About this app

RIDE INDOORS, FEEL OUTDOORS
Connect your Tacx™ smart trainer with the Tacx Training app to turn indoor sessions into immersive rides. Tackle steep Alpine and Pyrenean climbs or conquer the cobblestones of Roubaix right from your living room. New routes around the world are added every month.

TRAIN WITH REAL DATA, IN REAL TIME
When paired with a compatible Tacx smart trainer and other accessories, you can see speed, power, cadence, and heart rate data on screen while your trainer resistance auto-adjusts for realistic climbs and descents. Connect with a Tacx Alpine gradient simulator for an even more immersive climbing and descending experience.

Ratings and reviews

This is what happens when you allow Sales and Marketing to design the Workout feature in the app. The latest version has 90% of the screen real state used to promote a product and 10% with useful training related data. Avg Power, Avg HR, Avg RPM were removed. You can't see the tiny numbers of your workout. Please fix this. Use the screen to have training relevant screen and put your AI generated picture somewhere else. Bring back the Average data and larger numbers.

Most-times it works. The device paring has been pretty quick recently. Sometimes the app fails miserably... for example, What is "an unexpected error has occurred"? Restart phone.. Logoff/logon... reinstall app.. 30min troubleshooting and nothing. You just want to start a workout. Eventually I had to run in erg mode. Two days later, the app worked sufficiently. I guess, having a backup plan for your workout is in order.

The app is okay but has these basic issues: It does not show all major readings during workout on the same page. Readings like HR, average power, cadence are hidden on second and third pages, and during a hard workout it is not possible to change the pages. All major readings should be on the same page. Also there is no easy way to start a workout. Workouts should be listed on the main page.
