## Review summary

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.
