Start Rowing - Rowing Coach 4+

I first left a 3star review detailing the missing features that would make this app worthwhile. Within a few weeks, the dev had actually listened and incorporate a free-row and a custom workout module where you can design your own.

It’s truly incredible that the dev actually takes user feedback into consideration and also incorporates it so quickly.

The app is perfect now and is honestly worth every penny.

Update: I have released a new Custom Workouts feature today, and a 'Free Row' feature should be ready for release next week. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the review and feedback, I really appreciate it.

- I'm currently working on Custom Workouts, where you will be able to set your own SPM and durations. Free-Row is a great idea and something I will look into.

- I appreciate the feedback on rates changing mid-workout. It's something I am aware of and want to improve on.

- I do understand the frustration with auto-renewal. It's the default behaviour with subscriptions through Apple and you can cancel it at any time but I do clearly need to make this more obvious, so I can only apologise for the inconvenience.

Thanks so much for the feedback as I want to keep making the app better!

I’ve been using this app for a week, but I’d really like a little more functionality from it. Would be great to record my avg split time after each workout so I can track my progress rather than just meters rowed alone. I’d also like to be able to turn up the volume metronome/countdown person outside of my music. I can hardly hear the announcements over my music, and I can’t hear a metronome at all. Ive been using the visual metronome, which is great, but would be nice to hear it so I don’t have to keep looking down at my phone.
Overall, so far I think it’s a great app and I am enjoying the progression of my endurance/weight loss program. I’d just like to record more data in the app, please! Thank you!

Thanks for your review! That's some great feedback, I'm going to try and add some more options for data input in the new year, and I'll have a look into adjusting your sound settings. Thank you!

This doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles, which is fine with me. I am an intermediate rower at best and found myself out of gas and unmotivated with other programs. This one started on the easier side and is letting me build up endurance at a good pace that doesn’t deter me from getting on the rower 5 days a week. The only con so far is the stroke rate changes are a little clunky. I’d prefer to finish a full stroke and then speed up or slow down as needed, not change mid-way and have to start over.

Thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I've taken your stroke rate feedback on board and see what I can do!
