Yeah, so weird. No matter what you choose, you manually enter the data.
“Migration”, you can’t believe … 
That was my immediate reaction.
Some people are all about status.
No, me neither. 
MyWhoosh is an odd setup, and honestly doesn’t do anything for me (I don’t feel the worlds have the sense of space and freedom that Watopia has, and they are not going after core functionality anywhere near as effectively as indieVelo are).
However…
What cannot be denied is the sheer pace of development coming from MyWhoosh compared to the glacial, hamstrung rate of improvement at Zwift. Even if they get 2 in every 3 things wrong, in 2 years they will be miles ahead.

They just need to start paying people to do group workouts and races.
At this stage I’d just be happy if there were a range of different jerseys (or other non-bike gear because everyone just uses the Tron bike) that I could spend my millions of drops on

My first reaction when reading this is that there are probably are merger or buyout talks happening. Zwift has never been profitable. Its executives have to be looking for an infusion of cash and some golden parachutes. UAE has lots of cash and clearly wants to do something in cycling.

I’ve only used it a few times, but looks like lot’s of new stuff added to My Woosh.

Anyone know how long the microtransactions have been around? Seems like one of the big draws was that it was totally free, but the guy in the video mentions buying a Season Pass. Did a little googling - couldn’t find anything about the price for the season pass, but saw this in the App Store:
Have zero interest in MyWhoosh, but it seems like they’re taking at least one of the worlds in a more videogame-y direction.

I was also surprised by the Season Pass mention and had difficulty finding pricing info too. Considering how $ensitive this group of people seem to be, I am a bit surprised I haven’t seen some complaints. Perhaps it’s still new and undiscovered, or I am not in the right circles to hear about it?
I was able to find those in the app but it’s not clear to me what those end up buying you.
I haven’t used MyWhoosh much but I’m not a huge fan of that sort of setup of microtransactions

Yeah, the microtransactions raise all kinds of red flags for me.

This is from the app. On main screen there’s the icon I’ve circled. But it’s not clear what buying that stuff gets you.
It looks like you need 150 “gems” to unlock the season pass so $10. Not clear how often they will be changing seasons or asking for more $$ though. My kid plays Fortnite and they have several seasons per year and want more $$ for each season pass.
Edit: It looks like the season spans 90 days. Assuming they start a new season after the 90 days and then you pay another $10 if you want to start the next season.

The more I think about it the more I’m turned off by it. I was already borderline on MyWhoosh and I’d probably just prefer to prefer to support IndieVelo. I don’t currently use much more than TR until winter when there are more bad weather days and I just want to do an unstructured ride on a virtual platform so maybe I’ll pay for indieVelo at that point
Trying this today, how have people found it?

Easy to set up, big download. Crashed when entering username and password from iPhone, but worked manually entering it.
Quite busy, lots of features, graphics not good, enjoyed an hour on the UCI courses. Crashed once.
Could easily be eliminating my deliberations over paying for Zwift, which I never much liked.
On an old iPad Pro graphics are much better.
…will we get integration with TR?
What kind of integration donyou want?
There is a mention that they may tie in with Zwift, but thats months old now within any signs of release, so AFAIK TR has no integration with any app like these.
Apparently another app integrates their workouts fully, trainer day(?) or something. TR seems to have gone the outdoor workouts route rather than compete with Zwift (my conclusion), but integration with a free platform like this might boost their indoor usage and improve the indoor experience.
Just a thought. Getting faster for an esports platform seems much more their thing than Zwifts social/gaming take.
- Sure isn’t TrainerDay from what I know. At most there is a calendar connection to TrainingPeaks, but that even lacks what some want and is not like what Zwift offers for other apps.
