I'll install the windows version, do workout and update my "review" 

Is it working on PC now? The last time I looked it was apple devices only.

*edit. Windows now supported! Let the testing commence.

My personal laptop is a little outdated to run this, and my work laptop anti virus software won't allow me to install.

I got the same error, when I updated the Directx, it started but now it hangs or crashes when I want to pair the trainer, seem like you need a machine with at least 16gb ram.

Sheesh, they aren't shy with their minimum specs hey! I'm grateful that Zwift runs on my potato PC

After 85min into a 90min workout the Whoosh app closes/crashes. Upon restarting it wants me to start again. I had 30s recovery between the work intervals to try figure out what’s going on, so just left it.

Played 2, won 1, lost 1

Luckily I build redundancy into my all my rides, and I have the workout on my Lezyne and also record on my Garmin (Vitality reasons).

Thanks for the feedback, lets give them a bit of time to sort it out, hopefully it will be worthwhile soon.

iOS

So Mywoosh doesn't like my pc. I've installed it on my android phone and it seems to work. I can't connect to a tv with my phone using hdmi and the TV I use to play my workouts on is as old as the hills so no chromecast.

 

I'll do  workout this week on my phone but that really sucks. My eyes are bad enough as it is.

Whoosh Take 3

Tested again on android (xiaomi pad - an itch that finally got scratched, but that's a different story) 

Works great. But shorts me on distance and time, but that's OK my garmin collects the numbers for training peaks. 

Erg works great on the neo although not as quick to get in the zone as zwift. 

I won't recommend it for free rides though. 

O ja, I don't like the fact that the strava map is out in the Atlantic ocean somewhere, but I suppose its the right thing to do with it being a virtual ride

If I recall, it was very close to the centre of Earth (zero degrees, long and lat).

So @Frosty and @fanievb what are your thoughts? Worth ditching Zwift (or whatever). It's a bit of a grudge purchase for me right now but the 2 free alternatives are not good enough for me to ditch it.
