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

There are capabilities in this program that should be moved to the main application. One function is to be able to do a ride on bomb. The application is also missing key features from the main application which should be incorporated to increase value. One is the current standing in the number of XP needed to get to the next level

This app has a problem with freezing up on rides no matter how long on everything like the map, the messages and etc etc.... closing down the app and restarting it doesn't help at all goes right back to freezing up... very dissatisfied with this app right now. Update: I just got the recent update, and the app is still crashing and freezing up in a matter of 15 minutes... what's going on here?!

Running ZC in parallel with Zwift makes the game better. In particular, the companion makes in game messaging easier (compared to typing on an ATV or a laptop keyboard, for example). The event schedule is also more detailed and easier to use in the companion app, compared to the main game. I'm only giving four stars, because trading comments on an activity is difficult. (That's a hint, Zwift. can only see the one line I'm typing on -- hard proofread. Scrolling is very difficult).

What's new

Fixed a bug where the Activity Feed isn’t scrollable
