Psychoride glitchy

It’s great for some concepts but quite glitchy. When I try to connect to Strava, app crashes. I believe it is connected to TP.
There are several situations where backing out of parts of program is challenging to figure out. I like “no fluff” with the app and that it is all training. The data screen does not provide current elevation total which would be nice to track where one is in total climb left. The vert tracking in ride is kinda odd but it’s fine.

Great App

This is the perfect app for me, indoor cycling here in Brisbane Australia is almost never needed. Always warm to hot outside, and usually dry. I use Psychoride with my JetBlack Volt, ride Strava routes of my creation, and watch Youtube videos of the routes that I have previously videoed on a ride. I have yet to work out how to continue a ride that I have ended partway through. That will happen...

Works really well

I just found this app works great with my wahoo kickr v5. The icing on the cake and a gamechanger for me would be to have the ability to load a created gpx file and not just the ones you have previously ridden in Strava. Then it would be 10**

Response from developer

Thank you for the great feedback. We will include the gpx file feature in a future version. Happy Riding !

I wish it worked

Does not recognize my Bluetooth smart trainer. Power meter connects no problem, but the app is useless unless there is trainer control for gradients. Looks like this app could really take off and do well. My advice to developers is find out and fix the issue with recognizing all Bluetooth enabled smart trainers. Also change the name and the icon image, it looks cheap and cheesy.

Response from developer

The current version works with trainers that follow the FiTness Machine Service protocol standard (FTMS), or the Wahoo private standard. Please email us your trainer make and model and we can look into compatibility options.

First use impression

No messing about connecting to Garmin speed and cadence sensors, just peddle and go using bluetooth. Linked to Strava and it pulled in all my saves GPX rides to use. Not tried to connect HRM yet as mine is an old ANT only HRM so next time I'll try mixed Bluetooth / ANT connection using ANT dongle and see how it goes. 1st impression is very good. No log in or account required

Thank you, and glad you are enjoying the app. The app will connect to any Bluetooth BLE heart rate monitor.

Wow

This is the perfect app for me
I have a smart trainer and wanted a free training app that could sustain my interest
I tend to stick to the same route (wreck beach) and have other media on at the sane time
The app is loaded with nice features that are easily visible on both iPad and iPhone; calories, power, distance and current gradient are nicely visible
There are also two tracking systems - your progress on a map and an indicator of when the gradient will change and what to.
I have been using it thrice weekly for 6 months
I had one small issue with it occasionally crashing about 2 months ago and contacted app support - the developer got back to me with and suggested I change the map type (I hadn't realised this was an option) which resolved the issue. He told me that a new version will come out soon with a 3D map - I'm very much looking forward to it
Thanks Psychoride

Lifesaver in the Coronavirus!!!

I found this app during the Coronavirus shut in. Awesome app for bike training and turns your bike into an interesting and great ride while maintains social distancing. Don’t let those lbs grow during the shutdown and download psychoride!

Great app!!

Simple to use for my indoor training - especially during Covid-19. The integration with Strava is a fantastic feature. Would highly recommend!

Simple and effective

Easy to use and quick setup to start a training session . Ability to ride the routes I created on Strava provides full control of my training requirements.

Indoor training

I enjoy the simplicity of the app . Ideal training app for training sessions done while watching TV .
