Currently the most useful Android bike computer app for training (especially interval training). The runner up is Wahoo Fitness, but Wahoo lacks the right views for power based training, and flakes out a lot. However, this app could use a bit of a user experience / design overhaul. The feature set is great, the way it's presented is a bit painful.
Pros:
- integrates well with all the bluetooth sensors I have (heart rate, speed/cadence, power meter)
- uploads to a wide assortment of sites out there (including strava and training peaks)
- very customizable, I was able to make almost exactly the layout I want
- so far seems reliable (just did a small ride however)
- I'll have to get used to the Start Sensors vs start trip flow, but I think I might like that
- ability to merge rides in the UI is an awesome feature
- great that it can trigger calibration on power meters
Cons (most are nitpicks):
- UI is pretty ugly
- wish it gave better default names to rides. Putting the date as the name would be better than "IpBike_6". Better yet is do what Wahoo does and put Date + Geo location of start. ** Really annoying you can't have 2 rides with the same name.
- switching between views is slow, and the UI jumps around a bit
- the in-ride controls could use space better. I would redesign the controls as follows: ** Initial UI should just have a Start button. It'd be better if it went through a flow of: *** [Start Sensors] => [Start Trip] => [Pause Trip][ Lap ] => [Resume Trip][Stop Trip][Stop Sensors] *** This would make the buttons that are relevant bigger and easier to hit *** Also would get rid of the need fo rthe "separate lap button" option
- would be nice to have a "blank slate" view, that doesn't have anything on it, for when people want to configure everything themself
- would be nice if the background hiding of controls could sit behind more than just the "automatic main sensor display". I am using a fully custom setup, without the main sensor display, and wish the lap / pause button could be hidden behind it
- would prefer google maps over open street maps
- I don't understand what the << and >> buttons do in the edit screen UI. I was hoping they'd help me move reorder widgets, or make it easier to add a new widget to the top, but I can't seem to find they do anything
- wish the back button did more, in particular, I wish clicking back would switch me out of edit screen view and back to the normal view
- there's inconsistencies/typos in the UI ** "separate lap button" should be "Separate lap button" ** cuttent position => current position
- if you upload a ride, and then merge a ride, there's no way to re-upload
So overall, it's very functional, but could really use some UI / UX love. Would be happy to provide more detailed feedback
