During your training, when it's time to change the intensity, a visual and audio cue will let you know. The application also takes care of changing the music to fit the evolution of your training program. Quieter songs for warm up, then power songs for the sprints? You decide. You can match each level of intensity with a playlist or a song from your music library.
The training screen displays the time left in the program and the time left in the current section. You can change it so it displays the elapsed time instead. The playing song is also displayed; touch it if you want to skip to the next song. Touching the section name enables you to skip the section. Touching the intensity graph will reveal the next three sections.
Once you're familiar with the built-in programs, you can start building your own! There's an editor for that. You can add any number of sections, each with a different intensity and duration. It's all up to you! You can also use the 10 editable intensities to add personalized cues and instructions to your programs.
Each training session is automatically logged into your training history. Every completed session will save the date, duration and program name. Consult the overview to find out how many hours you've been training since the beginning.
Additionally:
- Optimized for retina display
- Airplay support
- Compatible with iPhone and iPad
Reviews
Hill to climb
Aganabob
This application does what it claims though it would be nice to see a few features added. The "sections" in the user generated programs need to include a place for a description, i.e. Progressive climb, sprint, etc. The high, med, low descriptions aren't enough. It would also be good if the music selection could be tied to a group of sections. 4 sprints then rests lead to the beginning of 8 songs. I'd rather hear one or two songs in there entirety.
Buy this it's fun

I really like this app. Just bought a bike from the studio I went to that had to close. The transitions are easy and while I don't have an instructor telling me what to do I have enough cues to know how to change. Worth the $2. You can design how long your transitions are. My h used for rowing.
Save your money

Great concept but works poorly. Each song lasts three seconds then goes to next category. Please fix
Better than a playlist but needs work
Red4Green
I've used this for about a week now while i'm on my bicycle trainer and here's what I like: - it's better than just having a playlist - it allows me to more precisely time the length of each section of the workout - remaining time in the workout shows prominently Here's where I'd ask to see enhancements: - it seems I get the same songs too many times from each custom playlist - could it somehow ensure more variety? - how about a custom photo/ video display option so that we would have something new to look at every ride while the tunes are playing? -
PLEASE FIX

This is an awesome spinning application, that let's you customize your own program, if you don't like the installed routines...The only problem is that it worked perfectly until the update today...Now it crashes on startup every time. PLEASE FIX!!!
Crashes on startup
MikMikMumperbike
Just bought after a good spin workout using the fee version. I really dig it and want to tap into the added features of this paid version, BUT this app crashes immediately upon opening it. PLEASE FIX. I want to use this...
Crashes at start-up

It crashes at start-up and when it did work it didn't alert(volume went to mute) when you need to change from high/low to low/high workout.
Just what I was looking for
A Splarty
Not only is it better than a playlist (different playlists for each intensity of spin), it is like having an instructor reminding you which intensity you should be aiming for. Reading the other reviews, most of the problems cited appear to have been fixed (doesn't crash on start up and you can create your own spin program). Just one of those apps that, when you find it, you go: "That's just what I need". Nice job
Add one more thing
Derweissehai
I have been using the app and have had no problems at all. The only thong that would make it better would to have the ability to track your distance at the end of the workout. That's the only thing I see that needs to be added.
