New Garmin or Strava activities are not being synched. A disconnect and reconnect to those platforms doesn‘t fix the problem. Though training status is not useable any longer. Needs a fix please. ### 4/5 — Good, but needs some polish *2026-06-16* I should be able to filter routes: length, elevation change, official routes or community only, resolution support, etc. ### 2/5 — Pretty pointless *2026-03-30* 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. ### 2/5 — App sorely lacking *2026-03-24* 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. ### 4/5 — A very good app, the sound is needed *2026-01-29* Same as the header. I switched to Rouvy from Zwift due to more flexible costs and sense of real cycling. The most important downside is lack of sound ### 2/5 — Disconnected *2025-12-29* 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 ### 3/5 — Français ? *2025-12-01* Je met que 3 étoiles , Companion n’est pas en français ! Heureusement que rouvy l’est !! ### 2/5 — Sehr langsam *2025-11-23* Die App ist vom Aufbau gut, allerdings reagiert sie im Fahr-Modus im ersten Bildschirm (Pause Ride,take snapshot,…) extrem langsam. ### 2/5 — Can be good *2025-11-20* 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. ### 2/5 — Bien mais cher, et les développeurs se fichent de vous *2025-11-15* L’abonnement a augmenté en juillet 2025, de 16 à 20€ ! J’ai écrit aux développeurs pour un problème d’affichage, ça dure depuis deux mois. Ils se moquent de moi, ils me posent toujours les mêmes questions et le problème persiste Pour le prix qu’on paye, on devrait avoir un service de meilleure qualité ### 3/5 — almost useless during rides *2025-10-24* 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… ### 4/5 — Works well - it things to improve *2025-10-14* First of all it works quite good. I like the new statistics overall. There it would be cool to hover with my finger through the days, to see exactly my watt, because the Y axis only is sometimes hard to see, it is more a guess. Actually it would be also nice to have a better overview on workouts, like upcoming intervals. Also, if possible, it would be a gamechanger if I can switch the virtual gears easily in the app, because with the Zwift Click it‘s not working properly. ### 1/5 — Does not load *2025-10-14* Title says it all, app does not move past the first splash screen with the Rouvy logo. ### 3/5 — No pause *2025-09-30* I’m not getting the pause button just stop ### 2/5 — No Trainer Road or Apple Health Integration *2025-09-18* 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. ### 4/5 — No landscape mode *2025-05-06* Portrait mode menu is too small on a phone and during the ride having a landscape option would be great too. Thanx. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless app *2026-06-30* Just an extended Display. No remote control on intensity or ERG mode. ### 1/5 — Alex *2026-05-29* Hopeless. Keeps losing connection during workouts waste of time. DONT BOTHER suport non existent. ### 1/5 — Apple TV Bluetooth expansion *2026-04-17* No way to expand the appleTV limitations for Bluetooth connection like Zwift can. Cmon ROUVY it can’t be that hard to implement it ### 1/5 — No Well-Integrated Companion ... *2026-03-09* 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. ### 1/5 — Application à revoir *2026-01-31* Même Woosh qui est gratuit fait mieux… Rouvy? Sitôt installée, sitôt désinstallé. Cycliste sérieux roulez sur Zwift. ### 1/5 — Nicht mehr zu gebrauchen *2026-01-17* HINWEIS! Meine Aussagen betreffen ausschließlich die TV-App. Nach jeden (!) Update der App müssen alle(!) Einstellungen in der App und alle Geräte neu verbunden werden. Dies ist seit ca. einem Jahr so. Ich habe mehrmals den Support angeschrieben und keine Antwort erhalten. Wenn ihr Bock darauf vor jeder Fahrt 15 Minuten lang die App zu konfigurieren schlagt zu, sonst sucht euch eine andere Plattform. ### 1/5 — Poor feature set *2026-01-10* 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. ### 1/5 — Useless software *2026-01-10* 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! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-04* 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 ### 1/5 — App doesn’t load *2025-11-02* I’ve tried multitude of times to load this app but sadly it fails. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Äußerst zufrieden *2026-08-16* Ich komme von Zwift und Mywhoosh und bin nun bei ROUVY gelandet und geblieben. Die kritischen Rezensionen kann ich nur teilweise nachvollziehen. Bsp.: Bluetooth-Brücke. Zum einen kann diese bei ROUVY über den Trainer hergestellt werden und alternativ sollte man sich überlegen vom Apple TV auf den Mac Mini M4 umzusteigen. Die gesamte Performance ist um Welten besser. Ansonsten tut die App was sie soll - Punkt! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2025-12-29* 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 ### 5/5 — Передача активности в apple health *2025-12-21* Когда будет выполнена интеграция? ### 5/5 — Great companion app! *2025-10-09* 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. ### 5/5 — Au top *2025-04-20* Un peu de mal à comprendre les quelques avis négatifs, l’application est très bien faite et fait le job. Il s’agit de companion, l’application est faite pour vous assister pendant votre course sans avoir à utiliser votre ordinateur, notamment pour démarrer la course, donner des kudos etc. Il y a une autre application appelée « rouvy » téléchargeable sur votre ordi et/ou téléphone, il ne faut donc pas se tromper. Elle est fluide et agréable à utiliser. Effectivement l’application est en anglais mais on est vraiment sur du vocabulaire basic que tout le monde pourra comprendre. ### 5/5 — Useful for workouts and maps *2025-02-11* 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 👍 ### 5/5 — Gute Ergänzung *2025-01-20* Ich finde die App ist eine gute Ergänzung zu der Hauptapp. ### 5/5 — Brill *2024-03-13* So much easier to control then have to have a keyboard/mouse in front just what we needed ### 5/5 — Ein guter Anfang! *2024-02-22* Sehr stabil mit dem neusten Update ### 5/5 — Helpful companion app *2023-12-26* This is a great tool to preview courses/maps for future riding and save them so you can launch them in the game client. In game options are decent, similar to other virtual training apps. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
