I use a Schwinn large fan Airdyne. The XSpin does work, but Cycle Rush is a big disappointment. I know what I want to do and I need only an app that does what I want it to do, not tell me what it wants me to do. I don’t need or want “programming”. I just want the app to take measurements and remain stupid. Really, I can handle everything else without interference.
First, I want to set the time to count down from the time interval I set. Then measure speed, a reasonable measurement of “distance” and a reasonable measurement of “calories” expended, then issue an alarm when the time is up.
Second, the app does have a function to play the music you have installed on the iPhone, but it only plays the music in playlists, not albums. A negative, but this can obviously be accommodated. Problematic, however, is the app still allows the “coach” speak over the music to give instructions about what it wants you to do. I don’t want a coach. When I choose to listen to my music when I use the app, I mean it.
As an additional function, I would be nice if the app measures the effort on the Airdyne. As the fan “wheel” spins faster, the level of effort increases.
In short, I want the app to emulate the Schwinn Airdyne's existing display at minimum, adding features and accuracy that wasn't available 20 years ago.
