I started off with CrewNerd Lite to see if the app was worth the price After a few rows I opted into the full version of CrewNerd and was initially very impressed I liked the support for my Polar H7 which coupled with the tailorable Row Paddle page allowed me to see my strokes per minute SPM and heart rate in BPM Unfortunately the SPM and BPM are now working sporadically which leads to a frustrating workout especially when your coach is telling you to keep a specific SPM             Inconsistent Performance Manchild93

So helpful I use it almost everyday at crew practice                     Amazing Saymar99

This app works wonderfully It does all the things that the dedicated SpeedCoach devices do for a fraction of the cost Very accurate with my splits and stroke rate Works great with my Bluetooth HRM Love that it logs all the workout data for transfer to a computer Something for the future I would like to see is the stroke ratio but not really needed                     Great rowing app Mike S D

Worked great out of the box I had a few kinks when I added Bad Elf Pro gps device and updates to software a couple of times but I was able to iron out those issues using the troubleshooting help available on the app website The troubleshooting help area of the site is really easy to use and thorough Very often the developer of the app is a major part of the conversation and walks through layers of potential fixes until the problem is fixed I was able to fix the issues I was having easily similar issue easily searchable and fix was clearly explained Plus the app is an excellent rowing tool I m finding new ways to incorporate it into my training ways not previously possible with a traditional speed coach There are many more stroke details available with the device and the access to these meaningful measures while on the water is improving all the time Plus I m getting better at knowing how to use the data I use the app every time I row I have been using it for two years                     Excellent HouSally

Thanks for the continuous thoughtful upgrades                     Great App McCoy of Planet Earth

Does what it is supposed to do reliably                     Excellent app MartinOfOrcas

Yes still pricey yes still doesn t upload to Concept2 or to multiple sport apps more commonly used in the US such as Runkeeper or MapMyFitness It does sync with MapMyTracks quite nicely I m also using the Wahoo Bluetooth heart rate monitor with it Forget the recommendations to use the NK soft pouch if you value your iPhone get a case from Lifeproof and stick it to your scull with velcro The soft pouches I didn t have one from NK get near invisible punctures although my phone still survived the water inside the pouch                 Still great 2seat

I am a totally blind rower and for years had no way of getting any feedback except from others in the boat which doesn t work in my single Now with SpeedCoach Mobile and the VoiceOver setttings I have my OWN SpeedCoach and it is AWESOME I have even had interest from my sighted friends who don t want to look down at the SpeedCoach all the time and so they are looking at getting this app just because it has VoiceOver Thanks so much for the developer Tony for making this possible and for considering ways to make it possible for me to race my single with little to no assistance I really cannot express in words how wonderful this is                     This app speaks to me CindyWandFaunaTheGuideDog

I started rowing 6 months ago and am now flat moving a hot little racing shell a 1x I decided it was time to figure out what was really going on This does it I am looking for gold in a head race and this helps me figure out very much what I do that allows the boat to go faster and what I do that slows it down And I am old                     Best 50bucks I ever spent WiliamM108

Enjoy the app but really needs graph like NK unit has Too much info and no way to review it             No Graph SRLewis

UPDATE June 3 working again Developer is VERY responsive I un and re installed it I love the app I really hope it keeps working with no crashing UPDATE June 2 after working when I updated to the latest version of the phone s OS it is now back to crashing It is very frustrating I do not want a refund I want it to work 1st review Crashing I tried using it when I bought it a couple of months ago The stroke rate never appeared I gave up Tried again today and it crashes after opening multiple times I am not happy                     Love what it does PA rower

I ve now logged 1000 s of km with the SpeedCoach mobile in singles doubles and quads Ive had it installed on iPhone 3G and currently iPhone 4 It has never let me down The file export options are many and the ability to choose between a range of workouts or program your own works very well The speed and stroke rate is bang on although the latter tend to go a bit funky at very low ratings below 12 14 spm I could probably fix it in the settings but I don t spend that much time at 12 spm that I bother I use the app and phone with the NK case which gets a bit hot on sunny days but it hasn t been an issue yet I really love this app it s helped my rowing a lot                     Used for 1 5 years Great App GreatDane71

Use it for sculling coxing and sculling Very helpful                     Great app Pamm44

Expensive but admittedly specialized I love the ability to map my rowing route in addition to tracking stroke rate etc                     Great App Bluewombat

I applaud Nielsen Kellerman for offering the SpeedCoach app for the iPhone Combined with the water tight pouch this app works better than the old conventional SpeedCoaches before It is great that I can use my iPhone with the SpeedCoach in any boat No need for wiring or the impeller It is clearly visible in the dark It makes more data available than previous instruments such as the check and the bounce factors One draw back I wish it were possible to temporarily disable the phone or text messaging while rowing with the SpeedCoach It s kind of distracting to get a message or phone call in the middle of the workout Maybe it s actually possible to do that except that I haven t figured it out yet                     Highly recommended Clemens1961

Absolutely love it So many features Love the upload capability can really study my performance The satellite mapping feature is also amazing The custom workout interface is a little tricky but with practice you can program almost any workout And incredibly reasonable compared to a dedicated stroke coach device                     Incredibly versatile app Mark Rothman

Very easy precise and indispensable I really can t go to the water without my iPhone speed coach Worth the money I paid for it                     Can t row without it Scibrasile

I did a sculling camp and needed a speedcoach so this seemed to make the most sense After mounting it on the boat be sure to think about this part prior to buying it and enclosing it in a plastic bag it was perfect It gave out splits when I needed it but rate jumped a little in rough water as it thought that my oars hitting waves was a stroke I d definitely recommend it for others so long as they think about mounting and waterproofing first                     It s a speedcoach Lkjkjyjnv

US Rowing s 2011 Rules of Rowing now allow your iPhone with this app to be used in registered regattas Just make sure you have a good waterproof case and you securely mount it in your shell duct tape is a wonderful thing Yes it s not cheap until you look at the alternatives Works in any shell your club has accurate rates and distances even when you re not on a Class A fully buoyed course and it tracks everything you do A serious app for serious towers                     Great just get a good waterproof case REZ2

Well done Very useful                     Massively useful outerlimits

I m a novice sculler who cannot afford the high end dedicated NK Speed Coach s Not a problem this application absolutely rocks It certainly exceeds my expectations and Tony does an incredible job of being responsive to his buyers both by his continuing develpment of the application e g it now will record check and bounce but also by his rapid written responses to questions asked of him on how better to use the application Support and development are superb I am just a very satisfied user and I m not on his payroll anthony semone                     Outstanding app tonylfi

This SpeedCoach Mobile is the coolest thing The ability to take your speedcoach with you wherever you row and use it in whatever you row or paddle without having to worry about whether the boat is wired and has a functional impeller is an amazing freedom The cost is completely worth it especially considering that the alternative device the conventional wired Speedcoach costs 3 times as much and doesn t even include the wiring The data is impressively accurate As a tip for other users who may not have read the User Guide and want a more accurate real time split there is a speed smoothing window that can be adjusted to compensate for GPS errors The larger the window up to 130meters the less fluctuation in speeds Default is 80meters I d also like to point out the display is so much better than the old NK speedcoaches especially when you row in the dark at 5am like I do One more thing I love being able to see my workouts graphed mapped and analyzed on Facebook and I like the fact that I have all my practices in one place to compare                     Best app ever Lil' Lightweight

So I paid the ransom Lets face it 65 for an app is more than we are used to paying Im not sure who wrote those other reviews but it would seem they work for NK Lets start with the pros Its accurate If you want to measure a 2000 meter course this will be pretty much right on or at least as close as you will ever need to be So for total distance and time and thus ave 500 it is great So to run your interval workouts it will work too A major plus is the check and bounce meter 20 years of rowing and I have never seen that Go ahead and back those blades in too much and you actually start increasing check It takes just the right amount Neat BTW NK why didnt you think of that in your old school coaches As for the cons number one and the only point in my review that matters IT IS NOT ACCURATE FOR YOUR CURRENT SPLIT 500 The reason for this isn t NKs fault GPS is accurate 6 feet or so Intentionally scrambled per the US military to give our troops the edge Other running and biking programs have the same current spedometer problems Good enough to measure a 2k course But not so for these 3 strokes compared with the last 3 Example With a green gps lock on a wide open reservoir I m rowing at a constant speed my old school speed coach is staying right at 2 30 and my iphone might say 2 13 then 2 39 At the end of the row the averages are the same as then the iphone is using total distance and time but what you really need a speed coach for is what you are rowing NOW Its like being on the erg with no splits So basically useless in the way most of us use a speed coach This limitation is not NKs fault but CHARGING 65 FOR A USELESS SPEED COACH IS My advice get a free running or biking app and calibrate your impeller driven speed coach This app isnt worth the         Not so great Qgradek

This is the best training tool I have come across in 20 years of racing kayaks It is easy to use and gives you plenty of data Being able to see my stroke rate speed and distance at once makes it easy to work on efficiency and technique I just wish this was available 10 years ago                     Just one word AWESOME KayakTime

This app turns your iPhone into the ultimate rowing computer It s easy to use and works great Very accurate and records all of your workouts It s also easy to setup your own workouts and execute them on the water with visual and audible prompts Looks great as well Additionally the ability to upload your workouts to the facebook application is an excellent feature The graphs of your workout data allow you to get a good sense of how your workout went Also being able to view your course on google maps is a unique feature                     Great Rowing Companion OhHeyHans

This app is the most beneficial user friendly and accurate data collector for rowing that i have worked with yet The SpeedCoach Mobile is at the top of its category in gathering quantitative feedback and it is incredibly beneficial to use this information to enhance training make technical changes and offer instantaneous personal feedback The key feature for me The cordless mobility SpeedCoach Mobile has all the capabilities of a regular speed coach without having to deal with the rusted fraying wires and bent unaccurate empellers The display is very user friendly and adjustable You can choose what type of data you would like to see whether it be time and meters rate and splits 500 strokes taken and time all of the above etc What has been especially beneficial to me and my team is the easy instant on the water feedback the SpeedCoach allows If we are doing three 2000meter pieces after each piece we check our time and splits immediately and discuss how we can improve speed off of that information These pieces were used to analyze a switch of our two seat to determine the varsity lineup It is incredibly interesting to see the change in avg 500 right after a piece on the water This is the more effective and incredible training app                     Incredible grimaldicoxswain

I am giddy about a lot of the goodies you can download to your iPhone but SpeedCoach Mobile takes the cake for me I have spent a lot of hours in the single with my iPhone in a waterproof container running this excellent application I have also spent many hours using a classic NK Speedcoach and this thing does real justice to the product line One of the greatest features you cut all the cords No more impellers getting bent no more wires flopping around the boat no more short battery life you are likely to keep charging your phone on a daily basis The display is fantastic and well organized I row all winter in the dark and the graphics are crystal clear You have a lot of flexibility with what you display You can position your phone in either landscape or portrait orientation auto adjust with the accelerometer Audibles are useful and easy to hear I have done several comparisons to GPS performance versus Garmin 201s and the speed of feedback and accuracy are improved Operations are intuitive rather than cryptic standard workouts useful rather than useless and functionality reliable rather than dubious Perhaps one of the most satisfying features is getting back to the dock tapping the upload button and immediately uploading your workouts to your Facebook page for easy viewing and sharing You cannot beat this setup for sharing your workouts with boatmates and coaches I don t get too excited about much but I am truly excited about this excellent application If you are a rower and you own an iPhone this is an inexpensive must have If you don t have an iPhone get one if for nothing else than to own this app Catch you later                     This app is a power Ten Yeeeouch
