Tacx Training‪™‬ 4+

Almost perfect

I’ve got a subscription and the range of films available is excellent. Have had no problems connecting my trainer or making use of AirPlay to display on my big TV. There are a few things I’d like to see in future updates to earn that fifth star...
My phone and iPad each have over 60Gb of free space, please allow me to download films to prevent some of the stuttering. My internet is fast but there’s still occasional screen freezing.
Give us an easy way to take screenshots of the beautiful scenery to share on social media.
There are other riders on course but their presence is limited to a little circle at the bottom of the screen... how about a graphic showing how far ahead/behind they are in metres for better competition?
Overall I am happy with the new app and hope that it continues to be developed

Still pathetic!

I want this app to be good, so I can use it in place of the truly excellent Tacx Cycling App, now removed by Garmin from the App Store. So every few months I buy a month subscription and give it another go. Been doing this for over a year now, and still this app is pathetic - I can’t get more than 5-10 minutes before the video freezes, never to be active again. How come I can use Zwift, Suffertest, Rouvy, FulGaz, Eurosport, TV Players and videos, with not the slightest problem on my (new, latest) iPad Pro yet this hopeless app never streams properly. And by the way, Garmin Support for iOS is also pathetic, I’ve been using iOS and beta testing sports training apps since 2011 so the advice for beginners you get (eg force quit all other apps, toggle bluetooth, make sure nothing else is connected to the Tacx, do a warmup to create a buffer, etc, etc) is of no use whatsoever. And the reason I keep reporting the same problem (Developer Response please note) is that ‘the problem’ has been apparent (many reviews, not just mine) and not fixed for well over a year now. Why not give us downloadable videos again (as for the desktop apps) so that we don’t have to temporarily load the same videos as a stream every time we use them. Maybe I’ll try again in a few months, because the Tacx Cycling App videos were the best I’ve used - they are just completely unusable in this useless app.

Even inside you can challenge yourself

Great app, almost as good as the real thing. One advantage is you can select the intensity of the route without leaving the comfort of indoors and the weather.
Have been using this app for over 2 years and it’s great for keeping fitness during winter months, only downside is the training sessions don’t feel as realistic as the routes which does deter from using them but if you pick your routes you can easily simulate a training load.
The video footage helps keep you focussed; if I’m honest it’s better than zwift. The watts/kg is great if you chasing down another user as you can gauge how hard they are pushing, the downhill still needs work but the hill climbing is as close to real as I’ve felt in my legs. Great app and well worth the monthly fee
