Looking at upgrading my 18 year old Fluid2 with a smart trainer and the Kickr snap and Cycleops M2 are my top picks right now. I want to stay with wheel on because I have both Campy and Shimano drivetrains and don't want to deal with swapping cassettes in a direct drive trainer so these are the top picks.


I am finding information on what free software comes with the trainers confusing at best. For Cycleops, I see people mentioning Virtualtraining that comes free, but there is nothing in the app store for apple matching this. Did Virtual training become Rouvy at some point? If so isn't Rouvy a paid subscription so I would have to pay to do simple spin down calibration? Or am I missing something.


For Wahoo it seems less confusing and looks like there is a wahoo fitness app in the app store that would work with the snap trainer.


I plan on trying out Zwift, Rouvy and trainerroad. Probably going to go with something like trainerroad because I would rather watch recorded races from nbc sports and whatnot rather than watching virtual stuff of me. I will be using my iphone to control it and screen mirror with a lightning to hdmi to the big tv if I decide I do lift zwift or Rouvy type software.


What software do you use if you have a cycleops or wahoo trainer? What is available for free that comes with each?
