Has anyone found an app for the trainer that can be played on a chromebook?

I love Chromebooks, anything that plays out of web browser should be fine, but I don't see anyone making specific dedicated apps as the customer base is just too small.

I am guessing (never tried it) that if you have on of the supported models an Android based app may work ?

i'm not sure if you can run TrainerRoad on a chromebook, but there is an android app for it. I think I read on the Trainerroad thread that it isn't supported, though.

I do not have an answer but wondered if you meant an app to measure virtual power, or something to control a smart trainer? Or, something else?

I think I would enjoy zwift or the Sufferfest app but I do not have a computer compatible with either. I have a Kurt Kinetic trainer, Garmin 310xt, HR monitor, Garmin speed/cadence sensor, chrome book and my PC which I dropped and is literally being held together with duct tape. I had the hard drive replaced after I dropped it but the hinge came loose again (thus the duct tape) and the USB ports do not recognize anything that I plug into them.
