Please add Airplay support! :)
Please consider adding airplay support so that the app can be streamed to a large TV in front of an exercise bike/treadmill etc. This would be great for us with Iphone but not Ipads as the IPhone screen is a bit small, a 40" TV would be much better :o) !

When are we due some new maps, they used to be pretty regularly added but we haven't had any new ones for months.
The coached update is just a reworking of existing maps, nothing new is coming through fast enough for the cost per month

Hi everyone, thanks for your feedback here!
In 2015 we added the ability to set a workout timer in the workout preview screen, which will continue on to the next tour. Regarding scenery continuity, please reference the other suggestion thread in the forum.
[Late update on the thread]

to continue
quite often i only ride a short period eg 10min recovery after other workouts. Would it be possible to continue a route which already has been started but not completed instead of riding the first 10 min over and over? thank you
106 votesWe’re happy to say that with BitGym 2.0 you can now start at each checkpoint in the normal tours once you’ve unlocked those stages by reaching them at least once .

On the Android version, enable storage of downloaded BitGym videos on the inserted (additional/external) SD card.
My Samsung S4 does not have a lot of inbuilt phone storage (enough for a a small number of vault videos in the BitGym app) but it does have a 32GB mini sd card in its sd card slot. However there seems to be no way to tell the BitGym Android App to take its Vault videos from the SD card rather than the phone storage. This is a pity since the phone wont have space to store many dowloaded (Vault) files. Could the developers perhaps give an option in the Android app to store the vault on the additional…
74 votesIn May 2016 we released the first version with automatic SD card support for Android devices. For details, please visit our knowledge-base article on downloaded workouts:
https://bitgym.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1149466There are many manufacturers of Android devices and SD cards, and BitGym may not recognize all of them. Since 2016 we have constantly been improving our support for SD cards across a wider array of devices. If you are experiencing downloads not directed to your SD card, file a support ticket with us and we’ll look into expanding functionality to include your devices.
Note there is a known bug where if your main storage is low (under 2 GB) it will refuse to download the tour. A new update is being worked on which should address this.

New content is needed. I'm starting to mesmerize the routes and recognize the people! Thanks!

lower prices!
great idea that is ridiculously over-priced!
59 votesHi All – we know some of you were turned off by the $7.99 USD price tag for each video, and we wanted to give you a new option. We couldn’t just lower the price, that’s really the price it takes to film these videos. It takes highly trained operators and extremely expensive equipment. If you want to see how VA videos are made, see this behind the scenes montage: http://vimeo.com/41029564
What we can do is change to a new pricing model which offers more variety, instant streaming access, and other cool features for a single monthly price. This is where our new app, simply titled ‘Bitgym’, comes in.
BitGym is released on both iOS and Android. It includes all the Virtual Active trails you love. We knew variety was important, so instead of forcing you to buy each trail we wanted to give users access to the entire Virtual…

Ability to start from a particular point
For example, divide a run into segments. For example, for Lake Tahoe, this would provide the option to start straight to The Flume, or for Italy, start at Venice, and so on).
57 votesBitGym 2.0 released in 2015 brought checkpoints and progress tracking.
This is a late completion update.

Enable users to pick up where they left off when they stopped their course
Just enable users to benchmark their stopping point

Enable the user to pause or stop and then renew the trip
Not everyone has 55 minutes for the trip to Hana. It would be great to be able to do 30 minutes and then come back to it and pick up where you left off.

Increase the functionality of your statistics or allow syncing with other exercise tracking app.
Allow tracking of goals, weight, number of workouts ect. Otherwise allow syncing with an independent app that does this. I'm coming off of Ifit. You people have the video portion licked and I love the app. Just would like to be able to have better statistics like ifit. Would think it would be fairly simple.
52 votesThe community has loved our integrations with various fitness apps.
We are marking this idea as completed so that we can create room for individual threads for each new service users would like to see supported. At this time we support Runkeeper/Strava/SamsungHealth/Apple Health/FB/Twitter on all applicable platforms, and a few more on each of iOS and Android. Export functionality for Android/iOS is at different paces, but we’re doing our best to address all the requests based on popularity.

Windows 10 app potential
I have surface pro 3 and 4 tablets that both run Windows 10 apps. My cell is android but the screen size is so small it isn't worth the download. Do you have plans for a Win10 app?
47 votesHi there, thanks for the interest in this idea. At this moment, we do not have the resources available to actively support a Desktop/Windows/Mac/PC version of BitGym. However, some users have had success running BitGym using an emulator – see this FAQ article:

It would be great if you could adjust the speed to a slower setting i.e a slow jogging pace
What about a speed adjustment i.e. to a jogging pace. Scenery goes by much too quickly. Seems like I am driving a car not jogging.
45 votesVersion 2.0 (which was released on Labor Day) does just that!
In the next version, we may also have the app demand more intense exercise when you’re going uphill in the video.

Virtual active music and running coach
I LOVE working out on the tradmills that host Virtual active. I like the music, I like the running coach and the advice, I like the way the tips wake me up and force me to check a few things.
Not being able to see or hear the coach or music is kind of a killer and led to total disappointment with the app so far. The part that made me want the app was my experiance on the treadmills at the gym.
I would suggest that you add a toggle feature to have the coach with music option. In…

It'd be great if there was a location that was much more through/forests, streams. I'd buy more if there were some of those!

Add a narrative at start telling where u r.
I might want to try a similar hike.

Add chromecast support.
I know there is support for apples airplay already. I anticipate googles version, chromecast will become very popular in the coming year.
26 votesRecently Chromecast screen sharing support was added for android devices using the Chromecast app. Our tests show performance on the same level as Apple TV screen mirroring and so are happy to report a working way to use BitGym with Chromecast. It does, however, require an android device with 4.4.2+ installed.
We have updated our screen mirroring instructions page here http://bitgym.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/292088 with a section for Chromecast.

A progress bar showing your how far you have travelled along any particular workout would be great.
Please add a progress bar
19 votesVersion 2.0 (which was released on Labor Day) plays continuously until your workout time has elapsed, so you’ll be able to gauge your progress just by looking at the time.
