Comments on BoatCoach for rowing & erging for Android
★★★★★Diego Laplagne· Aug 4, 2025
Amazing app for rowing. I use it daily in my outdoor rowing sessions to monitor my SPM online and then to analyze the data offline.
★★★★☆Stephen Dear· Sep 30, 2019
Fantastic free stroke coach. Reads out speed and rating throughout outing, auto start etc. Splash guard and silence doesn't seem to work on my phone but might be my settings.
★★★★★Alex Goodale· Jul 13, 2020
A great rowing app, I have used it for rowing my skiff and OarBoard 'training single.' Very effective for monitoring performance.

Potentially a very interesting application with lots of features, in reality it did not work for me. In only tried it in the boat, mainly to display basic information like stroke rate and speed. I appreciated the possibility to customize my own screen. Real flaw (with my phone) was that the stroke rate could not be determined reliably. Besides, that I had practical problems while running it on my phone. It drained batteries too much, because the screen had to stay up. That caused the screen to be dimmed, which made it really unreadable. I had to use a waterproof sleeve which made that harder too. There were some annoying system pop-ups I could not suppress. And then there was the question of how to reliably and readably attach the phone to the boat. So in my experience, this might work for a cox, but not for a rower.

Used to really enjoy using boat coach just for logging my Concept2 rows. Now the app demands I use precise location information which I do not need or want, I use an usb cable not Bluetooth, not that that should matter for data transfer on a static rower. Poor show boat coach. This is another app I'll have to uninstall because of unwarranted data slurping. 🤨😒

No added value unless you pay for a subscription. Free version is just a copy of erg data Edit: For use with concept2, I personally found no value added unless I paid. I'm not interested in Facebook or Strata integration.
