Connect to the PM5 on your Concept2 and your fastest, furthest and most recent rows appear in the water beside you.
A number on the monitor tells you how you are going. A boat pulling away from you tells you something you can feel.
Your fastest row, your furthest row and the ones from last week sit in the water at the pace you actually rowed them. Hold position, close the gap, or watch them go.
Wake the PM5, pick it from the list, and YouVsYou reads your row as it happens. Distance, pace and calories come straight off the monitor.
Nothing to log, nothing to type in afterwards, and no second screen to keep an eye on.
Wear an Apple Watch and the YouVsYou watch app sends your beats per minute across as you row. Prefer a chest strap? Use an ANT device connected to your PM5 instead.
Your current rate sits with distance and calories at the bottom of the screen, where you can read it without breaking rhythm.
Replay your last workout at up to ten times speed to see where you faded and where you found something. When it went well, the share card puts the distance, time, pace, heart rate and calories on one image.
Sharing anything is opt-in, every time. Nothing leaves the app on its own.
Portrait keeps the boats stacked ahead of you. Landscape spreads the water out sideways, which suits some cradles better.
Both work the same way, so it comes down to where your phone ends up on the erg.
YouVsYou keeps up to 30 workouts to compare against, and shows you exactly which ones are on record. Delete any of them, and if you delete a highlight, the next best row takes its place.
Turn on iCloud storage and your history follows you to your other devices. Leave it off and everything stays on this one.
A shipwreck, a giant squid, the Nautilus and a few things that should not be on the seabed drift past under your boat as the metres add up.
They are decoration, nothing more. If you would rather have flat water, switch them off in settings.
YouVsYou does not collect, store or process personal information, and you never have to identify yourself to use it. Your workouts live on your device, and in your own iCloud account if you switch that on.
We collect aggregated usage analytics and crash reports to keep the app working. None of it can be tied back to you, and none of it is sold or shared for advertising.
An iPhone and a Concept2 rower with a PM5 performance monitor. YouVsYou connects to the PM5 and reads your row as it happens, so no other hardware or subscription is involved.
Wake the PM5, open YouVsYou and pick your monitor from the PM5 Connection list. It appears by its serial number, for example PM5 530111097 Row. If it does not show up, the help page walks through what to check.
Your fastest and furthest rows are always in the water, along with recent ones, each shown as its own boat with a label. You watch the gap open or close in real time instead of doing arithmetic on a pace boat.
Yes. Use the YouVsYou Apple Watch app, or an ANT heart rate device connected to your PM5. Pick which one to read from under Data Sources in settings.
Yes. YouVsYou writes to HealthKit, so your rows appear in the Fitness app with everything else you do. You can also turn on iCloud storage so your workouts follow you to your other iOS devices.
Up to 30, which is what the app draws on for comparison. You can delete any of them from Manage Workouts, and deleting a highlight may promote another row into its place.
Yes. YouVsYou supports portrait and landscape, so the phone can sit in your Concept2 phone cradle whichever way you prefer.
Things that drift past under your boat as you row: a shipwreck, a giant squid, the Nautilus. They are decorative, and if you find them distracting you can turn them off in settings.
The app is free to download and the first three workouts are free. After that it is a one-time purchase of US$4.99 for lifetime access, with no subscription and no ads.
