Review Summary
People generally love the QZ (qdomyos-zwift) app for its ability to seamlessly connect various exercise devices (like Echelon bikes, Schwinn IC4, and FlyWheel spinbikes) to popular fitness platforms such as Peloton, Zwift, and Garmin, and praise the developer, Roberto, for his responsiveness and support; however, some users find certain menus not very intuitive and encounter minor technical issues with device connections.
Amazing App! Roberto (the developer) is super helpful and responsive. It allows me to connect my FlyWheel spinbike to Pelaton and Garmin. FlyWheel went out of business a few years back and I bought it used for dirt cheap. Now with this app I have the "Pelaton experience" for a fraction of the cost. It provides the target's (resistent/cadence) that the Pelaton coaches call out and also a whole lot more data and ways to integrate with Garmin. By far the best $5 I've ever spent. Thank you Roberto!
I have the Echelon Row-S, which is an awesome rower with an atrocious app. After hours of frustration with that app, I came across QZ, and the experience couldn't have been more different. QZ is amazing. It just... works. I was really skeptical before buying it, because it sounded too simple. Well I can say that it really is that simple. You turn on the rower, open the QZ app, and voila. It automatically connects via Bluetooth, and there's nothing else you need to do to start rowing. Perfect.
Really does what it says it does -- lets fitness apps like Zwift control your FTMS Bluetooth treadmill or exercise bike rather than just display data. The developer, Roberto is amazingly helpful and responsive. He helped me set it up so Zwift controls the elevation on the Horizon treadmill I was buying. I was in the store and Roberto was replying usually within a minute! The Horizon salesman didn't think an could control elevation and was amazed.
Absolutely the best $5 you can spend on your smart cardio device. I have an Echelon bike and was tired of the highway robbery Echelon charges for their app and classes. Similar when I tried the Peloton app, but I still didn't want to pay $30/mo for classes I can get on YouTube. Be sure to go through the menu and check out their online guide to make the most of it. 4 stars because some of the menus aren't very intuitive and the picture-in-picture version leaves a lot to be desired.

Hi! Please write me to roberto.viola83 at gmail.com with how can I improve the overall experience! Thanks
I am using this app stand-alone to replace the Freestyle Mode on the Echelon app. It is simple to use, allows music in the background, has the ability to monitor your heart rate (with an external heart rate monitor) and so much more. Most of all, it just works. Simple interface, simple setup, just awesome!
Developer response:
Thank you!
This app is amazing. I have an Echelon sport connect bike and my Amazon Fire HD won't allow me to download the Echelon app to use the freestyle mode to see my metrics. I was able to download Qdomyos-zwift and it has worked like a dream. Not only am I able to see my resistance, cadence, output and speed I am also able to see my power zone, heart rate and peloton resistance percentage without having to use a conversion chart. The peloton resistance percentage allows me to make micro-adjustments to my resistance (2-3 points at a time). The other feature I absolutely love is the ability to auto-upload my ride data to Strava. The app developer has been incredibly responsive and innovative with updates to the app. If you have an echelon connect bike you NEED this app!
Developer response:
Thanks!
This app is exactly what I needed for my Schwinn IC4 to make better use of the data the bike provides. I especially like that we can see an actual cadence number (the bike provides a hard to read chart), plus power output and a conversion for Peloton resistance level. The app creator is incredibly involved and helpful when you have questions. Highly recommended!
Developer response:
Thanks!
The app is great. There are a lot of glitches, bugs, and issues you are likely to run into because of just how many systems are working together when using this app. And it's certainly not easy to figure out how or what to do. But the developer is incredibly helpful and is easy to get in touch with, and he is incredibly knowledgeable about his product and can fix most things for you. 5/5 love it
This app is incredible! I had a little trouble getting started, but once you connect the first time, you're good to go. I have an Echelon and I hadn't downloaded the echelon app to connect to Bluetooth first! So until I did, I wasn't able to connect Zwift to the bike's bluetooth. I figured I'd mention this to everyone. I'm so impressed though, thank you so much to the developers!
Developer response:
Thanks!
App is incredibly helpful when having Echelon bike and using Peloton app. The resistance conversion is very helpful, but the data really adds to the experience. The time series data (on power, cadence, etc) is so helpful. The developer seems extremely receptive to feedback and ideas as well. Very happy to have this app.
