Swift Zwift Tip: Zwift Companion App Compatibility (IOS/Android)

The Zwift Companion Mobile app is cross-platform friendly - Meaning you can use either Android or IOS versions of the Companion app to connect to any platform your main Zwift session is on (PC, Mac, IOS, etc).

Staying with the Apple TV 4K for now. Display is decent enough. Thanks for the ZC tips!

Shane, do you need to connect the mobile device to the trainer etc before the laptop? I've been through a lot of your Zwift videos this morning and I can't find the answer. I'm sure it's BLE related but struggling. Thanks

Hi Shane, This may be a very silly question but here goes, am I right in thinking I can still use zwift with just a standard trainer ? I just have an el cheapo jetblack fluid trainer with no connectivity what so ever, but can I use it through my Garmin connect to my mac book, with using a garmin heart rate and cadence monitor ? I realise that I wont get the changes in the trainer during climbs ect but is it still possible in anyway to use Zwift minus those ?
thanks for your help

Shane, I've been using the airplay to mirror the ipad to my computer, but the graphic quality is poor. Do you have any lightening to hdmi adapter recommendations?

Will the companion app run when you’re using your same iphone as a hotspot for a MacBook running Zwift? I haven’t been able to make it work. Thanks again for the tips!

I never can get the Zwifters I follow to show up on the ZC app even though the Zwift app on my Apple TV 4K shows me they are riding. All other functions of the ZC app work great. Interesting the Apple TV can be connected to keyboards, speakers, but Zwift seems to have a two connection limit. Sure the ZC app get relay more, but having to do that everytime I start a Zwift session is a pain. I want to have the following connected directly to my Apple TV 4K/Zwift: Smart trainer, Vector 3 pedals, and HR monitor. All Bluetooth. The first two connect fine, but then Zwift app complains out of Bluetooth connections.

Shane, if I upgrade to kickr18 and use an iPad my understanding is the kickr will function fine as Bluetooth but I have a quarq (ANT) for Power & cadence as well as Garmin heart rate. What are the options regarding having an iPad detect both Bluetooth and ANT? Can I run the zwift app on my android phone and then have this communicate to the iPad so power / cadence / HR is detected through the phone (assuming the android phone is detecting these signals and not just relaying from the PC) and fed to the iPad or is there a suitable adaptor for iPad to take on ANT signals? Overall aim is to run iPad, Bluetooth kickr18 and existing quarq (ANT).

Hi Shane Just going to give Zwift a go. I have a PC running my Neo 2 with Ant+ and will use Ant+ for Zwift I was going to run Zwift Companion App on Android but zwift says Android version automatically makes a Bluetooth bridge does this mean it will try to run my trainer on Bluetooth on the my PC that has the main zwift App over riding Ant+ setup Pleased if you can help

Hi Shane, will this ZML run on an iPad 4? It doesn’t show up in my App Store

....Until it crashes after 5 minutes and every 30 seconds thereafter.
