Perfect smart bike training tool

This is an intuitive and easy to use smart bike training app. Allows you to quickly set up your own rides, easily connects to your smart trainer and is so much more cost effective than the big bike apps. I haven't found an app that allows me to design my own rides as effectively as this so I highly recommend and love this.

Dropbox support not too good

I’ve lost workouts, and I have to log back in to Dropbox after each workout. No fun.

Doesn’t work

Tried this app a few times as a Zwift alternative. It looked ideal for someone like me who only used Zwift for structured workouts.

There are too many bugs and design issues to list. The biggest one, however, is that on my final try the app didn’t even control the trainer.

It could be good if the developer put some time into it

1.3.5 broke ErgMode

This app had been working perfectly for almost two years. Then two days ago the latest release made it unusable. It just freezes when I tap “Start Workout” and eventually crashes. Support website isn’t up either.

Sorry to see this one go.

Response from developer

Hi there, This issue is now resolved. Please let me know if you have further issues.

Perfect alternative to much more expensive options

Works perfectly and new features keep arriving. Developer is amazingly responsive.
