About this app

Have you already downloaded Zwift? If so, you’re in the right place—Zwift Companion makes Zwifting better.

It’s like a remote control for Zwift that you can use pre-ride, during your ride, and post-ride.

Zwift Companion is a great place to plan your next activity. With all the events in one place and thousands to choose from, you're sure to discover like-minded athletes who want to get fit together. You can also find and join clubs on Zwift Companion.

You'll see rides chosen specifically for you based on your preferences, fitness level, and upcoming events. You can even set reminders, so you're never late for a ride.

You'll also find a bunch of cool information on Zwift Companion's home screen, like the number of people currently Zwifting, as well as any friends or contacts you're following.

Have a Zwift Hub smart trainer? You can also update the firmware with the Companion app.

DURING YOUR RIDE
With Zwift Companion, you can send RideOns, text with other Zwifters, bang U-Turns, choose between route options, and more. You can also adjust the resistance of your trainer on the fly during structured workouts, to increase or decrease intensity. Want to turn erg mode on or off, take screenshots, or see riders nearby and their stats? All of this happens on Zwift Companion.

POST-RIDE
Take a deep dive into your ride data and the folks you rode with. You’ll also find a progress bar for any Tours you’re participating in and the latest on any goals you set for yourself.

Ratings and reviews

Like a lot of Zwift, I've found this app to be 'almost great, but with some big issues'. Using it in-game rarely works for me (it knows I'm Zwifting, but the 'game' menu doesn't appear), which is frustrating as from all accounts it's really useful for this. It's also never clear which bits of Zwift are laptop-only, and which bits are in Companion. It's ok for finding events (though would benefit from a time-window filter), and good for reviewing activities, but could be a lot better.

I like Zwift, it has become my go to staple for keeping up my fitness. Dare I say, whilst it is nothing like getting out on the roads, I think I'm starting to prefer my indoor workouts, I certainly feel a lot safer (sadly). The interface takes a bit of tweaking to sync all the bits of kit and connect all the app accounts but once that littke bit of toil is completed it's all pretty straightforward therafter. Think I'd like to see Zwift companion integrated into the main app though.

It's good, but missing so much! You can't look at your garage, change bike or jersey etc. This is surely a basic requirement. You can't see achievements or even alter your FTP. Again, pretty basic. If you choose "not now" to join a meetup that you're signed up to, that's it, opportunity lost. You might be 40 seconds from the top of the Alpe, but you can't join after that 30 second countdown. Why?

What’s new

Fixed an issue where the edit icon on the goal setting screen would occasionally overlap with text on smaller screens.
