Very useful especially when in conjunction with Apple TV 4K app

This app is very helpful for controlling the in-game/ride actions, especially when the controlling device for the game is remote (ie Apple TV or laptop). Comment to dev: recently I had an issue where mobile link thought I was riding in London but the Apple TV showed me riding Watopia. Wattage and distance were consistent on both, but the map functionality showed me plodding along in London. When I saved from Apple TV, it saved the ride based upon Watopia. Apple TV 4K 32GB, and iPhone 6s running iOS 11.2.

Needs one fix

This is a great app the only thing they need to fix is when looking at events most of the time they tell how many laps but not the mileage. Same problem when signing up for an event when on zwift. Can’t tell how many miles you are going to be racing until the event actually starts.

Incredible

The Companion app is fantastic! I really enjoy being able to scroll through dates and future events or races and select them and it automatically loads in my Google calendar. If only real bike racing, training and workout training plans were this streamlined.
