QZ Reviews

Can’t say enough good things about QZ. Firstly, it can integrate in so many different ways, and with so many devices, it’ll likely do whatever you need it to do. Personally, I needed an app that could connect to my indoor bike, grab all of its stats - speed, distance, cadence, watts, etc - and post them to Apple Health when my workouts ended. I also needed something that had an Apple Watch app so I could see those stats as I ride, and so that my rings would get closed properly. this app does all of that perfectly and then some.
But what I’ve been even more impressed by is the developer himself. I had tried so many different setups to accomplish what I was looking for, and none of them worked right, so before I had even downloaded QZ I emailed him to see if this app could do what I needed it to do. He responded to me within a few hours letting me know it could. Not only that, but as I’ve used QZ we’ve corresponded about the various features and how they work, and within a few days he had made a couple of changes and added new settings based on my feedback. Unreal.
If you’re looking for an app to help enhance your workout tracking - download this app. Believe me, it’s worth it. 10/10

Purchased an echelon rower off fb marketplace and was so disappointed by the echelon app and that I couldn’t see metrics on the bike without their subscription. We already have a peloton bike and use the peloton app so this allows me to use the echelon rower with the peloton mobile app and lets me view metrics.

With the amount of money people spend up front on these expensive pieces of equipment it’s soo
frustrating how companies will often lock ppl into expensive subscriptions and mediocre apps. Roberto’s app has given us the freedom of options. Thank you for creating QZ and being such a great collaborator with your users by listening/acting on feedback.

Breaks the metrics/data “out” of my Echelon EX5 so that I can now use the bike with any of the common apps - zwift, MyWhoosh, and more. Fantastic work!

On another note, what makes QZ stand out is developer support. The developer is constantly on Facebook and GitHub to answer and address (endless!) user questions, kindly and professionally. It’s stunning!

The best person to buy this: Someone who has a bike with Bluetooth metrics features (most do now) who wants to use the bike with Android/IOS (or more - Win/Mac) apps that aren’t from that bike’s manufacturer. If that’s you, grab QZ quickly; it’s a bargain! It makes your bike “open”.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon QZ. I am a peloton app user and really enjoy it but a little bummed I was missing out on things like power zone rides. I also never knew what my outputs were like so I couldn’t measure if I was improving. QZ solved all of those problems. It takes a bit to get everything set up but once you do, it’s so seamless. There’s an active fb community where the developer answers any questions or technical difficulties. I can’t recommend this enough - GET QZ! I’m so happy I found this so I can get even closer to a peloton experience without paying for the full price of it!

I cannot say enough good things about QZ - connects to a lot of equipment and can control resistance. I personally use it for my Echelon EX5 and use the Peloton app. All rides are auto resistance, and if you use PZ training, you can enter your FTP and it will follow. Gam changer!!!

Also the developer. This guy is amazing. He works so hard to ensure QZ works against so much equipment. He is very active in the FB group and answers questions all the time. He goes out of his way to make sure he answers everyone and the community will help you get your equipment working.

Highly recommend!!!

I have 2 different spin bikes 1 is a less expensive Poo Boo, and the other a Pelaton
I stopped the subscription for the Pelaton and wanted to use Zwift with both. Spending a lot of time trying many different things nothing was working correctly with Zwift. Garmen Power meter pedals made my Zwift dude go way to slow.
Magen Cadence/speed sensor just would not stay connected. And Wahoo Cadence and Speed sensors would make my Zwift dude go way to fast.
I was about to give up when I came across the this app / Zwift app.
WOW!!!
This is an Amazing app, and Roberto …. I can not say enough Fantastic things about him!
He is extremely quick to respond to any questions I had, and keep in mind he is in Italy.
He worked patiently with the issues I had and after a few tweaks he suggested and making sure I had all the connections opened and set properly
We got the Wahoo Speed and Cadence sensors to work perfectly with Zwift!!!!
5 stars does not even come close to what Roberto deserves. It’s more like 100+!
Thanks again Roberto!🤠

Thank you Roberto!!!
I have found that whenever something is easy for others, it has to be difficult for me. I bought a new Horizon 7.8 and was very frustrated to find it did not auto-incline as expected with Zwift. After buying and downloading Roberto’s app, I had some some trouble getting it working. Roberto worked with me directly to make sure it worked seamlessly. I cannot imagine how much work he puts into his app so that it can function with the numerous pieces of equipment and apps that are available. It is worth every penny and I am grateful that I am able to train again no matter what the weather is!!!

What a wonderful app! After using my tri bike on an indoor trainer for the past year I found myself getting bored and frustrated by my inability to really ride strong when out of the saddle. I decided to really consider the Peloton bike even though the price tag seemed over-the-top to me. When doing some research I discovered a really convincing community of bikers who bought the Echelon bike ( for 1/4 the cost) and were swearing by QZ to essentially turn that Echelon bike into a Peloton. After a working through a few kinks, I am sold! QZ provides all the metrics you could want for less than $5! Seriously, it’s worth way more than that. If you’re considering it, buy it and give it a go, you’ll love it!

QZ easily connects with Echelon sports rower I purchased from Walmart. It also sync data with Strava for maintaining my stats. My only concern is how it measures distance. Looks like there is a bug while calculating distance. For example for very moderate work out for 20 min it shows that distance about 18,000 meters that is impossible ! Hope developers fix this soon.

Update: within two days developer (Roberto Viola) contacted me and provided access updated Beta version with this bug fixed. New app worked like a charm and developer also acknowledged to fix minor bug related to distance decimal places in chart page. So he deserves 5 stars !

I bought QZ so that I could take advantage of auto-inclination with Zwift & my Sole F85 treadmill.

Out of the box, no data was sent back and forth. I could have figured that one out on my own, but QZ does have a ton of different settings that are not at this time totally self-explanatory, so it would have take some time. Working with Roberto via the Facebook group and then Messsenger, we were easily able to get the speed data transmitting.

It took a little more checking to get the auto-inclination going, but we did it. Roberto was super-responsive and very quick and clear in his communications with me. The experience was great.

I’m using QZ while riding an Echelon EX-3 and the Peloton app. I had previously been riding a Sunny bike with a cadence sensor and HRM. I love that I can now see all my metrics in the this app app on my phone (I mount it to my handlebars) and cadence/HR in Peloton app as well so I still get that ride summary too. It took me a few minutes to set up and get everything working but the guide is very helpful and so is the Facebook group run by the developer. I had one issue with my settings and when I posted a question there I had an answer within minutes and was able to finish my setup perfectly. Highly recommend.

UPDATE: Coming back to boost my review, I wish I could give more than 5 stars! The new auto resistance feature is mind blowing. I can’t help but feel a certain level of smugness for having this part of the experience of the Bike+ riders without the huge price tag. QZ has leveled up my riding experience beyond my imagination, and the developer keeps adding new features.

I have been an avid Power Zone user for several years. Recently, when changes were made to QZ I had been using to access my data, I needed to find an alternative. That’s when I discovered this app-qdomyos-zwift. QZ itself provides more than enough data to track and compare my workouts, but what truly stands out is the exceptional customer service from the developer, Roberto Viola.

He is incredibly responsive, personally answering all questions in a timely and thoughtful manner. I’ve honestly never experienced this level of service before. The combination of a powerful app and such outstanding support makes this a rare find.

Thank you for your dedication and support!

I cannot say enough good things about the this app app and its developer. I had a very niche, single-use case involving my Echo Bike and a speed sensor—and within just a few hours of reaching out, the developer personally added support for exactly what I needed. That level of responsiveness and dedication is almost unheard of these days.

QZ itself is already packed with features and smart trainer integrations you won’t find anywhere else, but the fact that it’s actively maintained and supported by someone who truly cares just makes it next-level.

I’m seriously impressed and incredibly thankful. If you’re even remotely considering this app for your home gym setup—just get it. You won’t regret it.

Yes, QZ can require a little setup work, but it’s understandable given the vast range of exercise equipment it allows you to connect to apps like Zwift and myWhoosh. I wanted to build my own ‘smart rollers’ by connecting a Saris M2 resistance unit to my Tacx Galaxia rollers, using a powermeter for accurate power and the M2 for resistance. Without QZ, it would not even be worth trying. this app can act as a bridge to enable me to do this, Zwift can sort of do it natively (though if you try to run an erg workout it is terrible), myWhoosh cannot do it at all. An immense amount of work for Roberto, and he is often on github answering questions and solving problems, basically an unheard of level of support for an app developer to provide.

I recently purchased the Inspire IC 1.5 bike from Costco and while I was looking at reviews for this bike I came across information that the developer currently is running a beta for their app in order to connect the Inspire bike to the peloton app. I downloaded QZ and tested it out and it connected instantly. I will even say it connects to the bike faster than the Inspires own app to it bike. I tested out QZ and QZ works perfectly in conjunction with the peloton app. The developers for their app really created something awesome and to create a program that displays the cadence and resistance conversion to the peloton metrics as well. I ran a couple of peloton workouts with QZ and it worked flawlessly. Thanks again for taking the time to make an amazing app!

QZ is very complex, but offers extreme levels of functionality when learned that completely opens the gates for your equipment. For example, you can have QZ control your resistance as you follow along with a Peloton class from a non-Peloton bike, giving you the Bike+ experience for a fraction of the cost. No more fiddling with the resistance manually!

Now, there are limitations that still exist. For example you can’t compete on Peloton leaderboards with this method because it’s cleverly following along with the workouts from the workout data published online, but cannot insert your data into it. So it’s a bit one way, however all of your workout data will still be tracked into your health app of choice, such as Strava, post-workout.

Overall, you can’t complain for a cheap app with so much functionality. Essential purchase!

I was able to pick up an older Gold’s Gym Cycle Trainer 400i which uses the IFit app to connect it via bluetooth. The IFit connectivity to apps like Strava did not work at all for me, and after reading some posts online a lot of others were having similar issues. It was really frustrating trying to find workarounds for something that should be so simple, but through some recommendations I found the this app Fitness app and it is working PERFECTLY. I did have some issues getting it connected at first, but after a few emails with the developer, I was able to get everything working, completely bypassing the ridiculous IFit system. The this app app connects directly to the machine as well as my Wahoo Tickr Fit heart rate monitor. You can choose which data you want to see and all the data is showing up on my AUTOMATIC Strava uploads! Thanks so much!!!

I have the zwift ride bike and wahoo kickr v5. I was pretty upset to learn that Wahoo and zwift weren’t providing virtual shifting to the v5 or earlier. So I found the this app app and gave it a shot. Worth so much more than what they charge. I’m now able to use zwift ride and virtual gears with my v5 on zwift. The gears show in zwift and it functions flawlessly. I had several issues getting it setup due to user error as there are a ton of options in QZ . I reached out to the developer and was shocked when I had a response in minutes. I walked through multiple steps and he responded to emails right away and had everything working flawlessly. I am NOT associated in any way with QZ or the people who made it. I’m just an average rider who, like so many others, was completely disappointed with wahoo and zwift and just wanted a way to bridge the two without having to get a new trainer. Cannot recommend enough.

As you know, unless your bike supports GymKit (and many don’t), starting a cycling workout on Apple Watch leaves much to be desired. It only shows your heart rate, total time, and calories burned. Even if your bike tracks distance, cadence, power, or more, you’re out of luck. You either need to find a subscription app or manually enter your data.

Enter this app! Not only does it recognize your bike, but it captures more metrics than the manufacturer’s app. It logs all of this in Apple Health AND in the Workout app!

But that’s not the best part. By buying QZ, you get an amazing developer who’s willing to answer all your questions and help you configure QZ to your needs. I don’t know any other developer who does this.

My setup:
Yesoul M1
Apple Watch Ultra 2
iPhone 13 Pro

My challenge:
The Yesoul app doesn’t write any of the important metrics to the Workout app or Apple Health. I didn’t have anything beyond time, calories, and heart rate, so it was pretty much no different from the Apple Watch workout app.

I tried Kinomap. It captured the metrics but wouldn’t show the bike’s resistance. And after 14 days, it required a subscription.

this app was a one-time purchase, and now I have everything my bike is capturing. I can see details and trends. The possibilities with QZ are limitless. The settings can be overwhelming, but Roberto patiently answered all of my questions. I couldn’t be happier.

I can’t say enough about how I love QZ better than QZ my bike manufacturer has. First I can customize the screen to show only the values I want to see. Second they all fit on my iPhone screen at one time and are easily readable during a workout. It saves your workout results and even emails them to you. The support is fantastic. These are all things I couldn’t do or get from the manufacturer’s app. My only complaint is I went years without knowing QZ was available. Get it now and ditch your current app, you won’t be happier
