### 5/5 — Does almost anything!

*2026-08-17, version 2.20*

It may seem a little complicated, but that is because you can almost configure it to connect anything. The developer support is 2nd to none and Roberto will help you set it up exactly as you require.

### 5/5 — This app is great!

*2026-08-11, version 2.20*

I bought an Echelon EX-15 used on Facebook marketplace, and didn’t want to pay for their app. After some research online, I found a few people mentioning this app, and thought it was worth a try. I had some minor trouble setting it up, but it was because all my Bluetooth permissions weren’t enabled. Once I fixed that, I was up and running in no time. The little dashboard is so easy to use and gives me all the details I want. I never write reviews, but am just so happy with this app I wanted to let others know how great it is!

### 5/5 — Excellent app and support

*2026-08-07, version 2.20*

A great app to allow me to use my peloton with other apps such as Mywhoosh. When I struggled to get it to work, the support was instant and got it working straight away. Fantastic work thanks

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2026-07-29, version 2.20*

Brand new burdock track treadmill and it won’t connect…kept connecting to our tv and refusing to connect to anything else.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2026-07-25, version 2.20*

Game changer - enabled automatic incline sync from Zwift to my Horizon treadmill. Super easy to set up - everything connected seamlessly (treadmill + heart rate monitor) & immediately recognised by Zwift. Took 5 minutes to set up compared to about 1 hour trying to connect the treadmill / Zwift without this app.

### 5/5 — Great Customer support

*2026-07-23, version 2.20*

Had issues with the app, wasn’t complicated and got instructions to fix and the app works as advertised.

### 5/5 — Fixed

*2026-07-09, version 2.20*

The developer was great and helped me fix the issue!

### 5/5 — Must have app!

*2026-07-06, version 2.20*

This app is amazing for anyone wanting to get the most out of their fitness equipment! Don’t get me wrong, takes a while to get used to it but once you’ve had a look at what works for you and ensured the tiles you prefer are what’s shown, it’s great! Support is also fab and any issues or questions are dealt with straight away!

### 5/5 — Works extremely well.

*2026-07-01, version 2.20*

Excellent app, excellent support.

### 5/5 — Amazing unblocker!

*2026-06-20, version 2.20*

Very grateful this exists, the settings looked a little complex at first as it covers lots of hardware but it works really well and I didn’t have to actually do that much tinkering to get my set up going great. Roberto also replied to my questions very quickly and is a total gem! Worth every penny
