Review summary

Users praise ErgZone for its reliable Bluetooth connection with Concept2 PM5 devices, intuitive workout programming, and seamless syncing with Concept2 logbook and other platforms. The app offers strong cross-platform support and highly responsive customer service. However, multiple users report occasional workout logging issues, interruptions due to phone screen locking during sessions, and desire a refreshed user interface. Some find subscription pricing to be on the higher side, and a few UI interactions lack intuitiveness without introductions.

Pros

Reliable connection and synchronization with Concept2 PM5 rowing machines.
Intuitive and user-friendly interface with effective workout programming features.
Responsive customer support that quickly fixes bugs.
Cross-platform functionality allowing usage on both Android and iOS devices.
Ability to automatically upload workouts to Concept2 logbook and integration with external platforms like Strava.

Cons

Occasional workout data logging issues and dropped sessions reported, particularly earlier versions.
User interface could benefit from a visual and usability update for better experience.
Issues with phone screen locking during workout sessions causing interruptions.
Subscription pricing and handling may seem expensive and slightly buggy for individual athletes.
Some UI elements, such as clickable icons, could be more intuitive with better user guidance.

2024-12-04	Ti*****	Workout is often dropped. App says "Waiting for idle PM5" and this particular workout never gets uploaded. Never happens on iOS (wife uses iOS app with same rower) Edit: Updated to 5 stars as this bug mentioned above does not happen anymore.

2024-09-21	Ti*****	The best app to program the PM5 and record your workouts, especially in combination with the free RowAlong workouts on YouTube. Only wish that the usability and visuals of the app would receive a makeover and that the few extras of the premium version would be offered at a more accessible price point for individual athletes that don't want to manage groups or publish workouts. App feels expensive for the UX (e.g. lots of scrolling inside series) and subscription handling seems buggy.

2023-11-16	Ch*****	I have an android, been using the app for around 5months now and it's worked great. Went on today, connected fine but after around 30 seconds my phone screen goes dark and eventually locks, it never used to do this whilst connected and in a row. Tried turning my auto lock off to see if it makes a difference but had no success. I haven't changed anything on my phone settings that i know of that could cause this. Any advice? Thanks

2023-01-09	Ju*****	The first and only app I've ever paid for. It improves the functionality of my PM5, tracks workouts, keeps favourites, allows for rapid loading of workouts, measures all sorts of metrics, is easy to use, looks nice, and is cross-compatible across platforms (loaded on Samsung phone and my Ipad). Has a free and paid version, the free version is really good but do yourself a favour and pay for it, totally worth the investment.

2022-06-30	Th*****	Just used this for the first time and it's by far the best app for the C2 rower - better than an app that was going to charge $100 after the trial period! Very intuitive interface and data display during the row, very motivating to see the little pie charts showing progress through the split. Loved how in landscape you see the last split, current split, and next split (to mentally prepare). Upload was perfect. I can go on and on! Where do I make a donation!?

2022-04-15	Ju*****	As a rowing coach and indoor rowing studio owner, ErgZone is by far the best app to use with a Concept2. It gives real-time metrics for all the key components of the rowing stroke. In addition, it give our coaches these metrics in real-time even for rowers rowing remotely. When a client makes a technique change and I can say "there drive legnth went up 10 cm" it makes all the difference. There is no better indoor rowing coaching tool out there. It has taken my rowing/coach to the next level!

2022-04-13	Br*****	I love this app. This is by far the easiest way to program your concept pm5. Plus there are feeds that you can follow to get workouts to pick from if you are looking for inspiration. Online competitions are pretty slick on this platform too. And it uploads your tows to the C2 logbook for you to see all your logs and challenges. For me it's been a Rock solid app. I still use ergData for just rows, but anything programmed I use ErgZone.

2022-03-21	Pa*****	The app you always wanted for your concept2. Let's you setup a workout, downloads it to your pm5, you do it, and it automatically uploads your progress to the concept2 logbook.
