Tacx utility is an Android application designed for enhancing indoor cycling experience. Users can pair their phones with a special fitness device to update its firmware and calibrate intensity for workout sessions.
Maintain device
The utility helps users to maintain their indoor cycling equipment in good condition. It is possible to regularly update the firmware of the device by establishing connection via Bluetooth. This allows the Tacx smart trainer to work properly without crashes and issues. Moreover, there is an option to collaborate the power measurement to have training sessions with necessary intensity level.
In addition, there are guides on troubleshooting methods. You can learn how to fix the common problems of the trainer or the device according to the rules designed by developers instead of googling tutorials on third parity sources and YouTube.
