Apple TV Bluetooth expansion
No way to expand the appleTV limitations for Bluetooth connection like Zwift can. Cmon ROUVY it can’t be that hard to implement it
Pretty pointless
This app seems almost pointless. It’s incredibly buggy and most actions direct you to the website, which is frustrating on an iPhone at best. I think I’ll stick to using the iMac app, which is much more intuitive and doesn’t leave me frustrated.
App sorely lacking
The app still feels like a POC. I don’t get the point of it if everything you’re looking to fetch in terms of data like write information for example results in a redirect to their web portal. Also, I don’t even know why you can’t access your favorites from the Companion app either or schedule a ride with the calendar. The route search is weak too—we really need filters.

No Well-Integrated Companion ...
3/9/26: Is going to be a deal-killer. If Rouvy is not really serious about supporting hardware, then they just need to come clean. After reading many of these reviews I begin to wonder if users really understand what a companion app should do. It should act as an intermediary to the primary application running on an TV or computer. In the case of TV this is required since, (for some nutty reason), has chosen to severely limit the number of simultaneous BT connections it can handle. I don't just a connect a trainer, I connect that plus at least 3-4 other devices like a heart rate monitor, and etc. I've got a week of free trial which I'm going to use, but, the companion app needs to be a fully functional, co-productive piece of software, not just another way to look at my meta data. There is not a single mention of this on the Rouvy web site, and it's not included in the votable upgrades, which I find surprising. When you think about the functionality of the companion app, think Zwift. Or don't, and I'll just make sure to tell all of my zwift riding buddies to keep using Zwift, which I will also do. Best of luck.

Poor feature set
No Apple Health integration. They had but removed Apple sign in. No Apple password or any password manager support… I don’t know my password and I don’t want to. No other third party integrations other than Strava.
I prefer ROUVY over Zwift but you guys need to get serious about supporting Apple users.

Useless software
What is reason to constantly advertise something it does not work? Fix it and then talk about. It’s so bad that cannot even get connected to internet!
Very useful
I love the companion. It allows me to do other things like take phone calls, select music, ect. If you try and do that in ROUVY it seems to stop the ride and messes up. The companion is great that way. Plus it is easier to control the ride like pausing. It fills a good gap
Disconnected
I continue to get an icon in the Companion app that says not connected to my Apple TV 4K when I push the Connect button, it says retry then the apps gave me a 3-D barcode which I scanned and all it did was prompt me to download the app I already had
Can be good
Came from SYSTM. This UI misses so many simple and useful features. With so many great routes, I’d like to easily see what I ride before. And when looking at a route before give me some stats like when and how fast previous efforts were.
Doesn’t work
Download the app tried to open it just get stuck on the screen never opens the app. Where are the IT developers fixing the app as it’s so heavily promoted
App doesn’t load
I’ve tried multitude of times to load this app but sadly it fails.
almost useless during rides
Has some training metrics/recovery info that is kind of useful I suppose, but the in-ride functionality is very poor. At a minimum (as Zwift does) it should be able to act as bluetooth bridge so that you can connect to an Apple TV without worrying about the Apple TV limited bluetooth connection issue. Many people prefer to use a power meter/cadence sensor, a heart rate monitor, and a controllable trainer, but this is a problem with the apple TV version. And almost nothing is adjustable on screen with the app, basically some useless emoticon gestures and disappearing your HUD, but then you lose gradient information as the companion app doesn’t provide that. Needs work…

Great companion app!
I wasn’t expecting much as many of the reviews were negative, but it worked really well for me. All the controls I would expect and a real map to follow my progress on. No issues whatsoever.
No pause
I’m not getting the pause button just stop
No Trainer Road or Apple Health Integration
Looks far better than Zwifts but hate that Rouvy doesn’t offer native integration with TrainerRoad like Zwift does. Main reason using Rouvy so little. This app also won’t import your weight and ftp from Apple Health even though available and doesn’t write all the workout data to Apple health even though easy to do so. So have to sync to Strava instead and import from there which is problematic. Also no support for Kickr Ethernet or Kickr handle bar buttons. And in app no option for clubs or chatting like Zwift. Hopefully they resolve these issues so all us Zwift devotees can make the switch.

This seems pointless.
It seems to have the same features as the app.

Not working
Rider
App crashes constantly. Extremely frustrating. I’m about done with app. Not worth the trouble.
Useful for workouts and maps
I use this to start, end and pause rides from my bike. Also tweaking difficulty on workouts and being able to skip to the next step is very handy. The other feature I love is being able to see where I am on a map of the world. Transitioning to Rouvy from years of Zwift this app is really appreciated! Keep on developing Rouvy to be the best and continue to grow subscribers instead of pricing. Thank you 👍

Almost Great
Can browse routes but would be nice to filter.
Having map on while main screen is showing the view is great.
However, if you switch away from app, it goes back to default zoom (maybe background app refresh on phone..)
Very good though on the whole.
