vPower - Bike Virtual Power

Seems to take in count only the speed, not the gradient or the vertical speed (using default settings). In a 6-12% gradient uphill, power values are 8-15 watts!!

La aplicación calcula la potencia sin tener en cuenta la pendiente; o la elevación. El altímetro de mi fénix 3 HR si marca las pendientes; pero la gráfica de potencia es muy similar a la de velocidad; marca potencias altas en descensos.

the idea is good, app works fine but I can't compare with real data from a real pm. anyway, for who doesn't care so much and wants just a ideal data, I think is the best app here. I would advice to add a menu where is possible to insert a speed where watt are not considered..if I pedal at 45rpm downhill, it'll counts watt! so maybe at least 50rpm and variable km/h or just take into account negative slope degrees would be perfect.

Hi! Nice app! Could you please advise which power trainer should I better choose in the settings if I use Btwin Inride 500 (it is fluid, from Decathlon)

Not working, the graph is pretty similar to speed graph so it does not take into account HR...I haven't tried using cadence sensor but, as description says, it shouldn't be the reason for the malfunction.

Couldn't seem to get vpower to populate it's datafield on my Vivoactive 4, but it did calculate the max and average after my ride. Not sure if the latest Garmin update broke it.

De algum tempo para cá (no máximo 40 dias) o aplicativo está apresentando falhas constantes durante o treinamento, não registrtando nada. Piorou muito, não sei o que aconteceu

I think the idea is great, even if the values are not quite right. But I have the same problem as in other reviews before. The values are not at all realistic and do not match the perceived effort. On a hill (1km, average 5%, average 18 km/h, HR up to 170 bpm) it calculates 28W. Kicked down the hill again, calculated around 230W. Used a new Garmin Edge 530 with original Garmin speed and cadance sensor.

Similar to other reviews, it's a neat app but needs to also use elevation data in the calculation - would be 5/5 then. Keep up the good work!

Not sure this is the right place for writing this, but I can't find a better place. I was really excited when I found this data field even if I knew it would not be completely accurate. However, for me, vPower is of no use. On the road (trainer mode disabled), the power seems directly related to speed only. The faster I go, the higher the vPower value, regardless of the incline. So, going 20km/h uphill shows the same Power as going 20km/h downhill. Am I doing something wrong or is this the best the app can do?

Impossible de configurer les données. Je ne peut utiliser le "." ou "," pour paramétrer le poids du vélo ou le coefficient de résistance.

I used it for the first time today. It showed 400 Watts going down hill free wheeling and 1 watt grinding up a hill. What have I done wrong. Andy.

Mit einer Fenix 5 Plus kann man die Leistungsanzeige nicht nutzen. Die Leistung schwankt im Sekundentakt zwischen über 300 W und 80 W. Berg runter erzielt man ohne Trampeln über 800 W. Kann mir vorstellen dass Rohwerte von der Fenix genommen werden. Die nicht glatt gezogen und bereinigt wurden.

Does not work when i go up hill. it shows 1w or 0w. what can i do? Other way very good on flat roads. thank you

ne prend pas en compte le % de dénivelé, dommage

This is awesome! Good by 1k power meters! I didn’t think I’d ever own a power meter, but now I have one FOR FREE! Thank you for developing such an awesome app

Thank you for doing this. It's nice to have some type of metric without spending more money on a sensor for my bike than the cost of my bike.

I think I might have found the floating point problem. Mine in Germany has "," as decimal separator (as is normal here) but it won't let me input a "," only numbers and "." are accepted and then the "." seems to be ignored. If I leave the original "," and just edit the numbers it seems to work. Haven't used it yet just edited bike weight so far but I thought I'd leave that comment here hoping it helps.

Hello. I enter my tyre rolling resistance coefficient 0.006515 then i save and i synchronize but when i go back to settings the number has changed to 6515.000000. Is it normal? Thanks

I can't change to rolling resistance coefficient to decimal. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but still doesn't work. I'm using a Huawei P20 lite but can't think that the phone is the problem.

Por el momento una sola salida y entrego los datos, nose si son correctos pero funciona

Je n’arrive pas à trouver le champ sur ma Fenix5X. J’utilise déjà déjà deux camps de données. Est ce que c’est pour cette raison?

I have an old Elite Super Crono Fluid, i've seletcted Qubo Fluid ad i have 9% lower vPower vs the official Elite My E-training App (ex. 112W vs 122W). But i like it!

I can't change the tire rolling resistence coefficient. The field expects a long while the value is a decimal. Entering numbers doesn't work, neither does copy/paste.

Just downloaded this yesterday and went for a short indoor spin today. I don’t have a power meter but the spin class I go to does and I have a decent idea of the kind of numbers I’m cranking. I’d say this tracks nicely and is maybe within 10% accuracy. Of course, trainer selection is crucial. I’m using rollers and selected the Peak Performance Omnium as the base and tweaked my bike weight upwards 50% from actual since my rollers have 1 more roller (3) vs the Omnium’s 2. I’ll probably have more to say after a couple more months with this.
