### 1/5 — App is Garbage

*2023-02-23, version 2.2.4*

This is probably the worst app I have ever used.  There’s no decent documentation on how to sync stats to your Fitbit or even how to use the app.  I thought I figured it out, but the app doesn’t work consistently.  Support is little help as all they have to work with is knowledge articles so you can’t really get support if it’s a complex problem.  It’s too bad as the DeskCycle is a solid piece of equipment.  The app and corresponding support degrade the experience.  One star for this app is one star too many.

### 1/5 — DeskCycle equals useless

*2023-02-21, version 2.2.4*

Useless App! The company needs to find a fix to the app, it’s constantly not working.

### 1/5 — Server Error

*2023-02-02, version 2.2.4*

Everything I do returns a server error.  Create an account, server error.  Try to create again, server error and email already used.  Go to login with said email, server error.  Try to do forgot password, server error.  What a joke!  The bike is nice but it’s a boat anchor as far as I’m concerned without being able to connect it to anything.  Last update to the app was over a year ago so there seems to be little hope of support.  

If you’re thinking about buying the bike because of  being able to connect it to Apple health, don’t waste your money like I did.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2023-01-29, version 2.2.4*

I purchased the DeskCycle Bluetooth sensor from Amazon. It automatically records all of my DeskCycle activity. I love that I can set goals. I can easily get 15,000 steps per day while working at my desk. Thank You!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-01-24, version 2.2.4*

I can’t log into the app. I’ve never been able. Contacted customer service and they act like it’s user malfunction, want pictures of errors, and then tell you to reset your password and use incognito. I did all that before contacting them and even installed and reinstalled app. Nothing works. There is no functionality or customer service behind the app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-01-03, version 2.2.4*

I have a health issue that has kept me inactive for months. I’m trying to build back up to being able to take my walks, so invested in the DeskCycle. The pedal bike itself works just fine, but this app is useless. Because I’m starting out so slowly,  I can’t record my activity because the pedal speed is too low to calculate my calories. I don’t care about the calories; I care about the exercise. 

I wanted to buy the Bluetooth sensor to hook it up to my Apple Watch but the sensor is not available anywhere. The readout on the LCD display is so dark that I literally need to shine a flashlight on it to be able to see what the figures. In the end, I strapped my Fitbit around my ankle so that I can get some kind of report on what I do.

### 2/5 — So frustrating!

*2022-12-31, version 2.2.4*

Why can’t it automatically save my progress if I accidentally clear the app!!!!

So frustrating especially with multiple hours of peddling and all that information lost

### 1/5 — Will not save data, nor sync with Fitbit

*2022-11-30, version 2.2.4*

I bought this cycle because it touted that it would work with Fitbit. Found out you need to purchase a device, which I did. 
Never could get it to sync, can’t even get its app to save data. 
I’m sure you don’t care.

### 1/5 — App never works

*2022-09-24, version 2.2.4*

It always logs me out mid use, makes me reset my password every time, and doesn’t connect to my Fitbit app when it says it does.

### 1/5 — Login impossible

*2022-09-12, version 2.2.4*

How to use this app remains a mystery to me. I can’t even login as it keeps telling me my email address has already been taken. I created an online account and apparently that means you can’t use the app. Don’t waste your time with this. It needs waaaaayy too much work to be truly functional and it needs instructions on how to use it.
