User Reviews

CrewNerd is praised for its rich features, customization, and accurate rowing data comparable to specialized hardware. Many users appreciate frequent updates and responsive support. However, some experience issues with tracking stopping in background, inconsistent data (stroke rate, bounce), and setup difficulties. Readability on phone screens and subscription costs also received mixed feedback. Overall, it is regarded as one of the best rowing apps with some room for improvement in reliability and interface.

Pros

Highly customizable display with multiple data outputs relevant to rowing and paddling (stroke rate, pace, heart rate, distance, etc.)
Excellent integration with external accessories like heart rate monitors (Polar, Wahoo)
Frequent updates and very responsive customer support
Accurate tracking comparable to dedicated rowing devices (e.g., NK Speedcoach)
Ability to pre-program workouts with intervals and audio signals

Cons

App sometimes stops tracking or does not work properly in the background causing partial recordings
Settings interface can be confusing or jump around, making setup difficult for some users
Data measurements like stroke rate and bounce can be inconsistent or vary between devices
Screen can be hard to read in bright daylight depending on the phone's display, not the app
Requires monthly subscription after a short free trial, which may deter some users

Great! It works flawlessly and has many features

An*****, 2024-11-08

Works great. Using it for OC1 workouts. I can program whatever the coach throws at me. Time intervals, distance intervals, rest intervals. All the numbers you need are on the screen, time, distance, pace, heart rate, stroke rate.
