SmartRow

Distance data is all available in the SmartRow app itself, but HealthKit only stores duration and heart rate related info. Not sure why this limitation is there, and I’d assume it’s an easy fix. Will give 5* if this is fixed in a future update.

Sadly there is still no integration to Garmin devices - either via soft sync via Garmin API or via Bluetooth Garmin Trainer support for higher end Garmin watches. Review downgraded to single star.

Do you have any plans to make smart row compatible to pair with garmin? If so when? Also when will the Apple Watch pairing no longer be considered in ‘beta’ and have fully fledged compatibility? Thanks!

If any of you are planning to use SmartRow with the latest version of Kinomap it’s not really working. Every time you want to row you have to delete SmartRow equipment in Kinomap and add it back again - tedious to do. Connection is not always possible and you have to reboot iPhone to get it working. Worse still with the latest version ok Kinomap I get a message saying ‘Main Data not Received’ when trying to connect. Developers have said for many months they would sort this but nothing happens. The app itself works OK but I can’t recommend it if you want to use it with a third party rowing app.

I’ve been using the app for a while and do think it is good but could do with some improvements. I’d like the option of a pace boat that actually shows two boats in a graphic rather than the circles. I also notice a lag between SR and EXR and am not sure which side issue is on if I’m honest! I’d love the two to be in sync but EXR suggests about 8-9 seconds difference per 500m!

Great device and app for Waterrower! Specifically went for the performance erg version due to SmartRow which offers excellent data and features. Great to see ongoing improvements and innovations. Very happy so far. Could you please also make it compatible with Asensei!

Occasionally when rowing I get interrupted and need to pause my session. Just cant seem to do that. Can you consider it please

This app is great. The Apple Watch integration could do with a bit of work but it’s a promising start - don’t give up!

Easy to use, great interface and feedback. Work outs and races are cool. It really elevates the rower. Dropped a star because it needs a Garmin smartwatch integration alongside the Apple Watch.

If I use Apple Watch or a polar chest strap, heart rate measurement is VERY flaky. It’s been the Sam for years. No improvements. Today, during a 5 minute row, my HR was measured at a flat 62bpm. It’s very poor for such an expensive system. I have stopped using it and just use my Apple Watch indoor rowing function. Very disappointed because my WaterRower is fantastic. They need to find a new technology partner.
