September update 1.48: Keep the beat with Paced Group Rows
read
A new indoor rowing group event type is here: Paced Group Rows! They are the perfect events for anyone who feels energized by good company. Download EXR’s September update, join the first test events and share your experience with us!
The September update will be released gradually over one week for all operating systems. You can check for updates in the App Store/ Play Store or wait until the app updates automatically.
New
Paced Group Rows (beta)
Based on your answers from our user surveys regarding this new event type, we developed Paced Group Rows! This kind of event features some sort of rubberband system: if you row approximately the same speed as the pacer, a visual range assistance will ensure that you stay with the big group of fellow live rowers.
Should you row too fast or too slow, you drop from the group. Get close to the pacer’s speed and group to join it again. Please note that EXR’s visual distance may not match the meters rowed and that you won’t be able to complete routes, lap-based events or segments in Paced Group Rows.
To test this new event type, public test events will be held this month. You can sign up for them, as with any other event, directly from the app or the EXR event website. Feel free to send us your feedback on it via the in-app feedback button in the main menu or our contact form.
