App for displaying 30s rolling average power

Bicycles Asked on January 9, 2021

I use a power meter without a dedicated cycling computer like Garmin or Wahoo, I prefer to ride with my phone on the handlebars.

I found a couple of cycle computer apps which can be paired with the power sensor, displaying some power data during the ride: Ride With GPS, Wahoo Fitness. However, they only display the momentary power data, which is very "jumpy" from second to second (plus some other stats like max 20s power, or average/normalized power over the whole ride).

Is there an app that allows the user to configure a rolling window of 5/10/20/30 seconds over which to average the power data? It would be much more useful for pacing oneself or training with power zones.

EDIT: I’ve accepted the answer about IpBike, because based on the description of its features it fits the bill. However I’d be grateful for more answers specifically for iPhone apps, not only Android.

IpBike (which I use without sensors) gives rolling average power if your power meter is ANT+ (or BLE I think). The example shows a 20s average, which can be configured.

This is Android only, and free to try for long enough to get a feel for it (not expensive after that).

I'm not convinced you'll find an entirely satisfactory app, as most people who invest in a pricey power meter would tend to use a separate device such as this one

This app seems like it might have what you are looking for

There don't seem to be too many users, but the app was recently updated (11 October) and the author seems to respond to feedback, so possibly if it's not quite what you want you might get improvements made!?
