Downstream turns your Concept2 erg into a coached training system. Pick from a catalog of hundreds of workouts or build your own and save them to your library — filter by training zone or duration. Drop them onto your calendar and each day's session is waiting for you, ready to row. While you pull, Downstream drives the workout: live pace and stroke-rate targets, split-by-split feedback, intervals and rest, and a customizable live screen. Every workout is captured — splits, strokes, and heart rate — and lands in your log automatically. • Works with any Concept2 erg (RowErg, BikeErg, SkiErg) over Bluetooth • Verified sync to your official Concept2 Logbook • Heart rate from a chest strap or your Apple Watch — free • Import your on-water rows, bike, and run activities from Strava • Start a Spotify playlist automatically when you begin a piece • Share-ready workout summary cards No ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Row Downstream at none against Row House's 2. Row Downstream also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). Row House's advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
