Daher ständig falsche Trainingswerte, trotz Abo. Dann Wechsel ich lieber wieder zu Zwift ### 3/5 — Cluttered but does the Trick *2026-07-22* If you need virtual shifting with MyWoosh, this is pretty much your only option. It is an absolutely confusing UI that is too cluttered!If you hang-in there, it does deliver what it promises. Worked for me using it with MyWoosh, JetBlack Victory, Zwift Click and Zwift Cog. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback - always looking for ways to improve the UX. If you have some ideas I'm happy to hear them :) ### 4/5 — Zwift Ride on MyWhoosh - follow up *2026-05-15* With the latest update to BikeControl, the gear indicator on the MyWhoosh screen is now fixed. Good feedback from the developer (Jonas) who tells me he is working with MyWhoosh to fix the other issues. ### 1/5 — Achtung Abo *2026-05-13* Ich dachte es wären einmalig 5€ aber nein Virtuell Shifting kostet monatlich. Schade. **Developer response:** Das ist nicht korrekt - die meisten Trainer unterstützen virtuelles Schalten nativ mit z.B. MyWhoosh, und dann ist das Abo auch nicht nötig zum Schalten. Mehr Informationen findest du im Blog. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work on MyWhoosh, the MyWhooshLink App works better. *2026-05-11* Paid £3.99 for this. My Kickr Core V2 Zwift Click controllers will connect to MyWhoosh when using this, the gear numbers on the screen go up and down, but the difference in the gears are minimal (or it might be the very slight changes in the terrain was creating an impression of change, and there was no resistance change caused by the gears) I was cycling on a (virtual) flat route, and trying to get the gears down low enough so I could cycle at 90rpm, with a low enough power to keep with the group…I couldn’t, even though I put it down to 1. When I used the MyWhooshLink App, without the BikeControl App, the gear changes were larger, and allowed for lower gears. It was also stated, before purchase that Id be able to try the Pro version for one month free, I can find no evidence of that in the app. So I appear to have paid for something that’s useless to me. It would be better if the Basic version were free, there was a free trial month on the pro, and there was a lot more information on the App Store on what you’re actually getting with the basic version. Preferably the basic and pro versions should be sold separately in the App Store. I used version 5.4.2. There was also no way of contacting the developer with questions from within the app. “Support” was a series of FAQs that didn’t address my problem. The screens shown in the App Store preview, are not in the Basic App. The screens in that are frankly quite cluttered, messy, and difficult to understand. They also don’t have the facility to alter the gears, as shown in the preview, that presumably is only available in the subscription Pro version. I have now found out, through reading the reviews elsewhere, that the developer has advised others not to bother using his app with the Zwift Click controllers…however, he is still saying in the App Store that this app will work with MyWhhoosh, and with the Click controllers. Can I have my money back please? ### 1/5 — frustrating *2026-05-07* the odd time it works, it works. trying to use it with mywoosh, and even when they "collabed" it's horrendous. using it with wahoo core. follow all instructions, says it's linked and connected, but virtual shifting doesn;'t work in app. i spent on avg 15 min trying to get it to connect. if i knew this i would have just sucked it up and paid for zwift. latest "update" tries to give you a virtual trainer, fix the original purpose before trying to move on. **Developer response:** so many support options, and App Store reviews are the worst to get help - if you want help, I'm happy to provide it. Based on your description I'm not sure what's going on. ### 3/5 — Zwift click v2 only kinda supported *2026-05-05* Great the the app is getting so many updates but until they can get Zwift Click v2 pairing to be sorted without unlocking in Zwift first, I don’t recommend it. **Developer response:** Tell it to Zwift to remove their firmware restriction! ### 2/5 — Funktionert, aber.. *2026-04-30* Funktionert jetzt wunderbar und unkompliziert mit MyWhoosh. Allerdings hatte ich letztes Jahr 5 Euro für die App bezahlt um die Entwicklung zu unterstützen. Jetzt wurde auf ein Abomodell umgestellt. Könntest du bitte erläutern was ich noch davon habe damals die 5 Euro bezahlt zu haben. **Developer response:** Siehe https://bikecontrol.app/blog/bikecontrol-5-release/ - du hast weiterhin Zugriff auf alle Features, die du bereits gekauft hast. ### 4/5 — Sucks, waste of money as it is. *2026-04-17* This app blows, should be embarrassed! **Developer response:** Very constructive feedback! If you need help, request it :) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-04-03* Perfect app for bridging the gap between propriety hardware and trainer apps (Zwift Click v2 and MyWhoosh in my case). Great combination and great user support. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Não funciona *2026-08-15* Só funcionou uma vez no rouvy, a minha versão é paga. **Developer response:** Next 6.4.3 version will fix a few Rouvy issues. Contact me via in app support for further help & diagnostics. ### 1/5 — Zwift Ride on MyWhoosh - follow up *2026-07-29* With the latest update, the virtual gear display does not work in MyWhoosh, again! ### 1/5 — Dev moved previously paid for features behind a paywall. *2026-07-15* This app was great. I paid $5 for it, but then the dev put several basic features from the $5 paid version behind a paywall: control your music, volume lower, and start any command/shortcut with any button. Why are these behind a $29/year paywall now?! Just sell software once and don’t roll features behind an additional paywall after you already sold them with the initial app fee. Jeez. I would have loved to give this app 5 stars otherwise. This is bait and switch stuff. ### 1/5 — It might just be me but.. *2026-07-12* Four hours of trying to get my setup to work and using BikeControl as a bridge but to no effect. Issues with controllers not staying connected and muddy control when they were. This app might work for some but was a complete waste for me. **Developer response:** Happy to help. ### 1/5 — Mid App *2026-06-13* 6 dollar to purchase the app to look at the interface; subscription fee to use virtual shifting( update:$6 button layout for laptop to make reaching more pleasing, free for sweaty touchscreen user, but optional $3 a month or $30 a year for Zwift click or Bluetooth media user. **Developer response:** Not true at all - if your trainer app already supports Virtual Shifting, then there's no extra cost and Pro is not required. Virtual Shifting through BikeControl is an optional feature. ### 1/5 — Does not work properly *2026-06-10* Too bad does not work properly paid for the apps then subscribe for the pro still doesn’t work **Developer response:** Happy to help via the In-App-Support. ### 1/5 — Unfassbar umständlich *2026-06-08* Mega Idee, leider funktioniert es nur super unzuverlässig trotz des Preises. Aktuell kann ich meine Zwift Click V2 nicht entsperren…Habe keinen Spaß mehr am Training, wenn es dauerhaft nur technische Probleme zu beheben gibt. Zahle lieber wieder die 20€/Monat bei Zwift, als diesen Mist hier weiter zu machen. **Developer response:** Gerade für das Zwift Click V2 Entsperr-Problem habe ich schon eine Lösung parat - ein Entsperren ist dann nicht mehr nötig :) ### 1/5 — No bluetooth option when setting up with ios *2026-05-31* Doesn't work as advertised **Developer response:** Happy to help using the in app support. Bluetooth option does not exist when you select "Same device". iOS (and any device in general) cannot connect to "themselves" via Bluetooth. ### 1/5 — Misleading Pricing *2026-05-30* App requires an additional $3 / month payment to make key features work, ie, TrainingPeaks Virtual shifting with Zwift Play controllers. ### 1/5 — Fonctionne une fois sur deux *2026-05-16* Fonctionne une fois sur deux passe plus de 20 minutes à chaque fois avant de commencer, c’est insupportable **Developer response:** Happy to help via the in app support. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Génial *2026-08-25* Racontez pas de bêtise cette appli fonctionne nickel sur mac avez Whist rider et MyWhoosh ### 5/5 — Bike control *2026-07-23* J’ai acheté bike control il y a quelques mois pour un Zwift click sur un wahoo kickr core 2 et l’installation était au début difficile mais après quelques essaies cela se fait très intuitivement et en cas de problème le support est très réactif. De plus de nouvelle fonctionnalité sont régulièrement ajoutés ce qui est très appréciable ### 5/5 — Top *2026-07-01* Thank you for this amazing app, and thank you for partnering with MyWhoosh! I purchased the Basic Lifetime plan today, and for me, the virtual shifting is all I need. I really hope the app stays as lightweight, simple, and minimalist as it is now. I’m a big fan of stability, ease of use, and clean design, and you’ve done a fantastic job creating this app. I use it on my iPad with a Zwift Bike, Wahoo, and virtual shifting, and the experience has been excellent. Thanks again for your hard work, and I truly hope the app remains ad-free in the future! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback :) ### 5/5 — bridges the gaps *2026-06-28* really nice to use my hardware outside the walled cartoon garden of zwift ### 5/5 — Zwift ride *2026-06-27* Works really well, very helpful support ### 5/5 — Maintenant parfaite *2026-06-26* Maintenant l’application est au point et tout fonctionne parfaitement , les autres avis ne reflètent pas l’état actuel des choses **Developer response:** Thank you, much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Winner for Zwift Ride Owners! *2026-06-25* I love my Zwift Ride but after a year or so I really wanted to migrate over to TPV but I wasn’t a fan of shifting from their app. Enter Bike Control! I’ve had the app for quite some time, patiently waiting for the TPV integration and now that it’s here I have been very happy with the results. The one hiccup I’ve had the developer was super responsive and quickly fixed it. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Super Werkzeug um das Zwift Ride mit MyWhoosh zu nutzen *2026-04-14* Ich verwende Swift Control auf einem Mac um das Zwift Ride mit MyWhoosh zu nutzen. Die Anwendung läuft stabil, Updates kommen regelmässig, die Integration über simulierte Tastatureingaben ist genial, Gangwechsel werden daher in MyWhoosh ohne Verzögerung ausgeführt und angezeigt. Update: Habe es inzwischen über die neue Integration mit OpenBikeControl protocol im Einsatz. Direkte Integration dank einer Partnerschaft mit MyWhoosh. ### 5/5 — Great App and Support *2026-04-11* I started using this app about in Nov 2025 to enable my Di2 shifters on Rouvy for virtual shifting (previously used the Swift Click v1). After I got it set up (with a little help from Jonas) it work like a charm. What a difference it made to my racing experience. No more awkward clicking on the Zwift Click. Since then the app has gone through many updates adding many features. The support is fantastic! I’m using a Mac and every now and then a Mac OS update will cause a hiccup and all I do is send an email and it’s fixed. Great response time. I was more then happy to upgraded to the pro subscription to support development. Love this app and support. ### 5/5 — Great for ROUVY *2026-04-10* Simple to set up and works great with ROUVY. Lets me control virtual shifting in ROUVY using di2 hood buttons or shifters if I change them to dfly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
