Much better than the Cyclowax App

I accidentally gave a bad review of this app before this one and the bad review was meant for the Cyclowax app, not the Chain Wax app. This one works far better than the garbage Cyclowax app. It’s too bad Cyclowax doesn’t seem to care as much for customers as the Chain Wax app developer does.

Thanks!

Super easy wax tracker. Thanks for developing and making this available. 🤓

Love it! Simple!

I’d give a string 5 stars w a user option for when you wax - 1. Drip or 2. melted wax - in essence something 1. For Silva Super Secret and 2. Using the machine to dunk in melted wax. :-) great app tho! If there’s a GitHub somewhere I can add a feature req

Response from developer

Thanks for the review and the feedback! Great suggestion on distinguishing between drip wax and immersive waxing. I’ll add it to the backlog. No public GitHub, but always happy to hear feature ideas through reviews or email. Appreciate the support!

Simple. Effective. Perfect.

Does precisely what’s advertised and does it well. As a new chain waxing noob, this is exactly what I need to follow the waxing intervals for various bikes in the stable. Strava integration is seamless and the update to create custom mileage intervals was a great move.

Simple, but… oh-so-useful !

Fantastic app to track chain waxing.
Connecting to Strava is the icing on the cake.
