My Top 10 Cycling Apps of 2023 // Zwift Alternatives

Thanks for watching my top 10 indoor cycling video. Interested in the t-shirt? You can buy it here: cottonbureau.com/p/76ZF8R/shirt/stuck-indoors-ridi… Correction: ROUVY no longer offer the ability to run on their platform.

Awesome review, Tariq. Thank you. The new workout AI generation feature in Xert is a pretty cool feautre in the space, something no other system does. We're adding more capabilities around it as well. It's a key part of an optimized training plan.

If MyWhoosh is struggling to keep a user base right now, it’s because there are so many bugs in their app. I tried it for a week but, went back to another app for reliability. My training is too important to me to mess around with an app that works well part of the time. I have no doubt it will be great once they’ve worked out the kinks.

Great video, very informative. I use and like Wahoo SYSTM, the scenes and first-person peloton race videos are great, but they really need to up their AI/ adaptive features during a training plan. Currently there is no such feature. It’d be a shame if the only app with real scenery & first-person peloton views does not keep up with innovation and becomes obsolete

Just invested in a new Tacx neo 2t smart trainier,so I’m new to training apps and this review is excellent for me starting out…Thank you 🙏🏻

I always appreciate your cycling app overview videos, so I get an update on what’s new. However, I would separate the training focused apps (TrainerRoad, SYSTM and Xert) from the other apps. To compare TrainerRoad and Zwift doesn’t make much sense - two different worlds. In fact depending on how my season is going, I switch between training plans from SYSTM, TrainerRoad and Xert. Similar to you I always run in parallel Zwift or Fulgaz (in case I want to check out a route I am planning for my holidays). Thanks 🙏 and Happy New Year 🎉

❤ Great list, love the video!

Excellent, thanks for the rundown

Very helpful. Thanks!

Thank you Tariq as always for your videos. I have missed that you mention which programs are compatible with ANT+ or not. For the rest, as always, very clear and concise. Thank you! :)

Thanks for the comparison(?)/review to these apps. I am just getting back into cycling - or more correctly just "into" as it has been so many years! I am a 75 year old retiree that spent too much time on airplanes and behind laptop screens without much exercise for way too long. I tend to use the trainer differently than most as it is most used in Summer as I live in Florida and it is HOT and HUMID as well as the cycling on roads is really a little sketchy with much traffic and very narrow bike lanes. I currently use Swift as it came with the trainer but will most likely change as the subscription expires. My personal issue on most I have seen is I am not interested in racing or social activities. I am only interested in finding training programs the will help me with weight loss, health and endurance. I only use cycling to get out in nature and with to do some bike packing once my leg strength and aerobics are better. Your overview was insightful and educational and will look forward to seeing more as things progress. Thanks again!

Great video.

Great video!! :)

I have just purchased a new smart trainer ,so I’m new to the virtual training world..this is an excellent review for me…many thanks 🙏🏻

Great video what about doing a comparison on the companion app

Thanks for best information ever in cycling applications but still Zwift is the most reliable and efficient application I try MyWhoosh I think still needs some work to improve. Thanks coach I appreciate your efforts ❤

Rouvy ended their running platform quite some time ago as they wanted to focus on improving the cycling side of the platform.

👏👏 .. you are right regarding mywoosh, I tried to download on my not so old laptop and i couldnt do it.. didnt meet requirement, it crashed on my Nokia tablet.. finally i was able to run it on my mobile,

Pity zwift has a 38% price hike in June 24.

Another great video, Tariq!!! 👏👏👏 There was a lot of great information here. I have been a Zwifter for several years. But more and more I find myself thinking that I would enjoy platforms that allow me to virtially ride real roads around the world more. Certainly, hopping on a plane to travel to all these incredible riding locations is often not convenient and very unaffordable! Also, as Zwift has grown it has ironically become less "friendly", in my experience. Just yesterday, I rode the Surrey Hills route in London. I gave every rider that I passed, or passed me, a ride on. But I did not get a single Ride On in return. 🤦 That would never have happened when I first joined the platform. 🤷‍♂️
