Bike IQ vs Training Loader

Turn your iPhone into a complete cycling computer, with no extra hardware. Live ride metrics, your own ride pages, virtual sensors, cycling maps, offline navigation, elevation ahead, shifter controls, and post-ride analysis, built for road riding, training, racing, and everyday rides. ◆ SMART PAGES Build the ride screen you want from more than 150 tiles: graphs, climbs and elevation ahead, a radar lane with the cars behind you, rain ahead, live power records, weather and more. Tap the info button on any tile to see what it shows. Auto Pages come up by themselves when they matter: before you start, on a climb, with a car behind, at a new lap, or into a headwind. Switch pages from your shifter buttons. ◆ VIRTUAL CYCLING SENSORS Bike IQ estimates power, detects cadence, identifies your gear, and tracks grade from the iPhone's own sensors and physics modeling, even without a power meter, cadence sensor, or electronic groupset. ◆ CYCLING-OPTIMIZED MAPS Maps that make the roads and trails cyclists care about easier to see, offline-first, with one-tap zoom. Build or import routes, add waypoints and Rest Stops, and get turn-by-turn guidance, with a road type bar for paved roads, gravel and bike paths. Even when you are not navigating, Bike IQ predicts the road ahead and detects climbs before you reach them. ◆ RIDE REPORT Every ride gets a title from where you went and Bike IQ Highlights, the facts worth keeping. Zoom any chart to the second, select a stretch to see its numbers, and export the ride as CSV. ◆ SMART SHIFTER CONTROLS Bike IQ supports SRAM AXS and Shimano Di2: track gear position and drivetrain battery, and turn pages, mark laps, zoom the map, mute radar alerts or trigger Shortcuts from your shifters. ◆ SENSORS AND RIDE DATA Power meters, heart rate monitors, cadence and speed sensors, radar, tire pressure including Quarq TyreWiz, and e-bikes from TQ, Specialized and BESV. Heart rate from a strap, Apple Watch, a watch that broadcasts it, or AirPods Pro 3 and Powerbeats Pro 2 (beta). Or ride with no sensors at all. ◆ RIDE SYNC Automatic sync with Strava and Apple Health, with your ride title and Highlights in the Strava description. ◆ KEY FEATURES Included for Free - Ride recording with speed, distance, elevation, heart rate, cadence, and power - Virtual power, cadence, gear, and grade without bike sensors - Wind impact for headwinds and tailwinds - Bike IQ Maps with clearer roads and trails - SRAM AXS and Shimano Di2 gears and battery - Sensor, radar, tire pressure, and e-bike support - Apple Watch heart rate and ride screens - Auto Lap by distance - Ride titles and Bike IQ Highlights - Post-ride analytics: zoomable charts, power curve, zones, gear usage, CSV export - Sync with Strava and Apple Health - Battery optimized for all-day rides Bike IQ Pro - Smart Pages and Auto Pages, including radar, rain ahead and elevation ahead - Route planning, imports, and turn-by-turn navigation - Offline routing in downloaded areas - Elevation ahead and climb detection, even when not navigating - Smart shifter controls, including page switching Ride recording, live metrics, and post-ride analysis are free.

I love the "Training Load" feature of Apple Fitness, but it is dependent upon effort scoring, which I consistently forget to do. Especially when my workouts are flowing in from other fitness sources like Peloton, Oura, Slopes, Strava, etc. So, I developed Training Loader to fill that gap... After calibrating the model against recent workouts, Training Loader automatically sets the workout effort score for you, in the background, based on caloric burn and average heart rate. You can also quickly override the score for any workout Training Loader sets for you. I hope you find it useful!
