## Description

Elevate your indoor rowing with Rowing Workout for Apple Watch. This app records every stroke, uses measured force to estimate distance, and surfaces precise metrics via HealthKit so you can see calories, heart rate, strokes per minute, and more on your iPhone in real time.

Export workouts to Strava and Concept2 Logbook, compete on GameCenter leaderboards, and connect to PM5 or FTMS-compatible rowers via Bluetooth. Optional subscription unlocks deeper analytics, performance graphs, and cross-session comparisons, while all workouts remain stored in HealthKit for a complete fitness history.

## Review summary

Rowing Workout is praised for easy setup, real-time metrics, and strong Apple Watch/Health integration, with broad support for older rowers. However, data reliability issues (time/distance/SPM inaccuracies) and inconsistent recording are common. Heart rate data integration is lacking, and pricing (subscription) sparks mixed reactions. Overall, the app shows strong value and active development, but reliability and HR/price concerns recur.

### Pros

- Easy to set up and start workouts on iPhone or Apple Watch.
- Real-time feedback with a wide range of metrics and clear readability.
- Excellent Apple Watch/Health integration and works well with older rowers.
- Many users consider the pro version worth it and praise ongoing development.

### Cons

- Metrics (time, distance, strokes per minute) are often inaccurate or inconsistent, with some workouts showing wrong distances.
- Recording reliability issues: workouts sometimes fail to start or be logged correctly.
- Heart rate data is not available from the watch or HR zones aren’t fully integrated, limiting analysis.
- Pricing model (subscription) is contentious; some users want a one-time purchase.
