Using coach mode

Coach mode (in the Miscellaneous section of the app settings) is designed to allow CrewNerd to be used in the coaching launch. When coach mode is enabled, the accelerometer is ignored and you can tap on the Row/Paddle screen to check the stroke rate of your crew.

Many coaches report that they find CrewNerd useful for checking the pace of their crews as they drive alongside them in the launch. With custom interval workouts, a coach can plan the sequence of work and rest intervals for their practice and then use CrewNerd to help stick to their plan. On the Row/Paddle screen, the coach can see the time or distance remaining in the current interval. Audible alarms alert them at the end of a work interval, or near the end of a rest interval.
