This looks amazing. Congratulations. I wish I had an apple phone.
Any thoughts on a future android app with ant+ support?

It also works on my iPad Mini 2 (circa 2013, running IOS 12)
I wish i had an android phone/tablet to play around with as well :-p
Yes. Actually, BUT (and it’s a big BUT) given that it’s taken me 1+ yr to get to this stage (from zero swift knowledge), it will take me similar if not longer for Android. (I also don’t have an android phone, my dad had a huawei P50, but can’t find where he misplaced it). The other thing is also the thought of the many variations of android + phone hardware just frightens me lolz.

Just uploaded a new BETA (Same link as above) Changes includes the addition of W’ Bal(kJ) in similar fashion as what you see on intervals.icu. You can turn ON/OFF this field within “Advanced Options” (in future, this will likely pull the WPrime values directly from intervals.icu and auto-populate/update but for now it’s manual)
Also fixed Workout Cues Support to also include MRC/ERG files from DropBox. Thanks for the feedback from one of the testers.

Just tried using the app
Unlike bundled workouts, intervals icu workout requires 130 medals for each workout. Is this really intended? it needs like 10 views of ads and actually rums out of ads before I can run a workout
Hi, It is one medal per minute of workout. Yes it’s annoying! to get the medal I have to open the app every now and then and launch the adv.
Hope that the developer can find another way
Hi @111 , thanks for trying out the app and providing feedback. The calculation for workout time to medals is like what @Alessandro_Cella mentioned, 1medal per 1min. Hence, 1hr workout = 60medals. (The ~100 Bundled workouts does not require medals.)
I agree, It’s not ideal to be watching so many ads for 1hr of uninterrupted workout (I’ve considered showing an ad every 20min or so similar to FB/Youtube but i myself hate it, and I believe users won’t like it to).
I’ve tweaked the calculations once per @Alessandro_Cella’s feedback (in the BETA), but I think the situation is also that I only considered that all indoor workouts are 1hr long, hence on average, ~3ads. Your workout is ~1.5hours so i’ve tweaked the calculations again to account for longer workout times for future release.
But, i think the fact is, I really need to finish implementing in-app-purchases (for medals) such that there’s a choice between watching an ad or buying the “medals”.
Thus far, I’ve paid Apple USD198 (USD99/yr) to list this app on the Apple Store (>2000hrs spent developing) and to keep this app low/no cost, I’m using Ads to offset the cost paid to Apple. (for over 1+yr, Ad revenue has been < USD30)
@Alessandro_Cella would you mind letting me know how the newest Beta for “spiral of death” fix has performed? Does it automatically go back to target power once you resumed pedaling? If Yes, then I’ll see if Apple will let me release that version without going thru another review.
I’m finishing up another new feature (user selectable data fields, I have like ~30+ fields that can be changed across 3 data screens). hopefully can release for BETA for this feature soon.
Thanks guys for supporting the app. The more users use it, the more motivated I am to continue developing it.
Can I use BreakAway for running workouts? If i just pair with stryd as powermeter?
I haven’t found any other app (than the strydapp itself) to do running workouts by power.

@Knut_Petter_Svendsen I “guess” you can… BUT, I’ve actually specifically ignore the stryd (as it mimics a bike power meter) such that it doesn’t interfere with the automatic connection. (For this app, I made it such that there’s no need for user to intervene w/ connections, there’s no setup, it’s auto based on what it detects)
I think Its possible for me to have an option for it to be enabled under “advanced settings”. I also currently do not have “pace” as one of the data fields. (But, as I’m working on DataScreens & DataFields selections), it’s possible that I can just add it in. Although there won’t be any sort of ability to control the power.
let me explore the possibility. (But honest question, Stryd itself just announced their mobile app is now “treadmill” capable, hence I’m thinking along the lines of “why”? Would love to hear more about this from you as another perspective)
Lately I’ve been thinking: Do I really need a stryd subscription?
I plan my workouts in intervals.icu. Made my own power based workouts, and don’t use their training plans. Don’t know if I need a membership to do workouts in the new “treadmill experience” or to use the “stryd workout app” on my watch.
So if it is feasible to get support for running in BreakAway without too much hassle I’ll give it a try 
Hi,
I wonder about the split screen option. Doesn’t seem to work on my iPad pro when I want to use Breakaway and Zwift/RGT. Does it work only with certain app?
Cheers,
r.
Are you going to sync the data to their platform I think is a key pertinent question. Because, when you use a Stryd, the only way data is going INTO Stryd PowerCenter is to use their (watch) datafield or their workout app (and Now their mobile app too i think).
They have some “checks” to see if the data is valid and contains STRYD data before being permitted to be uploaded there. (They, unlike Garmin, for now, does not allow any data that doesn’t use their device to be uploaded there)
So… if you plan on using any other app, chances are you Will not be able to upload to their platform and do X or Y.
From what I read, their mobile app has 12 free workouts you can peruse. Any Others will need a membership. (USD9.99 IIRC)
In terms of hassle, I can upload a beta which removes the “Stryd” check and you can check it out. But, there won’t be pace data. Just Power, and Interval countdown and etc just like a typical Indoor cycling app. Let me know if you’re interested.
Thanks for your question @Raphael. There are a few caveats in doing that.
First - you need to have a compatible Smart Trainer. (from the video i’ve linked above, seems like not many trainers have multiple Bluetooth Connections - Mine for sure don’t) and you need to have one of those for this to work.
Second - This new feature is only in the BETA app (public link in previous posting) and not the one released on the Apple App Store. You will need to have the TestFlight App installed as well. Are you using this version?
Finally - I do not have a compatible trainer nor a compatible iPad (my ipad mini is circa 2013 and still works for this app. yay!) to actually test this out. I’ve been using the simulator.
I’ll be happy to work w/ you to see what’s happening tho.
Thanks for trying out / supporting the app!!
Ok thanks, Normally my Elite Zumo can have multiple BLE connection (I have used both phone and iPad with different app). But I don’t use the beta version. I will wait that the feature is released on the normal version.
ps: what are the Medals for? and any way to pay a fixed price to get rid off the google ad?
Actually, the sooner I have confirmation of the BETA working, the sooner I can release it. Your confirmation would also help immensely.
I’m still working on the “In-App-Purchase” portion of it. Also kind of hesitant as I feel there’s many ppl who are looking at low/no cost training apps and even the hint of seeing “in app purchase” available on the App Store is a turn off. Having said that, I think it’s also evident that there are those that prefers not to deal w/ the medals portion of it.
Have a read at this post which I’ve explained what the “medals are”
Sorry. In my recent workouts I did not test the “spiral” and all the rest was going like a charm. If the weather will be bad (i.e. no outside ride) I will test it on Saturday, else on Tue.
(waiting for the customization of the fields, can you meanwhile add in the third line in the middle, the overall past workout time? thanks)
Okay… Thanks…
Can you further explain on “past workout time”?
is it Last Lap Time? Do you see what you’re asking for among the list of ~36 fields in a post above?
Sorry, I meant the workout timer starting from 0:00 and increasing. As of now there is only the count-down
Ah… you’re looking for “Lap Time” or “Elapsed Time”. Yes, it’s in the list of DataFields for “user selectable” . (also, elapsed time is available during slope mode)

New beta is up w/ the “user defined data screen / data fields” layouts
Note that Page1 and Page4 are essentially the same “Page1”, but it will auto switch between ERG Mode and SLOPE simulation mode. The key difference is that in Slope mode, default setup as “SLOPE” and “Elapsed Time” instead of “Target Power” and “Interval Remain Time”
Right now, there’s a total of ~40 different selectable fields (some of the field names are “different” due to trademark reasons so there’s alternative names in use, I’ve used the similar nomenclature as intervals.icu) for the 3 screens (page 1 / Page 2 / Page 3 - change screens by swiping left / right)
Take note that for iPhone Landscape mode, the 3rd row (in portrait) will be missing - largely due to space constraints. (esp for those w/ smaller phones like the iPhone SE )
I’m irked by the layout Field Naming tho (eg: Field 1 and Field 4 are Top/Bottom in Portrait mode, but is side-by-side in iPhone Landscape) and i think it would be confusing for users. I might change this in the future. But it is what it is in the current newest Beta (public link in one of the posts above)
If all goes well, no major issues, plan to release this to the App Store within the next week.

@Knut_Petter_Svendsen So… today I worked on getting Stryd Support into the App. Now I have Pace / Pace 3s / Pace 5s with the data coming from the Stryd FootPod (Speed and thus Distance).
Initial Testing seems to work well with Data being populated into the app via the Stryd Pod (Power / Cad / Dist / Speed)
The only thing is that you (users) have to specifically enable it within “advanced settings”. It’s also advised to turn it off when / if you want to do a Bike Workout in case the Stryd messes up the Power / Cad data from the Trainer.
Workouts also gets tranferred to Strava and Intervals as Virtual Run activity and you can also do a “Re-Sync”, however the re-sync logic is a bit convoluted currently. (I check if a Stryd is connected, and if it is, the resync will upload the data as RUN otherwise, it will be a Ride)
BETA test app public link is in this post - BreakAway: Indoor Training App Now with Intervals.icu Calendar integration (Workout Of The Day) - #26 by app4g
Hope to hear from you soon and your thoughts (vs the Stryd Treadmill App)
