Also made the switch from Zwift to MyWhoosh. The pacer rides are a bit slower, but training wise it's the same. Who cares about virtual speed, just need to do my workouts somewhere. And it looks alot better without costing me anything.

I am a user of Zwift since 2018 and still enjoying it. The yearly cost is well worth for me since I do not like to go to the gym and ride year round indoor for general fitness.
Of course I prefer outdoor riding but due to work and miserable weather I use Zwift at least twice per week.
The social aspect and that you are not riding in a deserted landscape is a big plus for me.

My indoor setup uses an Apple TV and so far only Zwift support this properly.
MyWoosh is in beta and a pain to install while IndieVelo is not free if you want to use the AppleTV.

I will stay on Zwift for the time being  8)

I'm using it and the workouts look fine for me. Free rides I can do outside

+1 on icTrainer.
Also supports the atmosphere of the pain cave.
As I’m doing structured WO only indoors it works best for me. Dozens of free workouts available at trainerday and I’m good to go.

Since indievelo is dead (to me) is there any other platform other than mywhoosh for free?

If I pay, I'm getting something for free? That's awesome

Biketerra is free, just a lower graphics version of a cycling "video game"

First time posting here :)

I just wanted to point out some things I found out on my own when looking into MyWhoosh when I first heard of it.

The CEO is AKHTAR SAEED HASHMI according to (https://www.mywhoosh.com/ceo-message/). The first google result for this name seems to show that a person by the exact same name in the UAE was implicated to some extent in a spyware controversy of an app called ToTok by the Emirati intelligence services.

Lucky me I'm using a dedicated pc for zwift/mywhoosh. They can only tell me to spend more time with my wife  ;D

No place for racism buddy.

Are you blaming me being racist?

so, where is my racism here?
just do a google search what abu dhabi is known for, but hey, you may do share all their opinions? and the way they treat people...
mywhoosh is a very popular platform for earning money with riding bikes, they have had race series with 1 million USD price money if i remember right.....so some people even earn loads of money with it, which i can understand somehow, especially in the women cycling world, paygaps are huge....of course, abu dhabi has equal pay for the races...they are the best.

 I gave it a try tonight and the file failed to upload to my Strava. I have used it when it first came out and I was surprised at how much it improved. I ended up doing a training session on GTBikeV with no issues what so ever except maybe being sworn at, getting shot and run over by a car. LOL

It's pretty awesome, I agree. The only annoying bit is that during structured workout, you don't get detailed info on what the next interval is. Only the color indicates whether it's hard or not. I wish I could see the whole workout structure and info like in Zwift.
Also, it takes up a load of disk space because you gotta download all these routes. And yes, there's the issue with where it's made and who makes it. I might just try other options because of this.

If you look at the track record of the CIA when it comes to death abroad, misery, misunderstanding local dynamics, war, mayhem and so on, since Allen Dulles, or more recently, with the current US endorsed genocide and US endorsed war (it's not me saying it, but the UN), playing the morality card is really arguably a joke.
Paying for zwift because it employs American incompetent hipsters, to support America, that is legit.
But saying UAE is bad and the US is virtuous is cognitively dissonant to such an extent that I had to point it out.
And to be clear, yes, UAE is bad. But show me one nation that isn't. Like Jesus would say, who hasn't sinned throw the first stone lalala.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.
