I realise this may be a cry for mercy from a place of considerable privilege–good software, keenly maintained–but am I alone in finding the update schedule for the TR app so frequent as to be annoying? There seems to be an update to the software every single day, mostly with ‘under the hood’ improve…

I feel like I shouldn’t complain that the TR team is always improving the platform and fixing bugs. But, yea, it gets a bit annoying that it needs updates so frequently. I’d rather see a larger update less frequently. But again, it’s great to have devs fixing stuff.

What platform are you using? I am running TR on Android and updates auto-install. No need to close, install update, restart.

I personally see no cause for concern with the update frequency. As @Junk_Miles mentions, it takes < 1 minute to update… it’s on average about 30 seconds on my older 2012 MacBook Pro, which is easily handled while putting on my shoes, etc. If the update frequency keeps the app running in tip top sh…

This post is just a list of reasons why an app might update. I think we’re all familiar with most of the reasons, but there may be some unfamiliar reasons. Some teams publish .0X / minor updates all at once and less frequently. TR seams to do it continuously. This is just a list, not an opinion. A…

I’m use TR primarily on a Windows PC and I get an update notification multiple times per week. It usually says it’ll take effect with the next app restart, so I can typically get going with my workout. It is a minor annoyance but nothing that holds up my workouts.

I don’t disagree with any of the posts here: necessary updates, very welcome, momentary inconvenience, minor frustration. I’m really interested in others’ tolerance for these minor annoyances. I think I’m an outlier!

[image] Release Notes somewhere? [Resolved white_check_mark] TrainerRoad Software Are the app update notes available somewhere? Installed a new update this morning and couldn’t scroll down to read all the notes on the update. No change log or historical release notes …

I have been using iOS via an iPad for the last year or so. Updates are instant upon opening the app. I get a popup telling me there was an update. No delay. Previously I used a Windows laptop. That required an install and restart which did cause a delay however if I recall there was an option …

@DXR , there IS a change log within the app (at least on the Mac side). I’m not in front of my computer at the moment, but if my memory isn’t currently failing me, I believe it’s under the “support” menu within the app. From there, you can find the historical release notes. Regarding my “under the h…

The core of my question is really something like: how often do you folk do the vacuuming? I’m a whole-house-once-a-week kind of person, but it seems like most are one-room-per-day. More inconvenience at less frequent intervals vs less inconvenience at more frequent intervals. I’m not interested in …
