Crap.

Lots of problems with the connection. the worst are software updates which made the trainer unusable as a 2% climb is like 8% and above 5% is a wall. Do not update. Never. Watts are not reliable. It’s been years nothing has been fixed despite all the negative reviews on internet. They could just provide a link with all previous software versions so that you select the one that works because they decided to make your home traîner obsolète. Even velodrome training isn’t enjoyable.

Hello Xlab77, Thank you for your review. It sounds like your Smart trainer need calibrating, more than a problem with the software. Please write to us so we can provide you with information about calibrating your Smart trainer: support.bkool.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000021366 BKOOL Team

Bkool is not cool

This app will not update my bkool pro to v3.25 I am also having problems changing the bkool over to ANT+ fe-c. As far as I can work out the update will facilitate this. But bkool have removed this so that there devices are harder to setup with Zwift. Obviously to force you into using there own sim. So far not impressed with bkool or the pro. Probably best to give there products a miss in future.

Hello dewalt.nigel, Thank you for your review. I am afraid BKOOL Pro 1 trainers with firmware 3.1 or older cannot be updated to ANT+ FE-C. If you have firmware 3.16 write to us and we will give you the steps to follow to update to 3.25: https://support.bkool.com/hc/es/requests/new BKOOL Team

Poor app

Pointless is probably a better description.

Poor app

Bkool pro trainer is constantly at a high resistance, looked up this problem and advised to update the firmware via this app. Downloaded it but it won’t find it via Bluetooth and terrible customer service.

Hello jamesprconnolly, Thank you for your review. I am afraid BKOOL Pro 1 trainers with firmware 3.1 or older cannot be updated, sorry about this. Bkool Team

Something is not right

I went on the BKool Website where they mention that the latest firmware version is the 3.25.
I connect the device to the toolkit and it shows the version 3.16 and says that it’s the latest and no update needed. I have the BKool Smart Pro, it’s not responsive, always has high resistance and I’ve spent money and time trying to sort it out. The customer service is too slow and they always prompt me to read the website. I do as the instructions say, even asked friends for tips in case I’m missing something, but still no result. I’m stuck with a trainer that doesn’t work and this app doesn’t help at all. Really really disappointing!

Bluetooth

App won’t pick up my smart pro via Bluetooth, submitted a form on the website, no reply. Awful customer service.

App Works Perfect

Previous review may be true about Bkool on the whole but this app worked perfectly to update my trainer that does work with zwift etc. (Easy to do after a quick google)

Response from developer

Hey Gandhi Lee! Thanks so much for the positive feedback!🤩

Don’t bother. Avoid BKool

Bought a Smart Go, only for the company to shut hardware operations without warning, lock down their product to their software system, freeze out Zwift & now they aren’t responding to any of my support requests.

Don’t make the same mistake as me. Avoid like the plague.

Keeps shutting down

I have downloaded the BKOOL toolbox and BKOOL remote and both of them just shut down or you are left hanging while it tries to find user details, not user friendly and are thinking of following the majority to Zwift
