User Reviews

Waterrower Connect shows mixed sentiment. The most recurring problems are data sync and cloud integration failures (workouts not saving across devices, broken Strava sync, missing Apple Health data). Stability concerns are frequent: crashes, freezing, and slow UI after updates (OS 18.5 issues, black screens). Users report regressions in UI/features (inability to edit/delete custom workouts, readability issues, save button obscured, tablet problems). Data accuracy issues (power spikes, missed strokes). Premium access is unreliable for some. Some users still value basic stats and the Just Row mode when functioning.

Pros

Just Row mode is enjoyable and useful for focused rowing.
Basic stats are accessible on mobile, offering quick insights.
Some users appreciate Strava/Apple Health integration when data sharing matters.
The widget is helpful for quick visibility of workouts.
Easy to set up your own intervals or programs.

Cons

Data not syncing to cloud across devices; Strava sync and Apple Health data often fail.
App stability suffers: frequent crashes, freezes, and inability to open after OS updates.
UI regressions and feature removals in updates hinder usability (cannot edit/delete custom workouts; small/readability issues; save button obscured by keyboard; tablet incompatibility).
Inaccurate/missing workout data: power spikes, missed strokes, and inconsistent metrics.
Premium/subscription issues and unreliable access to paid content.

Recent reviews

Pairing is genuinely easy — connects quickly to the S4 and to my HRM every time, no dropped connections, no fuss. Once you’re rowing, the stats are excellent: stroke rate, splits, distance, all clean and accurate. Two real gaps. First, there’s no good way to import workout data from other apps back into WaterRower Connect, so if you ever row with a different app for video or classes, your history gets fragmented instead of living in one place. Second, there’s no way to project the app to a TV or larger screen — your only option is buying WaterRower’s own iPad/iPhone mount, which just puts a small screen right on the machine rather than letting you use a big screen you already have. Great hardware, but the app boxes you in.

The app was working reliably to track my rowing intervals during the winter. During yesterday’s row the app crashed multiple times. I’m using an iPad Pro 10.5.
