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

Drops out all the time. Doesn't matter where I set up. 1st level, basement. Can't find where I am in a group because of the jockeying of others, but even if I am riding with 2 or 3 people, if someone drops back or comes forward I'm off screen. Everything lags by at least 1 full second (1 thousand 1). Pisses me off all the time. A 3 star rating is being nice.

Good, but needs a few kinks ironed out. The "Stop" button is just not registering. At first, I thought maybe my hand was too sweaty but, even after toweling everything off, it still won't register. The other functions do. To stop a ride though, I have to dismount an do it from my computer (of fumble with my wireless keyboard). Hopefully, will be fixed soon. The other "Would like to have" would be to select and start a ride from the companion app.

Almost a necessary companion app while riding if you want any kind of social interaction. Best for looking at activities. One downside is there seems to be a disconnect between developers of this app and the game. Why can't we see achievements in the app, and why can't we enter the garage/store and see/purchase gear? Seems like an easy add to the app.

What’s new

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