Leave a Review Zwift Companion
Love Zwift but a Quick Suggestion!
Zwift is absolutely the best app for indoor cycling, racing, and training. If I could suggest an improvement to the companion app / Zwift app, it would be to allow training rides in the meet up option. For example, my buddy and I would like to do a training ride. I go in and create that training ride via the customization option, and during that meetup, both my buddy and I are both using erg mode to train the same way, but we’d be riding together!Show lessiBrockton
Frustrating
I have had exactly the same problems with the App. Very frustrating when it just won’t open for me to use.FregXH
Essential companion
While it’s possible to use Zwift without the companion app, to me the companion app is absolutely essential to bring out the best in the main app. Joining group runs, competing in races, making turns on the fly and enjoying comaraderie with other Zwifters adds a whole new dimension to my online training. Some have described it as clunky but I simply don’t get that. To me, it’s absolutely intuitive. Good work.Show lessmhs1972
Great when it works...
This is a great app, makes the interaction with zwift so much better but it never seems to connect I tried again when I did my ride today and nothing usually after a minute or so it will connect then disconnect and I will restart the app and it may or may not work. Tried over 7
Times while I was riding tonight and even deleted and reinstalled the app... cmon I can’t be the only one with issuesShow lessUser 45698
Not up to scratch
Firstly let me say I’m a huge Zwift fan and have been for two and bit years. I love the main program but this companion app is frustrating beyond comparison and not up to the high standard you grow to expect from Zwift. It (the ZC app) frequently crashes especially since iOS 13 launched. It’s even more frustrating as it’s needed to boost the BLE connections to the main program if you’re using Apple TV to Zwift, so to have it crashing means you lose data and connections for whatever you’re feeding via the ZC app (in my case a cadence sensor).
It could be so much more than it is, has enormous potential but under realised and poorly supported, the customer support team will point the blame at almost anything else except themselves. I live in hope of a fix, in the meantime; beware of its limitations and if you’re not using it as a companion to the Apple TV I’m sure it’s a great addition to being more social on Zwift. Ride-on!Show lessK1T274
Would be 5 stars but...
Apple Watch pairing for HR is fiddly! Can't understand why you can't just pair at the same time as other equipment. Instead you have to wait for session or workout to start, go to menu in game and it doesn't even pause your workout. Recently, I can pair Watch this way but it perpetually closes the companion app on my watch and I get no heart rate with my rides so am forced to use Workout app on Watch. Apple Watch accounts for half of smart watch sales globally, should be a priority to ensure this remains working. Also, please add the garage to the companion app so I don't have to start a session in order to customise my rider.Show lessJ1MMY_THE_G3NT
So many magical aspects to this App
I can not think of a single instance of why you would ride Zwift and NOT use this app beside your computer. This has lifted the quality of the ride interaction so much. Could not do without the Zwift Companion appCycling Perth
Apple Watch issue
Zwift Companion no longer tracks my heart rate on the Apple Watch. Blue tooth connection lost. No problems before updateGlenda Moss
Does NOT work with Apple Watch
I tried using the zwift app on my iphone as well as the zwift app on my ipad with the companion app on my iphone and neither worked. Both apps connect to Apple Watch on the pairing screen for both running speed and heart rate but neither work. Runner just stands there bot moving and heart rate shows as “- -“. I only downloaded this app because I am looking for a treadmill workout compatible with Apple Watch but this one isn’t it! I spent about 2 hours total trying to get it to work and never did, finally gave up after searching online and finding others saying it never works or if it does, only shortly then disconnects. Seems like others say it works better for cycling but definitely not running!Show lessDre333333
Very good even without smart trainer
Wasn’t sure I wanted to invest in a “smart” trainer so I’m using a wahoo speed sensor and a wahoo cadence sensor. Writing this review to say that this works fine and is a good way to get started without spending $600on a smart trainer if you already own a trainer or need to buy a less expensive trainer. I am riding on my trainer a lot more often using this. If you like the software there is no doubt a smart trainer would enhance the experience and which type of smart trainer would depend on your pocketbook and commitment to training. I suspect many people would be happy with this with an inexpensive trainer and an iPad.Show lessridingmore
