Pourtant avec un Samsung tout fonctionne ### 2/5 — App not uploading to Strava *2021-09-20, version 4.1.3* This app is not uploading my rides to my Strava account. It worked fine the first 2 rides and then the last 2 it wouldn’t upload at all. I’ve tried multiple times and still nothing. ### 3/5 — Données fiables? *2021-07-03, version 4.1.2* Je possède un Padrone Smart Plus. J’ai parfois l’impression que les données venant de mon capteur cardiaque et capteur de puissance sont différentes de la réalité. Souvent supérieur au chiffres analysés avec Zwift. Aussi, parfois en route le compteur perd la connexion de mon IPhone. J’ai cherché comment régler tout ça mais je n’ai rien trouvé... ### 2/5 — Stopped recording at 60 minutes mark *2021-01-10, version 4.1.0* It was working fine before but recently it stopped recording and drop connection at 60mintues in the ride. Very annoying as it messed up my ride data. It’s a good app if you don’t ever ride longer than 60 minutes. ### 3/5 — Recent update. *2020-08-16, version 4.0.0* since the recent update. Head unit won't connect to iphone. Other than that not a bad app. ### 3/5 — Trying to pair but unable *2020-03-06, version 3.1.12* I am trying to pair the device to iPhone via Bluetooth but I am unable would welcome any help. Thanks in advance ### 2/5 — Mirror Mode *2019-11-03, version 3.1.8* Still cannot set up mirror mode and it will not record route with gps. And there is no auto pause in app under « device » as described in manual. This is so aggravating. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2019-10-17, version 3.1.5* Has potential. Linking to phone not dependable. Reconnects frequently. Scale incorrect on cadence graph ### 2/5 — Application ok mais... *2019-05-09, version 3.0.1* Belle introduction à l’acquisition de données. Cette application fonctionne si vous ne voulez pas collecter trop de données. Pour l’utilisation intérieure, oubliez ça, l’application va juste faire une moyenne de votre vitesse. J’ai récemment utilisé un capteur de puissance, cadence, vitesse et HR et le capteur de puissance capte de façon intermittente alors qu’avec d’autre je n’ai jamais eu de problème de déconnection. En transférant les donnés vers Strava, les graphiques données de vitesses ressembleront à des dents de scie ( pic à 43 km/h et redescente à 26 km/h alors que je roule constant autour de 30-35.). Je trouvais intéressant d’avoir la possibilité d’ajouter des capteurs, avec la combinaison du padrone smart mais je dois dire que je suis un peu déçu du produit. Je m’attendais à plus considérant que j’avais toujours eu des cateye analogique avant qui fonctionnait à merveille..je donne 2 étoiles pour la facilité d’utilisation de l’appareil.... ### 2/5 — Works ok but *2019-02-04, version 2.0.6* Loses connection during ride and will no longer upload to Strava. it works ok but spend the extra money and buy a Garmin. ### 2/5 — Bluetooth Pairing Conflict! *2017-09-30, version 1.6.3* 9/30/2017: I lost my Strada Smart. Had it for a long time. Had it's nuances, but rarely lost connection. Bought a Pandrone Smart. Initially, it seemed to work fine, just like the Strada. Then I noticed it started to randomly lose connection with my iPhone (iOS 10.2). Then after only about 5 rides or so, it would not stay connected to the phone more than 10 secs. It would connect, then disconnect and you would have to do the 2-button reset on the Pandrone to get any response (Pandrone would think it was still connected ... "Ready"). I tried everything, including fresh batteries, removing all other bike bluetooth devices in the app, cold boot of phone, and finally a re-installation of the Cateye app. Nothing worked. Then I thought about something that was different with the Pandrone vs the Strada. When the Pandone pairs to the phone, it would pair BOTH to the app AND to iOS. That was the problem. There was a conflict. So I just removed the iOS bluetooth device ("forget this device") and tried again. Bingo. The ony problem is EVERY TIME you connect the Pandrone, iOS asks if it can pair. You have to "cancel" the request or else the conflicts will return. Can someone please fix this?? 3/21/15: Need to add Tire Circumference option of 29x2.2 (2298mm) or allow manual entry. 3/3/15: PLEASE FIX THE STRAVA UPLOAD!! DATA IS INCORRECT. STRAVA TECH SUPPORT VERIFIED API UPLOAD IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. The app in general does the job, but there are issues with the data upload to Strava and TrainingPeaks. The Strava upload is almost useless … power is not uploaded and HR and cadence values are off. The TrainingPeaks upload gets the basic sensor data right, but the zones don't upload. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Latest update no longer supports Padrone Digital *2026-02-19, version 4.1.8* App will no longer connect to padrone digital cycling computer ### 1/5 — Completely unintuitive *2025-07-18, version 4.1.7* This is one of the most difficult devices I ever had setting anything up. And I am an engineer. I could set up a VCR from the 80s easier than this. The main problem is is following the instructions is impossible because the buttons don’t function as the instructions say they do. Example, after pairing the computer with an iOS device, the instructions say to press the menu button so you can set kilometers per hour or miles per hour. However, pressing the mode button has no effect on the screen at all. It changes absolutely nothing. You cannot progress this point. I’ve added and deleted this computer several times and still cannot get it to work. Guess I’m gonna have to go to YouTube and see if I could find anything there. ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-07-19, version 4.1.6* Cateye is garbage. Do not buy ### 1/5 — The latest version crashes on syncing with the padrone smart+ *2020-08-16, version 4.0.0* Renders the bike computer useless ### 1/5 — Updated app ver4 keeps crashing *2020-08-15, version 4.0.0* Ver 4 updated today and every time I try to connect to padrone+ the app crashes ... its shock horror on my iPhone6 ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time if you have wahoo sensors *2019-10-31, version 3.1.8* Expect to restart your phone multiple times to get this to recognize any wahoo sensor. It will pair, but takes at least 1 restart. Settings and other apps all recognize the sensor, but this refuses too. I have several speed/cadence and heart rate sensors. It works flawlessly with all of them except wahoo. ### 1/5 — Overheats IPhone *2019-04-20, version 3.0.1* I am using IOS 12.2 on my iPhone. The last few times I’ve gone cycling the app has caused my phone to heat up to the point the display goes completely dim. I’ll be trying a difficult app now. ### 1/5 — Poor *2018-10-04, version 2.0.4* Awful now won’t connect to blue tooth after software update, worst 60£ I have ever spent ### 1/5 — Communication problems *2018-04-27, version 2.0.1* Always losing communication with device during the ride the screen goes on search mode ### 1/5 — Appalling *2018-02-11, version 1.6.7* This has always been a temperamental device/app combination but an update before Christmas means it’s completely useless. Sent the device back but it was just replaced, so no surprise, no change. Now have a £50 clock on my handlebars. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cateye Padrone with blue tooth. *2020-09-07, version 4.0.2* Own two. Great computer and would recommend to anyone as it is also priced right!! ### 5/5 — Works great with Trek Bluetooth!!! *2020-03-30, version 3.1.12* Tried five or six other apps that work just fine work my trek bontrager blutooth, but this one works effortlessly, syncs fast and shows all the data I need; accurately for daily rides and even long weekend rides, great easy to use app, love it !!! ### 5/5 — My main cycle app now *2019-12-31, version 3.1.11* Great cycling app, very simple to use ### 5/5 — Works Fine *2019-10-03, version 3.1.5* I like using his app, easy to use and I prefer it over some of the more popular ones. ### 5/5 — Apple Watch update? *2017-05-29, version 1.6.1* App works great and offers a decent alternative to a standalone god unit but would be great if any future release included Apple Watch support. I can now run with strava without lugging my phone about would be great if similar functionality was introduced for the cat eye app. ### 4/5 — Useful *2024-06-14, version 4.1.6* App was useful for recording time and distance, but did not help with telling speed , or connecting to my speedometer. ### 4/5 — Lap function in app *2020-11-30, version 4.1.0* Hi, I love my cateye padrone digital, Simple to use on the bike, and easy to mirror with the phone. It connects everything fine(HR, power, cadence & speed, but I can’t view the cateye map on my phone and see metrics on my computer simultaneously. I get over that part, but it really bothers me that I cannot set a lap manually through the app. Am I looking over something or does that function not exist? Any correspondence would be greatly appreciate. Thank you, Supper happy customer ### 4/5 — Very good *2020-05-11, version 3.1.12* Very good cycling app, it would be even better if you were able to connect an Apple Watch ### 4/5 — Useful little gadget *2019-10-30, version 3.1.8* I use my phone for all things GPS, so having a cheap extension to display basics on my bars while my phone is in my back pocket is great. Weighs nothing and the app syncs with strava. ### 4/5 — Now works with iOS 10 *2016-09-25, version 1.5.7* App crashes when trying to connect to Strada Smart. Reported to Cateye on 17th Sep but no response received. App now fixed and seems stable --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
