Leave a Review Wahoo ELEMNT Companion
Trash app and environment!
It works when it works. But the problem is that it never works 100%, each new update something breaks. This new version is the time of Strava upload workout not to work. It is ridiculous the concept of this app, after you finish the workout you were supposed to sync it into the companion app, and from there everything works on your phone, the bike computer is just a terminal (or at least should be), but nop, most of things you have to have the device around to make the companion app to work properly. Ohhh yes, the bike computer (bolt v2) once in while just loses connection with a sensor and you just realize after you start the ride, so you have to stop, disconnect, and re-connect the sensor. But it is not a 3rd party sensor, I’m talking about wahoo sensors, like kickr, tickr, etc.Show lessBolt continually needs pairing w iPhone
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.Show lessGlitches
I’ve been having regular issues with the app, stating that other authorized applications, in this case, ridewithGPS, are unauthorized and need to re-login. I do it, and then it gives me the same error next time I open the app. More problematically, it seems like the bolt computer is not able to turn off after a very obvious shut down sequence and stays on to the point of killing the battery overnight. This is caused multiple issues when trying to roll out of the house, only to find out that the computer, which had more than 50% at the end of the last ride is now dead. These are basic issues, and really shouldn’t be happening at this stage of the app and computer lifecycle.Show less
