Magene gps ...

Never work .. lose all data

Worst Product Ever!!!

I’ve had these pedals for 6 months and they never work. I went to a bike shop to have them installed, followed the instructions, and get absolutely nothing. Save your money and buy any other option!!!

Useless

App forces you to register just to get in. Then needs you to do email, allow location info, and enter another one-time-pin to activate your device.

Power Meter Calibration

Haven’t had any issues connecting and calibrating my p515 power meter

Misleading reviews

The app is essential for setup don’t do what I did and see the reviews and think it’s not nessacery to use because it is and it works outside of China.

Disaster zone

Do not buy anything magene

P515 utility

No issues setting up and updating firmware on my PES P515

Use it for L508 light/Radar

No issue at all. Updated firmware and changing options using the app

Data scraper

This app exists only to scrape data from the user - it serves no practical purpose and has no value for users

requires email to use

this app doesn’t do much
more than connect to device (H64) in my case and give reading

but it needs an email account - why, what would be the point?

not going to use it and would only use with my 190 bike and M8 elliptical - works with them but not jrny app so don’t buy it for that

Only One Connection

This will only work if the machine isn’t connected to anything else via Bluetooth. For a smart trainer, it seems pretty dumb, despite the price but ensure that you are not connected to Zwift or any other app when actively searching for the machine on the app. The spindown is also available on Zwift, which was about 2 seconds longer, so there are similarities in the accuracy. Once you’ve done it the first time, I’d probably forget this app and just use the Zwift version of the spindown.

Use the Wahoo app instead

It’s not clear to me what use this app is. It connects to the Magene sensor and shows the instantaneous data, but there’s no indication it has any functionality as far as updating the firmware. I recommend you skip this app (and the dubious Chinese company), and just use something like the Wahoo app to record your speed/cadence for workouts.

Of note: all links to their privacy policy page come up blank for me.

Radar function removed.

No app radar display after v1.6 (so i have to buy bike computer)
No light mode control after v1.6.

L508 radar light function lost after update

My 508 cannot use radar from phone and a lot of light functions lost after update v1.6.0

V1.6.0 bad

At V1.6.0 why remove v1.5.1 function of L508?

Attempt to update bricked L508 radar

An attempt to update my new L508 radar gave me an error and made the device unusable. Connecting it via USB-C to a computer seemed to fix the problem, but I will not be using the app again

Crashes when updating L508

Doesn’t allow a firmware update to take place. Crashed when clicking update.

Not able to Update Firmwear

For a company this size this is an embarasment this should have been fixed in a week.

Useless. Can’t update the firmware.

Cannot use the radar tail light with the iPhone as the once the update firmware notification pops up all the app functions are locked out

Can't update

Unable to update L508 radar tail light firmware. There's always a "network error".
