Gradient on companion app PLEASE!

So I LOVE the fact you can nuke all the menus on the main screen while riding. I have an iPad mini mounted to my bars running the Companion app for the map and other data but would LOVE to see the gradient added as a data screen.

And…

If we’re dreaming here…

How AWESOME would it be to be able to configure the data screens on the Companion app like you can on your Wahoo or Garmin computer?!?…a girl can dream…

I was thinking the same today riding one of the new routes with he HUD hidden. Yes, the gradient would be a fantastic addition to the Companion app.

agree. please add gradient to companion app.
looks like there are 34 “votes”. we need more to encourage Zwift developers to work on this.

Yes! It seems really odd to me that they would include so much data in the companion app, but not included gradient. There is no way to anticipate climbs and descents from the companion app, which is super frustrating.

Good, it’s not me. I thought I just couldn’t find gradient on the app.

Is there a redesign of the companion app in the pipeline at all? It’s been basically the same for years.

While we are adding gradient, a full view of the route elevation profile would be helpful. So used to using my Garmin with missing fields like grade, avg speed, eta to finish, and even the climb pro screen

Would be a good addition …

It would be nice if you could toggle each item in the HUD independently on or off like you can the power graph across the bottom of the screen via the companion app. Long tap to toggle between sections of the HUD and then tap to turn a section on and off? It would also be nice to toggle the thumbs up icon above the riders heads on and off or make it less obtrusive in the hidden HUD mode. Maybe a small thumbs up on the riders back or something?

I’ve been away from Zwift for the past year due to injury. I can not believe that they have not improved the companion app at all. Not only would I like to see the gradient, but I would like to see how much farther I need to go until a climb ends. Maybe change the color of the road?

Just started with Zwift and would also LOVE to see an option for a larger profile view with my progress on it, and maybe distance to next summit/KOM if any. I do not find the map in upper right helpful. I can see riders in front of me, and the rider list below, so the map for me doesnt add value. That said, Zwift is a huge improvement over my non-smart old-school Cyclops trainer, I no longer dread the basement and get a MUCH better work out in 30-60 minutes than I ever got before.
