(both water & indoors). GoRow allows you to maintain a workout log,
plan your training, analyse your recent workouts and set personal
targets, all within your iPhone.
Entry of workout data is quick & easy and you can see all the
important information at a glance. Tapping on a workout instantly
displays more detailed information calculated from that workout.
Workouts are organised according to week and planning your workouts is
as simple as entering a workout with a date in the future. Tapping the
Sync button synchronises your entire workout logbook with the Concept2
online log. This works both ways so you can still enter workouts
online or via other mechanisms if you wish.
GoRow also analyses your data in various ways, it can produce charts
for your recent workout times over many different distances. On the
same chart are displayed your target times & the trend of your recent
workouts. The trend-line attempts to show you how your times are
improving and lets you figure out what paces & distances you should be
aiming for. Charts can also show the spread of either paces or
distances for your recent workouts, this lets you see how you've been
working out and where you've been focussing your effort.
The calculators section of GoRow brings together in one place many of
the rowing specific calculators that previously have been spread
around on various websites, it contains:
* Average Split (of many splits)
* Watts to Pace converter (and vice-versa).
* Stroke Power Index (some people find it useful).
* Distance Per Stroke (given time, distance & SPM)
* Target Pace (from distance & time).
* 2K Time from Watts.
* VO2Max calculator (same as on Concept2.com)
* Predicted time (Pauls law)
* Weight adjustment (For OTW rowers)
* Body Mass Index
* Basal Metabolic Rate (to workout how many calories you need per
day).
* Row Calories (estimated calories expended during a row).
* Target Distance (given a pace and duration).
On appropriate calculators, you can set a personal target with a
single tap after you've calculated what pace/time/distance you want to
set it at. The Targets list is a set of distances and/or times that
are set to the points you're aiming for in your training (e.g. sub-7
2K). GoRow will monitor how well you're doing and calculate an
estimated completion date for that target based on your recent
workouts.
GoRow brings together a large set of rowing resources and packages it
in a handy App complete with synchronisation to the popular
Concept2.com online log. There is also a one-tap Personal Bests banner
to search through all your workouts and create an image for use in
online forums such as the Concept2 forums. And finally, GoRow is being
actively developed, so if you think of anything you would like in the
next version of GoRow, contact Steve Tickle via in...@gorow.net and
he'll do his best to help you out.

Well after having a look at the App Store on my iPod Touch my first
piece of advice would be to provide a free "lite" or demo version!
£4.99 is a significant amount of money for an app (the sweet point for
an impulse purchase seems to be £0.79 - £2.99) so in order to
encourage sales at this price you should really provide a demo so
people can try it out and see if it is actually useful as a training
tool.
