Today we are releasing Zwift Companion version 3.13 for iOS and Android devices. This update should be available in the Apple App Store and Google Play store in the next few hours.
This release has a few very cool features for Meetups that we think you’ll enjoy.
Meetups on 6 different worlds
First up, we’ve added the ability for Zwifters to select additional worlds for their Meetups. No longer are you tied to the Watopia + Guest Worlds schedule for your Meetup needs. You can now schedule a meetup on Watopia, Innsbruck, London, New York, Richmond or Yorkshire. Get out there an explore (and earn some route achievements with your friends!)
Invite up to 100 followers to your meetup
Secondly, we’ve increased the meetup invite limit from 50 invites to 100. This means you and 100 of your closest friends can enjoy crushing segment PRs or just crushing along via the Meetups system.
Meetups continue to be a very popular way for Zwifters to ride and run together and we’re working hard to bring new functionality to the system. Let us know what other features you would like to see for Meetups in the thread below.
In addition to the Meetups improvements, we’ve also added a few other features and bug fixes including:
Adidas Runtastic connection support
Meetup invite improvements
Numerous Zwift Clubs fixes and improvements
If you see any issues with the latest update, please let us know in the thread below.
One addition I would love to see is being able to turn off “keep everyone together” mid ride for the sprint and KOM segments, then turn it back on to regroup everyone. Is this possible in a future update?
Also, being able to put a discord link in the description would be fantastic, currently it is not a “clickable” link when copy and pasting them into the companion app.
Will it be possible to create a link to a meetup so that we can post it on our website so people can just click it and the first 100 will get into the meetup. Instead of selecting 100 riders from our favorites.
Would be good on the running, that the lead comments can be seen by all the group through out the whole run no matter the distance. as we are a running group with different paces the motivational comments will not reach all runners once the field is spread out.
Most requests would be covered by the club functionality, but a couple of good things for meetups would be:
Option to hide other riders
Allow more text in the description
Late join
Allow a fence - would be great to have a fence rather than keep people together, then release the fence for sprints or climbs. Or even toggle between keep everyone together or not, to achieve the same thing
@Wes please could we have the option for the meetup to be a ‘race’ on the same drop down as the ‘keep everyone together’
The only additional things in game would need to be a leaderboard whilst riding and then one at the end, just like races are at the moment on zwift.
Another here backing the late join as well, many of our club members have not been able to get into a meet.
maybe also instead of 3 mins before the event the join event comes up change it to 5 mins
Any chance you can fix the “do it again” function so it doesn’t remove random riders from the previous meetup? It gets difficult having to go in and doublecheck and include anyone dropped off. Thanks!
@Wes it would be really cool to be able to turn on/off Keep everyone together mid ride. Also if we can include Jarvis the Bear here (not only in Club Rides) as a pace setter, that would be great
Also, shareable invite links to join. Club Rides (if extended later for small clubs) mitigate this issue somewhat, but still, a shareble link would be great.
Make meetups ‘pubblic’ (for our follower at least) please. I admin a 140 people strong Group and during these days i have to send a ‘selection’ of invites asking who is interested or not.
