TrainerRoad on ipad

Hi all, I’m using TR on an iPad mounted just in front of my bike. I usually watch films when training but yesterday something struck me. Whilst I normally watch a film in “picture in picture” mode, with TR being in the background, clearly this means I can’t see much of the film. Is there any way TR could be shrunk to “picture in picture” mode or something similar, so that I have a full screen movie, but a small TR screen with key data points, graphics, etc.? I know I could just my phone for TR and iPad for films, but if possible it could be an interesting feature. Thanks!

On previous iOS version, you could choose three dots on the top of the screen and select “overlay” or something like that.

Best indoor training accessory I’ve ever bought:

Trainer desk

I park my laptop on it.

That’s the perfect solution for this!

Looks like there’s great alternatives already being offered :slight_smile:

@Radmanken, as of right now we don’t have the option to minimize on iPad like you can on laptop/computers.

It does sounds like @pdworks.cc may have the best solution if you have iOS 26.

Personally I’ve found the best solution for me is to run TR on my phone and use the iPad for whatever content I’m consuming during the ride.

Thats very cool, thanks! I’ll give that a go!

I built my own from a reclaimed pallet and a hardboard offcut. It’s brilliant.
