love all of the progress over the last couple of years! great app!!! I have a recommendation -> improve your in-app branding!!! the guy rowing next to me at the gym saw me using EXR and started searching the app store after his workout (I noticed while I was rowing). I don't think he was able to figure out which app I was using. maybe you need EXR on the screen during row or more unique branding in the app and in the app store. wishing you success!

I love this app. When I got my Merach R50 rower I tried three apps before this, Kinomap, the Merach app and Bitgym and they all had constant connections issues. EXR connects immediately and stays connected. It also has detailed environments that stay interesting. I also appreciate the training options, races and live events. I'm also a sucker for leveling up and unlocking outfits.

Great motivator for rowing but developed intermittent glitch... some days app adjusts my speed down so I can't get over about 9 mph...(I'm usually at around 15, 200s per 500m). I don't know why it happens but it got incrementally worse over a few weeks. Update: after contacting EXR issue is that joroto rower is not in partnership with exr. provided £60 refund, which is appreciated but seems harsh for less than 1 month of use and £90 sub cost.
