Dissappointed
26/01/2025
Disgruntled of Buckinghamshire
Very very dissappointed to learn that i now need a premium subscription to access any of the video based rides - even the ones i've ridden before. So, after a right old faff to get everythimng setup, i've only been able to do thr most basic (read boring) of workouts. So now, for a very occaisonal user like me, it's not going to be worth keeping any sort of paid subscription going. Highly likely I'll cancel altogether - unless therre's some alternative sort of subscription which suits me.

A backwards step

I’ve downloaded the new version of the App for my Mac and it’s underwhelming. So many features seem to have been removed or are ‘coming soon’, to name a few; cannot download the films any more, can’t continue a previous ride meaning you need to start again, you can’t display the video in the main window and have the map view in a smaller window, on the map view you can’t zoom in or out and the view is set directly above rather than above and behind meaning you can never get a good view of all the remaining part of the ride and just see a small section. There’s also a complete lack of a help guide or tips leaving you searching for everything. On a positive note, you can now update and calibrate your trainer directly from the App which is good. In summary it feels like it was rushed and delivered well before it was finished, I’ll be sticking to the old desktop app for as long as I can and at the point, I must switch to the new one I’ll have to make the decision on whether it’s worth paying for the premium upgrade, at the moment I’m struggling to see what I’m getting for my money. Could it be the previous Desktop App was a Mac version of the full desktop product but Mac users are now being forced to use an App designed to run on an iPhone?

Hi, Thank you for your important feedback about the new application we will look in to this, some things have indeed gone away from the new application, we are still improving the new application and as you mentioned will add some features also later. You should still be able to download video's via the new Mac app.

Really great app but ...

... it has stopped working on my iPad and Mac☹️! The screen is unresponsive e.g. the sign in option on the iPad is inactive and nothing happens when you press it and it is the same on my wife's iPad. On the Mac the Sign in option is not just visible, just the text to "Sign in if you have a Garmin account". The app works well on my iPhone but I find the phone a little fiddling and difficult to see/operate whilst working out.

Rubbish - DO NOT BUY

I used to use the Tacx Desktop App on my Macbook. It was great. You could ride long sections over several days as and when you had the time. It told you the average gradient of hills including the average gradient of the remaining part of the hill and provided a good diagram of the rest of the hill.All these features have been removed despite having been paid for and being an important part of the service.I think that when Tacx ran the business themselves it was much better. Garmin are a global giant and no doubt the accountants have sought to improve the margins by massively downgrading the product. Disgrace!
