Description
Coxswain helps you organize your rowing: Connect your Android device to your Waterrower and choose your training program.
- record your workout while watching Youtube videos or other media (choose an intent to be executed on training start) - row against previous workouts - adjust the workout display (long press to choice from distance, duration, strokes, energy, speed, pulse, stroke rate, stroke ratio, time, split, average split, delta distance, delta duration) - export your workout to TCX (Training Center XML) to import it into your favorite fitness tracking App or service. - export your workout to your calendar - export your workout to Google Fit (experimental) - read heart rate from your Waterrower, Android sensor or a connected Bluetooth LE/Ant+ device
Your Waterrower S4 can be connected to your Android device - either via USB-OTG adapter (USB-A-female to USB-micro/USB-C resp.), requires On-The-Go (OTG) support on your device - or Bluetooth, requires the Waterrower S4 Bluetooth Comm Module (check the revision number printed on it, "S4 comms 36" is not supported)

Great App for Water Rower! Tracks stroke power, heart rate (with Bluetooth com module and heart rate monitor installed on rower). Keeps track of workouts in a convenient manner. This is more like the apl I was hoping I could get.
★★★★★
Awesome app. Connects to water rower with USB. Only extra which would make it 5 star is direct export to strata, so I don't have to keep locating the file and entering details into strata. Otherwise... Best rowing app out there.
★★★★★
My must-have water rower workout tracker, which I use instead of the very basic S4 monitor. Would like more granularity on timings & distance (10" to allow 50"/10", and 50 m to allow 750 m). Also review of segment timings and distances without having to dig into spreadsheets. But those are minor details compared to the huge flexibility and power this app gives you. For free! Minor issue - can't reconnect HRM to it after changing HRM battery, which is weird.
★★☆☆☆
I can't get the water rower to connect via the Bluetooth or directly through usb. Not sure what I could be missing, but it sure is frustrating.
★★☆☆☆
I'm not seeing what other reviewers are seeing. I find it not particularly functional. The pre-programmed workout programs work, but I cannot edit them. It will not let me edit the duration of the 10-minute workout, and it is super aggravating to have it quit after the 10 minutes have expired. I see where I can have it continue after the selected program has expired, but I would like to set the duration to 30 minutes. Even if I add a new program for duration, the app defaults to 30 seconds and doesn't allow for me to edit. I have been unable to find any user guides anywhere and nothing in the program seems to be intuitive. Sorry. I appreciate that it is free, but I would rather pay for something that worked, then have something for free that does not.
★★☆☆☆
Needs to be more flexible. Time is adjustable by 30sec increments. Tabata's workouts have only 20sec "on" so technically you can't even set up Tabata intervals. Let us just type in the time please. Same goes for meters rowed, 100 m increments are only allowed. In general scrolling to set a value is annoying. Good part is feature that tells you if you are over or under your goal pace for the interval.
