Making a list and checking it twice. This is what this release is about. When you now first arrive into your plan, there is a clear checklist that walks you through each main action to unlock Spoked’s potential.
You know what’s a pain. Having to put your card details in to activate a trial. At Spoked we want to give you the freedom to check out if it’s right for you in the most simple manner. So this update is improving this area so you can easily activate your trial.
You know that feeling when you wake up for a big event, you’re full of nerves and excitement.
This is what this release is all about. We’ve improved a number of areas from the submit week flow with new coaching insight and controls to effect next week, tweaked the plan builder sequence, allowed you to add in recovery rides anytime and the biggie, letting Spoked set your week for you based on your plan level and difficulty. Enjoy.
Always be moving forward. This is what this release is about. That’s to the rider community they’ve identified two issues around the plan overview and time zone differences. We’re pleased to report, with this release it’s all sorted. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Say hello to Auto sync. Spoked automatically pairs your ride data to the workout you’ve just ridden. This makes it even easier and faster to see your results. So look out for the new glowing workout card.
We’ve introduced a new onboarding slideshow to ensure you know exactly which features will maximise your cycling performance. Plus, there are a bunch of bug fixes and small tweaks to keep things riding smoothly.
Since the last release that included the new notifications a bug crawled in around when you reopened the Spoked app. The team has gone to work and squashed this bug quickly. Thank you for your patience and let’s continue to make 2023 the best one yet.
What’s this appearing on my home screen? Yes, we’ve built a new notification centre that is focused on helping you get the most out of Spoked. To start, there will be a new alert for when a new activity is ready to upload.
Parallel to this, we’ve been working on the foundation for auto sync and have improved the start trial flow to ensure you take advantage of your free 30 day Pro Plan with no card details needed.
Lastly, a few small tweaks have been made to ensure you have smooth experience at Spoked.
Measure twice, cut once. We did not follow this and slipped up in the last release where new riders couldn't get started. So we've sorted this issue out in this release. Sorry about the inconvenience.
And just like that, it’s update no. 2 for the year. Like this first, we decided to focus on some admin and bug fixing before we start to dive into the juicy stuff. So what’s next on the horizon? There is going to be a big focus on simplifying the current flows and nudging you in the right direction so you can get more out of your cycling and Spoked.
And we’re off the mark for 2023. This release is a small but an essential one. It’s like when you need to oil your chain to make sure you have a smooth ride. That’s this release. It includes a number of tweaks and small improvements around subscriptions, plans and when you open Spoked up. Keep your eyes peeled on the next one. It’s going to be good!

Did you know this is our 24th update for the year. That’s 24 updates of helping you get more out of cycling. For the last one of the year it’s focused on introducing new pricing tiers that aligns to your different motivation levels throughout the season and features split based on how you follow a personalised training plan. Plus, there is a new way to activate your trial period where you’re in control. And no, we don’t ask you to enter your card details upfront. No one likes that.
Let’s make 2023 the best one yet!

You know what’s better than receiving a Xmas present on Xmas day? Receiving one before Xmas day. That is what this update is all about.
On the home screen, you’ll see your new training rating score that will tell you how smart you're training.
The new suggested hours feature lets you know if you're riding enough to achieve your goal ambition. So you can train with confidence.
Plus there are a bunch of all round improvements. Enjoy.
Nov, 3rd 2022
Not a super exciting release this one, with some fixes around onboarding and the upload form. After all, if you could eat your favourite cake every day, would it taste as good?
Also, since the last release there has been a bunch of performance tweaks under the hood that happen every week regardless of new app updates.
Plus, it’s not long now before a bunch of new features drop focused on helping you understand what to expect from a training plan and how to measure progress without hitting a PB.
Sep, 21st 2022
For this release, it isn’t as good as the last one. There are a couple of bug fixes around the readiness and your status for subscription.
But did you know the furthest someone has ridden in one day was 941 kms at the Velodrome Suisse. There is a good chance Christoph Strasser’s readiness score would be low the next day.
Sep, 13th 2022
You know that feeling when you put in your fast wheels for the first summer ride? This is what this release will feel like. Based on your feedback, we’ve developed our own readiness score to help you understand how you’re doing today and identify what habits you can improve on. To become a faster bike rider, it is built by what you do off the bike. Plus there are a bunch of improvements etc for you to enjoy.

The old switch off, switch on trick tends to sort most things out when it comes to tech misbehaving. So in this short but snappy release, you now have the functionality to disconnect your Garmin, TrainingPeaks, Strava and/or Wahoo account inside Spoked. Just remember, rides uploaded before connecting to Spoked won't be pulled in.
July, 7th 2022
You know when you live with something in the house and you don't notice it, till a friend comes round and goes what's that? Well, that's what Bruno helped us out with. He spotted a bug where the upload form didn't always update to match exact way you were riding. Our bad, but now it's fixed. Unfortunately, these little bugs slip through the net time to time. So if you spot anything, please drop us a note at hello@spoked.ai
June, 13th 2022
Notice anything different? Well in this release we’ve given light mode and dark mode a few touch ups around the edges. We hope you like them. Plus you wanted to know how each plan can help you, so now there is added context and its benchmark focus. Lastly there are a couple of tweaks that all add up to creating a nicer Spoked experience for you.
May 27th 2022
Thanks to Sean who is part of the Spoked community. He noticed something was up with the new calendar that was built in the last release. So we’ve gone to work and made amends. Now you’ll see our own calendar that will open up every time. If you notice something up in Spoked, we always want to hear from you.
May, 23rd 2022
You know what’s better than the creation of sliced bread? Adaptive mode. Now every session you complete will potentially adjust your training plan. Just think you’ll pay a coach over £200 for this monthly service. Plus you can now turn on/off and set the time for notifications, My week has been split into two - schedule and stats, you can delete your account and use Face ID.
April, 14th 2022
We’ve worked on the feng-shui within Spoked for this release by improving a number of areas to make it even simpler to train smarter.
There is now a new plans section so anything related to plans is in one place, improved the session page (pre-upload) and relocated profiles and settings. Lastly, we’ve made the initial onboarding easier for you to understand what your next steps should be for getting started.
March, 15th 2022
It never gets easier, you just get faster.
And to get faster, you need to train smarter. This is where Spoked can help you. Now when you edit your week you have two choices, you can update the whole week or just the changes you’ve made. It’s all about keeping it balanced. Plus Spoked now pulls in data from Garmin and Wahoo. And the help content has moved inside Spoked.
Feb, 10th 2022
You know that feeling when you receive a new bike for Christmas? Well it’s been reported the same feeling is achieved with the release of dark mode for Spoked. We’ve also created an insightful plan report to help you measure and highlight your progress. Plus there is added context around building your first week within the plan builder flow.
Lastly we tidied up areas around home, my plan, progress, subscription and the initial loading.
Jan, 21st 2022
You know how you want to take your bike in for a service before a big race or event. It’s about tightening a few things up. This is what this release is about. Before we go live with dark mode and a new plan report, we wanted to fix a few small things under the hood.
Jan, 11th 2022
Did you know ants have superhuman strength? These bugs are pretty cool. What’s not cool are bugs in Spoked. This release has been focused on getting rid of them to improve your experience.
Plus we’ve introduced tooltips across Spoked and for Android users, you can now use the phone’s back button to make it smoother moving about.
Dec, 15th 2021
I feel the need… The need for speed!
And this has been the focus of this release. We’ve measured how long it takes to blink 3 times. Now that’s the time it takes to load the areas around Home, My plan and Progress. Plus, there is a cool redesign across the main pages because it’s nearly Xmas.
We’ve also tweaked the initial loading of Spoked, peak rides, plan overview, profile and squashed a number of bugs along the way.
Nov, 15th 2021
Less equals more and we’re big believers in this. When you train, you don’t want to be overwhelmed with data and it needs to be super simple to follow.
So this week we’ve tidied up elements around My Plan and being able to move rides, when you shouldn’t be able to. Plus you can now edit your milestones (no cheating now) and there is a little reminder to complete your health stats everyday.
Lastly, squashed bugs around progress, home and profile.
Nov, 5th 2021
Measure twice, cut once. Or test 10 times, release once.
In the last release there was a bug around locking out some riders when you’re subscribed. This has now been squashed (thank you for patience).
Plus, you can now set your FTP/FTHR to 0, there is an alert for selecting your training type when FTP/FTHR is set to 0 and sped up the submit week process by 70%
Nov, 3rd 2021
Do you know what’s just as slick as Micheal Jackson’s moonwalk?
The slick transitions between all the screens in Spoked. Now they slide in right and left depending on the action you take. Plus, there is now a referral code in the register page - watch this space.
Lastly, we’ve made tweaks to the profile, sessions and the flow of when you enter Spoked for the first time.
Oct 30th, 2021
There is something nice about the noise you make when you clip into your pedals on the first attempt. There is a nice snap. Now when you log into Spoked (you don’t need to do it often), we’ve added in Face/Touch ID so it's a nice and crisp experience. Just like the sound of clipping in.
Also, you can now input your lead training type; power, HR or feel. This sets the default setting when analysing your session instructions or feedback.
Oct, 21st 2021
The antidote to a bad day is a good workout. How do you know if it’s any good? Well, to start it needs to be personalised to you and this is all we do. You’ll have a good workout waiting for you through the good and the bad days.
This week, we’ve tweaked the layout of the profile page and improved the experience when you don’t have any active plans. Plus we’ve removed a few particles but made it more punchier for the celebration moment when you upload your ride.
Sep, 14th 2021
There has been a huge effort by the team to get Spoked into both app stores. Now, we have the app in there, the focus for this release was to tighten up the experience.
Sep, 23rd 2021
This is the second update the team has pushed and we’re chuffed with the results. Like last week, a lot of the focus has been tightening up the experience/work flows and squashing any pesky bugs.
Sep, 29th 2021
Now onto our third update. That's has gone quick! In this release, we’re pleased to report not as many bugs were reported, maybe we’ve got them all. We’ve chuffed with the design improvements around the edit to train form and Zwift export for iOS works like a charm now.
Oct, 7th 2021
We feel like we’ve turned a corner now, where the emphasis is less on bug squashing but rather optimising your experience within the current feature set in Spoked. A lot of the time was focused on redesigning the home page to help build positive habits that focus on steps before you achieve a PB session.
Oct, 16th 2022
Did you know there are 116 links in a cycling chain? Each link is just as strong as each other. If one is to break, you're not going anywhere fast.
The same thing can be said for Spoked. This week the team has reinforced the code (links) to ensure you have a smooth experience. The main area of focus was logging back in to ensure the payment screen didn’t flash and you were stuck on any loading screens after an update
