★★★★★
A brilliant rowing app. Huge range of workouts to try and programs to improve fitness. Connect to the rower select the workout and start rowing. No fuss or hassel. Post workout stats are great and there are integrations with Strata and concept 2 logbooks.
★★★★★
Excellent rowing app with preloaded and custom workouts with great support from developers. Live rowing with others is also great.
★★★★★
KREW is simply the best companion for a C2 rowing machine there is. My favorite features are being able to work through long workout programs like the Pete Plan, where the targets adjust automatically based on your previous performance - not only do you know exactly what workout is to be done next, it keeps you challenged, without ever having to fiddle with the PM monitor itself. The developer is super-responsive and the app is both well polished and stable. I don't erg without it!
★★☆☆☆
Krew's terms requires you to agree to fully indemnify the company, without financial limitation. Who would knowing use this app and agree to such terms? I did not agree and will uninstall the app.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't save my "Just Row" workouts (warm-ups and cool-downs). The app was a bit difficult to figure out (UI felt a bit complicated).
★★☆☆☆
Could be a really excellent app. It always connects well for me, the detailed analysis at the end of the workout is fantastic, the interface is easy to use, and I love that it connects directly to Strata (Hopefully Garmin in future). The glaring issue for me is the inability to do Calorie workouts, which is a very frequently used training "rep" scheme in CrossFit. $10 a month is a hefty price tags to be missing such a key component. If this was added the app would certainly be 5 star quality!
