Amazing app turns my Echelon into a Peloton!
This one app has amplified my experience on my Echelon Sport beyond anything I could have imagined. I now regularly do Power Zone rides and have all the data I need at my fingertips. This app makes me feel like a genius for not having laid out thousand of dollars on a Peloton. And on top of the app being amazing, the community is that’s formed around the developer Roberto is second to none. I never write reviews, but the app is on another level!Show lessLo-vermont
Brilliant App by a hard working developer
Great app that transforms the way in which you can use a spin bike for exercise. You can use apps such as Zwift, RGT with Echelon bikes. Additionally, most of the Peloton experience is unlocked on many spin bikes allowing the saving of lots of money as the Peloton app sub can be used as well.
The developer maintains an active Facebook group where he often will personally support users. Active members are invited to join the beta program for the price of a coffee to test new functionality. Given the low price of entry, this is amazing value and the cost saving over expensive subs makes it very worthwhile.
New releases are every few months which is big feature releases. Excellent.Show lessttivalien
Combine Echelon or Schwinn with Peloton
This app is amazing. It can calculate and translate the resistance levels from various bikes to Peloton equivalents. It can connect your bike to the Peloton app so you get cadence and HR displayed in the Peloton app even if you are riding an EX3/EX5 or Schwinn IC4/Bowflex C6. And if you have an Echelon bike with motor driven resistance, such as the EX3/EX4/EX5 or higher, it can automatically follow the suggested resistance level from the Peloton app. Takes the home workout to another level.Show lessciomekd
Great app!!
I use a Echelon Sport and this app helps you get really close to the Peloton experience for a fraction of the cost. If you have upgraded models like the X3, X5 you can even get autoresistance like the Peloton Bike+. I don’t even use the Echelon app, just this app. Roberto is willing to answer all your questions. I cant believe it’s just $4 for all that offers!Show lessPam0902
Genius for zwifting on ‘smart’ exercise bike
Cannot rate highly enough! Was at my wits end when riding my Bluefin exercise bike on zwift, I was about to buy power meter pedals at cost of £££ because pairing normally seemed to set resistance too low and everyone was passing me - using this app allows me to increase resistance above where zwift sets it which increased my avatar speed! :D Makes it more realistic. However zwift seems to ‘fight’ it and turn it down again but I can live with it. Maybe it could ‘latch’ the resistance setting somehow. Thanks Robert brilliant appShow lessPeetpeetpeet
A great app
I have an echelon bought after a Daily Telegraph (UK) review. Of course no one tells you that no other software can be used but Echelon’s. This app allows you to use Zwift. I was on the point of scrapping my bike and buying another. Now all problems solved. In addition Roberto Viola is very helpful if you like me initially struggled to fine tune the app.Show lessHappyMamil
Does not work well with Horizon AT Treadmill
I really wanted to like this app, but there are a number of things that are problematic. Firstly, it creates a whole new set of users on my treadmill (Aian, Megha, Darp, Ahona) erasing the users I already had configured. Secondly, it starts running the treadmill without me telling it to do so; it does so at a slow speed, but its unexpected and problematic just the same. Lastly, it doesn’t seem to automatically adjust the elevation while connected to and running with Zwift, which is the main reason I got it. Would raise to 4 or 5 stars if it didn’t change my users and didn’t automatically start running the treadmill after a few seconds.Show lessrafelop

Hi rafelop write me an email to Roberto.viola83@gmail.com and I will explain how to make it works. Write a review of 2 stars without contacting the developer it's not fairWorks perfectly with Echelon Connect Sport!
I was a little hesitant to buy with no trial since I wasn’t sure if it would work… but this app does exactly what it says. Connected immediately to my Echelon Connect Sport (the walmart version) and displayed all the proper stats.
For me the main benefit is it saves me logging into the Echelon app just to see simple numbers like cadence and resistance (the connect sport has no display of its own so you otherwise have to fiddle with the utterly terrible Echelon app every time you just want to ride).
The UX is not going to win any awards but that’s not the point. It does exactly what it needs to. The “tiles” of todays it shows by default are a little much, customizing them is a little clunky but I highly recommend taking the time since it’s a one time investment and the app will remember. I have mine set to only display two things (cadence and resistance) which is all I need or want.
Huge thank you to the developer. This app is a A+ example of why independent developers doing random cool #&$@ make the App Store amazing.Show lessLanoitarus

Thanks so much! You got exactly the point of QZ!Support for treadmills not supported by Zwift
Update on Dec. 20, 2021 At first, this app did not support very well the Echelon Stride. But the developer contacted me and the upcoming version 2.9 will support it properly. I must commend the attitude of Roberto Viola who rapidly modified the QZ app so it can take in charge the Echelon Stride properly. Great work! Now I can enjoy Zwift on the Stride.Show lessDoc_Avid

Write me to Roberto.viola83@gmail.com and I will help you! Leaving a 1 start review doesn't fix the issue :)A Must Have!
Recently purchased the Echelon Sport and this app is a must have to go with it. I use my bike with Peloton classes and it does all the converting for me. I’m already working hard enough, no need to be converting and worrying about extras on top of a workout. I made my viewing tiles (hr, resistance, cadence, etc. ) when working out minimal, but love that I can add in so many different options. Customer service is top notch if you need help too. An absolute gem of an app!Show lesscfp416
