Draft:EXR (app)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: After several earlier reviews, there is a single secondary source cited. From this I can only conclude that better sources are not available, and that the subject is consequently not notable enough to warrant inclusion. To avoid further reviewer time being expended on this draft, I am therefore now rejecting rather than merely declining this. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:57, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: You need more reliable, third-party sources. Sources associated with the app do not count. QuicoleJR (talk) 15:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

EXR app logo

The EXR App is an indoor rowing application developed by Salty Lemon Entertainment, a game studio based in Antwerp, Belgium. The app integrates gamification elements into indoor rowing, offering a virtual rowing experience that has drawn comparisons to platforms like Zwift. It allows rowers to train in a virtual environment while tracking their performance, catering to both elite athletes and casual users.[1]

Features and Functionality

[edit]

EXR provides an online multiplayer mode (MMO) and structured training programs, enabling rowers worldwide to connect and compete. The app supports various rowing machines with Bluetooth connectivity, expanding accessibility beyond its initial compatibility with Concept2 machines. Users can row through 3D environments while monitoring their real-time performance metrics.

Role in Esports and Digital Rowing

[edit]

In 2023, EXR was featured at the Olympic Esports Week in Singapore as part of a showcase on the digital evolution of rowing. The event highlighted the increasing integration of sports and digital technology, positioning EXR as a tool that makes rowing more accessible and engaging.[2] The app has been part of a broader movement toward digitally enhanced rowing experiences, providing interactive and data-driven training options.
