I did a workout last night and after ending the session. I went back to view the history file. After looking it over for a few minutes, A pop up opened up and said something about the 24 hour trial was over and I should pay for program. It also said something about a lost connection to the server.

Looking forward to try the rest of the workouts.

I have been able to try the software for two rides and really enjoy it. Here are some enhancements I would like to see:

• Data smoothing (2 - 5 second average). Ideally the user could customize the seconds.
• Screen reformatting: It would be nice if you could organize the dashboard - change order of headers, decrease size of chart, increase the amount of real estate used by the Netflix window, etc.
• I think the setting screens need some refinement. Not sure if it is a Windows 7 thing but the navigation is not intuitive.

Overall, I like the product. I also appreciate how responsive you have been to the feedback/issues.

Transmit Calculated Power � Have a device that can receive an ANT+ power signal? PeriPedal will transmit your calculated power as an ANT+ power device so you can pair it to your device (such as a compatible Garmin watch, etc.). This will allow you to capture all of your data on your device and upload it to your typical sources with your power data.

Can you explain how to do this? I have a Garmin 310xt and would love to be able to collect the power data for uploading.

Anything in particular you found difficult on navigation? My goal is to make the UI as simple as possible so if you can identify any problem areas I will try to clean them up.

There is a grid divider between the two sections you can click and drag up and down on. Let me know if you have any issues with that or any suggestions on how to make it more visible.

I think the general navigation works well (front screen with 4 box options, etc.). The part of the UI that is a little clunky for me are the settings sections. For example, in Edit Profiles, it was not clear to me that there was a Users and Bikes section. The graphics don't jump out at me to indicate these are different sections...based on the color coding used it almost appears as though "Users" is the header name and Bikes is the page name. Now that I know these are actually two different pages/sections, I have not had problems. This same confusion happened for me with the Example Users. I am not sure if it is the coloring or the fact that there are no clear lines/boxes separating the users and tabs, it has taken me some time to understand which section I am in and what user I am modifying.


In the Workout Setup screen, I think it should be more clear that those are drop menus. The colors used makes the down arrow nearly invisible.


In the actual workout screen when you pull up the settings, the setup is a little funky for me. The settings pull up on the right side but there is no save or done option. You just have to click off the screen or hit settings again.





Thanks. Actually the way you have it makes it seem movable but for some reason my cursor was not picking up the divider (I was on the middle of a ride so I am sure my hands were not that steady). I just tried it again and could move it. If anything, maybe you can increase the hover over area that controls the movement of this divider.


I hope this is helpful. In addition, one other feature I would like to see is full screen mode. I can accomplish this by modifying my taskbar option on my system but it would be nice to have a full screen button similar to those found in video sites.

Seems ok, price is right, I do have a few suggestions though.
1. THe heart rate/power/cadence etc readings across the top- would be nice if they were bigger. I cant see them at the best of times, let alone with sweat pouring in my eyes. I keep my laptop on the ground in front of me, far enough away to stay dry. I had to rely and watching my garmin for cadence and heart rate.
2. Calculate the FTP for dummies. I do know that there is an FTP test and that there is an FTP field that needs to be filled in on the profile page. I know I did the 20 FTP test, and now I have a bunch of numbers showing power every 5 minutes. My 20 minute power was 343 watts, does that mean that is my FTP since it was a 20 minute test?
3. Ability to export a tcx file. My 910 somehow lost the workout when trying to upload, I cant upload a csv file into my Endomondo or garmin connect.
4. Back to the dummy thing, the 1 thing that would keep me with the other guys is the different workout plans they have set up. I am not a coach or a cycle guru. I have no idea what tempo, threshold, vo2max, ftp bla bla bla etc etc etc all means, let alone how I should make them into a workout. I just want to follow a calendar.
5. Metric would be nice.

Flaws - The only actual flaw I saw was heart rate spikes here and there. I wanted to see if they were from my strap but of course, my garmin doesnt even register the workout so I cant say if they were software of hardware related.

As for the movie part, not a big draw for me as I have a tv right beside the laptop so didnt try that out.

Overall, would be worth the $40 to me if all the above was implemented.

I tried the software this morning. I have not used anything else to compare it to, but would like to say that I like what I have seen so far. The only thing I would like to see, me being an Aussie, is being able to change from miles to kilometres. Also would be good to have some sort of heads up of the upcoming set, but I will probably pick this up with more use.

Feel a bit bad for the Trainerroad guys, as it seems like you've lifted their Virtual Power idea. That said, if you can import to Ubuntu and make it integrate with Sufferfest I'd be tempted to move over. Lack of Ubuntu (or Linux) support for Trainerroad is the one and only reason I am stuck with windows on my home laptop.. :-(

Hi Adam,
Just tried your software and I can't get further than the start workout screen (where you have to choose your bike and profile). When I click on ''next'' I got a windows message saying ''PeriPedal just stopped to work''.
I'm on windows 7. What should I do to avoid this problem? Is it because i'm not on windows 8?

thanks
David

Really enjoy your program. I alternate between yours and golden cheetah. I've got to say that I'm impressed with all of the work you've put into it!
