There are some significant changes for version 3.54 of the Zwift Companion app.
Starting with this release, Zwift Companion will require iOS 15 or newer. Companion v 3.53 will continue to function, but will be the last version compatible with iOS 13 or 14, and Zwifters on iOS 13 or 14 may not see features updates. If you are using iOS 13 or 14, you will see messaging to update within the Zwift Companion app and should also receive notification via email. The iPhone 6s and newer models can be updated to iOS 15. See this forum thread for details
Starting in this release, Zwifters will be able to explore and discover all the Workouts and Workout Collections available in Zwift from the Zwift Companion Appâmaking it easy to see all Zwift workouts & help you work toward fitness goals. Your training zones will be displayed, making it easy to identify the best workouts for your goals, before you even jump on the bike!

Do you have questions or issues to report? Let us know in this thread.
Did the world schedule on Android get fixed, it is currently off by a day and shows the incorrect worlds available to ride? Update, nope it is still off by a day.
I donât see workouts anywhere either? Where exactly do you go to explore and discover workouts?
Thanks for flagging this. The new workout feature in Companion v 3.54 is a phased rollout. Some of you are seeing it today - all of you will see it tomorrow. Sorry we didnât communicate this earlier.
This seems like only half of a scenario. I can browse and find workouts on the companion, but I donât see anything I can do with them there. I canât queue them up, add them to a calendar, mark them as favorites, or make a specific workout show up on the homescreen next time I log in.
I guess I donât understand the point of being able to see the workouts but not do anything with them.
So my related request is allowing one or more of the following:
Queue up a workout: When I find a workout Iâd like to do next I can mark it in some way from the companion app so it will show on the home screen next time I launch Zwift.
Favorite a workout: When I find an interesting workout I can mark it as a favorite, thereâs a folder, or pivot in workouts to show all favorites, and an entry point on the homescreen to get to my favorite workouts.
Workout calendar: Add workouts to a calendar from the companion app, when you launch zwift on that day the workout shows front and center at the top.
Assuming you can actually do something with the workouts from the companion app then it would also be good to allow people to filter via text/metadata, and search the workout list (this would be useful both in the companion and the main app). If I know I want to queue up the gorby, I should be able to type âgorbyâ, the list filters to that by the time I type âgorâ, then I hit âqueueâ, or âfavoriteâ, or âadd to calendarâ, or whatever action Zwift decides is a useful one to do to workouts from the companion app rather than have to figure out whether itâs in the 30-60min or the 60-90min folder etc.
Basically my intention when browsing workouts on the companion app is either: Find something to do next, find a few workouts I like to do some time in the future, mark certain workouts as favorites, or to build a calendar of workouts.
Weâre pausing the phased rollout to investigate a very small number of Companion app crash reports weâre seeing in on our server telemetry.
If you are experiencing this Companion app crash after updating to version 3.54, please weigh in on this thread, and let us know if youâre using iOS or Android and what actions you were taking when the app crashed.
Thatâs a fair assessment as of this week. This is the first step in a larger body of work to make it easier to hit your fitness goals. We mentioned on This Season on Zwift that youâll be able to queue up your rides and routes, and that is a piece of the ongoing work.
