Zswift is just much better
Have been using RGT as an alternative of Zswift for past 3 months. At the beginning, thought it was great, but now I’ll be going back to Zswift for the following reasons: Magic road graphics are plain and repetitive. Doesn’t make you want to explore like Zswift does. Using ultra or medium mode slows down your PC (using MacBook Air). Most of the time you are riding alone unlike Zswift which has a nice community feel. RGT continues to limit free courses. This was the main benefit of using the app. As they continue to take away free courses, Zswift makes more sense to use. Recommendations for RGT: invest in better graphics and provide better free courses. Otherwise folks will try your app and go back to Zswift like me!

Poor app - full of bugs
Incredibly hard to use because the links, buttons, and font are way too small. Created events either don’t save or are impossible to find once created. The concept of this app is amazing! But whoever created the UI needs to put some more work into it. It hasn’t improved over the last 6 months either. I created an event and then missed it because I couldn’t find it!

Unacceptably Bad
I tried RGT because I thought Zwift was poorly done but this one is even worse. I have Wahoo hardware that I like a ton more than their competitors so I had some hope here too. The most frustrating part was that on tvOS my ride would get interrupted by the screensaver. Sometimes I simply could not figure out how to navigate to an item on the screen. For example, when I finished my ride I could not navigate away from the summary nor get it to upload to Strava, which I had already connected. I am an app developer myself so this is not coming from someone that doesn’t have a good understanding of technology.

Bluetooth connections don’t work
Sensors always fail to connect to Bluetooth after a minute or so, then the virtual rider stops until you turn Bluetooth off and on again, fails to connect after another minute, rinse and repeat ad infinitum.
Contacted support and supposedly they’re aware of the issue but no fix forthcoming.

Better, still needs work (and users!)
RGT is better now than it was last time I tried it a couple years ago - and it definitely has potential- but it’s not there yet. UI is buggy in places on the AppleTV, to the point of being app-breaking. Beyond that, there’s nobody here! 22 users on the main course… compared to 4,000+ on Watopia. I’m ending my trial 6 days early because I can’t enable my speed sensor today even though it worked the last time I used the app. Works fine in Zwift, as I’m riding right now as I type this. Hopefully the team at Wahoo can make this a true Zwift competitor but it isn’t one today.
