read
As announced at the start of the year, EXR’s February update focuses on refining features and implementing fixes. While this update is relatively small, next month’s release will be great (don’t miss the teaser below)!
The February 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.
Upgrades and fixes:
- Added a counter showing how many routes you have completed per map.
- Added a Basic Task for completing a route for the first time with an in-game notification and 25 X-Coins as a reward as shown in the Session Summary.
- Improved clarity of the main menus (tweaked visuals and animations) including the rework of the route distance visual.
- Reworked the animations of the connection screen.
- Added small performance optimizations in Boston (reinstated vegetation and removed polybrush) including minor visual reworks.
- Added more color options to the "refer-a-friend glasses" reward item.
- EXR sessions now count towards “rowed distance” in Apple Health. To active this, select Apple Health in EXR’s third-party options and allow everything.
- Improved experience when using SmartRow connections.
- Fixed a bug that prevented users from directly connecting EXR to Apple Health.
- Fixed a bug that caused isses with the speed calculation setting.
- Fixed a bug causing a black screen in Private Competition Mode.
What’s coming up with EXR’s March update 1.53:
Here are 3 main features of the upcoming EXR update:
Report rework: All report visuals will be upgraded and the overall UX is going to be improved, giving you not only a cleaner look but also deeper insights into your data.

New Social Report:: The General Report will be replaced by the new Social Report. It will include some exciting new features that many rowers will appreciate.

Extras: Update 1.53 will also feature a number of extra enhancements. One highlight is the addition of a new training zone: the Threshold Zone. This provides better insights for your training plans and improves guidance during indoor rowing sessions.
