Trainer Roads Beta Test day 3

Sunday Morning: Day 2 of Beta 2nd try

Tried to pair both by BTE and ANT+, crashed at 6 minutes.

Uninstalled and reinstalled, even change videos, only paired via ANT+ but still crashed at 7:32 min.  No time to try the file removal again. but will tomorrow.

Deleted trainer roads data folder then reinstalled prior to dirty dozen.

Did get in a bit of a ride, enough to sweat anyway.  Two rides totaling about 15 minutes....Not much but better than nothing.  Preserves my streak at 7 days in a row.

TrainerRoads Beta App for Mac: Try 2

Road indoors to sufferfest's To Get to the Other Side for 1 hr using the beta app.  No crashes but there were a few "glitches".  

1. The app and video did not synch properly.

2. The app did not record my workout at the end, just shut down. ( I have it recorded on Garmin)

Some things I would like to have back:

1.The efficiency bar under WATTS was nice, although not necessary 

Things I like about the Beta:

1. Pair and connectivity is easy and efficient

2. New look and feel.

3. Choosing video is easier and bigger viewing area.

Beta Test of the New TrainerRoads app for Mac

Beta Testing the TrainerRoads App for Mac (first impressions)

-Like the new user interface and graphics.  Simple yet functional.  Much easier to work with devices.  Quick and easy pairing.

-Similar workout data, but you can fast forward and rewind the video in place...Nice. (above)

-More web like and less application-centric.
-Choosing a workout video was as easy as selecting your favorite video type through selecting a graphic Icon:




Will ride the Sufferfest video TBTITW in the AM and give you my thoughts....

Woke up early to try out the app, got it ready to go and just before mounting the bike, the computer froze up and rebooted.  I restarted the computer (older MacBook 13 intel model 2008).  Go everything running again, and was 6 minutes or so in when the app went down and disappeared.

Until the crash everything worked fine, and several new features worked tremendously.  The right ride segment tracker move across only that segment and then resets to the next allowing you to see how much time is left in that segment.  The left segment show where you are overall.

The app when working has the similar functionality and data points in the same places but the two graphics did not draw the data points on the graph. This may have been what caused the crash.  I like the new changes.  Now to make it STABLE enough to use.
