Werte werden bei der Auswertung nicht mehr angezeigt

Seit dem 6.8. werden die Werte auf dem iPhone nicht mehr angezeigt.
Die Gesamtkiometer sind erhöht, statt ca 19 Kilometer werden ca 30 Kilometer angezeigt.
In der Info zu den Gesamtkilometer werden keine Segmente wie Distanz, Puls, Tempo und Schlagzahl mehr angezeigt

App not in sync with PM5

I have FW 215 HW 903 , even when PM5 displays “app connected” RowingCoach” doesn’t start the workout log or screen mirroring.

Keine HF

Indoor-Rudern ist für mich Cardio-Training. Da will ich v.a. die Herzfrequenz im Blick haben. Nur auf der Apple-Watch ist die gerade beim Rudern schwer abzulesen. Ich dachte, da könnte diese App helfen. Leider gefehlt.

Leider veraltet

Die App wurde seit einem Jahr nicht mehr aktualisiert und passt überhaupt nicht mehr zu den aktuellen Betriebssystemen. Sie funktioniert nur noch mit einigen Grundfunktionen. Vieles, was beschrieben ist geht nicht (geschätzte Strecke, Kalorien …). Und dann bleibt das wenige auch stehen, wenn ein Telefonanruf kommt oder etwas anderes unvorhergesehenes.

Sensitivety of stroke rate too low

July 2024:One year ago the app was quite good and reliable. But now, used with an Apple Watch Ultra, the stroke rate is recorded to low (2136 strokes counted on rower, 1513 recorded in app. At the moment cannot be used! March 2025: Recording got even worse, from real 1200 Strokes at machine, watch recorded 350! At this stage not recommended

Keine Übertragung mehr an Apple Health

Warum wird das Training in Apple health und Aktivitäten nicht mehr angezeigt? An den Einstllungen wurde nichts geändert!

Does the job well

I’ve been using this app for 3 years now and have logged 688 hrs on it, mostly on the water. I use it with an Apple Watch and iPhone X. It tracks my distance, time & strokes accurately. My only complaint was that sometimes it would take a minute to pinpoint my starting location via GPS, which would make it look like I’d started rowing in the road, about a mile from the starting dock. I have worked around this by starting my row in the app while I'm on the dock but a couple minutes before I enter my boat, then ending that short “row” and starting a new session when I actually start rowing. The first session seems to give the app time to pinpoint my location. I later go back and delete the “false” 2-minute workout, and the real workout shows the proper starting location on the map.

Simple, Yet Just What I Needed

This is a super simple app, but it does the job. It connects well with my Apple Watch and I can see my stats on my iPhone easily. While it’s off by a little bit from my rowing machine on stats, it’s not off by a ton and it doesn’t bother me. It counts towards Apple Fitness for the exercise ring on the Apple Watch, which is super nice! Love the dark themed UI! I will say, as a visually impaired user, it’s quite difficult to see the indicators for each number such as mi and SPM, but I’m learning to memorize where each number is since those are large and easy to see.

SPM not working

The trial worked great so I purchased the app to finish off the rowing season. However the app stopped showing the s/m while on the water the other day. I’m training for a race and that was the whole reason I purchased the app. I’ll give it another shot tomorrow and probably delete if it doesn’t work.

Bisher prima App

Seit dem letzten IOS Update wird der Streckenverlauf und die geruderten Kilometer auf dem IPhone nicht mehr aufgezeichnet. Auf der Apple Watch ist es noch sichtbar.

Annoyingly

My sculling partner and I both have had rowing coach for a while. My last row is nowhere to be seen on my iPhone and hers won’t open as her sub is not acknowledged. It’s such a bummer because it can work really well.
