Early Access to iOS Beta: Updated TrainerRoad

I have to say thank you so much, the behavior using the Neo 2T is very much improved. Intervals start on time (no more starting 2s early) and the entry into the interval is much smoother, they don’t hit you quite as hard.

Just a small feature request, I would love if my “favorites” would sync so when I switch to a different phone, tablet, or use the calendar on the web page I have my personal list to access quickly.

Still hoping for a stable/workable issue which will work with iPad Mini :crossed_fingers:

I keep noticing that in the iPad when I go to calibrate and then go back to the Calendar from the menu that it just puts me on a random day in a random week and I consistently have to scroll to the top to find the current day to pull the workout. Not anything that makes a workout impossible obviously but just a but annoying. Maybe a “Today” button might fix that if the source of the issue can’t be found

I keep having issues with the bluetooth connection of my wahoo blue hr. It shows up in the iOS device settings and in other apps but only shows in TrainerRoad when I take out the battery before each ride. After that it works fine for the workout. Any idea?

I’ve noticed this same intensity +/- behaviour on the iPhone 8. Nothing like having your “I can bump it up 1%!” confidence crushed by a 4% jump.

Is there an ETA for a fresh build of the iOS and Android apps? Else I’m going to have to stop using the current beta because it just isn’t stable enough.

I did a custom workout on iPad today (one of the Team Gold workouts) and the app crashed 3-4 times mid ride - usually upon a large change in power target. Each time it crashed (and I reopened it) it did offer to resume my ride - but that just resulted in another crash. FWIW, I’m using the beta on an iPad 7, iOS 14.2 hooking up to a Neo 2T via Bluetooth.

Oops, never mind, I found the “Today button” but still having the issue with randomly going to a day.

Thank you all for the feedback and taking the time to report everything. :raised_hands: We’re making lots of progress and we’re still taking all your feedback and requests into consideration.

Big changes for this release are the Sync Banner has been fixed to show correctly (and there are future improvements in the pipeline) and and fixed some strange interactions with certain panels and not recognizing touches.

In this version we have made the following fixes or improvements

•	Fixed a problem with the Sync Banner showing too often, it should only show when actively syncing and only on the relevant screens. 
•	Fixed the way we calculate plan overlap in Plan Builder
•	Fixed a problem the "Today" Workouts panel
•	Fixed a problem with certain tablets not receiving touches. 
•	Some under the hood improvements to sync and calendar.

Unable to get power or cadence data from wahoo kicker since update. Tried forgetting and reconnecting, force quit restart. Unable to use app at all.

iOS on iPhone 11.

Edit: I was able to get it connected on my iPad.

Feedback on build 2020.36.0 (91928) on iPad Pro 12.9" (2018)

Setup

  • Elite Volano (dumb trainer)
  • 4iiii single-sided power meter (Shimano crankarm)
  • Wahoo Tickr heart rate strap
  • iPad Pro 12.9" (2018) running iOS 14.2

Feedback

  • It is still very, very hard for me to gauge my effort, because the floating bubble in the power bar completely blocks the view of the power bar. Please, pretty please, make the bubble smaller and/or the power bar wider so that I can gauge my effort and make sure I’m in the right zone. I do lots of workouts now 5-10 W over the prescribed wattage. That includes over-unders, where this really puts the hurt on me.

  • Today I had a connectivity issue with my Wahoo Tickr heart rate strap (via Bluetooth) to my iPad. It at first appeared when I checked the connection, but was not available during the workout.

  • The zoomed view of the current interval disappeared. This provided a nice alternative to the barely usable power average bubble/power bar, and allowed me to gauge my efforts correctly.

  • The interval analysis is still gone. I really miss that, because I used to religiously check whether I have hit every one of my power targets. I know it is a click away, but now I just don’t.

Is the wahoo ant key supposed to work with the beta app?

My wife has been using our old 30-pin ant key with a lightning to 30-pin adapter with the App Store app for awhile.

I decided to add her to the beta so she could get live FTP estimate for her ramp test tomorrow but am not seeing ANT referenced on her devices page or any such sensors showing up.

Not sure if this is related to the Beta, but since Friday none of my workouts have synced to Strava

@tnordberg iOS doesn’t have ANT+ enabled yet, we’re still working on that and I’ll drop the announcement here in the thread when we are able to release. :+1:

Just curious, because it’s a feature I love about the desktop version, any ideas of if/how hiding HR field will be implemented on iOS? Otherwise, I personally haven’t seen issues based on my own usage of the beta versions.

Thanks @Pete for the prompt reply, she only uses it for cadence and I had a spare BLE cadence sensor to loan her for now :slight_smile:

Second question, kind of unrelated to beta - I bought a used NPE Cable (CABLEINFO - CABLE - Connect ANT+ to BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)) a month or so ago just because I think it is a neat gadget. I saw a note that when using the Cable TR, in particular, could only use it for a single bridged sensor (yet other apps or devices can do more?). Do you know if this is true, and still true for the new app plans?

Honestly my eco system of devices is more and more dual BLE/ANT so the use case is less and less, but always curious.

Thanks again!

Problem with the separate WAHOO speed + cadence sensors with build 91928 this morning.

Virtual Power didn’t work at all. The app couldn’t detect power, in spite of the fact that Devices showed the speed sensor connected, and showed the speed in the devices page.

Cadence sensor was connected fine, and showing in the main device.

Disabling Bluetooth/re-enabling didn’t work (devices connected, no virtual power)

Rebooting the device didn’t change anything.

Reverting in TestFlight to the previous build 91927 resulted in everything working correctly, so it’s definitely a regression from 91927 in 91928.

3 bluetooth devices connected:

Wahoo Speed
Wahoo Cadence
Wahoo Tickr Fit

iPhone 12.

Dumb trainer, no bluetooth there.

Workouts showing in the correct day. This workout was completed yesterday.

I did Ainslie +5 this evening using the latest beta update. Changing the intensity is still really inconsistent - you press once and its a lottery as to whether it goes up 1%, 2% or 3%. Also, the extend warm up / cool down button is still far too small.
General responsiveness of the app seems to have improved. It loaded quicker. Absolutely no problem with the workout itself. Kickr Core was recognised straight away and everything felt just right.
All in all, apart from a few niggles, it looks like the team have done a great job with this latest update (from my n=1 experience)

Did Taylor -3 today on my iPad with the newest version update. No issues.

My only question is I thought that switching from erg to resistance required fewer touches. But I still had to hit the three dots, select devices, and then change to resistance.

If I have a Kickr connected and press the bottom right button I see a quick menu (shown below). I haven’t used these but think they are what you’re looking for?
