In general, our indoor cycling app has very low hardware requirements and communicates with many devices via Bluetooth.
The app runs on Windows PCs, macOS computers, iOS tablets/iPads and Android tablets.
In general, the app also runs on smartphones, but we recommend a display of >10 inches for the best experience.
Let us know which device you train with. This helps us expand the list.
Of course you can also train with the software without a smart trainer, but then you have to set the resistance on your device yourself. You can also use the icTrainer software for spinning, for example.
Bluetooth vs. ANT+
Important: The software only connects to devices via Bluetooth LE and not via ANT+ (exception: heart rate chest straps under Windows and MacOS).
Advantage: No ANT+ dongle is required for connection to a tablet, laptop or computer. You can continue to measure all your training performance in parallel via ANT+ on your normal fitness tracker (bike computer, fitness watch, etc.) and also transfer it to the app of your choice and we communicate with the devices in parallel via BluetoothLE.
So we don’t force you into a different ecosystem for your training evaluations.
