### 5/5 — App and Trainer both awesome

*2026-03-24, version 1.43.104*

I think the app and the trainer both get a bad rap. Mine have both worked flawlessly for some time. Out of the box the trainer had some connectivity issues with Wi-Fi, but a firmware updated fixed those for me and its been smooth sailing. Really happy with JetBlack.

### 1/5 — Völlig unbrauchbar

*2026-02-01, version 1.30.64*

Es gibt nur 2 Modi, „ERG“ und „Resistance“. Man kann aber keine Workouts erstellen. Was noch ärgerlicher ist: die App stürzt ständig ab und die Aufzeichnung wird beendet -Ursache nicht feststellbar.  
Unterm Strich ist die App also total unbrauchbar. 
Ich verwende ein Iphone 11, IOS 26.2.1. . 
Ich will kein Zwift o.ä. abonnieren, dazu nutze ich den Volt zu unregelmäßig. Aber eigentlich bleibt mir gar nichts anderes übrig. Bin total enttäuscht.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect

*2025-12-01, version 1.30.64*

This app never seems to come off searching for any signal.  My phone connects to other things and I have two trainers here that both connect to a laptop quickly and easily, but when disconnecting from the laptop and trying to connect to the app, they just keep blinking blue, saying they’re searching for a connection too.  Same with heart rate or other power meters.  It’s the app that’s off.

This is pretty awful.

### 1/5 — Very poor support

*2025-06-29, version 1.30.64*

Does not support any of their older trainers. I purchased a cadence and speed sensor brand new and one month later they bought out this app which had no support for my sensor. Was told by Jet Black that they had no plans to support older products. The sensor was and is still commercially available. Obvious strategy to encourage people to purchase their new trainer. Will never buy another Jet Black product.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-03-29, version 1.4.4*

I received a notice that I needed a firmware update but the app won’t let me log in. Tried to set up a new password and still didn’t le me login. Deleted the app, reinstalled, still gives me a notice that login failed. Basically the app is useless.

### 1/5 — Where are all the features?

*2025-03-17, version 1.4.4*

The website says this app has a lot of features that just don’t appear to be in this app. The screenshots all look completely different and I can’t find the 20 trainer sessions this app claims to have. Very disappointed. This app just appears to be setup for the trainer, nothing more.

### 1/5 — App not connecting to trainer

*2025-03-06, version 1.4.4*

Being trying to connect for some time now.

### 3/5 — Needs to work with smaller screens

*2025-02-05, version 1.4.4*

I understand my iPhone SE is old. I keep it as an extra device and it would be great to keep on the bike for use cases such as this app. The app isn’t usable however, due to the select workout button being off screen. 

I think fixing that issue would not be a major undertaking, but if it is then the hardware requirement should be changed.

### 1/5 — App isn’t talking to trainer

*2025-01-27, version 1.4.4*

Resistance doesn’t change. App doesn’t record distance or anything but my Garmin does so I don’t think it is the trainer that’s the problem. No workouts on the app. Just useless on all levels

### 1/5 — App needs major upgrade.

*2024-12-25, version 1.4.3*

App needs more training features than resistance and erg mode which one has to manually set. Let us create a custom workout at least.

New and Improved Firmware
----------------------------
We've improved the firmware upgrade process as well as the firmware itself. The latest firmware fixes a number of issues and includes some new features:
•     Dual Bluetooth connection
•     ANT+ spin down
•     Bluetooth 10Hz reporting


Dual Bluetooth Connection
--------------------------- 
For some users who like to connect with two training Apps while riding, this is now possible with our new dual Bluetooth (BLE) protocol. For example, using Trainer Road for ERG workouts while being connected with Zwift, Rouvy, MyWhoosh or Fulgaz for distraction. The App that connects first to the trainer controls the resistance. Life just got easier!!


ANT+ Spin Down Calibration 
----------------------------
Manual spin down in 3rd-party apps now supports ANT+ connections


Bluetooth 10Hz Reporting 
--------------------------
When connected by Bluetooth (BLE)  and cycling in simulation the power is updated 10 times per second instead of once per second. This means the avatar will respond faster to your changes in power improving the riding experience. Power in ERG mode remains once per second for nice smooth reporting and ease of use.


Bug Fixes
----------
We've fixed a number of critical bugs to help improve the stability of the app.
