- Workouts are now labeled with the “EXR” tag.
- Option to add notes and edit the title of your session.
We plan on adding routes to Strava uploads later as well.
Avatar animation variations
We’ve added new animation variations to make your avatar more lifelike. They now look around and touch the water when you’re taking a breather.
Support for a new VirtuFit rowing machine
The VirtuFit Elite Air Magnetic rowing machine is now supported.
Improved
Stroke-based rowing machine’s data calculation has been improved when using EXR Split. This affects the following rowing machine brands:
Fixed
- Saving workouts now times out after 1 minute. Retry to save after you get the connection timeout pop-up.
- Fixed supported rowing machines being registered as unsupported devices.
- Fixed bug that prevented rowing machines/ HRMs from manually disconnecting from EXR.
- Fixed faulty pop-up in the warm-up period of the 20-minute FTP test.
