App crashes on startup, iOS 16.1.1

Useless in this stateโ€ฆ needs update.

Rubbish

Cannot open app when opened it immediately crashes out and phone returns to Home Screen

Firmware issue

This used to work really well but the Jan/Feb 20 firmware update seems to have broken it. The app now wonโ€™t recognise the device properly. Have tried new batteries but no luck. A shame as it was a very useful bit of kit.

Just stopped working

This has just stopped working.
The app can no longer but up my cable. Really frustrating as weโ€™ve only has it a few months. Can you sort this out ASAP.
Iโ€™ve done a battery change and a reinstall, nothing works.
Just the one start for me until this sorted, ruining my training

Worked great until the last update

I connect the cable to my garmin speed and cadence sensors to use my spin bike with zwift. Worked great until the last update now my speed drops to 0 randomly a few times each session. Annoying. Please fix!

Works but could be much better

Used to convert heart rate ant + so compatible with iOS for Zwift on an iPad. Finds sensors quickly & reliably but interface into iOS more problematic & have to keep exiting Zwift to restart / check Cable. No on / off functionality so burns through batteries as keeps auto connecting with iPhone - hard to use Zwift companion when on the bike as wants to switch from iPad to iPhone. Once set up works well but annoying the takes away from ride time fiddling with it at start of each ride.

Used to work... now junk

Drops mid ride now.

Works fantastic!

I use Garmin HR strap and an ipad pro for zwift, the CABLE adapter works seamlessly for me, no problems, just better experience on zwift. Needed new battery out of box, after that it has worked with no issues. Detailed instructions & good support!

Good but 1 issue

Works well but has jus one issue for me..

Works flawless until about 2 hours 45 mins into ride then for some reason it stops transmitting.

Done 2 rides this week and both resulted in the above..

Iโ€™ve got latest software installed

Convenient solution for a protracted problem

This device and its app fill a glaring gap for a specific group of people.
In my case most of my fitness sensors are ANT+ and with Zwift Bluetooth connectivity was needed in limited scenarios. I usually use Zwift with ANT+ on my MacBook so no need there. But for apps like Rouvy on the iPad or when I use my Apple TV or when I run at the gym this app and device helped me to continue to use the sensors I like.
With 2 profiles one for cycling and another for running it solved my issues. I purchased a Wahoo HR for BT broadcast but I never liked the comfort of the device. I always preferred Garmin. Garmin now has dual HR but I donโ€™t need to buy that.
I connect my Vector 2, my HR and my foot pod to it.
