### 1/5 — Such a POS

*2026-08-08, version 4.6.7*

Somebody needs to fire these developers. This app has been trash ever since it started. I still have no idea how anybody pays this company money. Complete inconsistencies across Mobile, Apple TV, app crashes, virtual remotes are useless, none of the main features work. Avoid this technology like the plague

### 3/5 — Not saving ride

*2026-08-07, version 4.6.7*

Used ROUVY for over a year and never had a problem until lately when ROUVY has stopped recording the time ridden and I’m getting a message saying there was a problem, and the ride I did tonight I beat my pb app told me I’d beat it then when I go to analyse ride I get the previous time with the there was a problem message, not happy because I’m not gaining any xp so will be cancelling when I’m due for renewal

### 2/5 — Nice in theory but app constantly crashes.

*2026-08-03, version 4.6.7*

I have not successfully made it to the end of one single hour long workout yet because the app constantly crashes. The app constantly logs you out for no reason and you have to use the truly diabolical landscape keyboard to log back in. And the landscape keyboard covers the entry field when you type. It would appear the developers have spent considerable time on an expensed work trip to some of the nicest cycling locations they could think of. But nobody actually bothered to check if the app is functional.

### 3/5 — Preferred app but CRASHES frequently

*2026-08-02, version 4.6.7*

ROUVY is very much my preferred indoor program, except that it crashes frequently and sometimes when well into a ride or workout, which is very frustrating.  If/when the problem is ever fixed, I’ll bump my score up to 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Continuous Improvement

*2026-07-31, version 4.6.7*

It’s remarkable to see an organisation with such a wholehearted, consistent approach to continuous improvement. Chapeau!

### 5/5 — I need Korean language

*2026-07-17*

즈위프트보다 훨씬 좋은데 한국어 지원이 안되는 게 너무 아쉬움.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback 💜 We're still expanding the range of languages, so hopefully one day 🙌🏻

### 5/5 — Virtual racing

*2026-07-15, version 4.6.6*

Very sick virtual racing app. The closer the other bikers get the more you have to keep up the pace.

### 1/5 — Somebody please fire these developers

*2026-07-11, version 4.6.6*

I’ve never seen a sloppier user interface in my life. Functions do not work in Apple TV, buttons and user interface or impossible to read unless you pens in Zoom, which of course you cannot do in a native app. Who is Green Lighting these updates?

### 5/5 — Love/Hate Relationship is Now Mostly Love

*2026-07-10, version 4.6.6*

I used to have lots of issues with ROUVY - for example crashes at the end of long climbs. But with the last two updates the crashes are gone. The virtual pace partners are much better too so I have buddies to draft off of just like in real life. There’s lots of challenges to keep you motivated and levelling up.

### 1/5 — Sound is broken

*2026-07-05, version 4.6.3*

Or just doesn’t exist? I could see no options to adjust ambient sound. What’s the point if a video of you have to experience it as a dead person. At least they could add ambient tracks and positional audio for vehicles/bikes passing by.
