### 3/5 — New AI system needs work

*2026-07-31*

I’ve been a user for 5 years and greatly advanced my fitness to top amateur levels in BC. I’ve also learned a lot about the science and methods of training along the way. And it’s clear that the new AI system needs some work. It erroneously analyzes outdoor workouts and correspondingly the detections/predictions yo-yo around. That’s annoying and distracting, but not that big a deal. The real problem with all that is that it then picks the WRONG workout for you - the complete opposite of what they claim. The app and system are great, but I will save my money unless they can get this resolved. I recently started self coaching again with freely available AI tool support, and I’ve unlocked the fitness the TR AI was keeping from me for the past 6 months. So I’ll save the $300CAD per year from TR and put it towards something more productive for my goals for now. 

If you’re a beginner, it’s a great place to start and learn about training. But if you’re advanced at training, I’d suggest to go elsewhere with your money and more importantly your time.

### 2/5 — AI not for everyone

*2026-07-20, version 2026.27.0*

The workout player is polished and the workout library is huge. The support team does their best to support a somewhat flawed product.

Unfortunately the latest overhaul of the app is heavily AI-focused, and it’s simply not ready for prime time. The team may get there eventually, but the current struggles are eerily familiar to the long wait for Adaptive Training to properly account for outdoor rides. The new AI was supposed to be the solution to that, but it still goes off the rails way too often.

The workarounds amount to adjusting your FTP to where you think it should be and choosing workouts that feel right. So if the workout library and player are worth the price, TR makes sense. Otherwise, probably not.

### 5/5 — Getting faster with TR

*2026-06-18, version 2026.23.0*

I’ve used TrainerRoad for a few years. When I’m on the plan and stick to it, I always improve. The new AI feature is awesome and a great motivator to stick to the plan. It adapts to your schedule, outdoor rides, events… whatever life throws at you. TR Podcast is also a fantastic resource. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Use it or lose it

*2026-06-18*

Ich bin ein Masters Fahrer aus NRW Deutschland und verwende TR seit einiger Zeit um mich besser auf meine Radrennen vorzubereiten und auch einfach den ÜBERBLICK zu behalten. 
Der Kalender ist hervorragend und der Kundenservice ist herausragend. Die antworten immer und helfen einem. Gute Arbeit machen die.
Du musst natürlich etwas mitdenken, und natürlich trainieren, klar.

### 5/5 — Get fit, get fast

*2026-06-05, version 2026.21.0*

Just do the work. It’s that easy

### 1/5 — Great Idea, poor execution and customer service

*2026-05-12*

I have been on this app for just about a month. It routinely has issues, workouts don’t show up on iPhone or iPad, the Apple Watch integration for outdoor rides literally doesn’t work half the time.
When contacting customer service, the response is: oh yeah we know there is an issue, other people have reported them too but our app also is on Android and Windows too! 
Oh nice so I paid $300 so you could tell the app doesn’t work on Apple products sometimes? That’s the solution? 
I will be filing a complaint with Apple separately but please don’t waste your money if you intend to use this indoor or outdoor on iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Fails to load after update

*2026-05-12, version 2026.18.3*

Love the app and what you guys do. But seems like the latest update may have caused the app to load very slowly and that’s when it even does at all on my iPhone. I think my phone may have updated iOS recently as well so maybe it’s that, but either way thought I’d pass on that somethings up with app loading and it just started a couple days ago on my iPhone. I have not done the may 7 TR update or the latest iOS update on my iPad and it loads normally.

### 3/5 — Blank/Black Screen

*2026-05-12, version 2026.18.3*

TR has always been a bit slow to load but for a couple of days now it has become much worse, to the point that the app simply won’t open on iPhone 14. All I get is a blank/Black screen and I can’t get any further. Was working well otherwise.

### 1/5 — New app broke app completely

*2026-05-06, version 2026.17.0*

Like the April 10 review; app completely broken on iPhone

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2026-04-16, version 2026.14.0*

I did this app for a year and followed the structured training plan to a tea. I followed all the workouts and ended up just getting slower. Raced the same course as I did last year but got 2 minutes slower and just always felt horrible on the bike and felt like I was getting slower all the time. Potentially could be good for people who aren’t that serious into the sport. But for athletes who aren’t seriously trying to improve this isn’t the right fit. Seems they want you to have fun rather than gain speed. Typical week would include 3 workout days a week often doing VO2 and the muscles can’t handle that over the length of a season and I eventually just started getting much slower. Sad to see it. Now I have a human coach and seem to be progressing loads faster.
