As ever, how well it’ll run will depend on how powerful your smartphone or tablet is.Īlthough some Android phones natively support ANT+, the Zwift app currently does not, so ANT+ devices will need to run through a bridge (see iOs devices) to convert the signal to Bluetooth for use in the app. There’s a curated list of supported devices on the Zwift forum but the general rule of thumb is: if you can see and download the app on the Play Store then you should be good to run it. If you’re using your smartphone to run Zwift’s Companion app – and we recommend you do, it makes everything a lot easier – then you’ll need to ensure that both your phone and your Mac are connected to the same network.Īny Android device running version 6.0 of the operating system or higher is technically capable of running Zwift (still in beta on Android), but with Google’s operating system being less of a closed system than iOs it’s a lot more difficult for developers to cover all possible devices. The download page ( ) will give you the latest installer, and from there it’s a case of firing up the app, downloading the world data (make sure you have 4GB of disk space free before you start) and connecting your trainer and/or sensors. Setting up on a Mac is a very similar process to getting going on the PC. The app will run at anything from 576p resolution right up to 4K you’ll need a big telly and a fast computer to get the most out of the 4K mode. If your graphics card isn’t the highest spec then you may want to drop the resolution the game runs at in order to get a higher frame rate and a smoother experience.

Once you’ve got the software running, it’s a good idea to dive into the settings to make sure you’ve optimised it to your setup. You can have a mix of Bluetooth and ANT+ devices if you want. If you want to connect via ANT+ you can use a USB dongle: Zwift offers its own and there are plenty of cheap ones on Amazon that’ll work fine too. Many modern trainers and sensors can transmit on both, and nearly all PCs have native Bluetooth support.

On the PC this can be done via either Bluetooth or ANT+, so anything you’ve already got should be supported. When you initially log on on any platform, you’ll be asked to pair your devices.
