## What is Virtual Cycling Trainer?

Virtual Cycling Trainer is a focused workout companion for Bluetooth FTMS smart trainers.  
No virtual worlds. No avatars. No sign-ups. Just your ride metrics and full trainer control—nothing more, nothing less.

Connect your FTMS trainer and ride. Control ERG mode for target power, set a fixed resistance level, or simulate hills with slope mode. Real-time stats keep you informed: power, cadence, speed, heart rate, distance, and energy. That's it.

- Pure workout tracking—no 3D games or virtual courses
- Full trainer control: ERG, Resistance, and Slope modes
- Mode and target shortcuts for quick changes mid-ride
- Set mode, watts, resistance, or slope with Siri, hands free mid-ride
- Live metrics: power, cadence, speed, heart rate, distance, energy
- Heart rate zones and power zones with optional notifications
- Mark a ride as a race, then filter your history to races
- Heart rate from Bluetooth HR straps, AirPods, or Apple Watch — your choice
- Live Activities and widgets for quick access
- Metric or imperial units
- Privacy-first: no accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking
- Customizable workout layouts on iPhone and iPad: choose and arrange the stats you want to see
- Body temperature, skin temperature, and heat strain for heat training, with compatible Bluetooth sensors

Built for riders who want a clean, distraction-free indoor cycling experience. Connect your trainer, start your workout, and focus on the ride.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-09-01

New in this one:
- Every ride now charts the ERG, resistance and slope you asked for on top of the power you actually pushed.
- Your custom workout layouts follow you to your other devices.
- Assign your power, cadence and heart rate sensors from the Apple Watch, and see what your other device is already connected to.
- Trainer settings you tune on one device now reach the other.
- The Watch workout screen fills the screen again, with no gap in the middle.
- Cycling goes quiet in the background, so it stops nibbling at your battery.
- Plus, we dropped a few more pesky bugs that couldn't hold our wheel.

Hit Start and keep training strong!

### 1.6.1 — 2026-08-20

New in this one:
- Ask for 5% resistance and you get 5%. The slider, the buttons, the shortcuts and Siri all mean the same thing now.
- After a minute without pedalling, we'll ask whether you're done.
- Race marks now follow you to your other devices.
- Charts stop drawing straight through a pause, and a short recording no longer stretches across the whole ride.
- Deleting a workout behaves again.
- Plus, we dropped a few more pesky bugs that couldn't hold our wheel.

Hit Start and keep training strong!

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-17

New in this one:
- Mark a ride as a race, then filter your history to races.
- Fixed a crash that could happen when using iPhone and Apple Watch together.
- UK units read in miles again, on every screen.
- Your workouts keep more detail: elevation, and skin temperature and heat strain if you ride with the sensors.
- Plus, we dropped a few more pesky bugs that couldn't hold our wheel.

Hit Start and keep training strong!

### 1.5.2 — 2026-08-12

The big one first:
- Workout Layouts no longer freezes the app. Opening it could lock everything up until you force-quit — it opens straight away now.
- Lose the connection mid-ride? Your pauses and activity totals now survive the reconnect instead of starting over.
- On Apple Watch: set how hard a ride felt with the Digital Crown, and the start screen sits properly on smaller watches.
- More of the app speaks your language instead of falling back to English.
- Plus, we dropped a few more pesky bugs that couldn't hold our wheel.

Hit Start and keep training strong!

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-10

A steadier connection, and a ride that picks itself back up:
- Lost your trainer mid-ride? The ride now resumes on its own the moment it reconnects — until now only the automatic pause ever happened.
- Steadier connections: each trainer and sensor is checked once when it connects, and a lookup that fails no longer leaves things half-connected.
- Easier on the battery: with no ride running, the app now genuinely goes quiet in the background.
- Rate how hard it felt on a clear ten-point scale, with the Effort and State of Mind prompts properly translated everywhere.
- Better contrast in light mode, so the orange metrics actually read.
- Your Watch no longer beeps every half minute when an optional Health permission is switched off, and body measurements are now an explicit opt-in.
- Your trainer shortcuts stay the way you set them instead of shrinking to whatever the connected trainer reports, and Start honours "Use Apple Watch".
- Siri and Shortcuts trainer commands now follow this app's own ride instead of another app's workout.
- Plus, we dropped a few more pesky bugs that couldn't hold our wheel.

Hit Start and keep training strong!
