No problems, wish could edit courses

By FriscoSki (Pcmac user)

i've had no prob w app on mac with catalina, on NeoBike. Do wish the courses could be edited as in the old software, and the widgets are too big.
Expensive for what you get, poor support, lonely

By hack_the_planet (Pcmac user)

Being expected to pay a monthly fee to use the app's software to drive a $1000 trainer seems crazy to me. Their software advertises "heart rate" training programs but it turns out this feature doesn't actually exist. Unlike Zwift, it feels very lonely as there is noone else on the roads. The support form on the the app website apparently doesn't work. Nobody responded to my first email or Twitter message, either. Eventually I got a response when I contacted the app via Garmin. Waste of money, really. Get a Kickr Core and Zwift. The Neo hardware is neat but the best features aren't well supported by Zwift, and the app doesn't support their own software well.
Lack options

By Red Horseman (Pcmac user)

After buying a the app trainer you expect better sercive, like more free routes and films...not really.
dies before it opens:-(

By Jman889 (Pcmac user)

I was very excited to see this app working with my Neo but I can’t get it to start. Iike to think it will be fixed in the future.
