About this app

Xert EBC brings Xert's industry leading cycling training and self-coaching system to your Android device. Connect your smart trainer, power meter or other sensors via Bluetooth or ANT+ (for compatible hardware) to record your rides and perform Xert's Smart Workouts. The app records your GPS and elevation data and shows you Xert's advanced metrics as you ride. Data screens are customizable, just like other bike computers and can be used for indoor and outdoor recordings.

Ratings and reviews

It's missing most of what was in the old app. Most metrics presented have no value, and the valued ones from the old app are missing (TTE and TTR for example). Also no landscape support, so its not useful on my tablet like the old app. And, it's so much different, that I'm not sure how to configure what is there for Workouts using Zwift still (old app had a workout button and screen). I'll hold out until the old app dies, or this one has at least matching features.

The Xert EBC app is very easy to use. Sensor pairing is seamless every time. It's the quickest and most reliable connection I've used. The data screen options are limitless. There are some neat data fields such as wind direction/speed, cars (with Garmin radar which it connects to), as well as all Xert fields and usual options related to speed/distance etc. The workout function for indoor sessions is incredible. Seamless, reliable, easy to use. It's one amazing app which does it all.

I really like Xert so far, I just wish there was some more correlation between the web and the app. When selecting a workout on the web it doesn't show up on the app as a planned workout and the freshness feedback also doesn't appear to be on the app. Small changes and an app update will give Xert a massive boost. I rate this above Zwift for structured training.
