It took two years to make this āupgradeā to make it more attractive and brandable to new subscribers? Were current subscribers calling for a different color/style? Did Wahoo/Sufferfest even consider current subscribers wants for a calendar which can be easily modified, moving multiple workouts at a time rather than the extremely tedious process of moving individual workouts one at a time? As it is, it seems that Wahoo/Sufferfest think that if you commit to a 10 week training plan or whatever, that youāre not allowed to have any life interruptions, not allowed to take a vacation during that 10 week period. Itās extremely annoying having to backtrack into the calendar to see which workout you should be on and not being able to push your entire training plan forward so you can resume. Everyday digging through the calendar Iām reminded of how bad the calendar is and how it makes me think that the extra $5/month for TrainerRoad is worth it for their commonsense drag and drop calendar.
Over the past 6 months when I first joined, Iāve been emailing support asking how to bulk move workouts. They told me that theyād heard many subscribers wanting a calendar that can easily be modified and that the new app coming would address this issue. All I can say is that this āupgradeā is a major disappointment and to me illustrates theyāre more focused on getting new subscribers, rather than retaining current subscribers that have major problems with the calendar.
I knowā¦ 2 devices at a time: smart trainer and HR seems enough
And if not, there are multiple ways to work around the issue, like the ANT to BLE converter, or do like Zwift did, and make a mobile app that can ādriveā the screen on the Apple TV
As someone who trains offline only due to an underground bike room, after flicking around the new iOS app there seem to be features missing compared to the old app:
No way to filter by downloaded workouts.
A workoutās download size is not shown.
Canāt see the total size of downloaded workouts.
Iāll try the other features and new channels first before commenting on those.
You can delete the current plan and re-add using the desired ending date instead of start date. It will retain completed workouts and add the remainder from today forward. If you skip two weeks, move your end date out two weeks and youāll pick up right where you left off.
Iām not even sure how that would work. I have no desired ending date, I simply want to push all my workouts out the number of days that I missed. I donāt know how Iād even figure out the supposed ending date to accomplish what I want to do. It seems overly complicated and again, something that Wahoo should have addressed a long time ago.
Are others able to get workouts to play in the Android app? Iāve tried to play a couple of Yoga vids and just get a āVideo errorā message (My phone is connected to a rock-solid Internet connection). Thereās no option to make a video available offline either. I tried some other workouts and the video half-played but there was no music, no content, and pausing/resuming didnāt work properly.
Sadly as it stands the Android version is completely useless to me.
Look at your current plan. Scroll in the calendar to find its end date and add two weeks to it. Delete the current plan and add the new one using the new end date.
Any way to play music in iOS on the same device during a workout? It worked (wonkiky) in Sufferfest pre-update. Doesnāt work now. I had a very quiet no-vid workout this morning.
Whilst also not really a fan of the new ābrandingā (how drab and boring) ultimately the training is as good as it ever was, and thatās what itās about. The new app is a step up in how it offers a bit more, is DEFINITELY much more āpolishedā than the original app (on Windows it was always sluggish and felt like swimming through treacle) and overall is a step up.
Sucks to see The Sufferfest branding pushed to the background, but overall itās an improvement.
Glad itās here for Android. I could care less about all the other stuff and fluff. This ALWAYS will be The Sufferfest for me! I was one of your first, and will be supportive, whether this FOBS (Fat, Old, Bald, and Slow) is up for all the changes or not. Not a fan whatsover of the flag change, and am kicking myself for not getting one years ago. Oh wellā¦change with the times, I guess.
@Sir_Brian_M I just tried that and it didnāt work, I should be on Cobbler today but itās showing The Way Out. I donāt know how to re-align the calendar with the next workout I should be on and now that I deleted the initial plan, I donāt know if the rest of the plan is all out of whack now as I didnāt make a screenshot. This is such an obtuse way to manipulate the calendar, it makes no sense at all.
Itās a workaround. But because of all the new content so it wonāt necessarily be identical to your old plan, but should accomplish the same goals. For more specific help, contact the minions.
Iāve used this workaround in the past and it worked for me. Just trying to help.
there is def a way to download the workouts. Iām not an android user but in iOS once you select the workout from the library, beside āStart Workoutā is a down arrow that would allow you to download it. Any android users out there can correct me if itās different on droid over iOS.
@Sir_Brian_M I appreciate your help. Unfortunately the workaround didnāt seem to address my goal. No fault of yours of course, just a terribly designed calendar modifying system by Sufferfest and Wahoo.
Iāve contacted the minions but havenāt heard anything in 4 hours. I assume theyāll be busy with the new app rollout so who knows when I might hear back and even if/when I hear back Iām sure theyāll just say something about a useful calendar will be in the next upgrade. Hopefully it doesnāt take 2 more years for that. Iām so annoyed Iām about to jump ship to TR.
please!
