### 2/5 — Managed decline?

*2026-08-20, version 1.120.0*

What has happened to Zwift? It’s a feature packed app, so some updates are expected - but this has become relentless, with the only result being a worse experience.  The tech staff are better than this, historically staying ahead of competitors with ease - but this has changed and now feels like they are letting the app rot. A real shame.

### 3/5 — Not enough routes

*2026-08-20, version 1.120.0*

I’m training for a long distance cycling holiday and this app just doesn’t have enough routes available. The limited  100km routes they offer are all extremely hard. 

Please introduce a flatter 100km routes.

A cool down feature should also be included.

### 2/5 — Not quite what I hoped for.

*2026-08-15, version 1.119.0*

It’s pretty clunky despite the many workout options. Biggest complaint is only being allowed one profile per subscription.

### 3/5 — Idioma, Valor, Interatividade

*2026-08-15*

Falta o idioma português, valor alto pelo o que oferece e o mais importante não tem opções de novos trajetos interativos disponível, só bloqueado, fraco demais! Tacx Training é melhor.

### 2/5 — Not for me and not worth the £££

*2026-08-11, version 1.119.0*

Did not do it for me and in my opinioncertainly not worth £18 monthly subscription

### 2/5 — Updates are too often and too slow

*2026-07-21, version 1.117.0*

I'm fed up with how many updates happen and how slow they are for practically zip. 15+ mins again, missed ride

### 2/5 — Events not showing.

*2026-07-05, version 1.116.2*

Live events aren’t showing in Zwift app.  Deleted and redownloaded multiple times and apps upto data with updates.

### 3/5 — 😑what

*2026-06-12, version 1.115.0*

What in the uptown fifi is this? I was trying to make my account on swift until the checker said (I’m at least 16 year old). I turned that off Ofcorse, but when I try making in, it said that I was unable to create one. Why was it rated 4+ in the first place?

### 2/5 — 有料なんだからちゃんと改善してほしい

*2026-06-11*

バイクを購入できるメーカーや種類は多くないし、 アップデートも少ない。クライムポータルとかもずっと仮想空間画面だが、金とってるんだからいい加減ポリゴン化したらどうか？
ハードの問題と言われるかもしれないが、iPadでプレイしているがwatopiaなど人数が多いところに入ると落ちる。本当の映像ではなく所詮ポリゴンなんだから画質なんてこっちで落とせるようにできるオプションを作って欲しい。FTPテストが落ちる時なんかは本当に腹が立つ。私はソロでトレーニングするのが目的だから、他の人のいない空間に入る機能がほしい。

### 2/5 — Font Changes

*2026-06-09, version 1.114.0*

Font changes on latest update are more difficult to read when riding.  I now rely on Companion.

### 2/5 — Far too many updates

*2026-06-03, version 1.114.0*

Have used zwift for many years but the number of updates is ridiculous

### 3/5 — muito caro para ciclismo preço em dólar

*2026-05-27*

alterem o valor com base na moeda local o valor é muito alto no Brasil

### 3/5 — Não vale o valor pago!

*2026-05-19*

Falta interatividade dentro do app, iniciando pelo idioma e demais funções básicas de software, recomendação “média”

### 1/5 — App Bricked

*2026-07-24, version 1.118.0*

Just updated the App and can no longer get past the spinning loading wheel. Utter rubbish - don’t update until they sort out their bug!

### 1/5 — これからスマートトレーナーを購入しようとしている方、注意。

*2026-07-18*

ライド中にアプリが落ちる、コンパニオンアプリとヘルスケアの連携が不安定、Apple Watchの接続が頻繁に切れる。
このアプリを目的にスマートトレーナーを購入したのにぶち壊し。
世界中で使われているユーザの多いアプリなのに、あまりにお粗末じゃないか？

### 1/5 — L’etape climb portal

*2026-07-07, version 1.116.2*

5 hours and 15 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back because Zwift advertised the L’etape climb portal challenge to finish on the 6 of July but really it finished on the “5th of July”. Zwift was really good until Zwift scammed me

### 1/5 — Comes up in Chinese

*2026-06-28, version 1.116.0*

Cannot change languages

### 1/5 — 課金したのに

*2026-06-25*

課金してやろうとしたが何十分経とうが全く反映されない。再起動しても無理で結局今日はズイフトをするのを諦めた。お金を返してほしいレベル。その後返金された後にもう一度課金したがまたもログインできずサポートに連絡したが何回かやりとりした後音信不通になった。

**Developer response:** こんにちは。Zwiftアプリに関する問題についてお知らせいただきありがとうございます！サポートチームにsupport@zwift.comまでご連絡いただければ、この問題を解決するお手伝いをいたします。

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-06-18, version 1.115.0*

This app looks and feels like it hasn’t been updated since 2010. It’s so difficult to do anything. I wouldn’t pay $5 a year for this let alone $200

### 1/5 — E-mail

*2026-06-17*

They dont accept my e-mail

### 1/5 — Forced update

*2026-06-09, version 1.114.0*

I went to do a 2hr cycle, the app said it needed to update, it usually does this in 2 to 3 mins. The update started, it said it would finish in 22-25mins WTF………,
SO I HAD TO SIT THERE UNTIL IT UPDATED,I wasted 25mins+ of cycle time, useless, it should have warned me beforehand, I’ll know for sure next time the fffff stupid app

### 1/5 — Please stop breaking iPad functionality

*2026-06-08, version 1.114.0*

FTP editing is still broken and now Bluetooth connectivity doesn’t work. iPhone works.

### 5/5 — 2017 vet

*2026-08-09, version 1.119.0*

Always been helpful and quick to respnd to any issues. I’ve had 2 issues in 9 years which is pretty good. Chapeau for putting some of my payments into the TDF Femmes. I’d still like my club kit but that’s the usual quibble. Keep on keeping on. Love you.

### 5/5 — Getting Healthy

*2026-07-31, version 1.118.2*

Zwift has helped me shed almost 35 pounds in 6 months. The FTP workout plans are awesome. Group rides, events, races and just about everything else are all awesome. Always positive experience.

### 5/5 — Tradução

*2026-07-12*

O aplicativo com tantos usuários no Brasil merece uma tradução para português.

### 5/5 — お値段以上

*2026-06-28*

それなりに値段はするが、ジムの代わりと考えればまぁいいかな。
ジムは行くのが面倒だったが、これなら気軽にできる。

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-06-10, version 1.115.0*

Love riding on Zwift!

### 5/5 — Love love

*2026-06-07, version 1.114.0*

It’s best exercise ever! So good for my needs. Spread the word. Def worth the money.

### 5/5 — Gameified Fitness Miracle

*2026-05-12, version 1.112.0*

I fell down two stairs and broke my ankle badly. During the long healing and rehab, I got on an exercise bike at physical therapy, and liked it. I got an under desk bike when my PT ended, which I thought I’d use while working to keep my ankle loose. It game with a trial for Zwift. I was hooked. And my rehab accelerated. I upgraded to an exercise bike, completed the return to fitness workout plan, then the Grand Fondo plan, then I completed a 100KM ride, then I completed a 100 mile ride. On my 53rd birthday completed a 53 mile ride with 5300+ feet of climbing. I’ve grown to class C racing. I got the Tron bike. I did the spring classics on 100%. I’ve met a lot of folks around the world, and ridden 100ks regularly. I did the Rapha 500 and the Pas Normal 1000. 

All in an app because I fell down two stairs. Zwift didn’t save my life. But it made my life a lot better.

### 5/5 — consistency

*2026-05-03, version 1.112.0*

I started mid-February on the trainer now that the weather is getting warmer for outdoor cycling. It nice to maintain the training when the weather goes bad you can always find a ride

### 5/5 — Update

*2026-04-30, version 1.112.0*

Update

### 5/5 — Coffee Break

*2026-04-12, version 1.111.0*

Bring back coffee breaks in banded meetups. The coffee break option has been missing for my past few group rides.
