Really flakey recently

Worked ok for a year or so but has become flakey. Crashing mid workout. At least it records effort before crashing so there’s some evidence for strava….

Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

iPhone 17 pro max. Garmin cirqa HRM broadcast.

Bluetooth no longer working

With the latest release the Bluetooth connection is broken.

The app connects to the Comms but no data is transferred between the Comms device and the app.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling - same result.

A Has Been..

This used to be great for connecting easily to my WaterRower and tracking my workouts. It was easy to connect, easy to set up beforehand, and gave good statistics to keep me on track. These past few releases of updates and it is difficult to connect to the rower, and unstable when attempting to use. There’s no reason at this rate to have an app and subscription if the reliability you pay for is not there anymore.

Stopped working with latest updates 😫

The recent changes to improve Bluetooth connectivity means that the app ‘connects’ more quickly, but it is no longer triggered when I start rowing, so it doesn’t capture the workout at all. The watch app, on the other hand, has started counting as soon as the workout is scheduled (rather than waiting until I’ve started rowing).

It’s frustrating as this all used to work fine, but it seems to be deteriorating with each release.

App updates

The latest app update supposed to solve connectivity issues. It’s 14 hrs since the release of said update and I the app is not even showing logo. Just black screen. Phone restarted multiple times and still nada. The connectivity started to go downhill for some time now. You’d do well to restore it as it also not reflecting values on my watch. It literally just shows “-“ on all values. I have stopped using it for a very long time as it’s only frustrating rather than relaxing. I row to relax. App issues frustrate me. So let see how long it will take you to sort your mess out and I’ll see if I will come back to it. There’s plenty of fish in the ocean, as they say.
