Very Good App

This app is quite solid and provides a seamless interface for my Boosted MiniX. If comparing this to the other apps for a non OEM app, including Blast, this app is hands down better in all respects. At times the mileage is off, but it tracks perfectly. If you’re looking to connect an old Boosted Board, look no further than this app.

Appreciate the support! Glad you are enjoying it! Will take a look at the mileage as well and see what I can do. Thanks again and happy riding!

Best Boosted App Yet!

It’s even better than Blast off which is another boosted app. This one accurately tracks speed and miles on the board and doesn’t forget you board after turning it off. GREAT APP!!

Response from developer

Appreciate the kind words! Happy riding!

Not bad

It’s to my understanding that boosted boards is no longer in business. That’s unfortunate because in my eyes, they make the best product out there. I guess it was just bad management or something regardless it’s the best product out there!

Thanks Adam!

Bricked My Rev

Beware, connecting this app put the screen into a weird state then completely broke my Rev’s controller board. Very sad, I loved this scooter and it is impossible to replace now. I feel stupid for breaking it over such a small thing.

Response from developer

Hey Krornge, I am really sorry to hear this. RideBoost only reads BLE data and sends temporary session commands (ride mode + lights). It never writes firmware/bootloader things, so it shouldn’t be able to damage a controller or “brick” a board/Scooter. If you’re open to it, could you share: iOS version, what steps you took right before the issue, and whether any other scooter apps were connected? I’ll investigate immediately. A few safe things to try: 1. Fully power off the scooter, wait 2–3 minutes, then power back on. 2. In iOS Settings → Bluetooth, “Forget” the scooter and re-pair. 3. Verify the display using the official app/manual reset steps for the Rev, then try our app again. Please also feel free to reach out to me on instagram or twitter: @A5omic. Or on Reddit on the boosted board server there are a ton of us there that can help. Again that should not be possible but I’m super sorry and if I can help in anyway please let me know. Thanks, Tom

Great App

Now that the Ride! app has been removed from the iOS store, this serves as a near drop-in replacement. The only feature still missing and one that would be fantastic to have is watch complications to monitor your board’s battery level directly from your watch.
