Oarca is a rowing app built for the water and for the clubs that row on it. Track every stroke with your phone, follow a structured plan, book your seat in the club boat and see your progress week by week, month by month and year by year. YOUR ROWING, AT A GLANCE The home screen opens on your week. Switch to month or year, change the metric between time, distance, strokes and calories, and pull the week down to see every day as a bar. Your last workout and your next booked session sit side by side, so you always know what you did and what comes next. Today's weather for your rowing spot, with wind, humidity and sunrise, is right there too. TRACK EVERY STROKE • Live stroke rate (SPM) measured by your phone while you row • GPS route with distance, pace, split times and speed along the course • Heart rate and heart rate zones with a Bluetooth chest strap or Polar sensor • A clear live screen made for quick looks between strokes • Works without mobile signal: the workout is saved on the phone and syncs later TRAIN WITH A PLAN • Just Row for a free session • Single distance, single time and stroke count workouts • Constant and variable intervals with rest periods • Saved locations and a training calendar with reminders UNDERSTAND YOUR PERFORMANCE • Split by split breakdown and interval comparison • Pace, stroke rate and heart rate graphs for every session • Heart rate zone distribution • Week, month and year totals on the home screen • Share cards with your route and numbers for social media ROWING CALCULATORS Five tools for coaches and athletes: pace calculator, split time calculator, race predictor, heart rate zones and stroke analysis.
