It’s time to get off the couch and into Zwift. Zwift is a virtual reality game that lets you ride on your bike, train for races, and keep up with friends. But if you have an Apple TV and want to download it onto your device, this article will give you all the steps you need to follow in order to do so.
What is the Zwift App
The Zwift app is a mobile application that allows you to connect to the Zwift network. It’s available for both Android and iOS devices, and it’s free to download.
Once you’ve installed the app and set up your account, you can access all of the features of Zwift. You’ll be able to ride courses, interact with other users, plan workouts and races with friends, train against virtual competitors, or just explore your city by bike—all without leaving your home!
It’s also possible to use Zwift without the app. If you don’t have a smartphone or tablet device that can run the app (or if you simply don’t want to use it), there are still plenty of ways to get in on all that Zwifting has to offer!
