Can’t connect after update

It tells me I need to turn on my Bluetooth, which is on and then it just freezes up so I need to force close it. The update broke it.

Inconsistent and new update fails to connect.

I can no longer connect my SmartRow, light ring, or heart rate monitor. I’ve reset my Bluetooth connections both on the app and in the settings, with no device showing. Bummer the light ring only works with this app.

Poor Bluetooth connectivity

Poor Bluetooth connectivity

Locks up

Latest version locks up claiming it needs permissions for local network even though blue tooth permission is on. App unusable

Works great as a workout tracker

Update. Since last app update, it just crashes immediately upon starting the “just row”. Help!

I really enjoy using the “Just Row” mode. It took a while and some help from waterrower support, but once I understood how it works I found it very useful. I bought a Polar H10 chest monitor and an S4 bluetooth transmitter for my rower and they work very well with an older iPad. Also figured out how to use the Apple watch version of the app and the iPhone which uses wrist HR tracking and is more convenient but has the downside that the watch does not always transmit the measured heart rate to the iPhone.
