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. ### 3/5 — Companion App has potential *2026-05-13, version 3.83.0* 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 ### 2/5 — Apple Watch HR still not working reliably *2026-05-08, version 3.82.2* Getting the watch to connect is still like pulling teeth sometimes, where no combination of restarting the watch app/iPhone app seems to work. ### 4/5 — Super in Verbindung mit dem Hauptprogramm *2026-04-24* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — Mixed bag *2026-04-20, version 3.81.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Fine except apple watch integration *2026-04-11, version 3.81.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Apple Watch HR monitoring *2026-04-04, version 3.81.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Needs a major update *2026-04-01, version 3.81.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Great to use within reach *2026-03-14, version 3.80.0* Fix your BTE connection detection when there isn’t actually more than the max number of connections. Highly irritating on Apple TV. Unable to connect to heart rate and controllers if power/resistance is used. I never use companion apps, but for Zwift this is fantastic. It acts as a remote controller and also provides workout data and instructions if you can’t reach your laptop. I think there is less latency too, the cadence and watts feedback is more immediate. ### 4/5 — Love it but… *2026-03-06, version 3.79.0* It would be perfect If I could search the workout as for the route (instead of Scrolling) ### 3/5 — マップが表示されなくなった。 *2026-03-03* 以前もマップが表示されない時はあったが、今回はログインしなおしてもてもダメだった。 何をしたら治るのかわからない。 ### 3/5 — Lots missing from Companion *2026-02-11, version 3.78.2* I wish I could see robopacer rides, sort routes and workouts, add more than 25 routes/workouts to my list, check how much still needed for next bike upgrade, how far I am in my challenge… there are many features missing in the companion app. And it’d be nice if it was easier to connect with my Apple watch HR. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-06-24, version 3.84.0* 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. Trash ### 1/5 — Breaks AirPods *2026-05-31, version 3.83.0* Newest version makes my AirPods disconnect and reconnect repeatedly and I can’t listen to any music or podcasts during a ride. ### 1/5 — No connection. No companions. *2026-05-15, version 3.83.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Useless with Apple Watch *2026-04-29, version 3.82.2* 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. ### 1/5 — No Erg control *2026-04-20, version 3.81.0* It adds so little value to zwift :-/ ### 1/5 — Data to Apple Health Complete Lost *2026-04-02, version 3.81.0* 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. ### 1/5 — 2 apps, seriously? *2026-03-24, version 3.80.0* 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. ### 1/5 — UI/Ux hell realm *2026-02-17, version 3.78.2* Have to hit back 100 times as the buttons are so tiny. Generally a bloated confusing app. The maps/workout tab is switching weirdness. Engs clearly designed this monstrosity. App easily goes out of sync. Worse than useless. ### 1/5 — wasted money *2026-02-07, version 3.78.2* their hardware deliberately does not work with other applications, wasted money ### 1/5 — Decoupling *2026-02-03, version 3.78.0* Companion keeps disconnecting from zwift ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Must have *2026-08-19* A must have app if you are Zwifting. Ride on…🚴‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-20, version 3.84.0* 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! ### 5/5 — Companion *2026-06-04, version 3.84.0* 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 ### 5/5 — ZC - recommend *2026-05-08, version 3.82.2* Year by year this app has become more popular and helpful! Really recommend use it while you’re ridding on zwift. ### 5/5 — So much fun *2026-04-26, version 3.82.2* 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 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2026-04-14, version 3.81.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Zwift Companion App *2026-03-14, version 3.80.0* Excellent with Siri button. ### 5/5 — Works well alongside the main app *2026-03-14, version 3.80.0* No complaints, long time Apple TV user. Switched over to a Mac mini recently and still find this app helpful. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-02-04, version 3.78.0* Sometimes I catch myself leaning into the turns! Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Awesome but Apple Ultra3 Watch doesn’t connect! *2026-01-24, version 3.77.2* I have used Zwift for years for biking and running with 3 different Apple Watches successfully over the years. Please fix the issue with Apple Watch connectivity. My month old Apple Ultra 3 Watch will not send heart rate through to Zwift. I have tried everything. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
