User Reviews

SmartRow offers rich, precise rowing data and strong Apple Health/Strava integration, plus flexible interval capabilities and a polished UX. However, recurring issues include missing distance-based intervals, a clunky interval builder, no pause function, frequent connectivity problems, and occasional data inconsistencies (distance and HR). These trends highlight impressive data depth but reliability and usability gaps during longer or more complex workouts.

Pros

Rich, accurate workout data (pace, watts, force curve) with workout logging and seamless Apple Health and Strava integration.
Strong ecosystem integration and data portability, including potential compatibility with Garmin, Zwift, Kinomap/EXR, and easy data export.
Flexible custom interval workouts with multiple intervals and per-interval insights.
Generally reliable basic operation and a polished, Apple‑like UX that makes the app feel easy to use.
Responsive support and ongoing improvements that users praise.

Cons

Distance-based interval support is not available yet and is under development.
Custom interval builder is clunky to use and intervals can reorder or need rebuilding, making workflow awkward.
No pause button during workouts (long sessions require a disruptive Quit/Save flow).
Bluetooth pairing/connectivity issues and occasional repeated reconnects or glitches.
Distance data can be inconsistent with the S4 and heart-rate data/HR syncing can be flaky.

Recent reviews

SmartRow elevates the WaterRower experience with its power meter's ability to accurately show pace and watts along with the force curve for each stroke as opposed to the WaterRower's S4 computer which overestimates the pace by around 10% and does not log workouts. Instead, SmartRow tracks my workout data and pushes it to Apple Health and Strava. I use it with my Apple Watch to see my heart rate and gauge my zones during workouts. The only lacking bit of the software for me is that you cannot create interval workouts that are distance-based, but that feature is apparently under development for iOS. As for accuracy, I'm pulling the same pace/watts at home with the SmartRow device/app on the WaterRower as I do in the gym on a Concept2. The aesthetics and minimal noise from the WaterRower are why I have it at my "home gym" aka living room and SmartRow keeps me on top of my goals by giving me precise data of all my workouts.

The app works great and it’s nice having more data than the standard water rower tracker. I wish I could do interval training based on distance rather than just time. Seems like an easy enough fix. Would also be nice if it could be integrated with garmin.
