### 3/5 — Good app needs some improvement

*2026-08-29, version 2.6.89*

The app works very well but it won’t load achievements and occasionally won’t load the leader board. One thing I’d like to see added is something to tell me when it’s time to do a cell balance on the battery. I’ve recently discovered an issue with the watch companion app. It will occasionally stop working and the only way to get it working agin is to remove the app from the watch and reinstall it.

### 3/5 — Privacy and Notification is broken

*2026-07-05, version 2.6.89*

Getting ads for Onewheel products with no way to op out of it…. It’s annoying that this app needs to ask you to buy more of its products when you already own one. There is a setting for notifications, but tapping on it does nothing.

### 3/5 — Watch App needs fixing

*2026-06-24, version 2.6.89*

The app itself is pretty alright, but the Apple Watch companion app constantly loses connection, and the data like speedometer and ride distance freeze and don’t change.

### 3/5 — Antic bike

*2026-06-03, version 2.6.89*

Guys I hate giving you the 3 star for the app because I love my new antic bike. But the quality of the app is so, so bad. I can’t connect or control my bike from it anymore, it thinks I have a one wheel. The ui is so bad. I know you guys didn’t focus on it or have it to a dev shop overseas. But this app is not what you would expect from a company based in California. Please do something. It simply doesn’t work

### 2/5 — Why does it need location always?

*2026-05-31, version 2.6.89*

I would give this app five stars, but it has not fixed the incessant location access request pop-up, and I don’t think that Onewheel deserves my location. Please fix the app so that it can use my location when the app is open.

### 2/5 — To many vids

*2026-03-18, version 2.6.87*

They have to give an option to skip the videos its frustrating being forced to watch everything

### 2/5 — Can’t skip tutorials?

*2026-03-07, version 2.6.87*

I got a new phone and it’s making me re-watch the unnecessarily long introduction to OneWheels. I just wanna log in and start using the app again 😭

### 4/5 — Simple

*2026-01-15, version 2.6.81*

I haven’t had any issues with the app but I’m only 1 week in.  I do have over 100 miles.  

The customization is great, for me I ride mostly in 

Highline but with brake aggressiveness all the way up want to make sure I can emergency brake fast works great. 

Apex has torque going up a trail the small bumps it just spins full send in the air sketchy but goes up.

Incline I haven’t messed with but I like the option,  gone up steep hills but highline is fine for me

Flow is more flowy I haven’t road in a city setting but can see flow being chill for areas like the beach or a city like Sacramento, empty college campus 

Roam that’s my battery saver setting want to stretch that battery until you get where to want to ride it’s smooth sailing

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2025-12-27, version 2.6.81*

Please fix your app
I’ve created like 6 accounts just trying to log in on the app, when I finally went to the website to log in there I created a fresh account with my email. But when I put in the email and password to login on the app, I click login, it loads for a second, and nothing happens. Then I clicked on forgot password to try and fix it but then it said my email was invalid even though it had worked on the website. Please help and fix this it’s insufferable.

### 3/5 — Better on Android

*2025-12-17, version 2.6.81*

Fonts are so small they’re hard to read, route tracing has some glitches, always have a strange spike in my routes. Sometimes it lags to load custom shaping. Worked flawlessly on Android, expected better with iOS.

### 1/5 — No longer working after update

*2025-12-11, version 2.6.81*

Trip distance completely inaccurate, watch doesn’t stay connected, headlights not correct with setting, no way to change headlights without stoping anymore! Newest onewheel XL and iPhone 16 pro

### 1/5 — completely dysfunctional

*2025-11-30, version 2.6.81*

what is happening with this app? Stuck in a loop that wants to show me the same video over and over again. Why has this not been fixed? and yes, I've deleted the app and re-downloaded it. Same thing every time.

### 1/5 — App keeps disconnecting after last update

*2025-11-27, version 2.6.81*

App keeps disconnecting since last update. I have to close the app every single time. Same with the Apple watch app. I have iphone 13 and onewheel xr

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2025-11-21, version 2.6.81*

I’ve been using this app for 3-4 weeks so far and it’s never been accurate. Still says 0.0 for my last ride. Bugs to iron out for sure.

### 1/5 — Instead

*2026-07-11, version 2.6.89*

Instead of just turning the function off where it just cuts power to your board at high speeds, their solution is to make you watch 15  videos to warn you if you buy a Onewheel upgraded all to vesk get rid of everything that’s Onewheel essentially on the Onewheel

### 1/5 — A sad, derivative end

*2026-07-04, version 2.6.89*

This app actually started as the best third party Onewheel app, and was purchased and carefully adapted by Future Motion to suck as much as possible.

It also delivers spam notifications, which is in direct violation of app development guidelines.

### 1/5 — I was hospitalised from an accident from this board failure

*2026-06-27, version 2.6.89*

I was going along 35kph and this board just stopped working stopped self levelling which in turn threw me into the road. I require hospitalisation and surgery.  Be very careful with this board. It is dangerous. Onewheel were not helpful. And basically said there was nothing wrong with the board.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-06-07, version 2.6.89*

Oversold like the device under my feet depreciating at an alarming rate

### 1/5 — Insultingly poor

*2026-06-03, version 2.6.89*

Seriously? You waste my time with unskippable videos just to say I need a firmware update, and refuse to display the battery level or allow me to change options with current firmware?! I’ve had this board for years just TELL ME THE BATTERY LEVEL

### 1/5 — Please be more pro-customer

*2026-05-22, version 2.6.89*

We love the product, can’t understand why company doesn’t make more pro customer choices. For example:

Why can’t I lock my board via the app for safety? Or use password?
Why do you force me to keep my location on always? Otherwise error message won’t go away and I can’t see my app while riding. It’s dangerous.

Simple choices like these could make a big difference. Love the product but won’t buy another just because of company attitude

### 1/5 — A sad, derivative end

*2026-04-12, version 2.6.89*

This app actually started as the best third party Onewheel app, and was purchased and carefully adapted by Future Motion to suck as much as possible.

### 1/5 — Privacy

*2026-03-20, version 2.6.87*

App is unusable unless you utilize always on gps tracking which violates my personal privacy.

### 1/5 — Love the board, hate the app

*2026-02-16, version 2.6.85*

It is my board, I like it the way it is, and no I do not want to update the firmware! 
This business practice of forcing consumers to install updates on products that they have purchased needs to stop.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate and Dangerous

*2026-01-19, version 2.6.81*

Not only is the battery information wildly inaccurate, of course the distance remaining is as well. Damn thing dropped dead with 16% remaining and threw me down the road. Thanks for the injury FM. And yes, the device and app were up to date and it’s a brand new board..

### 5/5 — Great App | Great Product

*2026-08-18, version 2.6.89*

I have 3 OW’s. Started with the Pint. Then went to the PintX and loved both. Then wanted speed and same range plus a bit more stability so I went for the GTS. My favorite to this day. I ride it before work, during lunch breaks and after work during twilight. I still have all three OW’s and can’t seem to let any of them go. I probably won’t ever ride the Pint again since I still have the PintX but it still has a place in my heart for introducing me to the FM life! Thanks for making this possible!!

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-05, version 2.6.89*

0 problems I have over 2000 miles on my pint and have not ran into a single problem

### 5/5 — Map needs working on

*2026-04-16, version 2.6.89*

I can use the map to see charging stations or rides might need to look into it

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-03-24, version 2.6.87*

Does what I need it to do.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-02-05, version 2.6.85*

My Onewheel is awesome I love my pint

### 5/5 — One wheel

*2025-10-30, version 2.6.81*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Amazing Just One Feature Missing!

*2025-08-10, version 2.6.81*

I love my one wheel and I love the app. There is just one thing missing when I am riding. It’s hard to use the awesome features for speed and torque head room while riding. A live activity on the Lock Screen that shows these things would be ideal. That way I don’t have to go through the hassle of unlocking my phone to get this data when I am trying to pace my self or climb. Either way love it and can’t wait to keep riding

### 5/5 — Grate app

*2025-08-01, version 2.6.80*

I love Onewheel I think it is my favorite thing I own so fun to ride and I just saved up enough money to get a XR

### 5/5 — im a software developer

*2025-07-26, version 2.6.80*

and i just cant get thruough the oobee.

you PMs should be fired. promote everyone else.

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2025-06-17, version 2.6.79*

This app is super useful, like if you are on a long ride it will notify you if you have a low battery. In all this is a great app
