Description

The Zwift Companion App is the perfect companion to Zwift. Stay connected when you're on the go. Pair it with your computer over the same Wifi network and use it as a Zwift game controller when you're riding. HOME SCREEN At a glance see recent activities in your feed, training plan details, upcoming events and progress on your goals. EVENTS Explore upcoming events, see who is going, and sign up. When you sign up, you can have it added to your calendar. ACTIVITY FEED See what the people you follow have been doing in Zwift. Want to pat someone on the back for a ride they did, give them a Ride On right in the feed. GOALS Create weekly or monthly goals to keep on track. MAP Want to see where you are in the world while you're Zwifting? Check out the map. Tap on your friend to send a Ride On or start a chat. WORKOUT When paired with the game, the workout screen lets you see and control your workout! TEXT MESSAGING Chat with people Zwifting around you or have a direct conversation with someone in particular. If you are in an event, you can chat with those in your group. DASHBOARD Don't have a bike computer? We've got you covered. The Dashboard provides all the key metrics you expect right at your fingertips - watts, speed, distance, elevation, time, cadence and heart rate. ACTIONS Mix it up with fellow Zwifters. Give an elbow flick when you want someone to pull through or wave to say "hi". Send real time encouragement or egg someone on with audio clips. Choose to see the action from four different POV and capture it with a snapshot. Actions are fun. APPLE WATCH With access to Apple Health, Zwift Companion for your Apple Watch may be used to read your heart rate data live into Zwift and save an activity into the Apple Health ecosystem. ZWIFTERS NEARBY Scroll up or down to see everyone on course in front or behind you. See how much time separates you, check their power output (w/kg) and how many laps they've completed. Private message anyone. DONE ZWIFTING End your ride and automatically upload it to one of your supported fitness sites right from your phone.

  • Great on paper, poor in practice

    I’ve been using Zwift for about 9 months now and was turned onto the app and indoor smart trainer cycling in response to the pandemic. Zwift itself is a really well-thought-out tool for keeping training or general fitness fun, but the apps (both companion and the main app) are plagued by bugginess, unreliability, and total functionality breakdowns pretty much every time they update. I run a Saris smart trainer, Zwift on my iPad Pro, Companion on my iPhone 11 Pro and companion on my Apple Watch series 5 for heart rate monitoring - I think all these things have worked, without issue, one time in nine months. Usually, if the mobile apps are working, the watch won’t connect; if the watch is working, companion on my phone isn’t working. As recently as today, my workout recorded in Health, pushed to Strava, but companion seems to think I did no such workout. As previous reviewers have stated, Zwift refers to their knowledge base and forums where you have to go spelunking for hodgepodge solutions that will break with the next update. I like Zwift, I’d love it if it worked reliably.
  • Needs a redesign

    Should be called event manager as that is the only thing worth using. They need to support the garage and shop features from the main app here. Where is Apple Health link? Message boards contain messy 3rd party dependencies.

    Wish the schedule for the different worlds and the garage feature was on here.
  • Officially the Worst App Experience I’ve Had - Paid or Free

    80% of the time your Apple Watch will not connect. Pair that with the fact that an actual reliable HR integration for this app like Tickr will not pass proper data to Apple Health and it is just offensively terrible.
  • Nice but will not Calibrate

    This app is. A nice addition and allows you to do most of the functions of Zwift but I have a huge complaint about calibration. I follow the calibration every time since I have a wheel on Smart trainer and it only calibrated once out of I don’t know how many. Now I need to make sure I have just the right tire pressure or each route will give me different feedback on the resistance. Very annoying. And yes I disconnect and calibrated straight from my AppleTV and that only worked twice. All others no dice.

    A must have to find rides/races on Zwift. Awesome ap tells you what’s going on to plan training/racing!
  • When it actually connects its great

    9/10 rides there’s a connection issue and by the end of the ride I’m not even using the companion app b/c it’s not connecting to my ride. Downloaded and reinstalled multiple times. The UX is terrible. Navigating thru the app is tough and you can’t truly customize your activity feeds. Finding Zwifters is rough. And it’s constantly having issues updating zwifters around me during the ride. Also annoying having to use 2 different apps when riding.
  • Trash update

    By DemonicCheeze
    Yet another (third in a row) trash update. After every update the companion app has had nothing but connectivity issues, drops me every ride at least once. Always “fixes itself” after about a week. What am I paying for?!

    I use Zwift with Apple TV and companion app on phone. Love it for tracking, giving ride ons and messaging other riders!
