This is generally good for cycling.

Good for tracking cycling. Not good for running. You can’t favorite run routes or WOs for running like you can with cycling. So, while, I like it for all the cycling I do with Zwift, it’s not good for when I do my Power walks or walk/runs.

Trash

Connections for planned rides never work. I have wasted hours trying to figure out how to get a planned workout from another training app loaded and it won’t work. I’ve cut so many workouts short bc of this stupidity. Then when I give up on trying to figure out how to sync a workout, zwift has no way to co trip the resistance or power when connected to a kickr.

Great App

The Zwift Companion app is a must for anyone riding on Zwift. It shows the route map and other metrics plus it has other functions such as taking screenshots and recording video clips of the previous 15 seconds. You may save the ride from the companion, use the teleport and coffee break functions, etc. As its name implies, it is a perfect companion to the Zwift app!

Companion

This app adds so much to my Zwift experience, from giving ride ons to planning my week, looking at route and workout options, it’s great! Keep developing it Zwift! One suggestion would be to add climb portal as routes/plan options as these form a part of the Zwift experience. Keep up the good work

Breaks AirPods

Newest version makes my AirPods disconnect and reconnect repeatedly and I can’t listen to any music or podcasts during a ride.

No connection. No companions.

This has happened several times recently.
No connection.
No likes received or given.
I can’t think of anything nice to say so I’ll say no more.

Companion App has potential

Companion App is good but could be great, things like adding your garage so that when you select an event you can also select the frame and wheels you want to use for that event

Apple Watch HR still not working reliably

Getting the watch to connect is still like pulling teeth sometimes, where no combination of restarting the watch app/iPhone app seems to work.

ZC - recommend

Year by year this app has become more popular and helpful! Really recommend use it while you’re ridding on zwift.

Useless with Apple Watch

I have yet to have it stay connected to my Apple Watch after many attempts. It will connect then I start my ride and disconnected. Tons of wasted time troubleshooting.

I hate that I have to fight it every try time to go for an indoor ride.

So much fun

It’s nice that you can plan everything that you are going to to that’s active who’ll just sitting your couch but I recommend it that you can view people on Zwift even on compion and other small things

Super in Verbindung mit dem Hauptprogramm

Tolle App um einiges an Informationen während des Trainings oder Rennens abzugreifen. Außerdem lassen sich so die Power Ups einfacher verwenden. Leider lässt sich das Gewicht hier nicht komplett ändern. Bei KG kann man nur die Zahlen vor dem Komma ändern. Alles danach wird abgerundet.

Response from developer

Hallo! Danke, dass Sie vorbeigeschaut und eine Bewertung hinterlassen haben! Es klingt so, als ob Sie einen Companion-Bug beschreiben, an dem unser Team aktiv arbeitet. In der Zwischenzeit möchten wir Ihnen eine vorübergehende Lösung anbieten, die Ihnen helfen könnte, bis der Fix veröffentlicht wird :) Gehen Sie zu Einstellungen > Allgemein > Sprache & Region > Zahlenformat und wechseln Sie zu einem Zahlenformat, das einen Punkt anstelle eines Kommas verwendet, um Dezimalwerte in Zwift einzugeben.

Mixed bag

Cool features but too many instances of bugs for me to rate higher. It’s really annoying to pay Zwift fees and put in the work and not always have your data processed.

No Erg control

It adds so little value to zwift :-/

Fantastic App!

Great app, with all the enhancements that have gone in over the years it really is a one stop shop for Zwift activities and communication. One feature I would add is Zwift pace partner information for the routes they are on and world they are in. Currently I have to go to Zwiftinsider(Which there is nothing wrong with that) to get pacer info.

Fine except apple watch integration

Apple watch integration is *very* unreliable and inconsistent. Have to start apps on iphone, apple watch, and iPad in precise order and timing and even then, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it drops mid ride. Makes zwift nearly unusable with apple watch heart rate.

Apple Watch HR monitoring

I don’t know if it is down to Apple or Zwift, but pairing an Apple Watch is a hit and miss affair. It constantly drops connection. Sometimes you get lucky and it connects for a whole ride. It has been this way since I started using Zwift in 2023. I hope one day the problem can be resolved.

Data to Apple Health Complete Lost

All the data my Zwift Companion had previously written to Apple Health was severely affected by the latest update. I use a workout app called Athlytic to interpret my cycling workout data from Zwift Companion and ZC is no longer writing data to Apple Health.

Needs a major update

It’s a shame the Developers don’t listen to the users. The app needs an overhaul to work better with iPads
1. Landscape mode. Expanding the portrait to make it bigger isn’t acceptable.
2. Have an option to clear all the ride data (watts, graphs, HR, cadence,map, elevation,etc) from main screen and have all the data on the companion app.

2 apps, seriously?

Even if this was a free app needing 2 apps is ridiculous, I should be able to see my past rides and stats in the main app. Then considering the 20 a month they charge, they obviously aren’t spending that on engineers.
