This app isn’t that user friendly to me, good technology but not the most user friendly experience.
After the latest update, I haven’t been able to consistently sync my rides from my Bolt. I can view them on the Bolt, but not on the app. I’ve had other bugs and glitches too. Feels like a beta. Release a finished product!
I’ve been using a Wahoo Bolt for several years without much drama. Recently I upgraded to a V2 Bolt which I like. However, after a recent update to the Bolt and companion app, I continually need to unpair and then pair my iPhone 13 w the Bolt. Opening up the app and turning on the Bolt, the app sits there continuing to “Searching” with the Bolt next to it. I end up needing to FORGET the Phone then reregister as if I now have a new phone in order for the app to connect w the Bolt. Looking at BT, it will also say the Bolt is connected and yet the app continues to search. I’d love to know what I am doing wrong. Did not have this issue w V1 until more recently.
Seriously, fix your app. You have to nail the basics.
Solid meh no frills app. Not as good as Garmin as you’ll have to rely on Strava and Training Peaks to cover performance and training. Annoying broken gear ratio programming for new Ultegra 8170. I’m so sick of seeing 2-5 instead of 52-17. Support says it’s a known bug but it’s been months since I asked.
It’s pretty lit
Training Peaks export continues to be junk after whatever recent change was done to how it syncs. I wouldn’t buy one of these at the moment.
Every time there’s an update something goes wrong and data won’t export to other synced apps. Such a waste of time trying to import my workouts into Training Peaks
App constantly freezes up. If I don't manually close it, it will get hung up and when I finish a ride it hasn't saved to the app, so I have to go turn my Bolt back on. Annoying.
The Elemnt Roam computer is a huge upgrade in user friendliness from my Garmin Edge 830. I don’t miss the touchscreen in the least and find overall use and customization of the computer screen far easier. That said, other parts of the ecosystem are less than perfect… Most relevant here, updating the computer from the app is successful only rarely. I try routinely, but selecting “Update” in the app just causes the new-version-available notice to briefly disappear, and the computer remains unchanged; likewise, checking for updates from the computer settings is merely a drain on the battery. Another annoyance is new for me, as I’ve owned the unit only 9 mos: I link my unit to Strava, but now the app shows that I need to Reauthorize Strava (this may be an issue with Strava integration alone, as I don’t need to reauthorize Apple Health). Consistently, I follow the reauthorization path through the app, and it seems to work, but quickly app Settings indicates that I must reauthorize (again). This state doesn’t seem to affect seamless exporting of rides to Strava, so it’s minor issue that doesn’t affect functionality. Less minor, however, is the performance of their Tickr HR monitor. It was quite disturbing the first time I watched my apparent HR go from 150 to 160 to 170 to 190… before it locked up at 225bpm. I’d like to think I’m so fit, but in my 60s, I thought I was suffering a cardiac event and quickly pulled to the roadside. My AppleWatch and checking my pulse manually were the only assurances that kept me from calling 911! Since then, the Tickr is sometimes accurate but often bounces around wildly. Despite these issues, as long as I leave the Tickr at home, I love the Roam 2 and can live with the foibles of the app. Blows away Garmin with their clunky interface and terrible apps!
