Wattbike Hub

Great app. Would be better if it would sync with my Garmin watch to track heart rate.

I use it with my Wattbike atom v2 and garmin dual heart rate strap. The heart rate drops out mid session constantly (but doesn’t disconnect from zwift so only appears to be a Wattbike hub issue). I have no finished session over 25 minutes where the heart rate has stayed connected. I also now have multiple instances of the left hand side graphical screen start flickering mid workout with the app then crashing, causing complete loss of data and ending the session. This is all from an iPhone 14 pro so I’m unsure what hardware issues there could be. Very frustrating given the investment in hardware.

With each update more and more of the free workouts are removed. I’ve already paid through the nose for the hardware, at least keep what was free from the beginning and stop adding new features behind a pay wall. If I’m going to pay for an app for my smart trainer, it’s not going to be this one.

Won’t stay signed in from latest update. Otherwise good app with decent workouts to get stuck into

Won’t easily connect to Hub app and Zwift. Resistance increases randomly to point of being unable to pedal. Then have to unplug, reconnect, access settings, reset, then restart activity. When riding in Zwift, power output is not reflected in app.

Generally speaking a good app and good intergration with the bike and other apps. No ability to use Apple Watch heart rate data makes this frustrating. I have to record on this app and on Apple Fitness to get a complete picture. Even if it’s not possible during the ride, postwork out could the App read the heart rate data (which it has access to) and impose it on the workout for the timeframe of the ride? I’m unlikely to buy a HR monitor for the 1-2 times a week I use the bike.

Works really well and is a great tool for training. Only issue is the heart rate measurement isn’t compatible with Apple Health

Pleased with the watt bike hub, the workouts are great and so much variety to cover. Tried the watt bike hub plus 30 day trial but did not feel it justified the price and have not really used the content. Unfortunately I forgot to cancel the subscription and it has renewed for an entire year (as of 17/03/24). I was hoping that I could get a refund for this error if possible? Many thanks otherwise for the excellent Wattbike hub standard service.

First up - for a free training app it’s pretty good. But it’s clunky, the programmes are inflexible (it works off a 5 day week - or seems to), and for some reason my rides don’t always register with the programme so it looks like I’ve missed sessions, which is annoying. But whether that’s my phone/tablet or the app I don’t know, but zwift had no issues. I’ll keep using it but wish it would improve, but it’s free……apart from spending 2k on a Wattbike haha. Edit - Also after looking at other reviews it seems that having to log on constantly and HR monitors not working all the time are normal. I thought it was my iPad letting me down.

Using with the Atom, and its good, but implementing some simple improvements would make a huge difference. Firstly, taking HR from Apple Watch would be a huge improvement, can’t believe this isn’t a thing. Also allowing user to edit the top 3 data fields (watts, hr, distance etc) while riding and saving the configuration would also be a huge improvement. I can’t be bothered to put a HR monitor on for every ride (see first suggestion) so the HR field is just dead space.
