Now that said, I really like this rower. It's almost silent, air resistance rowers are probably more realistic but I was worried about lots of noise spreading in my old building. This rower is silent on the flywheel, the only noise is from the movement of the seat and the foot holders squeaking a bit. It's very possible for someone to be rowing and someone else to be watching TV in the same room. It's very solid, not a lot of plastic, and feels great. Assembly was relatively straightforward and not difficult, though I would recommend having two people, it's definitely possible to assemble solo.
Circling back to the app, it's a little janky and overall I would rate it as poor. If you don't pay for the subscription the only thing you can do is a "free row" where it tracks your time and pace and the like. If you pay the $40/month you get some classes and the ability to row to a video of someone out on a river. The river rows are a nice background but really I'd rather just watch Netflix or something while I'm rowing instead. I found the classes to be alright, the music was not to my taste and overall production value was mid range at best. I didn't subscribe past the free trial. Now I use Apple Fitness for $8/month which I find much better or just watch Netflix on my iPad mounted to the rower.
I did a lot of research and for a beginning rower looking for a good home workout, high quality and not too expensive, I think this is the top pick. The ability to just mount a phone or tablet and put whatever you want on while you row is a step above most with built in screens only accessing their own app. Some will brick without internet or an app, this one works fine without either.
Overall highly recommend, all but the most serious rowers looking for a quiet machine won't be disappointed.
Update 1 year later:
Still love the rower. Would not buy the more expensive Rower S with built in screen. Original review was for their simpler Rower with no screen, just a phone/iPad mount. The machine is slightly louder now as the band moves in and out of what would be the flywheel on an air resistance rower. It's still much quieter than an air resistance rower, but louder than first purchase. This is after over a year of pretty heavy use so not terribly unexpected. If you can find it (looks like Amazon only selling the Rower S now) I'd still have to recommend this machine.
I'm rowing 30 minutes 6x a week. Around three weeks in, the rower is performing well. The tension adjustment buttons were working sporadically, until I pushed in the battery in the handle more firmly, and it's been fine since. I like the folding design, it's not hard to move the rower around the room.
Everything was packaged securely, no blemished or damaged components. Assembly wasn't too difficult, a longer wrench with a good handle would have been easier. The device holder works well holding my nude 12.9" iPad Pro (not quite wide enough to fit with the case).
No review of the app or membership program, not interested in the subscription!
When first received:
When the rower arrived, the resistance control did not work, making the entire unit useless. It's stuck on zero, and because the device uses magnetism there's no way to manually/physically adjust the amount of resistance without a working controller. After many calls and emails, I finally got them to mail me a replacement controller piece. I RECEIVED IT TWO MONTHS LATER. During those two months, I was emailing with them once a week. The replacement piece arrived, but would also not communicate with/interface with the rower.
Then I emailed demanding a full refund, and for them to get this hunk of metal out of my house. Then I got someone to send me an entirely new rower (something that they had been unwilling to do in the past). The new rower arrived in about 4 days and worked perfectly. I boxed the defective unit up in that box, emailed customer service, and FedEx came and picked it up (at no cost to me).
So now I've got a working rower that I like, but it took: spending $1,000 on the rower and $400 on the yearly app subscription, and about 2 1/2 months of stress dealing with the customer service department.
That being said, the rower works great. Some things you should know:
You have to add a device (preferably an iPad or tablet) to see any kind of readout.
The resistance control will work without an iPad, but it just beeps when you go up or down; there's no way to tell what number or level you are on. With the tablet, you can see all kinds of information: resistance level, calories, distance, etc.
But in a couple of weeks, doing just 20min a day, 5 days a week, I've lost about 7 pounds, so that's pretty good.
I'm not as enthusiastic about the Echelon app, and decided not to use it after a brief period. I didn't think that the instructors were nearly as good as the instructors on the two other devices where I have subscriptions (Peloton and The Mirror) -- in terms of quality, quantity, variety, or anything else I can think of. I ended up subscribing to Apple Fitness +, which has rowing as one of many programs, and costs roughly 1/4th as much as an Echelon subscription and, at the same time, seemed like much higher quality instruction to me. You don't get the same stats, but you basically row at the same pace as the instructor, adjust the tension as appropriate for you, and monitor your heartbeat and calories to see how you're doing. Even if the costs were the same, I'd prefer the Apple Fitness + instructors, but at 1/4 the cost, I thought changing was a no-brainer. Overall, my view is it's an outstanding machine but there are better alternatives than the Echelon app.

Amazon needs to reconsider its delivery company. I first ordered a machine and it did not arrive on the expected delivery date. I contacted Amazon and without hesitation they ordered me another one.
The first one arrived a week after the delivery date. The second one has vanished. My intention was to return it however, I cannot return what never arrived. All attempts to contact the shipping company have gone unanswered. There are hundreds of poor reviews about the delivery company on the BBB website.
Amazon was excellent in their responses. The machine is great. But all this is predicated on the people charged with delivery, actually deliver the product.
