Ratings and Reviews
Great app
Okay, so I currently ride a Schwinn IC4 that I used to use Peloton. When they added new tiers and increased their price, I decided to look around.
I tried the other Minecraft-looking app, which people seem to love, but it was buggy and not easy to do an FTP test, and connecting to my bike was problematic.
I switched to Rouvy. It has a super clean interface, is intuitive, and is easy to use. I love the percentage power meter, which allows me to adjust the resistance or pedal harder and super easy not to focus on exact Wattage.
What I love is the real-world videos. I have it on my TV and going downhill, I find myself pedaling faster as if I’m going downhill. I love seeing actual places and feel like I’m on a sightseeing tour.
There are only two enhancements I’d make. The first would be to share data with Apple Health. The lack of integration isn’t too much of a big deal, as it’s available through Strava.
The second would be to have the option to connect Bluetooth devices during the ride, as opposed to just before a ride.
I’m looking forward to upgrading my trainer to one the app can control so I can get out of turning dials and enjoy my rides.

Virtual Video Game
Every now and then something completely blows me away. That is ROUVY. Kudos to the developers for using real world video with augmented reality. My rides in ROUVY feel more like playing a fun virtual video game while I'm on vacation sightseeing instead of my normal boring outdoor local rides. The use of virtual riders in ROUVY is my favorite feature. Virtual riders are people who have already ridden the selected course, including yourself. Their avatars show exactly as when they rode the course. So, if you ride a course twenty times, you can select to ride against all twenty of your own avatars. I'm slower than about 90% of ROUVY users, so I like to select 10-80 virtual riders who rode the course in a similar time to my own. It makes for a competitive and motivating ride (race) and always ends with me pushing myself to the maximum trying to beat as many of the avatars as possible.
Strava integration is great. After each ROUVY ride completes, the data uploads to Strava and appears exactly as my actual outdoor bike rides.
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to ride to the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii or climb the hardest mountain stages in the Tour de France, you can do it in ROUVY. Well, you can try.

What exactly are we reviewing
I’ve been adapting to riding indoors and it’s a challenge. Many choices out there. The one part of road cycling i have been looking for is in Rouvy. Rouvy takes my setup and makes the experience the closest i’ve come to being on the road. Get this, climbs feel like climbs. But when you get to the top of the climb you feel some float in the pedals. Then the drop comes and you’re on a nice descent that feels like you’re actually descending. The app is not perfect but the feel is . So let’s let these cool maps and rider community mature or grow. i’m more forgiving of less than perfect if it’s fun to ride and Rouvy does that. Do you want to recalibrate your riding for an app? Did you spend your money to have to learn to do it “their way”? I invested in myself when i bought my trainer. As that should be everyone’s goal. (** Tacx Neo 2 T for power and my Quarq power unit for cadence.)
The apps should work for the riders not the other way. Give this a chance and i think you’ll get past the marketing and wow factor the competitors are banking on in a few short rides. Not that Rouvy lacks in wow factor. 😏 Cycling is personal and i’m reviewing this from a cyclists stance.
