Apple ad featuring three c2 ergs...what app is that?

Post by Alissa » April 15th, 2016, 8:35 pm

Just saw this ad:

for the iWatch, which features three c2 ergs. I didn't know what app they were showing, but now think it is "Workout." Doesn't seem to have great reviews, but it does allow you to chose a Rower as your workout.

However while I was looking, I came across an older app, "Metrownome" which looked pretty good. It doesn't seem to have been mentioned here, but allows you to set a rate, and a ratio and then gives you audible cues to allow you tl learn a ratio. I downloaded that, and it seems like it would be really good when you were learning. And also good when you want to try a different ratio. It came with a "default" ratio of 1:3, but allows you to set rates anywhere from 1:10 to 1:1.

Anyone use that one? (And fun to see the commercial. :D )

My rate creeps up and down, especially on longer rows. I use this metronome to help me maintain a rate. http://a.bestmetronome.com/

If you run it with ErgData in the background, ErgData will drop stroke information (only record a fraction of the strokes). Confirmed by Concept2. No fix, working as designed.
