Brand new to this--what is everyone's pairing and spindown procedure? Kickr snap, Galaxy S20 note plus, surface pro

If I do the spindown with the wahoo app, then it takes forever to pair to zwift and I usually have to both shut down the wahoo app and unplug the bike... And then it still seems to take a while to connect. I hear the zwift spindown is unreliable. I kind of need to do some sort of spindown because part of the reason I got the snap is the portability for when I go on the road.

I've heard if I try to connect through the pc app, the connection is super buggy. Yesterday, I was cut off mid ride after connecting through my surface pro, but I blamed it on my phone running out of battery.

So what's the most efficient way to connect that doesn't take 15 minutes? I missed a ride this morning because of this.
