• New Enhanced Activity Feed, complete with activity details. You can now see all the run or ride data in detail, along with interesting things that happened along the way.
• Meetups. You can now invite your followers to ride or run with you at a set time and place.
• Training Plan View. With the whole plan now visible you can now see what is coming up, as well as inspect your previous workouts.
I like the activities. I like how the speed of the payback is relative to your actual effort. I’m curious if it can be slowed down, paused or reversed. I would like to see an elevation profile of the route.
I like the events arrangement by day.
I like the meetups. I think that might be the coolest feature so far.
My iPhone is in Chinese, but the app has always used English. The latest update did not change that. Even if wanted to, I can’t find a place in the Companion app to change the language.
Android.
Phone Samsung S5, Tablet Nexus7, both switch the app language to the device language.
I prefer using apps in English, because most times the translations are not correct or the words do not exactly match the meaning.
The race results by themselves are just adding fuel to the fire; no-one takes the Zwift scoreboard seriously after an event as they are not filtered correctly (Wkg/Cat/ZP etc), and the display of these should be optional for race organisers. ZP is the ultimate results board and that should be encouraged by Zwift. This just adds to confusion.
In this screenshot, the riders are all green in the Riders Nearby list.
Is this a feature of the “Meetup” functionality, or something internal to Zwift? If it’s part of the functionality, how does it work? Do you still see other Zwifters not in the same Meetup with grey backgrounds?
I had a bit of time to play with the Companion App and it look very powerful. I did not ride using the app but can’t wait to try it. It look promising.
