When it loads to 100% it leaves game and takes me back to my Home Screen ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing *2025-01-24* Looking for a app to use with my rower. Starts up no problem. Connects to the rower no problem. Every time I try to start the rowing gets to 100% and crashes. Very disappointing ### 2/5 — Buggy *2024-06-05* Got it to run on a new iPad. But still buggy. Hangs frequently when updating content packs and entering the game to row. Frequently exits and reenters the game while rowing with rowed distance reset. Interval tones may play or not, who knows. Sometimes the force curve from my PM5 shows up, sometimes not. The progress bar for interval training doesn’t line up to when the interval should change so without tones, you just end up rowing whatever. Why don’t you have a rotating camera view option? I think it’s the battlecam, but it cycles so quickly it’ll make you nauseous. And most importantly, the game shorted me about 5km of trial distance. Graphics are pretty, but I’ll go back to EXR. **Developer response:** Hi, please email us at contact@swelldoneapp.com so we can get more details to address this issue for you. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-05-17* Couldn’t get arcade or erg-synched version to work on iPad, synched version didn’t connect on iPhone. Graphics looked great, and I like the idea, though. 😐 ### 1/5 — Crashes on Avatar Selection *2024-05-02* Can’t use. **Developer response:** Hi, please email us at contact@swelldoneapp.com so we can get more details to address this issue for you. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Crashes after loading *2024-02-25* Not really working well **Developer response:** Hi, please email us at contact@swelldoneapp.com and we’ll get you up and running. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Sick *2023-07-11* Sick ### 4/5 — Tremendous app! *2023-01-01* (+) Row in beautiful Hawaii, with others all conditions, all boats. Download to logs, apple health. Soo neat. (-) Doesn't load / work on ipad; iPhone 13 pro max gets very hot in 2 minutes. No Apple tv app (the obvious choice: any screen size)... **Developer response:** AppleTV version is now available, please try it out! Thank you! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-08-11* Crashes every time I start. Was great…now nothing. **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version, we've made a ton of fixes for performance and compatibility. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-05-25* Love the app and I love how fast Wyatt responded and resolved my issues. It’s a must have app for perging ## Frequently asked questions about Swelldone ### What is Swelldone? Swelldone is a virtual open-world paddling and rowing training game.
