MaximumTrainer, the free indoor cycling platform is closing operation and support effective September 7th, 2019.
The main developer Max posted the following message on the website:
“Unfortunately, we had no external developer help and donation can not even pay for the hosting of this site.”
MaximumTrainer was a free indoor cycling app with advanced features and the ability to create custom workouts, pair to your smart bike trainer, ERG mode, left/right power balance, and even had a studio function.
For possible alternatives, take a look at Golden Cheetah and ERGVideo
Sad news, even if it was foreseeable. Actually.
This is a real shame, it had a lot of features that even paid apps lack. Hopefully the app can be properly open-sourced and made into an offline app, to avoid the server costs. Unlikely to happen, but would be nice.
Can we maybe get intouch with the developer(s) and see if we can start a crowd-funding campaign, or something? Or maybe donations to get an offline version of the app?
Maxime Blais was the developer. You can find him commenting in this video: here https://youtu.be/nAhDABkaHmw
It looks like some tried to help but not enough to keep the project going.
