Good, but still issues
There’s not much wrong with Zwift. It’s an incredible app but I’m not persuaded it’s the platform for me. I find the Bluetooth connectivity can be a real issue and this seems to stem from the handling of multiple user logins and device connections. But I don’t see this in TrainerRoad for example. I also find the workflow for starting a ride overly difficult. Why no password autofill for example on iOS? The addition of the Companion app works fine but it’s a layer of complexity. It’s also too difficult to get a workout fit file and getting it into Apple Health is a real fail. This is a crowded market and whilst Zwift should be applauded for defining this category, my feeling is that it’s become too amorphous and too large leading to unnecessary complexity that gets in the way of training. If you want to race indoor there is no peer however. Personally I prefer TR indoor and Xert outdoors.

Great, in the off chance it works
I’ve used this app on multiple devices and it is garbage. Just buy a Peloton or something equivalent. It’s nice for the virtual races, but not worth the hassle of it crashing. I’ll be selling (or discarding) my kit at the end of my subscription. Complete waste.

Apple Watch users deserve better
Zwift’s Apple Watch integration was always buggy, but at least it worked for me until around mid 2026. Once it stopped working, I had to find my own solution, despite paying for a subscription.
That solution turned out to be the QZ Fitness App. It lets me keep using my Apple Watch to capture your heart rate while ridding the Zwift app without buying a separate heart rate monitor.
Even better QZ opens up my Zwift Ride and compatible Wahoo set up options is a Zwift subscription, including Apple fitness+ cycling, MyWhoosh, ROUVY, TrainingPeaks, and more.
So, in a roundabout way Zwift me a favor: it pushed me to discover more choices for equipment I already owned. But paying for another app to restore functionality I previously had this frustrating.
A third-party app gave me the flexibility and Apple Watch support I expected from Zwift. That says a lot.

Bad updates
No more free monthly km. I subscribe to this app many months out of the year but because I do that I don’t get the monthly km. Very annoying!!!!

Changes that impact UI
The latest update sucks. If I’m planning a meetup, I expect to not have to go hunting for said right. It should be first on my screen for available rides when joining the app.
The glitchiness of this platform have always been a pain, but we manage. But to impact the user experience like this? I don’t want to go hunting for club rides or meetups that I’ve said I’m attending. My membership is set to renew in a month and if this isn’t corrected before then, I’m not sure I will renew.
