Cycling Workout Companion User Reviews

Top reviews

Love the app

I have had this app on my iPhone for a while and now I am beginning to use it with my Scosche Heart Rate Monitor on my stationary bike. Fantastic . Love the Zone, calories, time, and HR display . Love the app.

Best cycling app out there

I use this daily and it gives my the information I need to train into zines. I’ve dropped 117 pounds so far because of it.

Misleading

App description does not say “includes in app purchases” but you can basically only use one feature without paying for subscription.

Doesn’t open anymore

Ever since I got my Peloton, this app doesn’t open.

Awesome app

I love this app. It works with my nordictrac bicycle and if I have had a problem the customer service was a great

Thank you!

Cycling workout companion & watchlink

The watchlink pod & the cycling companion app are 2 great products that work well in grabbing your data and making it available to you whilst working out. The cycling app works seamless with the apple watch. Super easy to set up.
Service and support were amazing. They are super prompt in replying to emails.
Love the app and love the service and support. Definitely Two thumbs up from me :)

Doesn’t track heart rate properly

Zones should match heart rate and lower zones burn less calories and receive less points. The app doesn’t track higher heart rates so you can be at 90% HR and it tracks it as a resting rate giving zero points therefore never meeting workout goals. Also, customer service takes forever to reply and and when they do if have additional questions they never respond.

Response from developer

Zones do indeed match your heart rate zones and lower zones do indeed burn less calories and receive less points. Sounds like you have a problem preventing you from getting proper heart rate to the app. You can reach out to us at support@pkfitness.com. We generally respond within 24 hours and are happy to assist via email or a call. Today we have no open tickets in our support queue so you might want to check your spam folder for our reply or send another email to us and we would be happy to get you up and running.

Great app!

I use this app when I am cycling on my Peloton. Super easy to use and a great asset for my workouts. I can now use my Apple Watch to track my heart rate right on my peloton screen. No chest straps! Super convenient! Thank you.

Only needs ONE THING

I’ve been cycling for a very long time and used most every app - this one gets everything I’ve always hoped for to perfection with only ONE missing item: mileage totals for week, month, and year.

This app is the most intuitive, w/the killer UX going on making the best use of Apple Watch screen real estate with effect use of colors and font choices and providing the best set of metrics in a highly ergonomic fashion for a quick glances while engaging in vigorous exercise. I use it every time I mountain bike or hit the spinning bike. THIS APP IS FULFILLS THE PROMISE OF WHAT A GREAT TRACKING APP IS CAPABLE OF DOING!!! (Can you tell I am onboard yet?)

Downsides? It is pricey compared to some of the competition but nobody else gets it right like this app. Now just gimme those mileage totals and we are all good!!!

Great app!

I use this app at least 5 to 6 times a week for indoor cycling, I love the heart rate zones and thanks for adding distance so I can track it. It would be great to add some charts and reporting to show the totals for all weeks and compare progress weekly or monthly. Keep up the great work!

Great device for peloton bike and Apple Watch

I planned to get a heart rate monitor for my peloton bike, but now both me and my girlfriend can use our Apple watches to monitor heart rate without any issue.

Response from developer

Thanks for great review! Love that you guys are sharing the Watch Link. support@pkfitness.com

Peloton must have!

Just ordered this for my Peloton to sync my Apple Watch for the heartbeat. Before this the connection would fail constantly and was very frustrating. This device is simple to set up and stays connected flawlessly! Buy it you won’t regret it. The customer service has been 5 star as well and are very responsive and helpful. All around great!

The best workout app

s. I had issues with each and everyone of them. I just happened to find this app. I have found it easy to use and it works everytime.

Zones

I’m new to this app. I like the app. But what does each zone mean in different color?

Response from developer

The Cycling app models our zones after Peloton's zones since many of our users are Peloton users. Here is a link that describes these zones more. https://support.onepeloton.com/hc/en-us/articles/217019646-Heart-Rate-Zones#:~:text=Our%20Heart%20Rate%20Zones%20feature,rate%20zone%20on%20the%20touchscreen.

Best Ever!!!!!

This app has helped me achieve goals that I have never been able to do before in my life. It has helped me to lose 60+ pounds and continuing. Don’t hesitate to purchase this app!!

Response from developer

Wow! Good for you!!! So great to hear! support@pkfitness.com

Estupenda

Para mi el mejor compañero en mis sesiones de spinning

Best App Ever!

For those exercising on a stationary bike this is the app for you. It’s simple interface and superb features will allow you to monitor, assess and maximize each of your workouts! Love it!

Great app. No issues so far!

I’ve recently entered the world of indoor cycling, and I’ve found that many cycling apps offer a lot of different options that are poorly implemented. This app is very simple with very few options, but everything works great! I wish it would connect to my cadence sensor, but not a big deal overall. I’m just glad it connects to my Apple Watch with no hoops to jump through. Keep up the great work!

Edit: ok, I’ve ran into one small problem. The iPhone mirror heart rate and points do not stay in sync with watch (workout time does stay in sync). So, for example, my heart rate might be 120 on the watch when the iPhone mirror says it is 130. I am currently using an s3 watch, so maybe it might be a hardware limitation. Upgrading to the s6 in a couple weeks, so hopefully this won’t be an issue with the s6.

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting the issue with mirroring. Will check this out and see if we can address it!

Map support needed

Otherwise a perfect app, please add map support to it. Only reason why I switched back to apple fitness app.
