They have an android app, but the program runs on windows or Mac. I wouldn't hold out hope for Linux....

Who ever isn't using Zwift....should be! The BLE support is coming to
android eventually. The program gets pretty regular updates.

I believe that they only support using iOS devices as a bridge to select BLE devices. No support for Android, and no support for using the phone as a bridge to ANT+.

That said, both me and my wife use Zwift (I have a PowerTap wheel, she just uses zPower with a speed sensor) and it is just about as good as a trainer ride can be. Strava tells me that there are a lot of other OBRA folks using it too. I stuck 'PDX' at the end of my last name; yesterday I saw someone with a 'Camas WA' tag too!

Now that the Snowpacolypse has arrived, I figured I would give Zwift a try. If anyone out there is using it, I have a question for you:

I have a basic trainer (Kinetic Road Machine), a Stages Power meter, iPhone with Stages and Zwift apps installed, and Zwift software installed in my laptop. Since the Stages can connect to my phone, and my phone can connect through Bluetooth to my laptop, can I use this configuration to use Zwift or do I need to get the Garmin Ant+ dongle?

Any setup advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
