Wahoo

His heart rate monitor has done far more than I expected. The other day for the first time I noticed that it also access a thermometer, measuring the ambience air temperature. Considering that I work out at home with Katabel’s, indoor bike and other devices, I don’t keep my house at a low temperature in the 60s, and constantly have my temperature above 80 especially living in Las Vegas. being able to see how the temperatures affect my work out have been great. The built-in cadence technology has also been amazing. Then let’s get to the part of the advice that I really wanted this to work for; heart rate monitor. This is absolute fantastic. My Garman watch typically defaults to what is detecting on my wrist. Period. I’ve noticed in the past that when you go above 160 beats a minute, it becomes less and less accurate. Carmens are absolutely amazing watches, but without the accurate, chess trap like most smart watches the heart rate monitor is just not good enough. The pairing between this strap in my Garman are taking my workouts to the next level with detail.. And I would absolutely recommend this device to everybody. For runners, cyclists and triathletes, this really is an essential piece of equipment.

I have been using this app for about a year with my Kickr. Overall, the app works well. I find the in-ride controls to be fairly easy to use. No issues with connecting to cadence/other sensors (looking at you, Zwift). I like being able to review my stats and have it all connect to the iPhone Health app. My one request would be for the ability to create prefab workouts rather than having to manually adjust resistance on the fly. I would like to be able to open the app and pick something I have saved in advance, like HIITs or sweet spot training or whatever, without having to adjust the settings while I ride. Thanks! UPDATE: what is the point of the new statistics feature, when it doesn’t even show indoor cycling? I did a ride and went to check out the new feature . . . made sure every single option is toggled on to display . . . and it says I did nothing today. Is it only for tracking workouts that people do outside??

Wahoo is trying to fix my app crashing problem. They even sent me out a new TICKR X2 for free hoping that will fix the crashing issue. We will see. The other things wahoo should add to get a 5 star rating is integration with either APPLE/Google maps so we can get turn by turn real navigation in app, or add that feature themselves like Bikemap or Ride with GPS so we don’t need to run multiple apps simultaneously which can lead to very skewed readings. Keep up the good work. You guys aways have friendly and responsive customer service. After updating my iPhone 11 Pro Max to iOS 13.6.1 and updating wahoo fitness, the app stopped working. Every time I tried to open the app it would hang for a few extra seconds and then close. It’s screen would appear when I went into multitasking mode but would still not open. Customer service email suggested I delete and reinstall the app, which I had already done once before, erasing 3 months and 91 workouts in that time frame. They also recommended uploading the data to strava, which I do already, but the graphs aren’t exactly the same. And what happens when the app crashes before I can upload to strava? This is unacceptable. I’d switch to a different app altogether but I rely on the cadence sensor in. The TICKR X, which is not compatible as far as I can tell with other cycling apps that are compatible with Bluetooth HR chest straps. 1 Star until fixed. And I’ll not be purchasing the Kickr Snap indoor trainer, since their software is so buggy.
