Zwift Companion 4+

I've been a dedicated user of Zwift since 2016, and it's been a crucial part of my cycling routine for the past seven years, keeping my interest peaked. With a frequency of 1-3 times per week, I've explored various facets of the Zwift world - from engaging in races, leveling up gear and bikes, participating in group rides with friends, to exploring new worlds, chasing challenges, getting the tron bike, and collecting badges. It offers an array of activities like robopacer rides and solo adventures, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience. I often recommend Zwift to fellow cyclists as a safer alternative to real-life (IRL) riding, without compromising on the fun and engagement. While I still enjoy IRL rides, Zwift has been an excellent tool for preparation and training. If you're yet to try it out, I highly encourage you to do so and then, as we say in the Zwift community, 'ride on!'

I really love the app and it is a great companion to my Apple TV Zwift app. It’s like having a hi tech remote. I especially like the new workout screen but have a couple of nit picks with it. I have a controllable trainer so I am concentrating more on cadence than power during the workouts. The cadence font is so small and nested right under the power reading that it is hard to read, especially when really working hard. Perhaps moving it to the top left of the power arc and heart rate to the top right would make it all easier to read. There is some open screen real estate In those places, especially if the power arc is just a tad smaller. Additionally, the app is super power hungry. I went from 85% to 20% in 40 minutes. Not sure how to fix this considering everything it is doing, so I now plug my phone in (which requires a wire that I don’t want around my bike!) Lastly, it loses sync about once per workout and I have to close and reopen the app. Again, I consider these minor but if they can be fixed, I would have no problem upping my rating to 5 stars.

This app is incredible. I can disable the Heads Up Display on Zwift and immerse myself more into the ride, then look down at the companion for everything I need. Well, ALMOST everything. What’s missing? You can’t see the grade of the slope you’re riding on. This makes the app almost unnecessary because you have to keep toggling the HUD off and on while you’re riding in order to see what the slope is and what’s coming up. If they added this ONE feature to the app it would literally be perfect. It still deserves 5 stars for everything else it does.
