CrewNerd Lite

I have come back to K1 racing rather late in life and realised that nobody wants to coach an older guy. So I looked and looked for a tool that would utilise all the amazing tech of my iPhone and provide me with real time and recorded workout data for post analysis of my progress ... This tool is really great and tuned correctly can pick up every stroke and heart beat .... I use it with iPhone 8 and the Scosche Rhythm+ HR armband. The phone is placed in a waterproof pouch attached in front of my cockpit using Velcro and I keep it attached to me via a lanyard. Great simple affordable! I use Trainingpeaks.com to view and analyse all my workouts and progress. Great App! Thanks to the developers!

Excellent rowing app. I race Cornish Pilot Gigs (crew of 6 plus cox) and I was worried it would not work so well as it does on sliding seat boats as the gigs dont have such a pronounced catch. By lowering the sensitivity setting I managed to get it to register each catch accurately and it has now become an excellent tool for club training. I have combined this app with a GoPro HD camera and DashWare software to calibrate the video with the SpeedCoach Mobile .csv logs to show real time speed, stroke rate, time and GPS location superimposed over the video. The app is expensive but considering the time put into the development and the relatively small market it is fairly priced. Strongly recommend downloading the free version to trial it first. Happy rowing....
