Amazing Products, Amazing Company
App works amazingly well. I tell everyone who would listen how great the rower is for you if you stick with it. The bike and ski erg are just as amazing! They want you to buy and keep these things running to give to your kids when you’re done with them. They are, hands down, the best company in this space. The only bugs you really come across are at gyms where they don’t update the rower software or keep the batteries full. Just goes to show that these machines may need maintenance, but you get back what you put in. In maintenance, as well as exercise.
Daily erg WOD not loading correctly
Been using ErgData since it’s inception with no problem. For the past few weeks, the daily WOD is loading like a straight row not an interval. Very annoying.
Need to fix session syncing to apple fitness
Had a good time with ErgData but unfortunately the session sync to Apple fitness seems very unreliable. I am consistently needing to enter data manually even after reinstalling the app enabling and re-enabling Apple health data several times and clicking through the acceptances. This was not a problem before latest updates
Missing interval data and glitches
The last update has resulted in missing interval analyses, parts of the workout title is missing, Needs a new release to fix.
No longer updates Apple health automatically
It stopped sharing w apple health on 7/15. No settings changed, everything still enabled to share. No data sync
Pounds?!? 🫤
Love it but what happened to being able to show force data in pounds? On rower it now only shows in Newtons.
Garbage
Continually loses connection, complete waste of time. Terrible app.
Simple to Use
Very functional. Shows required health metrics eg calories, heart rate, strokes per minute, etc. Heart rate is inconsistent synced with Polar HR monitor. HR is not continuous but sometimes does an abrupt drop which is not indicative of a true heart rate pattern. Otherwise functions well with iPhone and gives accurate indication of distance and time rowed and maintains an accurate daily log.
Blah
Need better in app analytics
More variety in real time
I like the real time app but could we change the course to the pace times that flow around with us?
Best app from the best American company ever
Receptive to input from users, but works flawlessly until it doesn’t then lo and behold an update is ready for install. Socially conscious company that makes a top notch bombproof product. Can you tell I’m a fan?
now forces an account and login
all to collect personal data. the old app was fine but I foolishly allowed an update just to have this data collection garbage forced on me. Give me the old app back that didnt force data collection.
Best rower, can’t remember HR belt
All good, but always have to press connect for it to find Heart rate belt
Normally awesome but…
Apple Watch integration non existent. Unable to start workouts on Apple Watch or use hrm. Used to be a function now gone.
Connecting and Reporting issues
Workouts stopped reporting to Apple health. It also now takes several attempts to get the just row to respond. It was working great until about a week or two ago.
Amazing
It helps a lot
Wrecked it
Downloaded update and now I can’t use favorites or get the app to work. FFS - don’t you test before rolling out an update
Great machine and great App
Provides a wealth of information and feedback to keep workouts interesting. Easy to use. This App goes a long way towards making solitarily rowing at home into a communal sport. I’d like a little more control of the data available but still an excellent app.
Quit displaying HR
Before it quit, I would wake the Concept2, launch the iPhone ErgData app (set to connect automatically with my home erg), and start rowing. HR from my Apple Watch would show up on my iPhone and the C2 display within a few seconds. Now, nothing. Trying all the online suggestions has given me nothing. Ongoing now for weeks.
syncing to apple health broken with latest update
please fix !! Thanks!
Love it
Been using this app for years- great features, great daily workouts, great interactive features and ranking. -A+++
No longer connecting Apple Watch
I love my rower and the app, but now my Apple Watch will no longer share or register my heart rate. Greatly affects my workout
Drag Factor errors!
Overall, I like the app and use it for every session BUT on my BikeErg it keeps reporting an incorrect drag factor despite checking and calibrating before riding - been happening on and off for weeks - please fix!
Latest update, not synching
After the latest update last night, it is no longer synching with my pm5 to logbook. The workout is in the pm5, it just is not getting sent to ErgData LogBook
ErgData
Erratic connection esp HR.
Love it!
Try it, you’ll not regret it. You’re able to read data clearly while working out. Thanks!
Ergathlon
When completing an Ergathlon, all my concept2 equipment times end up under one piece of equipment, for example, bike and row data ends up under skiing, all data ends up under skiing. Used wired and wireless connections, but no luck. It used to work and now it doesn’t, all devices are using the latest firmware / software
Trying
Rob barden
Was good
Still no connection to apple health or Apple Watch. Used to do it but no longer. Was really good when it worked
Another Issue with latest version ☹️
Latest version doesn’t send heart rate data from Apple Watch through to the App 😣 Please work on regression testing before releasing fixes for one area and breaking another.
Best Erg App
This is the definitive erg app.
Should be much better
It’s 2026, guys - you can surely do better!
Good app
I have been using this app for about 1 year and use it to record workouts and transfer the results to Apple Health. I like it and it works pretty well with both rowers and the bikes. One recent bug is that session results are duplicated when being transferred to Apple Health. And one minor irritation is that the option to rank sessions is somewhat hidden.
Latest update broken
Latest update has broken Apple Health connection. Every update required checking that the connection to Apple Health was selected. This time still selected but nothing syncs.
Custom heart rate bug
If you set a custom heart rate and then select it for a workout, it uses the default numbers for the zone rather than the custom numbers you set.
Amazing!!
Best workout machine!!!
Stopped recording sessions
The app has been working great for years, but over the last few weeks it has stopped recording apple workouts for my erg sessions (via watch), and freezes after the end of each row session trying and failing to sync with the machine
Great app to track data
Does exactly what you need
Fails to update online logbook
Some mornings at the completion of a workout, the upload wheel starts spinning and takes longer than usual then I check the logbook and the workout has not been recorded. My internet connection is perfect and has no issues (I’m watching a live stream on another device) This has been going on for a long time and from the time of day it occurs I wonder if some maintenance operation is happening up on the servers.
Add a friend mode
Add a friend mode. Most simple thing
Concept2 App
C2 makes great products and app is easy to us and connect to PM5
Glitchy
Doesn’t sync, constantly useless.
Pretty good
Ultimately this is my most used app for training and fitness. In terms of helping me achieve my goals on the erg, it does the job. What I would like to see is better Apple Health integration and more features in the Watch app. For example, there is a bug where the connection to Apple Health resets every time i update the Ergdata app, which is extremely annoying. I would also like to see things like heart rate zone tracking on the watch app. Maybe with some haptic feedback to say I’ve left the zone.
Fails to record sometimes.
In a stats driven sport, this fails too often. A few good functions and gimmicks but the connectivity, data sharing and sync-ability is quite poor. The challenges are quite fun. Could do with an overhaul.
Fails to connect to Polar H10 automatically after latest update
My HRM popped up without any issues for every workout for the past year or longer. Now, every time I connect the app to the monitor, I need to manually connect the HRM. There’s no pop-up asking to remember the decision for future workouts either.
Great interface
Seamless and so good with Garmin. Sometimes the HR doesn’t synch properly and i can’t figure how to promote my ranked workouts but otherwise really good.
Sync issues with apple health doesn’t work.
Sync issues with apple health doesn’t work. No matter what you do. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I’ve done a workout on the bike erg over 10 miles. Cycling distance comes back no data. Everything is set up to add data to apple health. The whole thing is broken. Useless!
Good and bad
Have had no trouble connecting to rower, and works as intended. Would like to see a recovery option so you could put in recovery heart rate and then see how long after completion of row to reach target heart rate
The worst
I hate to say it because the Erg itself is premium, it this app is clearly a forgotten afterthought. It won’t connect dependably and if you fluke it, you have to try all over again next time you use the bike. Don’t waste your time just stick with your Garmin.
Roslynn
The drag factor doesn’t save into the logbook now which is frustrating.
