Overall, my experience has been rather buggy. I think it has loads of potential, but at the moment it does have some issues. Some issues need to be addressed if i want to keep on using this when it becomes a paid service, others are minor.
Major issues are:
- Every time I've started TP virtual, I've been presented with an auto-update, that takes >5 minutes to install. It also starts-up in full-screen mode, which makes it hard to see if there any issues with e.g. your internet connection.
- The moment I briefly lose connection, TP virtual goes into offline mode and never comes out of it until I restart TP virtual (Even though my internet connection works fine again). However, it does upload the bit I biked before losing connection to TP and Strava once I regain connection. This means that after the workout, I need to delete my activies on TP and Strava, and manually reload the correct, full bike ride.
Minor issues:
- the timer freezes when the screen freezes/lags. First structured workout I did was 1h05m long, but TP virtual only counted 1h01m
- Stat counter doesn't work. Only the time I rode in 'online'-mode count, since TP virtual goes into offline mode during briefly lost internet connection and never comes out of it, the stat counter only has several minutes of ride time after 2-1h workouts. While this is not a game-breaking bug, either make sure a stat counter works, or don't provide us with one at all.
I really hope these issues can be fixed, so that I can keep on using TP virtual!
