What’s new

Version 1.1.28 · Updated October 23, 2026

NEW - Consistency tile shows how alike your recent stroke curves are, on the water and on the erg, with effort and character variation underneath. - Erg workout board: the Workout tab shows the rep, distance or time to go, your rep split against the target, rate, rest countdown and completed reps in large figures. - Import a session a crew mate recorded for you, using the Import button in the Log. - Offline maps: water you have already viewed now has a map with no signal. - Mixed and Coastal boat types when saving a session. IMPROVEMENTS - Erg stroke curve holds a steady force scale so you can see changes stroke to stroke, and shows Peak At % and Stroke Length in large figures. - Erg force curves are saved more often, so more strokes in a session have a curve. - Session log filter can combine boat type with Mixed and Coastal, for example coastal 2x or mixed 4-. - New Clear filters button in the session log. - The log now opens on Sessions, with Calendar beside it. - The Intervals tab is now called Workout. - Vel Efficiency is no longer a live tile. It's still in the session detail and the analysis. - Updated metric definitions. FIXES - An erg session no longer gets stuck recording if you walk away without ending the workout. A Finish button appears, and the session saves itself after a few minutes of no rowing. - Fixed the Disconnect Erg button overflowing in landscape. - Other minor fixes.
