Ratings and reviews

Great idea, but not worth subscribing to yet. I gotta appreciate a solo developer, so here's my two main pieces of feedback: - There's no settings or place to adjust the experience. At the very least I was looking for a way to choose what audio played during a workout - sometimes there was a metronome tick between rows, but it wasn't consistent. - The beginner plan talks about helping use proper technique, but there's no info. They don't even explain "recover" vs "catch" in the display.

Good App, Suggestions for Improvement The app is clear and does tell you length of workouts, at least in the plan I'm using. My rowing machine is one of the simple ones without a fancy monitor. This app helps a lot with consistency and intervals. It works well. One helpful improvement would be to have the stick figure move at the correct SPM speed, like Metrownome (IOS only). Or, have the option to turn on an audible metronome that tells you how long to take from catch to catch.

There are times when this app is glitchy. To the point that I have to shut down the app. It will get stuck on the countdown when the workout is supposed to start. Once I get past that, it's a good app, just getting back into rowing so it is fun at this point and this app helps. Better definitions of light to high intensity would be good.

What's new

I've made some optimisations which should make the app a bit faster and smoother.
