    My understanding is with the android app, you loginto Zwift on the PC, get it running, then loginto the app on the phone.
    The 2 then synch via Zwift. I have never had issues with the phone actually showing my dashboard. The phone probably does need to be on the same wifi network as the PC but I have never tested any other connectivity - it just works with an blip or 2 in the past with older versions. I t has got a lot better.

    Mine is definitely on same WiFi network but won't work as dashboard, even shows in activities that I am "on zwift" when riding. Bizarrely I have an old tablet at that can sync no problem. I know you can't have two devices logged in to app at same time, this is not the issue as made sure the tablet is logged out when trying it on my phone. I only joined up 3 days ago and this is putting me off a bit

    The app is not worth too much stressing about in all honesty... it has limited value.
    Just check its the latest version and if still a problem await another update. Knowing Zwift that'll be next weekend.

    The only good things about the mobile app is when Im away from home I can have a look at the timetable of group rides later that day and book myself on one.

    If Im riding on my own with no plan, it shows my location on a map of Watopia so I can see what junctions are coming up.

    Other than that its just a remote control, which isn't always needed if Im using a laptop on an ironing board.

    If the Zwiift Mobile app doesnt sync, then FULLY closing the app and reopening it, sometimes gets it to work after a minute or two.

    The biggest 1st world problem Ive had is when taking a screenshot with the app, the photo is nowhere near where I wanted. I think it takes a screenshot of a few minutes back or ahead? Pressing F10 on your laptop works better.
