If you've been seeing app crashes, update iOS (and curse 🍎)
CrewNerd version 5.07 now available for iOS. This update adds support for the Garmin Glo 2 external GPS receiver for improved accuracy and 3x the sample rate of the iPhone for more responsive speed/pace readings. (Tip: be sure to lower your speed smoothing window in the advanced app settings to benefit from the higher sample rate.)
We also improved support for custom courses that start and end at the same location. You now have a 20-second grace period to leave the start/finish area before the app will start looking for you to cross the finish line.
By the way, some of the newer iPhone models have (surprisingly!) regressed in terms of their GPS accuracy compared to earlier models like the 6 & 7. If your speed and distance readings seem a little suspicious, you may want to consider an external GPS receiver. It can make a big difference.

Hi Tony, appreciate your continued work on adding functionality and improving performance of CrewNerd. The phone GPS has been a weak link in performance, at least with my iphones. How much better should I expect this Garmin device to be? How much will it reduce stroke to stroke speed variance?

If you'd like to try out the next version of CrewNerd for Android, you can opt in to the beta test program at the link below.
This update mostly addresses some incompatibilities between the iOS and Android versions. Android now has a "copy" button in the custom interval editor. We also added "meters per stroke" to the detailed CSV export data. And custom courses now work better for courses that start and finish at the same location.
If you have any problems with the beta release, let us know and we'll look into it right away. Thanks for your help!

Just released an update to CrewNerd on iOS. Version 4.64 includes updates for iOS 10 compatibility and fixes a few minor bugs. As part of the iOS 10 work, we were forced to drop support for the iPhone 4. If you use the iPhone 4, CrewNerd will continue to work there, but will no longer be updated.
