HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (7.6 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.4 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Jul 15, 2026
Dev moved previously paid for features behind a paywall.

This app was great. I paid $5 for it, but then the dev put several basic features from the $5 paid version behind a paywall: control your music, volume lower, and start any command/shortcut with any button. Why are these behind a $29/year paywall now?! Just sell software once and don’t roll features behind an additional paywall after you already sold them with the initial app fee. Jeez. I would have loved to give this app 5 stars otherwise. This is bait and switch stuff.

bridges the gaps

really nice to use my hardware outside the walled cartoon garden of zwift

Winner for Zwift Ride Owners!

I love my Zwift Ride but after a year or so I really wanted to migrate over to TPV but I wasn’t a fan of shifting from their app. Enter Bike Control! I’ve had the app for quite some time, patiently waiting for the TPV integration and now that it’s here I have been very happy with the results. The one hiccup I’ve had the developer was super responsive and quickly fixed it. Highly recommend!

Mid App

6 dollar to purchase the app to look at the interface; subscription fee to use virtual shifting( update:$6 button layout for laptop to make reaching more pleasing, free for sweaty touchscreen user, but optional $3 a month or $30 a year for Zwift click or Bluetooth media user.

★★★★★May 31, 2026
No bluetooth option when setting up with ios

Doesn't work as advertised

★★★★★May 30, 2026
Misleading Pricing

App requires an additional $3 / month payment to make key features work, ie, TrainingPeaks Virtual shifting with Zwift Play controllers.

What's new in 7.3

**Features**: • Shimano Di2: much better integration. The shifters work as BikeControl buttons right away, without assigning D-Fly channels in the E-Tube app first. The Di2 shifts normally again once BikeControl disconnects, and no Di2 setting is changed. • Biketerra is now officially supported: it connects to BikeControl over Bluetooth via OpenBikeControl, with buttons and steering. • Stages SB20: the bike's shift buttons work as a controller (beta). **Fixes**: • Gamepads keep working while the trainer app is in the foreground (Android, macOS, Windows). • Improved virtual shifting on trainers that apply gears without confirming them (KICKR family, Tacx Neo). • Van Rysel trainers are now detected

Released Oct 9, 2025. Current version shipped Oct 20, 2026.

Store description

Add virtual shifting to any indoor training app. BikeControl (formerly SwiftControl) turns a controller you already own into a virtual shifter: Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS / eTap, WHEELTOP EDS, Zwift Click, Zwift Play, Zwift Ride, CYCPLUS BC2, Thinkrider VS200, a Bluetooth remote or a gamepad. WHAT YOU CAN DO ▶ Virtual gear shifting - in apps that support it natively, and in apps that do not ▶ Steering and turning ▶ Adjust workout intensity ▶ Control music on your device ▶ Tune everything around shifting: gear count, ratios, gearing ▶ More? If you can do it by keyboard, mouse or touch, you can do it with BikeControl WORKS WITH Officially supported, built in natively: MyWhoosh, Rouvy, TrainingPeaks Virtual, Strappo Also supported: Zwift, Biketerra, FulGaz and any other app you can drive by keyboard or touch BikeControl applies the gear change at the trainer and sends the resulting resistance to the app, so virtual shifting works even in apps that have no virtual shifting of their own. SHIMANO Di2 AND SRAM AXS Pair the road shifters you already ride outdoors and use them to shift virtual gears indoors. No extra hardware, no adapters. SUPPORTED CONTROLLERS ▶ Zwift Click, Click v2, Ride and Play ▶ Shimano Di2 ▶ SRAM AXS and eTap, every individual button ▶ WHEELTOP EDS ▶ Wahoo Kickr Bike Shift, Pro, V1 and V2 ▶ CYCPLUS BC2 and Thinkrider VS200 virtual shifters ▶ Elite Sterzo Smart and Elite Square Smart Frame, for steering ▶ Gamepads, Bluetooth HID devices and keyboards ▶ Your phone on the handlebar, steering with its sensors OPEN SOURCE BikeControl is open source: https://github.com/OpenBikeControl/bikecontrol PRIVACY ▶ BikeControl only accesses your screen to perform the gestures you configure ▶ All gesture configurations stay on your device ▶ No personal data is collected or transmitted Not affiliated with or endorsed by Zwift, Inc., Shimano, SRAM, Wahoo or Elite.
