Read full description

Universal Rower is an independently developed Bluetooth rowing workout tracker that reads training data sent by compatible devices. Bluetooth protocols vary by brand and model. After selecting a new device, row at least 5 strokes, then choose the result that matches your actual count. The counting method is saved for that device. Compatibility depends on the test result. Workout tracking • Automatically track strokes and workout time • View live and average stroke rate • Estimate distance and calories using adjustable workout parameters • Pause, resume, finish, and save a workout • Sync workout history and deletions across devices with iCloud • Recover an unfinished workout after an unexpected interruption Statistics and history • Review daily, weekly, and monthly summaries • See total workout time, distance, and calories • Open each workout to review calories, distance, strokes, stroke rate, and average speed Device compatibility • Choose a nearby Bluetooth device yourself • Test newly selected devices with at least five strokes • Choose the correct stroke count and save the counting method for your device • Create a diagnostic attachment and send it by email if counting is inaccurate • Bluetooth logs are never uploaded automatically Local and private Workout history, custom parameters, and Bluetooth logs are stored on your device. The app contains no advertising and does not track you across apps. Diagnostic data leaves your device only after you create an attachment and confirm sending the email. iCloud workout sync is free for all users, enabled by default and switchable in Settings. Local workout history merges with the current Apple Account’s private cloud records, and deletions sync across devices.
