### 3/5 — Needs to connect to health app

*2025-07-07*

Like that it can track calories burned and pace and everything. Just strange that it doesn't integrate into the apple health app so it connects it there because it doesn't update with my activity so kind of pointless except to track your progress. Hope they fix it

### 2/5 — Lieblose Unverschämtheit

*2025-05-21*

Für einen premium Sportgerätehersteller ist diese unausgegorene lieblose App mit ständigen Verbindungsabbrüchen ein Armutszeugnis. Noch nicht einmal die Videos sind in einer anhörbaren deutschen Übersetzung. Unbedingt alle Bereiche überarbeiten und sich den Anspruch eines premium Anbieters bewusst werden !

### 2/5 — Bien — Dommage

*2025-01-19*

L application est bien quand elle fonctionne

### 2/5 — Problèmes de connexion

*2025-01-18*

L’appli serait pas mal sans tous les problèmes de connexion et de sauvegarde des sessions. C’est un peu comme se dire « J’ai une super voiture, mais elle ne démarre en moyenne qu’un jour sur deux, aléatoirement. » Je désinstalle, et retourne aux notes sur carnet.

### 2/5 — Out of date app

*2024-05-17*

Doesn’t upload to Strava.
Doesn’t work on Apple Watch to capture heart rate.
Hasn’t been uploaded in four years!?

### 2/5 — No Apple Watch sync

*2024-04-25, version 2.1.1*

The app is not synchronised with Apple Watch, therefore workouts are not logged and it’s not tracking heart rate either. No connection to My Wellness Cloud either. These would be much appreciated.

### 3/5 — Tutto sommato OK

*2024-04-21, version 2.1.1*

Direi che c’è quello che serve, ma perché non aggiornarla e dare una nuova veste grafica, maggior sincronizzazione con l’attrezzo/altre app etc? App un po’ vecchiotta

### 3/5 — Unreliable

*2024-04-20*

Nice concept, though badly implemente — I have found the app unreliable, fails to record sessions, frequently loses and fails to upload data. The app an its users are clearly overdue for an update from the TechnoGym developer team.

### 2/5 — Not reliable

*2024-03-27*

I enjoyed using the Skill Row app at first but now week after week it doesn’t register my sessions, times and distance.
I’ve called the support team on a few occasions but nothing is ever done.
It’s not reliable and that’s a shame.
You set a goal for the week and it’s very disheartening when you realise that your sessions haven’t been registered and have been lost on the app.

### 2/5 — Trop de soucis de connexion

*2024-02-19*

… trop de soucis, de connexion… Obligé de redémarrer le téléphone régulièrement… L’application ne se lance pas lorsque l’on démarre le rameur
Aucun retour du Service Clients… Pas faute d’avoir envoyé plusieurs messages, mais jamais eu un seul retour

### 2/5 — Bien quand fonctionne

*2023-12-15*

Appli de bonne facture dans l'ensemble
Mais énorme point noire, sans raison apparente, elle "oublie" d'enregistrer 1 séance sur 3. Donc gâche beaucoup son utilité.

### 3/5 — Apple Health Anbindung fehlt!!!!

*2023-09-19*

Ich würde 5 Sterne geben, weil mir die App echt gut gefällt. Aber es fehlt eine Anbindung an die Apple Health App! Es wäre cool, wenn man die geruderten Meter / Kilometer und die Pace sowie die Kalorien in die Health App übertragen könnte! Also automatisiert übertragen könnte.

### 1/5 — Palhaçada

*2023-07-27*

Palhaçada não funcionar no iOS 15.7.7

### 3/5 — The pause…

*2023-04-28*

Can you guys lengthen the time it is allowed to pause for please?  If I stop mid row for water it doesn’t/won’t resume if I’m longer than a few seconds…
Archie

### 1/5 — Aucun suivi ?!

*2023-04-11*

Pas de mise à jour depuis 3 ans ça fait peut être abusé non ?!

Une connectivité avec l’Apple Watch serait carrément un plus !

Dans de plus en plus de salle on voit ces rameurs, mais l’appli ne semble pas suivre…

### 1/5 — Won’t connect - waste of time

*2023-02-15*

I deleted the app because it would not connect to the machine. Then with the app I couldn’t manually add my workout in MyWellness. I tried multiple times but it just doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — Language

*2022-12-28*

The app has some very useful video tips on how to row correctly, however the video work out videos are annoying when it plays audio in a foreign language.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth horrible

*2022-11-13*

Permanently breaking bt connection to rowing devive

### 2/5 — Stand Alone Lösung

*2022-10-13*

Das Rudergerät ist toll! Das mal vorweg. Aaaber die App dazu ist echt vorsintflutlich. Nicht mal die Übertragung der Daten an Apple Health ist möglich. Das ist definitiv nicht Premium und bei dem Kaufpreis für das Rudergerät nicht angemessen. Wenn man das bei Technogym reklamiert wird man auf deren hauseigene Trainigsapp verwiesen. Da kann man dann verschiedene Sportarten trocken. Aber ich will mich nicht umstellen. Mit Apple geht nämlich alles super, nur Technogym nicht! Suche den Fehler…

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-02-02*

The app simply doesn’t work. It rarely connects to the rower, and on the odd occasion it does, it’s completely inaccurate. Doesn’t sync with Apple Health. Garbage.

### 1/5 — Loses connection, workouts

*2025-09-01*

The app regularly loses connection with the erg, interrupts your workout, and then loses all the data.

### 1/5 — Catastrophique

*2025-04-16*

Suite a l’utilisation de l’application pour la première fois mon téléphone s’est softlock j’ai du aller en centre Apple pour déverrouiller le telephone bloqué

### 1/5 — Vous attendez quoi??!!

*2025-02-16*

Bonjour, Dommage pour du matériel haute gamme, pas de suivi sur les applications, pas de nouvelles mise à jour depuis 5ans, alors qu’il est relevé plusieurs problématiques C’est abusé ! Surtout à l’heure de la connectivité.

### 1/5 — Not recording sessions

*2024-12-23*

The app initially recorded row sessions, but not now. What’s the point of having an app if there is no support?

### 1/5 — Never saves the data

*2024-10-01*

I rowed multiple times back to back. Everytime it recorded the data , paused and didn’t save anything. Ended up recording only 2 sessions out of 6.

### 1/5 — Not so useful

*2024-09-10*

Didn’t upload to Strava, doesn’t show splits. Useless app, just a gimmick really

### 1/5 — Doesn’t record sessions

*2024-02-10*

The App is rubbish. Doesn’t keep track of your sessions. No point entering challenges as your efforts are not logged. 

This app hasn’t been updated in 4 years so no point in reporting the issues as they unlikely to be addressed.

### 1/5 — Eine Katastrophale

*2023-12-23*

Diese App sollte Technogym peinlich sein. Da werden hochwertige und teure Fitnessgegäte verkauft mit tollem Design. Und dann dazu so eine Schrott-App. Während des Trainings verliert sie immer wieder den Kontakt zum Rower, steigt dann aus, ohne zu speichern. Man kann auch nicht mal ne Pause einlegen, um kurz was zu trinken. Oder eine Verbindung zu den anderen Technogym-Apps nicht möglich. Und … noch zig andere Bugs, welche die App nicht wirklich nutzbar macht. Wer also mit seinem SkillRow vernünftig trainieren will, sollte auf eine andere App zurückgreifen. Echt peinlich für Technogym.

### 1/5 — Hopeless

*2023-10-07*

Used app 3 times. On 2 occasions the app disconnected the rower 1/2 way through and messed up my times on both. You would think that for £4K you would get an app that works 🤷‍♂️. The rowing action is actually ok but the lack of memory on the display and the faulty app makes this a poor cousin of the concept.

### 5/5 — Keeps crashing

*2023-01-15, version 2.1.1*

Great app! lately it just keeps crashing when switching to another app

### 5/5 — You’re never row alone!!

*2021-01-15, version 2.1.1*

I get a perfect and precise training with the SkillRow & skillrow app.I love to be part of the worldwide community and challenge myself every day!

### 5/5 — Enjoying this app.

*2020-01-22*

Just come across a glitch - Not all workouts are always logged. I was completing a pre-set workout when I was interrupted and stopped for a bit. I resumed the workout but the message screen was frozen on the app. The rower screen reset and wasn’t connected to my phone- I lost my completed workout. Otherwise, no problems with the app and think it’s great for motivation.
In response to the comments about interval training - in the app there is a whole workout section for interval training, and you can programme your own in the personal workout section pretty easily. Try just row for other stuff.

### 5/5 — Ottima app

*2019-12-05, version 2.1.1*

Ottima app completa in tutti gli aspetti. La competizione è stimolante e motiva durante le sessioni di allenamento. Nessuno mi toglie la convinzione che alcuni atleti forzino i loro score con falsi allenamenti; se la mia sensazione è corretta il problema non è nell’app ma nelle teste di chi lo fa.

### 5/5 — Excelente!

*2019-11-29*

Que bom seria, se todo aplicativo foi bem pensado e caprichado como esse aqui. Funcional com tudo o que precisamos para programar uma sessão de treino, e muito bonito de olhar. Esse é uma verdadeira jóia.

### 5/5 — Excellent training companion.

*2019-11-25*

I really enjoy training at home using this app on my machine, the data collection and review process is very well managed within the MyWellness ecosystem once the units are set up appropriately. Being able to race your previous best “ghost”, or other rower’s best times for the range of challenge distances is immensely motivating as are the instructional videos of which I wish there were more (my only minor critique).

### 5/5 — Nothing else like it!

*2019-08-02*

No other rowing machine on the market has a free app that provides feedback and programming except the Skillrow by Technogym. My favorite features are the worldwide challenges, worldwide rankings on races from 100 to 10,000 meters, detailed feedback on your rowing stroke and ability to look at workout history. This app makes a great tower even better with engaging experiences.

### 5/5 — Wahnsinn!

*2019-05-06*

Mega App mit klasse Trainingsprogrammen!

### 5/5 — Music Back

*2019-03-07*

Up from 1 star to 5, as now able to listen to music again while using app....

### 4/5 — Top mais

*2020-07-10*

Je n’ai plus accès a aucun chrono dans la classique
