The vPower data field app has been developed for those who are not fortunate enough to own an expensive power meter. Firstly, this is not 100% accurate. As you can imagine, there is a lot of variables at play to calculate power on the pedals accurately. This is my best attempt to take all these variables into consideration and developed the app with the following key features:</p><p></p><p>Version History</p>
Major update in power calculation. Support for more devices like 130plus, Epix, Venu with addition of a few new trainers.

Love it! Any chance of adding Wahoo Kickr Core to the range of supported Trainers? Thank you.

I have happily used vPower for a long time to get an estimate of power while riding. Considering it is free it compares surprisingly well to a direct measurement PM (which I recently acquired). vPower calculates an estimated power based on GPS data and rider plus bike weight. For obvious reasons vPower is slower to react to changes in power and doesn't capture very short bursts of power. Because of this lag, using vPower to pace short intervals feels a bit like using a heart rate monitor to do the same. Perhaps more importantly vPower knows nothing about wind, changes in your drag coefficient due to position or other factors so at any given moment can over or under estimate power. I have also seen it significantly overestimate power on some descents. Richard https://www.strava.com/athletes/36029711
