Tacx Training for Android
Super buggy. Says I'm doing 18mph when I'm not moving or spinning. Where is the exit option? Ignore robotic reply from Tacx. Tried to work with them and got no response other then the first one publicly stating that they can help.
I don't understand why it records my workout with no issue, and at the end I confirm to save the workout, but then when I check my activities, it's not there!
App worked until the last update. Now I can't calibrate my flow smart trainer. Needs some serious improvements to get anything higher than I have given it
I like the new UI and added landscape mode. I was having some issues with activities taking hours to upload but that might have been something with tacx cloud.
Last version worked 10x better than the one before.
Perfect for my needs, just a pity you can't connect and train with others.
Give me the old app back at least that worked. New app is completely useless it won't hold bt connection and crashes middle of training session. Being unable to exit is really frustrating. Sorry tacx but I take my training seriously and this updated app is a total waste of my pedalling
Sublime update! Looks nice, works much better. Doesn't crash any more when starting gps workout. Keep up the good work!
I have now tried using this on 2 separate devices and it is atrocious. It absolutely canes the battery both devices went from 100% charge to 20% during a 30 minute training ride During use the blue tooth lost connectivity 4 times in 30 minutes. You can't close the app when you finish your session. The old app worked perfectly for me the updated app is a total waste of time I may as well fit my old cat eye computer onto the bike and use that. Tacx you have really messed up can you advise what other apps i can use as this is a complete waste of time? Update 23/11/17 just tried again 3 Bluetooth drops in 30 minutes and completely drained battery from 100% charge to totally flat meaning I lost all the data Tacx this is simply not good enough I never had these issues with the old app please give us a link to the old app of fix this one tonight
Latest fix adresses the save crash however does not connect to my wahoo Tickr X. Very disappointing ????
Genuine rubbish. Connection drops out all the time. Unusable. What's the point in buying a tacx flux if the software is junk.
Poor poor app. Plagued with connection problems. Although seems to work a bit better with Samsung galaxy as of Oct / Nov 2017. Same with calibration. There's no pause workout button, and for some reason there isn't a button to start a new lap for interval training. App also won't run in the background with the screen turned off which is a pain ( I bought a power meter, and only use the app for changing resistance now)
Terrible. Was ok until recent update. No longer able to connect. Renders my vortex trainer useless. Aweful
After the update the app is messed up. Can not use zwift and the tacx app at the same time.
If I could give negative I would. Software is garbage and never connects - ever. If you want to spend a lot of money on a smart trainer that doesn't give any feedback. This is the one!
Couldn't connect, when it eventually did it just continually dropped out after 2 seconds. Really unintuitive, doesn't inspire much hope for the turbo itself.
Dropouts, non connect, constantly - software has always been poor in the past and not improving - extra ordinary that my Samsung S8 clearly identifies the BT Bushido but TACX software can't connect. Dual BT and AMT+ for Bushido?! No option for ANT+ alternate connect. Disappointing TACX!
I'm raising my review rating to three stars because the latest update fixed a lot of the worst bugs and connection issues I've been facing. It's still far from ideal but it's a step in the right direction. I was training and the resistance control on the app got stuck. Really awful experience. Also, it's not very user friendly and difficult to use
Unsure why so many bad reviews Connected to my tacx sartori smart trainer first time and calibration was simple. Emails a tcx file immediately after you finish that is easily uploaded to strava.
You need to look at your reviews, it doesn't take a genius to work out your software is garbage. A 12 year old could build a better app. Please sort it out
The application is still a joke. You need to monitor your bpm all the time since the range fluctuates +/- 15 bpm from the setpoint... Also you cannot save a workout cos the app crashes...
Completely useless unless you get an expert to show you, as there is no instructions on how the trainer and app. Work. They expect you to figure it out yourself. Don't even provide you with an internet link.
I have continuously had issues connecting to my trainer. it is so frustrating @
Awesome app. 3 thing that would make it super awesome 5 start worthy 1. Being able to import GPX files 2. Having a virtual profile for slope workouts 3. being able to run it in landscape mode
So bad it's a joke, had it first a few years ago, went back to it recently and couldn't believe it's the same.
Not user friendly. Can't get workouts or any plan. Can connect it to my trainer but not useful without workouts!
Worst app I have used. Not intuitive, poor instructions or none at all!
9 times out of 10 days is bluetooth connected but won't show any data. Worthless.
Two days of frustration and the trainer is still not connected and its a tacx trainer!!
Rubbish. Waste of time calibration not available as are several other options.
If I had read the reviews first I'd never have bought the tacx turbo trainer package, when it decides to eventually work and you move to a different screen it just packs in and refuses to work again ... i had for a long time thought it was me that couldn't set it up properly but on reading your reviews I'm not the only person to have problems even after you claim to have fixed the bugs ..in your favour the turbo trainer is excellent for the price shame about your app and Bluetooth device ...sorry
Can't even open it without it crashing
Website claims you can use the app to ride films, you can't. My turbo trainer will be going back to the shop.
It won't work for me
Please add exit button
Great free app. Keeps getting biger and better.
Complete trash
Just downgraded my app via Google search of tacx training apk and apk pure website. Appalling latest updated rendered neo useless and crashed my phone. Same issues as other users and reviewers here have said. Awsome hardware with the very opposite in software. Come on tacx. Get it together your costing us lost training days
++ Seems to record & display the data from Satori Smart OK ++When opening a GPS workout, no play button is displayed as in the youtube video, so this function is useless ++ Ate 70% battery in 30 mins. ++ Will look at a cycleops next time.
by Q####:
The app is not properly compatible with the Satori Smart trainer - calibration always fails. Doing what the app suggests (loosening the brake) at best doesn't improve the result. Been happening for years it turns out and Tacx's response is essentially "not our problem". When I contacted support I was advised to spend more than the cost of the trainer to send it in for repair. Which, considering how many reports I've seen that calibration doesn't work, is mythical.
