Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app for years using my TACX Flow. I had no problems until after I was laid up for three months. When I resumed training in January 2024 the app was all over the place. It just froze and I lost the workout. If I lost concentration and it paused and it gave the resume pedaling instruction it just stopped recording. This morning when I pressed for power training it gave me the setup screen. I've given up. Deeply disappointed.

Calibrate, which is all I need it or, is useless. It tells me it is fine no matter what so long as I get over 30kmh. Thr spin down doesn't seem to matter. It used to tell me whether to loosen or tighten but not anymore. I need the tyre placement on the roller to be optimal and that is dead hard by trial and error. Too tight and its rock hard in zwift, too loose and you don't get any power. That is exactly what the calibrate function should help with and it doesn't.

Been using tacx for 5+ years the software has slowly got worse. Garmin, it's not great. I've re installed the app twice in a week, it's the only way to get Bluetooth to connect. It use to crash when saving (I've lost countless rides over the years). Sorry the engineering on this app and the hardware just doesn't cut it. Ok, I can't give this 0 stars, and I want to. Tacx have now removed the share button and doesn't take elevation into Garmin connect. You cannot get you data off, it's trapped.
