I have what I need for Zwift, including a compatible smart trainer, bluetooth cadence and heart rate sensors etc but what I don’t have is a PC capable of running it.
On the FAQ on the site it’s indicated that there is an iOS version in the works? Is this still the case (and I don’t mean the connect app), so I could use my iPhone or iPad to play Swift without having to connect it to a PC?
From what I understand, iOS is something we’d like to do, but it’s not a sure thing or on the immediate roadmap.
With Zwift being as graphically demanding as it is, porting it would be a lot of work (and we’re a small studio), so we’re going to be focusing on other basic features for the game first.
I would love to be able to connect my iPhone or iPad and not have to lug my MacPro to my Pain Cave. Is it unreasonable to get a response on an update. Even if it had the metrics w/o the graphics an IOS version would be helpful and get more users online more often $$$$$$.
Another scenario: I am on vacation and I brought my bike along. A few rainy days, I got a trainer along with me, but I didn’t want to bring PC, cables, etc. so an iPhone app would be ideal! I’ll be out of town for a while, so instead I am pausing my subscription.
I’m on the IOS train as well. I already have a tablet mount for my bike as I came from using the tacx app to zwift. Being able to run zwift on my iPad while still able to use the tv for media consumption or even ipad+trainer on vacation would be a huge value add for me. It’d also be helpful convincing my wife to ride with me as she cares zero about zwift but will join in if I turn on tv/movies/etc.
Personally I think they should also inform users here. I avoid Facebook at all costs and IMO, it’s a bummer that all the discussion about updates, etc happens there. I understand it is obviously a personal choice, but it is one platform I just don’t use.
