## Review summary

Users praise Tacx Training for Garmin Connect integration, neat routes, and road-feel experiences, with some winter-training gains. However, many reviews highlight UI/readability issues from background imagery and small fonts, plus limited customization. Connectivity problems (Bluetooth) and overall app instability (lockups, sign-outs, paused workouts) are common. Additional critiques include lack of structured workouts, insufficient on-screen data (e.g., simultaneous watts/cadence, laps), and confusing Premium access. Overall, reliability and UI clarity are the main pain points, despite some positively-reported features.

### Pros

- Tacx routes are neat and provide a road-feel experience.
- Changing views and terrain adjustments add variety and engagement during workouts.
- The app can connect to Garmin Connect for data syncing.
- Some users report training gains, especially during winter training.

### Cons

- Background imagery and updated UI degrade readability; fonts are too small and customization is limited.
- Bluetooth connectivity with the Tacx trainer is unreliable, with pairing and power readings often off.
- Frequent app instability: lockups, sign-outs, and workouts stopping unexpectedly.
- Lack of structured workouts and limited on-screen data (no simultaneous watts and cadence; no lap function) and poor data presentation.
- Difficult access to and justification for Premium subscription; unclear pricing/benefits.
