### 4/5 — To have

*2024-12-15, version 8.3.0*

Sono uno spinner amatoriale e finora questa è l’unica app che senza tanti fronzoli ti offre molti allenamenti gratuiti e con profili ben proporzionati. Credo sia più per prof. che per amatori, peccato, non ci sono aggiornamenti, pagherei volentieri per degli upgrades e soprattutto per poter sincronizzare altre misuratori. Avete chiuso con l’app?

### 4/5 — Awesome app but over complicated session designer

*2024-10-01*

The workout builder need to be simplified an optimized for mobile. I need cue card to be customizable and not just 1 per song. Look at what struct club has done.

### 4/5 — Cool app but it lacks one thing

*2024-09-16, version 8.3.0*

I like that it connects to my echo bike but it doesn’t connect to my watch or my health app.  Fix that and I would give 5 stars.

### 3/5 — Apple Watch doesn’t work

*2024-06-11, version 8.0.7*

App won’t connect to Apple Watch/workouts for HR data. Critical flaw of app.

6/11/24 update: plus 2 stars for the app. A developer actually responded to this review. I truly didn’t expect this actually. It sounds like they’re working on Apple Watch integration - I hope they’re able to figure something out soon.

### 3/5 — Awesome

*2023-09-23, version 7.3.3*

It’s great to have app that tells you to stand and when also suggested RPM 👌

### 5/5 — The best bike workout app that’s out.

*2023-04-29, version 7.2.4*

This bike app is great it has a massive out amount of different rides to chose from and it’s free. If this app wasn’t free I can still see myself paying for it; it’s that good. It has all of the rides and gives you the option to switch things up with their journey rides; spectacular visuals and cues. Keep up with improving the app, intelligent cycling.

### 5/5 — Yet another update that doesn’t

*2023-04-21, version 7.2.4*

Normally an awesome app…
But yet another update where it integration with Spotify is FCUK’d…
Who tests this garbage! Sort it out..
When using Spotify through IC as soon as you hit the iPhone iPad volume button the music in S will pause and completely ruin the sink to the ride profile!

### 4/5 — The settings icon & ? Icons are blocking my sensors from being selected. Please fix

*2023-04-08, version 7.2.0*

Its very annoying on this new update.

### 5/5 — Simply brilliant

*2023-04-05, version 7.0.9*

Completely step changes your spin class. If you’re spinning on a bike with Bluetooth and not using over tech then use it to bench mark your workout. Indoor cycle instructors this is a must!

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2021-06-10, version 5.2.3*

I’ve been using the app for a week now, yes I’ve had a couple of glitches but the team at IC are really quick to respond, but this pushes me every time I jump on the bike. The music choice is great, not that I’m listening through the pain but the beats help push the legs round!! 

Makes a real pleasant change from Zwift. 

Great fun and I’d highly recommend

### 5/5 — Great app for home workouts

*2021-05-14, version 5.2.3*

[Update 1]
Great companion to workout with my Bowflex C6. Took some figuring out, but once you know what the colors and the graphics mean in each workout, it’s great to workout at home. You can connect to the bike’s system to see RPM/Cadence in the app and separately to Bowflex bike’s forearm HR monitor to see your heart rate in the app while working out. 

And I can confirm that it also works with 3rd party music apps and not just Spotify (the app has some sort of native Spotify integration, which I guess plays music that syncs to the effort needed for the workout). Specifically I used it with Jio Saavn without any issues. If you allow it access to your Spotify (even a free account) the workouts sync well with the playlist, including some that count down before Tabata rest and pick up to the upbeat music before Tabata effort (Nice!)

If you allow it to connect to Strava when it asks the first time it will sync properly. If you give it access later it will only start syncing new workouts. I guess the app itself is not natively maintaining any history. 

The app itself doesn’t connect to Apple Health. However if you connect your Strava account, then IC app will sync with Strava, which then can push to Apple Health (provided you give it the access it wants). Roundabout, but at least it works.

Kudos to the Intelligent Cycling team for putting together this awesome app.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2021-04-16, version 5.2.2*

We now have access to so many indoor cycling apps, but I wouldn’t use any except for this one. It is so easy to use, as a rider and for creating my own profiles in Session Designer. As an instructor, it makes my job so much easier, by cutting down the time it takes to create a profile. As a rider, there are so many thousands of rides to choose from. No matter what kind of ride I’m in the mood for, I’ll find it there! And the folks in my classes appreciate having those well-crafted rides at their fingertips too!

### 5/5 — Fantastic tool

*2021-04-15, version 5.2.2*

Super easy to use if you want to follow a ride and an incredible tool for instructors to create and store their class profile library. Allows you to sync profiles with Spotify playlists. You can add cues. With a single click you can change your profile from displaying power to heart rate to RPE. There is nothing else like it on the market that would be so user friendly.

### 1/5 — Sub-par

*2025-02-04, version 8.4.0*

Uses way too much battery. Doesn’t get heart rate from Apple Watch. Delay between Wattbike and app too much.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on the iPad

*2024-12-23, version 8.3.0*

Same login details as my iPhone and the web work fine. Won’t login on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Bad user experience

*2024-11-16, version 8.3.0*

My gym is experimenting with Intelligent-Cycling, and as hard as I’ve tried to ride with it, it’s never worked. Moreover, I’m subjected to a poor on screen ride. I don’t care much about fantasy worlds. Would rather see my bike and its performance against the ride profile.

### 1/5 — Apple Watch doesn’t work

*2024-05-22*

App won’t connect to Apple Watch/workouts for HR data. Critical flaw of app.

**Developer response:** Hi, 

Thank you for your review. We are working on Apple Watch integration. Sadly Apple does not just send signals like other heart rate devices. They have a closed ECO system and require custom app design to work.

/Team IC

### 1/5 — Can’t connect

*2023-11-27, version 7.3.5*

I can’t connect to the spinning class and when I try to pair the bike it doesn’t come up

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to Spotify anymore? No data either

*2020-09-09, version 5.0.3*

???

### 1/5 — Preposterous slow sign up just to use spin bike👎🏻

*2020-03-07, version 3.7.1*

To attend a spin class, compare this with Watt Bike and Keiser bikes, which is: 
A) Get on bike and use great app on bike
Vs This dumb app: 
1. Download this bloated clunky crap app on mobile in gym (IF gym gives you good wi fi or-use your own data allowance for your 3/4/5g access!)
2. Sign up with email. 
3. Go to your email app to confirm email.
4. Go back to this crap app and sign up. 
5. Use crap app on your mobile. 
6. Note how crap app looks old and does not show Watts, heart rate, pedal efficiency. 

This app is for gyms who want to employ untrained instructors to use their sw and poor system for classes and capture email and personal data of all users of the class. 
Real old school - as user friendly and welcome as those annoying apps that you have to use to pay to use different car parks.

### 2/5 — Non va...

*2020-04-28, version 3.9.1*

Va in crash anche con iPhone XR , ho provato a collegare fascia h10 Polar e ogni volta si chiude. Non capisco perché continua ad avere lo stesso problema, nonostante aggiornamento.

### 3/5 — Integration iPhone Health

*2025-09-24, version 8.6.4*

Very useful app for training with I-cycling, but I can’t manage to sync the data with the iPhone Health app.

### 3/5 — System glitches

*2025-01-02, version 8.3.0*

The program stopped after 10 minutes!

### 5/5 — Best training app ever

*2025-05-21, version 8.4.4*

If you like doing stricter indoor training class in a gym etc you will adapt to this quickly. With percentages and variable cadence and wattage you will be pushing with low cadence hard or spinning fast with not much resistance. HEAPS of different work outs and trainers, download and enjoy.

### 5/5 — Can’t believe it’s free

*2024-12-23, version 8.3.0*

This app is genuinely amazing, I actually prefer riding to the app vs going to classes. The music is spot on - there are 100s of official workouts and you can create your own. I am astonished that this is free and has NO ads - it’s amazing in a climate like this to have that accessibility to exercise etc. 

I would give 10 stars if I could.

### 5/5 — Bring the Freeplay to the USA

*2024-08-29, version 8.2.2*

Omg I found you late last night. Where have you been all my life???? I can play music no one else cares for AND make custom spin rides???? It would be fabulous if you can bring the Freeplay to the USA. Or at least something where I can integrate my playlist with some sort of AI so it can automatically create a ride by BPM. That way I can sit less on the computer making a ride for over an hour and more time exercising. I believe that is what your Freeplay does? I’m not sure. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Please don’t ever go away. I love you. I love you. We need you. I love you. You are going to change my life.

Ps please add rowing too!

### 5/5 — so happy

*2024-08-29, version 8.2.2*

so happy you exist! please don't ever leave. I have wanted to make custom spin playlists for years.

### 5/5 — Soho third space

*2024-07-17, version 8.1.8*

Amazing work out fantastic coach Chris Stanton

### 5/5 — Connection issue

*2024-01-27, version 7.3.9*

Hi,

Love the app, workouts are great! The only issue I’m experiencing is that it will not allow me to connect my Wahoo Kickr smart trainer and my cadence sensor at the same time! Only one or the other 😔 If anyone can give me the solution to this problem it would be perfect?

### 5/5 — The best indoor Cycling App

*2024-01-15, version 7.3.9*

This is the best App for indoor cycling that you can find in the App Store, Free with Spotify integration and very goods routines 

Thanks ..

### 5/5 — Amazing Training Partner!

*2024-01-11, version 7.3.9*

Very engaging graphics and ‘intelligent’ training zone system 👌🏽

### 5/5 — Litore fit studio

*2023-10-11, version 7.3.5*

Myself and my clients love this indoor-cycling app. Easy to use a tonnes of rides for all levels!
We highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — The only training partner you need 🤙

*2023-08-08, version 7.2.9*

When you need somebody to have your back, hello Intelligent Cycling 🙏🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️
