### 1/5 — Useless application

*2026-05-19, version 3.11.11*

Impossible to connect GTR Bamboo. Always ask for password to connect 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

### 2/5 — Déçu

*2026-04-17, version 3.11.11*

Vos produits sont incroyables mais malheureusement votre application est vraiment inutile… c’est dommage

### 1/5 — crashes when recording the ride

*2026-03-24, version 3.11.11*

was nice to use when it worked.. now it will track the ride but when you hit save to map it crashes and you lose the ride..

### 3/5 — Intuitive to use but

*2026-03-02, version 3.11.11*

The app is unstable, have to turn it on several times prior it to appear normally, then once the travel tracking mode is on it does crashes easily while on route.
Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Why even have this ?

*2025-12-29, version 3.11.11*

Listen, the app is only useful for one thing, and that’s to update the remote. That’s it. Even that is poorly done as it says there’s an update every time I open the app for the remote and it’s always the same version. The map never works to log rides,  and as long as I have had it, they have never update board software. It’s very limited when using any customizations. Sure you can pick 4 new light colors… cool, but would be better if you could add different lighting effects. All in all I wish they would add new features and make it more intuitive, as of now it’s only used to do an update here and there.

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2025-12-15, version 3.11.11*

Don’t install the app if you have a GTR board. It’s obviously not designed for the GTR board, it broke mine. I can only use ECO & SPORT, I can no longer use GTR or CUST. The app refers to CORSA instead of GTR?? Haven’t been able to figure out how to revert back as of yet.

### 3/5 — Please fix

*2025-10-18, version 3.11.9*

App seems amazing but I have a iPhone 11 and as soon as I have add 1 ride in my app is now crashing with in 30 seconds of opening please fix evolve

### 1/5 — Great board, bad app.

*2025-08-23, version 3.11.6*

Love the company. Love the boards. On my second board but the app? forget about it. My fusion is not even listed as a Board in the app and I’ve tried everything but can’t even connect to it. Let alone see any of the functionality of the app, adjusting power curbs or brakes, etc. I hope it’s not User error but I’ve had no luck at all with the app.

### 1/5 — Used to be great, but now buggered

*2025-07-12, version 3.11.6*

A few months ago it worked fine, but now doesn’t show the map at all. It will still track your ride but there’s no map at all.  

Removed and reinstalled the app to no avail. Just seems to be goosed.

### 5/5 — 👌🤙👌

*2025-05-27, version 3.11.4*

The app is very intuitive and easy to use. It is only missing an Apple Watch app to log your rides 😃
