Integration with Garmin partnership with Strava

App demands integration with Garmin and now doesn’t upload to Strava. Also do not see options to export workout or manual upload to StravaSo after receiving response, Tacx can no longer export directly to Strava. All instructions one may see online for options are no longer valid. You must connect via Garmin Connect then the transfers can occur. With the transfer through Garmin Connect it appears you lose the title and description of the virtual ride provided by Tacx and the generic description of morning, afternoon, etc ride.

Needs Apple Health support and more options

I love that I’m able to just hop on and go with this app, but the lack of connection to the constant heart rate monitor on my wrist is a big negative. If I could control the resistance from my watch too it would be amazing.I ride a single-speed road/track bike, and I may not know the full range of features of the app but I feel like there should be a more intuitive way to set myself off on a more tailored training route for my bike. I’m always at the lowest possible resistance on my Tacx Flow because I don’t have the ability to change gears.Overall it’s a good app for the mandatory indoor exercise we have to do now, but needs some more features.

Meets my needs but needs refinement

Good: The interface is good. It connects with my trainer great. I can upload my own GPS routes and ride them. I get to experience the elevation changes smoothly. The view shows a cool overhead map view as I progress on the course while also showing current cycling data and an elevation profile- all the things I want at once. The rides will sync with my Strava account automatically if I choose.Bad: No way to edit my own uploaded GPS workout names/titles. Also - GPS rides feature a “select subcourse” option but there are no subcourses when I select it and no instructions for creating a subcourse in a GPS file. No instructions for the app on TacX or Garmin sites - and no manual either. Tutorial videos? TacX tutorial videos are way too old and don’t match the current program. FAQs don’t scratch the surface.

The trainer is great the systems to support are terrible

Got the app and tried to login in with my Garmin account (since Garmin owns Tacx). The app appeared to login but spun for 30+ minutes. I tried the desktop app and the web interface, non-worked. I chatted with support (that was semi-hard to find after my email to support email listed here bounced with we do not proved support here anymore) and they say a Tacx account created today but could not reset the password or fix anything (seems something in their backend does not work properly).Long story short, cannot log in or create a log in. App thus has no functionality and trainer cannot work with the app it is supposed to work with. Understand there are options, one could buy other trainers, a tacx trainer should work with the app and the systems that support the app should work well enough to allow someone to actually use the app. Garmin and tacx have lots of work to do here. Everything works great until it doesn’t. then... your lack of serious support comes forward and you leave your customers hanging.Would not recommend until they have their systems fixed. I was a new to tacx user and right out off the box the app failed.

Lost all my Tacx data

When Tacx cloud migrated and merged with Garmin cloud, all my Tacx data were lost! The app would keep repeating the two accounts had merged successfully, but in reality all Tacx data (rides, activities, workouts, personal settings etc.) were lost. No chance to fix this, the customer support doesn’t reply to emails, the customer support webpages don’t even load. All this came on top of Garmin’s decision to cancel Tacx previous model and brought in monthly subscriptions for the things (GPS rides, videos etc.) that we had paid for before, when buying the trainer, the software, the videos... So much of my money, time and frustration went into this, with poor to no result. A huge disappointment, Garmin lost their credibility completely. I’m seriously considering selling all my Garmin equipment and switching over to Wahoo.

Like it....but!

This is the only app I use with my NEO 2T. I like it a lot for huge variety of routes.But there’s is an issue I don’t like. Seems like there are lazy programmers in your team.Why, when I ride on GPS (London, NY) and accidentally touch the screen, the map stop moving and my position is moving away. There’s no way to re-center my position and let the map to move like before. My exercise is always ruined.Actually the same is happening in movie rides. When I switch during ride from street view to satellite view and adjust (zoom in/out) the re-center button on left would disappear and here I’m again with not moving map. So disappointing.

Good but needs a few more tweaks

So I’ve done 5 rides on my Tacx Trainer using the app on my iPad. I’m really enjoying the options in Tacx, but I have a few suggestions for improvement. - Better user support: the guides online at Garmin are the same a as the basic setup guide shipped with the trainer, and the app doesn’t really help there, either. I had to Google for tips on how to set everything up and get started. - real-time prompts: some audio cues while in a workout would be helpful, including prompts when you get out of a training zone- Upload photos when syncing to social media: I’ve only figured out how to upload the map and data to Strava, but my friends who use Zwift can show some screen captures from their rides. If you were picking a training app and were using yours friends’ activities as a guide, which one would look more attractive? Personally I like the real life videos rather than a video game interface. - Ride analysis is messed up. My screen only shows three bottom part of the graphs for speed, power, cadence, etc., but I can look at all that in Strava, anyways.

Worst

I spent hundreds of dollars on downloading films and I can’t play them in this app. I hear they want recurring revenue and they want you to subscribe. Like a razor and razor blade. But a razor costs next to nothing. It is bull that Tacx expects you to pay almost a thousand dollars for the razor and then wants to charge you another 200 bucks a year to use the razor. Total ripoff. Time to look into Wahoo.Plus you used to be able to make gps routes of your outside rides and use them on the trainer using the cycling app which was great and it was free. Now they expect you to pay to do that. I want the 3000 dollars back that I spent on 3 Tacx trainers plus the cost of the movies I bought all of which are now useless as this app is also clunky. It’s awful that Garmin stole this ability from me AFTER I bought the product. I want the money to go get Wahoo equipment because they at least live to their commitments.

Too many bugs

I bought a $1400 tacx neo 2 under the assumption that I would be able to control it. This app is the only controller for the trainer. It is a disaster. It requires constant internet. Even with a solid WiFi connection the app is extremely slow to respond when setting up a workout. If I turn off my phone screen in the middle of a workout the app fails to restart the workout and I have to force quit and start over. The company advertises pedal stroke analysis on their website but fails to include the feature on mobile. It’s only available when you sit in front of a windows 10 computer while you workout.If I could return my trainer I would. This is a classic example of making things “smart” and “internet connected” done poorly— with disastrous results. Tacx needs to fix this software as a responsibility to all the customers who paid massive amounts of money for a hamstrung piece of equipment

Great alternative to Zwift, but a few problems remain in training analysis

This is a really outstanding app to use with a smart trainer. The virtual ride experience is much more realistic than Zwift; the model used for the climbing and descending is much better, and the road feel available on a Tacx Neo trainer or Neo Bike is a nice feature.Problems: both on the iPad and iPhone version, the analysis graphs (of speed, power, heart rate, etc.) available at the end of a ride do not get plotted with proper scaling of the data; much of the data goes off scale, and there is no way currently to resize the y axis of the graphs. This needs to be addressed.Also: there should be a way to send the ride data to the Garmin Connect service in addition to Strava. At least one would expect that the Garmin Connect service would be an option given that Garmin International now owns Tacx. Maybe this can be added in a future version.Overall, this is really great app, and I prefer it to using Zwift because these rides available are real world. One can try out the courses for Milan-San Remo or the Tour de France climbs. (I need to be much fitter to survive the latter...).
