The SmartRow App (together with the SmartRow-conversion) will turn your WaterRower into a lab grade ergometer. It will not only show you power, distance, work-per-stroke, calories etc., it will show you each force-curve, heart rate graph and much, much more! It keeps track of your workouts, and even shows you well-known fitness metrics like 'Watts-per-Beat' and 'Watts-per-Kilogram'. It even syncs your workout data with Apple Health. This is the best training tool you can invest in—after hiring a coach, of course!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MOVE! at 5.0 against SmartRow's 3.8. MOVE! also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 46%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). SmartRow's advantage is ratings volume (73 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
