Zwift Companion v3.66 [January 2025]

I noticed yesterday and today that my Companion app is crashing. I’ve never experienced this before. I can reproduce it, for example,by pulling down to refresh in the Activities view. I updated to version 3.66.1 today still the same
Using IOS version.2.1

iPhone users please note. V3.66.2 is available in the Apple App Store. for everyone.

Looks like routes is missing/not working on iPhone SE in the 3.66.2 update. The tile on the front page doesn’t open routes and when going into the menu, its missing from there too.

My List is also not showing in your screengrab, is that just because it’s scrolled off the top?

I’m still seeing it on my iPhone 15, Companion 3.66.2, iOS 18.3

That is the full screen grab from my wifes phone minus her name/photo cropped off the top. Activities is at the top of the menu on her phone.

For comparison, below is mine.

Her phone: iPhone SE 2020, iOS 18.3, Zwift Companion 3.66.2
My phone: iPhone 13, iOS 18.3, Zwift Companion 3.66.2

To be honest, we didn’t notice “My List” missing on hers, only “Routes” :man_shrugging:

strange… I have an SE, but haven’t updated CA yet… and maybe I won’t until there’s some further confirmation of this issue.

Just checked my daughters phone. iPhone SE, iOS 18.3, companion 3.66.1.

Still has “My List”. Can access Routes from the home screen tile. But “Routes” is missing from the menu screen.

Definitely an iPhone SE 3.66.2 issue

Any chance of getting a companion page that shows all the HUD elements?
Power, speed etc. But also current gradient, climb pro, (new) route profile and completion.
We should be able to see all the HUD elements on the companion app, even if it’s spread over a few different pages.

Agreed; lots of relatively low fruit to improve the in game Companion functions IMO.

Repeat of the in game HUD with all of the varying data fields available; and ability to just tap the data field to scroll through options etc.

The option to have all data on the Companion app and then ride with zero clutter on the main game screen. (Companion is just like a head unit on an outdoor ride that way).

Since maybe 3 updates ago, I have ongoing issues feeling much less draft no matter where I am in a group. Also, messaging in Companion has become nearly impossible. The moment I tap in the message field, it becomes hidden because the bottom portion of the app screen moves up and obscures the message field completely. I have to tap the alternative keyboard symbol, which reveals the field then tap back to regular keyboard to type. As a ride leader this has made messaging much more challenging. I deleted and reinstalled the app, no change. I’m on the latest versions of the game on Apple TV 4K, and on the app on an iPhone 16 Pro. Any solutions?

The keyboard blocking the text field also has been happening to me with the iPhone 14 Pro, I think since about two Companion versions ago. I sometimes just press “send” and cross my fingers I’m not going to get an email from Compliance. The text field comes back after sending text which I can’t see that I typed.

That said, I run Zwift on a PC and I have a Bluetooth keyboard that I can pair with my phone and PC. When I use the Bluetooth keyboard to type on the phone into Companion (mostly for Private Messages), and press Enter, the text cursor doesn’t automatically rehome into the Input field in Companion, I have to tap it each time. This is really annoying.

Happening also iPhone 15 pro for me as well.

Only workaround is to type a full stop symbol.

I have an English keyboard and emoji keyboard set in the options.

@GregRajkovic I appreciate your reply, and hope someone from Zwift will respond to clarify if this is a known bug that will be corrected. It has added such a challenge to leading.

@H_Williams_Velos as a ride leader myself, I totally empathize with frustrations while leading. In fact, mine is that the SEND GROUP TEXT function in ZwiftApp, when you message in the game directly with a keyboard, supports about half of the character entry of Companion for whatever reason. I wish they would fix this. I end up sending many small messages because I find it difficult to chat with Companion and ride and also consider if I use my voice for text, that it goes into Companion “Safe for Zwift” which is hard to ascertain because Companion only offers a single-line text box and not a multi-line one where I could see all of the words, before I hit send. Scrolling with my finger is a showstopper to use Companion for messaging.
