In short

BoatCoach for rowing & erging is a free rowing app for Android created by Dan Eiref. And this is a perfect way to convert phone.

Highlights

This is now my favorite app on my phone

Exactly what I'm looking for in a rowing app

I use this to convert my phone into a speed coach on the water

Very easy to program a workout

Great support from Dan

Outstanding and useful app

Good improvements over time

Works well with regular updates from the developer

Keep up the good work

Does what you need in a reliable way every time

Pity that the battery life on my phone is terrible

Boat Coach adds some more stuff but not worth hefty fee per user

This has nothing to do with the app itself
