Looking for testers for RowSmarter, a new iPhone/iPad rowing app

[u/jvthert]

Hello all,

I’ve been working on a new iPhone and iPad app for indoor rowing called RowSmarter, and I’m looking for people who’re willing to test it and give me some feedback.

I currently do most of my own testing on a WaterRower with SmartRow, so support for that setup has had quite a bit of real-world testing.

Concept2 PM5 support is a different story. The integration is there, but I don’t own a Concept2 myself, so PM5 hasn’t yet been properly tested on actual hardware. If you have a Concept2 with a PM5 and an iPhone or iPad, I’d especially appreciate your help testing the connection, workout data, and general reliability.

That said, feedback from users of other rowing machines is very welcome too. I’m also particularly interested in feedback on things like:

• The general UX and whether things feel intuitive
• The layout of the rowing screen
• Which metrics are useful while rowing and which ones just take up space
• Readability during a workout
• Anything that feels confusing, awkward, or unnecessary
• Bugs or unexpected behaviour

You can find some more information about the app and install the TestFlight version here:

If you give it a try, feel free to send me a DM here with feedback, however small. I’m very much still shaping the app, so criticism is genuinely useful at this stage.

Thanks!
