Suggest Categorise workouts or let user copy to my w/outs or allow user favourites. ### 4/5 — room for improvement *2026-08-25, version 4.85.3* very good but the font in main screen for training is too small . ### 3/5 — Keeps buffering *2026-08-15, version 4.84.3* I like the video but every 10secs buffers ### 3/5 — Impressões *2026-08-07* Acho a usabilidade complicada, tem boas funções mas é bem difícil de configurar o básico . **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. We will take this feedback with us to improve the app. ### 3/5 — Ellipsis too close to training settings *2026-07-30, version 4.84.3* When using an iPhone, It is very, very difficult to stop the session without touching the training settings. ### 4/5 — Display *2026-07-29, version 4.84.3* Focus on just the numbers. Imagine your HR IS 170+ and you are trying to read it. Also—make it easier to decelerate from an interval. ### 2/5 — Tacx Training App *2026-07-29, version 4.84.3* I like the app and like the larger graphic screen but real time distance has stopped working since the latest update. All other parameters work real time and final distance, when saving workout, is working showing anticipated distance so ‘it know’ the distance but doesn’t show the distance correctly real time thanks ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2026-07-27, version 4.84.3* Pairs well with the trainer but the app shutdown mid workout and then couldn’t restart the ride. Need to be able to pick up and restart the workout ### 4/5 — David Jones *2026-07-06, version 4.82.2* Very repeatable, you can control all the major factors, power, time, pulse rate. Very safe way of training.All good. ### 3/5 — Small display *2026-07-02, version 4.83.2* Active workout display arrangement is now smaller- can’t see it without eyeglasses ### 4/5 — Vibe coded slop *2026-06-30, version 4.83.2* This app has so many bugs I don’t even know where to begin. It use to be serviceable and now it’s just a nightmare. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tiny font *2026-08-30, version 4.85.3* Spend all this o money in a trainer and can’t see the font they use; a lot of blank screen space too ### 1/5 — Update issue *2026-08-30, version 4.85.3* So I had to update the app and now this new version does not include the Boost sensor . Great , thanks Garmin . Subscription about to be cancelled ### 1/5 — Products are not integrated *2026-08-30, version 4.85.3* When you own a Garmin TACX Neo+ indoor bike and subscribe to the Garmin TACX app for training, the least you can expect is that the activities show up in your intensity minutes and AI analysis in Garmin Connect. However, they don’t, even if you have a paid subscription for both apps. I will reconsider my review when you fix this. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-08-24, version 4.85.3* Regularly crashes when doing challenges and continues biking between rides. This is a new “feature”, this app use to work great. Incredibly frustrating to fail challenges due to activities being lost by those regular app failures. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Very annoying indeed *2026-08-01, version 4.84.3* I have been using this app for many many years and it was perfect in every way until Garmin took over. What a disaster. Why have they tried to fix something that was absolutely fine? I’ve updated this app several times this year and it gets worse and worse at every update. Yesterday’s update was appalling! These three stupid three dots appeared recently that you had to press to stop your session which is stupid as the earlier app had a stop button on the screen you were looking at - perfect but now I have to fiddle with these tiny dots but go going back to yesterday’s update these three dots now open a settings screen and I have no clue how to stop a session I mean how stupid is that! I’m really annoyed by these recent changes. How can I get the version from six months ago that was perfect! If the developer actually used the app perhaps they would see how dreadful their changes have made this app. My only solace is that as I’m old I’ll be dead soon and will no longer be frustrated by this. Yes I know this is a first world problem but it’s so unnecessary. I also notice the same response to every review so obviously nobody is reading any bad reviews because it’s obvious that many people are unhappy and yet every update is worse than before. Why am I even spending time doing this? ### 1/5 — The updates SUCK *2026-07-30, version 4.84.3* The updates make this app very difficult to use - the font is VERY small (a lot of unused screen space) and it’s difficult to exit your workout (need one button to press V’s a drop down option. Do they actually use this, how can they not see these issues. ### 1/5 — Terrible UI update *2026-07-22* Please go back to the old one. This is the worst UI you have come with. Or just let us customize. Who is actually taking care of this iniciative in Garmin? Jesus. Please fix this guys. You have A LOT of input from the community already in your forums, support and even reddit. I dont need to give the same details of why this UI is horrible. Anyone can see. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. We will take this feedback with us to improve the app. ### 1/5 — What’s going on *2026-07-16, version 4.83.2* I cannot save my workout ??? Second time in a row ### 1/5 — Data and Accuracy is NOT accurate *2026-07-14* I try to ride exclusively outdoors but certain times it’s just not possible. I have several frustrations with the app but these 3 alone make it not worth having. Performance accuracy: I have 2 bikes I connect and both have skewed data when doing rides with the app. The accuracy of output watts and hills do my compare to accurate effort. Outdoors with my Ralley pedals and Garmin 1030, I never drop below 17mph on anything under a 5% incline. In the app a 3% incline seems to translate to a 8-9% incline. It’s totally inaccurate and frustrating. Multiple rides: I’m not a fan of ZWIFT but at least you can just ride and accumulate distance non-stop. Most Tacx rides are only 20 miles long and unless they are in a challenge there’s no way to string them together so if you plan to do a 60-80 mile ride you’ll have to log 4 seperate rides. The results are not accurate because it’s looking at multiple rides vs 1 sustained effort. Garmin Points: Even if you use your $1000+ TacX trainer and ride using Zwift or Rouvy, Garmin doesn’t give you credit for the ride or towards badges. You have to use their 1990s data integrated TacX app as well. I have Garmin watches, bike computers, bike lights, bike radars and Ralley pedals and I’m about to get rid of it all because Garmin won’t upgrade the TacX app to make it usable. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback. We will take this feedback with us to improve the app. ### 1/5 — Bluetooth issues. *2026-06-29, version 4.83.2* Where’s the timer for power workout. Also we really need to ability to set favourite workouts. To get to vo2 workout takes screens and screen of “load more”. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Training App!! *2026-09-02, version 4.85.3* Love it!! Works seamlessly with my Tacx trainer! ### 5/5 — Some lacunae’s but good *2026-08-13* Sometimes stops without explanation but otherwise reads garmin workouts pretty seamlessly **Developer response:** Hi, we are very sorry to hear that. We would recommend to contact our support team via: https://support.garmin.com/ ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-08, version 4.84.3* This app is superb, it covers everything from easy level 2 rambles where you can admire the beauty of the countryside to mad sessions with pro. Teams and as many other riders as you want, you can easily make up any group ride if you’re in the mood for company and with real world videos ride anywhere in the world and challenge yourself to epic tour climbing (if you have the legs) in a word EPIC!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 ### 5/5 — Tacx Traininb *2026-08-02, version 4.84.3* Brilliant offering so many opportunities ### 5/5 — Power training manual mode *2026-07-30, version 4.84.3* Even though I do not have a smart turbo trainer and rely on a speed and cadence sensor, it works great for those that are happy to create their own plans. Simply to connect and gathers enough data including heart rate to monitor training progress ### 5/5 — Great APP *2026-07-26, version 4.83.2* Worth every cent ### 5/5 — Much improved *2026-07-26, version 4.83.2* The new user interface and the ability to auto-continue nearby rides is a welcome addition. The new layout for custom made (non-video) workouts is also much improved over the last version ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-07-03* Perfeito para o treino **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your positive feedback. We hope that you keep riding with Tacx! ### 5/5 — Great app but *2026-06-26, version 4.83.2* Certain features could be better. Why the phone app display does not show pedal strokes (but a laptop app does) is a mystery. Lastly, why not suggest a ride that is compatible with a suggested workout (eg a flat ride for base training)? ### 5/5 — Bad update *2026-06-14, version 4.82.2* Last software update sucks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
