Rouvy, but above all Rouvy AR is the new experience for indoor training for cycling. Actually the app is not very recent but during 2020 it has undergone deep upgrades.
As for the Rouvy platform, there are 2 versions that in the future should merge into one: Rouvy Workout and Rouvy AR. The workout version, as its name says, it’s for training workouts, intervals and similar. While Rouvy AR is an Augmented Reality experience: virtual models interacting with real models.
Unlike other Apps, especially the superlative Zwift, here you will find yourself running real courses, as well competing with real opponents displayed on your course. Moreover Rouvy has become the official app for some races, including virtual races belonging to the IRONMAN circuit.
Rouvy AR, according my personal opinion, it’s an alternative to alternate with Zwift during the winter period; just one app and user experience tends to get boring. Now Rouvy AR has reached version 1.0, with support also for ANT+ (in addition to Bluetooth already supported). Currently Rouvy it’s compatible with: power sensor, speed, cadence, heart rate monitor and of course a Turbo Trainer Smart.
After you have downloaded, you can use the app for a trial period of 14 days. After this period you will need to subscribe from 12 USD/month for a 12-month subscription.
A real flaw is that it does not offer activities synchronization with the Garmin Connect Platform (most likely due to licensing costs).
For everything else, it’s definitely worth trying: https://rouvy.com/en/
