ErgData 4+

I love the new features, but I'm really looking forward to improved integration with Apple Health for displaying distance and pace, as well as the ability to enter personal details for more accurate burned calories tracking. Also, I've noticed that the heart rate only displays in the app when using my iPhone. This is still unavailable in the iPad app. Considering a competitor app has already achieved this, I believe it's feasible. Once this is included, I'll definitely give the app a 5-star rating.

Using this for Apple rings, HealthKit etc is useless, more so in conjunction with the companion App on Apple Watch is totally pointless as it only gives time, no distance for RowErg or SkiErg, only gives distance for BikeErg so no benefit whatsoever using this over Apple stock workout App for SkiErg and RowErg and doing that means C2 doesn’t mess up all the steps, distance walked or ran and other HealthKit fields, it’s made a total mess of my data. Also find Apple’s stock workout way more accurate when it comes to calorie burning as at least that uses your exact weight and not a 175lb average. Expected a much better 1st party integration over Apple’s stock workout App. Very disappointing after investing a high cost to buy all their machines. Almost passable for just logging with the C2 logbook only although I find using a Flash Drive for this way more reliable as a lot of times this App crashes before saving to logbook so have to manually move from internal Erg memory to Flash Drive anyway to upload to logbook.

Following my last review some time ago, which was submitted not long before the GUI upgrade and more contemporary look and feel, I am happy to say that the app is almost 100% useable for me.
Being picky, I would say that it just lacks a couple of small additions;
1. The ability to save data such as stroke speed/distance per stroke, stroke force etc. These ARE available real time when rowing but then disappear once the results are saved (unless I’ve missed something?).
2. To build upon the recent addition of the real time ‘loop’ course. What would be great is the ability to have real-time racing, along a simulated flat course, much on the same basis as ‘Rowpro’, which I have used in the past, but which is now too unreliable and which Rowpro don’t seem keen on fixing (as there is a whole new product release pending apparently).

Otherwise, the new look is 300% improvement on the old version and the integration with my PM5 is always reliable and seamless.
Results are always promptly saved with equally quick and reliable hook up with the online Concept2 logbook.

All we need now is an improved PM monitor (larger, in colour and with improved graphics to get away from the 1990’s DOS look) would be a good start.
Sorted!
