MyWhoosh vs Zwift

[Brusgaard]

it’s fine for what I use it for which has been only for workouts. Longest has been 90 mins in zone 2. I’ve done some bigger effort intervals and it does the job perfectly. The social/community side is lacking due to low numbers, but that’s fine for me as it’s really just a tool for now.
I’m running it on an Apple TV 4K 1st gen and the graphics again are fine for what I use it for, but guess anyone looking for slick HD gaming quality would be disappointed. The backgrounds and scenery are a nice change from other platforms.

Time to upgrade that old 1st gen sucker! It is not supported, and WILL be having issues depending on the world. Graphics was horrid when I tried my 1st gen a year ago. I couldn’t live with it! Luckily it runs fine on my midrange desktop PC at 60FPS (V5.0.0).

Presume you mean support from MyWhoosh, or do you mean support in general from Apple? I’ve had issues in MyWhoosh where the tv remote and iPhone remote no longer control the game mid ride - no big deal as I’ve been able to continue my ride/workout and fortunately restarting MyWhoosh retains the ride data so I can upload it to Strava, intervals etc.

Time to upgrade

I never like to hear that message 😢

It is a streaming device first and foremost, so as long as it can still support the main videoformats, I think Apple will keep it going. But 8 years old now, so way over the normal support period for an Apple device!

For gaming, its 3GB RAM will start to be a limiting factor, and the CPU/GPU is also a bit slow by today’s standards. With Unreal Engine 5 now being the engine for MyWhoosh, I think the older devices days are numbered….
