## What is GPS Ally+?

Part of our complete GPS ecosystem, the Lezyne Ally app is the key link between your phone and your Lezyne GPS device. The free app features the latest interactive and real-time technologies designed to enhance your cycling experience. Once paired to one of our GPS devices, you'll enjoy easy device customization, wireless ride syncing, route loading and mapping, and so much more. Experience effortless navigation, import .tcx and .gpx files, and connect cycling routes directly through the application. Additionally, the app is an easy-to-use resource to instantly save, store, and review rides from the palm of your hand. Activities can then be auto-synced to third party apps such as Strava, Komoot, Relive, TrainingPeaks, and more, as well as shared to popular social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. 
 
With the Lezyne Ally app, you can also take advantage of our Lezyne Track feature. When enabled, simply create a list of email addresses in the app and those recipients will then be notified every time you start a ride. These notification emails will include a link to our live tracking website where coaches, friends, and loved ones can keep track of where you are and see all of your ride metrics.
 
This app is for use with Lezyne Y10 and newer GPS Devices (2017 Model Year and newer).

### 2/5 — overall a terrible experience

*2025-10-21, version 5.65*

I use this app mainly to sync with strava, and since the last update backup to mobile only completes on 3-4th attempt, I get issues connecting to the cloud, overall a terrible experience.

Edit: it is also slow when transferring data, sometimes needs to be closed forcibly to work, the menus are unintuitive, it’s even worse than the satnav built into my car

### 1/5 — Not working as it should

*2025-08-06, version 5.65*

It’s not working intuitive and a lot of errors

### 5/5 — Thanks ☺️

*2025-07-05, version 5.65*

Great app, great motivation, thnx a lot ❤️

### 1/5 — Не работает приложение

*2025-06-11, version 5.65*

Приложение показывает ошибку что интернет не работает, проверьте соединение. Пробовал vpn, WiFi , сотовые данные . Ничего не помогло

### 2/5 — Usually reliable

*2025-06-11, version 5.65*

Lezyne GPS ally has now been broken down completely for two days. The company has released no media or explanation of the issue, but it is a global problem affecting world wide users of Lezyne GPS Ally. Problems include not being able to Login to your Lezyne profile, not being able to save ride files to phone, and not being able to upload rides to the cloud or Strava. Again - total app failure - no explanation from Lezyne. Reddit has several chats blowing up the problem. 
 Maybe time to finally buy that Garmin and ditch the Lezyne?

### 2/5 — 最近フリーズする事が多い

*2025-06-06, version 5.65*

最近アプリ操作中に動作が止まる事象が発生する様になってきた。このままでは適切に使用できなくなる。はやくアップデートで対処して欲しい。

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-04-13, version 5.65*

Very often I can´t pair my iPhone with iOs 18.4. Why is the last update of the app 6 months ago? This is really annoying... Lezyne Mega XL is great, but your app is terrible!

### 4/5 — Not cool

*2025-01-14, version 5.65*

Hallo,
Ich benutze diese App regelmäßig in Verbindung mit dem GPS MEGA XL.
Bisher mit guten Ergebnissen!
Nun habe ich bei außen Temperatur -5 eine Tour unternommen. Leider zeigt die Daten Auswertung eine Temperatur von über 200grad an! Anscheinend erfolgt bei der Auswertung ein numerischer Rechenfehler.

### 5/5 — Atualização

*2025-01-01, version 5.65*

Algumas funções não está funcionando, como notificações de ligação e mensagens, mapas não calcula rota entre outros. Modelo super pro please

### 2/5 — No updates to various services

*2024-12-21, version 5.65*

I report this assuming that the environment in which this app is used has not changed at all.

Since about a month ago, a number of update problems have appeared, such as not being able to update a terminated activty to this app, not being able to update Komoot, which is set to update at the same time, or trying to update from this app to relive. I have tried to update to relive from this app and it is impossible.

I hope this can be resolved.
