Is TandemFit good for hybrid training?
That's the case it was built for. Strength sessions and GPS cardio land in one history, and the app tracks what you can handle separately per discipline so a strong squat doesn't inflate what it asks of you on a run.
Is it beginner friendly?
Yes. You never have to classify yourself. It starts cautious and learns from the sessions you finish, so week one won't hand you something ridiculous, and there's no jargon wall to get through first.
What advanced tools are there?
Supersets, RPE logging, custom rest timers, per-lap cardio with warm-up, interval and cool-down segments, cadence and heart-rate context, raw .FIT and .TCX telemetry imports, and full history export.
How does it help when I'm travelling?
Look up a gym before you go and see what's been reported on its floor. If it doesn't have what your session calls for, you find out before you're standing in the locker room deciding whether to bother.
