The app is very basic not worth while. I canceled it on the 7 day of free trial but they charge me anyway! I contacted the developer and it took Nick a month to reply, saying that now it was too late to do anything. They could see I only used the app once but choose to keep my money and say they could do nothing. Really laughable response! Do not even bother to do the trial period!

was good but something in it broke? the "example" workouts stopped working and now have inaccurate descriptions and no moving/gif visual of how to perform. just a static starting position image. also gets weird if you open another app while rowing. used to be a le to go to my music and change tracks, but now if I do that it repeats the segment without changing the time, so I wind up on negative time left at the end of exercises? not sure what happened, but quality def went down.

I have been ill for many years and am now in a position to start exercising again, I was looking for an app to use with my old(ish) rowing machine and thought I'd try this one...it is fantastic! I'm on the starter now and I already feel better, slowly getting stronger...years of inactivity...it's expensive for me and I'm not sure I can keep it up but I'll keep rowing!
