Ratings and reviews

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.

Despite having a premium subscription I have trouble getting into the program I started last week. All was great until about 2 days ago. The program is up to date and I have also tried un installing and reinstalling the app and rebooting my phone several times. No issues with regular timed trainings. Very frustrating when I want to pick up where I left off on my tour of the Italian mountains!!! I tried to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or if its an issue with the app. Any suggestions?
