In theory it's good but I feel like I spend 10-15 minutes fiddling around to get my trainer and my Wahoo Tickr HR monitor connected and working via bluetooth every time I ride. The entire reason I bought the trainer is because I can barely find 45 minute to ride in the morning so wasting time getting set up every time is frustrating. Maybe it's my phone but it's a brand new Moto G6. Not a $1000 android phone but up to date technology. Zwift using my wife's 2 year old iPad mini just works and takes me about 20 seconds to get set up. If I do stick with Zwift I'll probably buy a used iPhone 5s or 6 and just use that. I'd like to test Trainerroad before making any decisions because it seems like the best pure training app for smart trainers and I'm more interested in getting a focused work out then the immersive gaming style of Zwift. I know Zwift has training now but all the reviews I've read say that Trainerroad is still better in that aspect
I'm not sure why the video has given me so much problems with rouvy, i never have had any problems connecting, it is the video stop, starts, speeds up ect
pretty aggravating
try out ful gaz , some of those rides are really neat, almost like you are there. and it streams better than other sites.
I get bored on zwift and training after a couple of weeks and it is nice to have another outlet to train on
I made one mistake, I should have bought a bigger tv, for only a little more money, I could have bought a big curved screen deal, that would be nice
