Useless

Now unsupported so latest iOS makes it useless on iPad. Thanks Bowflex…..

Nautilus U628

A lovely app, would be wonderful to have music integrated with each ride.

App Does Not Work At All

I have an apple iPhone 16 Pro and an Apple iPad Pro as well as an Apple iMac M1…this Explore The World App does not work at all! It crashes and closes every single time I try to connect to Nautilus U618 bike.

Does what I need

I’ve used the app for years with my Nautilus R618 recumbent bike. The R618 is a “dumb” bike - it has Bluetooth but it doesn’t work with most current apps. This app stopped working for me as well but I found that if I turned off WiFi, it worked. I was very happy to discover this. The app is simple: time elapsed, distance and speed. I don’t need much else. The app hadn’t been updated for years until 17 new premium runs were added late in 2025! 8 new free Hawaiian runs appeared soon after. There are upwards of 250 runs if you have premium (it is worth it). I like to watch something while exercising. I don’t want to pay attention to a show or movie. I also don’t need an instructor or a community. This app does what I need for a reasonable price. I was wishing for more updates, but when I created a spreadsheet and realized there were upwards of 250 runs, I guess I can’t complain. My R618 fits my needs and is in great shape for five years old so I’m hoping this app outlasts my bike.

App Doesn’t Truly Sync

This app does not truly sync with the bike. When I use the app it falls behind on mileage and time.
The subscription would not be worth it based on the syncing, and the free rides are just in a continuous loop. If I’m going to see the same things over and over on a one hour ride then I’m done with it.
The Schwinn app was better, but it was sold and discontinued.

Don’t waste your time

This app used to work great, now you get a blank screen. Don’t waste your time or money.

Junk

Doesn’t work

App crashes

The app continues to crash. I’ve deleted it and reinstalled it but it crashes every time I attempt to connect it to my equipment. I cannot find any app support offered. It’s very frustrating.

Nothing works

Nothing works, they abandoned the application

User beware

This app and developer are actively scamming. This is NOT the app it used to be.

Doesnt work

I’ve used the app for years. It hasn’t worked for months now. Will not show the various bike rides/routes. I even subscribed thinking that might be the issue. Nope. Just gave away a couple of months of fees. I’ve deleted it and redownloaded it, still not working. Signed up under a new email, nothing. Wasted quite a bit of time. Don’t waste yours.

Explore the World

This app need to be update badly a very terrible app

Busted doesn’t work

I used to enjoy this app sadly when I got on the bike today, I couldn’t connect and even all the different trips wouldn’t show up. This app should be taken down from the App Store.

Only way to Connect my Old Nautilus Equipment

This is the only way to connect my old equipment to my iPhone health app. Since Nautilis seems to have shut down its old app. However, it seems to send across my data as outside cycling. It’s obviously connected to an indoor recumbent bicycle. It could at least send across the data correctlysince I’m doing that. I’m assuming if I were to connect to a treadmill, it would accidentally record me as running outdoors. I would like my data recorded correctly, considering I am disabled.

Won’t load any of their screen

Downloaded app to track my rides it’s pointless now. Doesn’t work crashes when you enter the Home Screen it’s a big white screen. Gotta tape anywhere to see if you can get a ride for free then when it starts the ride it’s a black screen and two orange circles.

Inaccessible

As a visually impaired user, this app is pretty much useless. Just don’t seem to be able to get the information I need and navigate around the app. Definitely not buying this brand again.

Premium features

I paid for Premium in the App Store, but premium features are still unavailable

Blank screen

Screen is completely blank. Someone fix this.

Doesn’t work properly?

Well, this app has the potential to work very well except for a few bugs that need to be ironed out for example. I worked out 30 minutes and when I went back to check my history of working out, it only logged me down for four minutes and my videos do not work if it wasn’t for that ,I would subscribed and rate this app five stars, but it appears that no one on that end is putting forward no effort please let me know if there’s gonna be any updates PS Is the videos supposed to worked while riding the stationary bike ?

App not working

It used to work with my stationary bike, but now it connects, but all I get is a black screen. I paid a yearly fee, so I hope they get it fixed soon.
