Ratings and reviews

I expected much more from this app. I have the Tacx Flux, and the connection with the app is horrible. The resistance on the trainer never changes with the terrain in videos. The frequently pauses and tell me to "start pedaling even though I never stopped pedaling. That happens on my android and my Windows Surface. I was considering paying for a subscription but decided not to because the trial was very disappointing. Please fix!

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.

New revision removed heart rate workouts, which were my reason for using the program. In power workout, you can only see one trend at a time. Also, you can't directly enter a power value directly, only adjust with plus and minus - making big jumps hard to do. Who wants to maximize button presses when you're on a bike? E: FTP test is still there, you go to your profile to find it. Also the new interface is somewhat better in landscape than portrait, but still worse than the old UI.

What's new

This version of the Tacx Training app has several experience and UI improvements.
