App is crushing on iPhone 14

This app will not work on iPhone 13 or14 it will start and connect but if you wane to change any settings or try to unlock setting app will crush it may need an update for never iOS versions

Crashing

Every time I try to unlock to do a reset the app closes. If this is fixed it would be a great app to have and use

Won’t unlock

What good is it if I can’t unlock to make adjustments. I need to make minor adjustments so my bike will run right but that’s not happening with this app.

App is spotty and hard time staying connected and will not let me do anything but browse

It works, but instructions are non existent

Decided to install this device on a recommendation from a friend. I ran my ‘08 Harley Fat Bob for a full year with the PowrPro Black installed at factory settings and had mixed feelings. It fixed the throttle response and smoothed out the ride, but created a new problem: surging/hesitating/hiccuping randomly at cruising speed, which was really unnerving! I spent quite a bit of money and several hours installing the device and really couldn’t bring myself to remove it. I thought that the surging was inherent in the Cobra product after reading several bad reviews and decided to just live with it. I discovered there was a tuner app but could not figure out how to connect it to make adjustments. The instructions are absolutely horrible! I finally found a YouTube video made by an end user explaining how to connect it to the bike. Success! Next I had to figure out how to use the tuner. I don’t understand much, but I managed to get rid of most of the surging and hesitation by adding 1 and 1/2 percent increase in fuel at cruising speed. Why Cobra does not offer this information to their end-user is absolutely baffling to me. I read so many negative reviews and posts from people who ripped the thing out of their bike because they couldn’t figure out how to use it. Don’t you guys want people to have success with your products? Explain to them how to use it! Come on Cobra!!!!

Works well, but have a request!!

Got it installed. What I have had success with was Bluetooth does connect quicker at startup. It will pair later during the ride but it is slower to establish connection. I figured out how to make adjustments, after unlock and disclaimer swipe either up or down on screen. For some reason it wants me to do this on the left side of the screen. Odd but ok, manageable. What I would find useful would be if I could capture a rides metrics and look at it on my comp. it would be unsafe for me to try and focus on the screen while riding and I have no desire to take it to a dyno. Right now all I can view is real time data, great at startup and shutdown but useless for figuring out tweaks or looking for telltale signs of issues.

In the end I bought this unit expecting it to do the tweaking for me and I see minor differences the more I ride so it is happening to some degree but again if I could have a rides data available from say my ride home from work on any given day that would help me.

I am happy with the unit either way. My bike rides better, I have better throttle response and no backfires just like COBRA told me it would fix.

Works great but room for improvement!!

Please update you’re APP!!!

I can connect to cobra PowrPro Black APP using Bluetooth scanner. Blue light comes on, but APP still will not connect. Please update the app!

Request 2

Can you just make updates with newer features
And more stability !!!

Very disappointed

I can monitor things with this app but it will not let me adjust anything… Literally lets me unlock gives me a warning that if I change anything that it’s my own responsibility and then when I go to change it, absolutely nothing happens !!! this app is horrible!!!

And the tuner is not very good as well! because now I am stuck with a bike that jerks and screws around when I’m trying to just cruise because the fuel is all effed up and I can’t change it because the app doesn’t let me

Update 6/8/19

This app still does not work at all

I deleted a Tonna stuff on my phone to free up storage hoping that maybe it was my phone that was making the app not work correctly… But unfortunately this app still does not work at all.

It allows you to monitor things but it does not allow you to edit/change anything whatsoever. ☹️

Overall pretty neat but it isn’t perfect

I have a low screen timeout setting to save battery and this app unfortunately doesn’t keep the screen awake which is quite annoying.

There should also be some sort of basic set of instructions on how to tune the neutral and develop fueling with this app.

Aside from those two complaints it is a pretty cool app.
