I own the bike and I love it; the app falls short. The app looks nice but gives you no access to any of your ride data. It doesn't connect or track any data from heartrate monitors. If you take a class with video be aware that a 45 min class will be around 2.2GB of data. It seems the app does not detect the connection type to choose lower quality stream. I've had a few instances of freezing or cutting out. This has resulted in strange artifacts like taking two classes at the same time.

Nice App. Good workouts and a good variety. It takes a while to find your favorite instructor, but when you do, it makes the workout fun. The music is overpowered by the instructor's mike, so a lot of times you can't even hear the songs on runs and rides. The music sounds like it's just coming over their computer speakers and caught on the mike rather than a real soundsystem. I would also like the workouts to be filtered by equipment needed, you only find out after you click on the class.

I just bought a Pelton heart rate monitor. The app crashes every time in the setup process while connecting to my monitor. I can connect via Bluetooth on my phone fine, but not in the app, and without connecting in the app, the app won't recognize my device, so I can't use the device at all. *Update - After troubleshooting with Peloton, they said I need a replacement because it is defective. I called and they will only replace items bought from their own store. They don't stand by their products

Overall love the courses and instructors. Functionality of the app could definitely be better. A quick 15 second rewind button, a better way to rewind back to the start of the last exercise. The other day I got close to finishing a workout, wanted to redo the last set and found that the banner along the bottom for finishing now blocked my ability to rewind. Would love to go into my workouts and click on them and be taken back to their page to restart them (why can't I do that?), Or share.

I like the instructors and app, but it's kind of expensive compared to similar options. I had a trial and wanted to have some time to think about renewing it but wasn't given that option or the option to cancel. In Google Play subscriptions Peleton wasn't listed. And in the app, it listed trial, and no option to cancel. So I thought I would be asked if I wanted to continue to paid membership. I had to login to peleton in a separate browser to cancel.

Um, notifications? The main draw of an app (in my opinion) is how useful the notifications are. This app has none! I didn't know this until after I missed a class I signed up for. What's the point?? Users should get a notification 5 minutes before the start time to remind them and so they can get to their equipment. That would really make this app the best. Notifications, reminders, general motivation (a class you may like is starting in 30 minutes).

Weeeellllll, I'm re-upping my disappointment so far with the app. Dont get me wrong, I am obsessed with my peloton bike, especially during this time of isolation. But the app is just disappointing. Still can't see anything involving my workouts other than the basics. Can't interact in any way with friends. No interaction for motivation whatsoever. Everything from my original posting stands.Just disappointing. Especially since peloton is crushing it right now in profits.

No need for the bicycle Great ap with awesome coaches that are motivating and charismatic. There's even a 5 minute ab workout if you're short on time. I have gotten a lot from more from the coaches of this app than training alone. My first class I was sore, and I realize now it's, because I have been overlooking muscle groups. Great ap for anyone that is capable of motivating themselves to exercise alone. 💪

The content is really great, but the app itself has been frustrating. The biggest issue is it will crash mid run for no reason. There is also no way to jump to where you left off in the workout so you're forced to start over or go without. It also significantly under records distance when running. Update: the distance calculation is much better and the crashes are much less frequent, but they are still happening.

The app is really not user friendly. I want to search for a certain program, there is no search option? Also, the classes you sign up for, there's no where to look at what you signed up for in one place so you have to just remember and hope you dont miss it? I'm confused. I also use Openfit and that app is a million times better in terms of easily finding exactly what you want. Edit: I have an iphone for my work phone and downloaded the app on there and it's so much better, how frustrating
