Improve Event Search and Signup

I’m constantly amazed by just how difficult it is to find and signup for events in Zwift. I’ll learn about an event that sounds interesting, go to sign up for it and then get lost in the poor experience that is Zwift. A few suggestions that should be easy to implement:

  1. Create a Zwift Event homepage with featured events- those being promoted by Zwift. And by events I’m not talking about esports that Zwifters can watch on YouTube, I’m talking events that every Zwifter can participate in.
  2. Don’t promote events until people can actually sign up for them. This is just good manners.
  3. Rethink the list UI. This is a horrible way to navigate through events. Most of us aren’t interested in events that occur while we’re sleeping so maybe provide a way to filter by time or hide by default events taking place between say midnight and 5 am.

The opportunity to ride with a community of cyclists around the world is what keeps many of us subscribing to Zwift. I’ve long said that what Zwift leadership doesn’t seem to quite comprehend is that the community is the product. So how about making it easier for us to find and join those community events.

Try this one.

Sure… but why wouldn’t Zwift simply do the right thing?

I would add “free search (text)” to the item list.

One thing that’s always confused me about the event info on the web site is that it doesn’t include the route unless it’s part of the description. That should be basic info on the event page, if not the event list, too.

:rofl:

Zwift own sponsored events are not even searchable on there own events page . And if you arrive at the event page from the external link it consists of blank detail . They have given up on it . You should too and use Zwifthacks or some of the similar ones who still try to support the product . Zwift clearly dont.
