### 4/5 — Good app for Magene devices.

*2024-11-20*

Please, add support for control and config of L308  taillight.

### 3/5 — Mieux avant

*2024-09-10*

Le compte à rebours sur la page d’accueil est inutile.
Depuis la dernière mise à jour impossible de voir la fréquence cardiaque affichée sur l’appli…
Appli obligatoire pour voir l’état de la batterie du capteur cardiaque car pas affichée sur garmin

### 1/5 — Magene t110

*2024-04-06*

Не активируется станок. Пишет не возможно использовать в этом месте. И как быть?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with IOS 12 anymore

*2024-01-29*

Everything in the title....
Simply doesn’t open with IOS12 ( iPhone 6)anymore since décembre 2023..
So I can’t use it anymore
Magene support team did not provide me  any solution
Shall I switch to the expense Varia instead ?

### 2/5 — Only One Connection

*2023-12-17, version 1.7.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Use the Wahoo app instead

*2023-10-23*

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.

### 1/5 — Radar function removed.

*2023-08-22*

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

### 1/5 — L508 radar light function lost after update

*2023-08-10*

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

### 1/5 — V1.6.0 bad

*2023-07-09*

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

### 1/5 — Attempt to update bricked L508 radar

*2023-06-12*

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

### 1/5 — Crashes when updating L508

*2023-06-08, version 1.5.1*

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

### 1/5 — Not able to Update Firmwear

*2023-04-18*

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

### 1/5 — Useless.  Can’t update the firmware.

*2023-04-03, version 1.5.1*

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

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Lowest HR alert

*2026-08-17, version 1.9.5*

Please add lower heart rate alert to 80 bbm. This is an untapped market. So many people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome need to be alerted lower. Not only used by athletes.

### 1/5 — complete dung

worst set up process in the business. 🤬🤬🤬

### 1/5 — Magene gps ...

*2026-06-14, version 1.9.5*

*2026-05-30*

### 1/5 — 왜 안도ㅑ애야

*2026-05-30*

### 1/5 — Worst Product Ever!!!

*2026-04-21*

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!!!

### 1/5 — Disaster zone

*2025-09-15, version 1.9.1*

Do not buy anything magene

### 1/5 — Data scraper

*2024-12-21, version 1.9.0*

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

### 1/5 — requires email to use

*2024-11-20*

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

### 1/5 — Это ужасная программа

*2024-08-21*

Не советую устанавливать это ужас

### 5/5 — Power Meter Calibration

*2025-11-24, version 1.9.3*

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

### 5/5 — Misleading reviews

*2025-10-09, version 1.9.1*

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.

### 5/5 — P515 utility

No issues setting up and updating firmware on my PES P515

### 5/5 — Use it for L508 light/Radar

*2025-05-26, version 1.9.0*

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

### 5/5 — Все работает

*2023-08-05*

Все норм! Скачал чтобы настроить радар L508, вошел под учеткой OneLap, нашел радар, настроил. Никаких проблем!

### 5/5 — Magene App

*2022-12-30*

Easy to use no problems

### 5/5 — Great once you figure it out

*2022-12-26, version 1.5.0*

I have a L508 and with the light it said to download the app and “become the magenius wit subscription “. I finally figured out that didn’t mean paying 4.99 it means signing up for their newsletter. 

Once I did that I could control the light and put in custom settings. The app worked well, it recognized the light immediately.

### 5/5 — Avg power 3s

*2022-10-18*

Hi, add avg power 3sec  (magene c406)

### 4/5 — Useless

*2025-12-30*

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.
