It lets me make changes to ride modes and all that in the app instead of on the dash. But when I use navigation and try to listen to music, it makes my audio sound like AM radio on blown speakers. 25 Z900 ### 4/5 — GREAT CONCEPT, But Needs Improvements. *2026-06-16, version 3.10.9* I think the trip logging is fantastic, however ONLY being able to start and stop the log while fully stopped is ridiculous. It takes one tap to start/stop it. We are in 2026 so surely there is a way to tell the ECU to allow this while the bike is in motion. ZX6R is indeed a track bike after all, correct? KAWASAKI! FIX THIS ASAP! The logging actually gets pretty detailed information, however I’d like to see it record smoother and faster. It’s choppy like a ticking watch, I want it smooth and recording at a HIGHER refresh rate like a Rolex watch. Not a G-Shock. KAWASAKI! FIX THIS ASAP! As for the navigation, I’m still trying to get the QR Code from the dealer. I will update my review on that later. ### 2/5 — Why can’t they fix this app *2026-05-16, version 3.10.6* I have been forced to use this app for 5 years ever since I bought my H2. I use it simply to adjust rider features as it is no good for anything else. I suspect the developers of this app just were not good enough to code something that could possibly do what they wanted. Maybe if the developers hired a beginner coder they would have better luck with this app!!! In simpler terms for the people that actually worked on this app, it SUCKS SO FIX IT if they can. ### 2/5 — App buggy *2026-05-01, version 3.10.6* Right now when I save a maintenance item in Maintenance History it tells me it is saved but then it disappears and one can’t find it anywhere again. Very frustrating to use, ### 1/5 — 2026 Ninja ABS *2026-04-13, version 3.10.4* APP JUNK ### 1/5 — Awful. Just awful. *2026-03-28, version 3.10.3* This app is completely awful. You don’t get to see anything besides a picture and logging a trip. I would’ve loved to see my oil life, odometer, etc. my bike is a 2026 so brand new, no reason I shouldn’t get these features. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-03-15, version 3.10.3* Will not connect at all Bluetooth on phone says it’s connected but it doesn’t connect with z900rs se 2026 model. ### 2/5 — Needs Work *2026-03-03, version 3.10.2* The app keeps using my location after minimizing , which is a privacy and battery drain concern. That and the fact my dealer can’t find a QR code for my 12k dollar motorcycle has really been a let down. Fix the app and I’ll improve my rating!! ### 1/5 — Useless. *2026-02-26, version 3.10.2* The app is completely useless with the navigation side which is locked without a QR code which does not work. Kawasaki cannot supply another code sick of asking them. Needs a completely different system to unlock the navigation. Majority of users are having same issues. ### 1/5 — Maintenance log boo *2026-02-24* I really wanted to like this app if for anything other than to maintain my maintenance records, but it’s so inconsistent on how it saves them. I literally put in the same record five times and it doesn’t pop up that I did the maintenance but the date is there like it saved something but I can’t find the maintenance record I just made. ### 1/5 — who created the app should be fired *2026-02-13, version 3.10.1* Fire the whole team ### 2/5 — Crash *2026-02-12, version 3.10.1* Can’t get this app to work it crashes everytime I open it with no other tabs open on my iPhone 17 pro max ### 1/5 — Crash on startup *2026-02-11, version 3.10.1* As soon as I paired my bike the app crashed. Now it just crashes as soon as it opens up. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-02-04, version 3.10.1* Worst idea ever. Horrible app. Doesn't work, at all. The latest update makes it crash instantly. Dumb ### 1/5 — Don’t need *2026-01-16, version 3.9.3* It’s a pointless app. Doesn’t show mileage or anything ### 1/5 — Pure garbage *2026-01-01, version 3.9.3* This app is basically worthless. It won't save any maintenence logs, it changes the volume and sound (echoing) on my in helmet comms when I open the app. Having to start a ride log manually each time is just silly. Even BMW Motorrad connected app works leaps and bounds better. Both are still lacking when it comes to Navigation. Just give us carplay and android auto ffs. Deleting this app. ### 4/5 — A useful App *2025-12-28, version 3.9.3* Auto-connect Bluetooth by default once devices are paired would be very useful. ### 1/5 — Not compatible with Z900RS *2025-12-25, version 3.9.3* New 2026 Z900RS SE manual states to use this app however it comes up with bike not compatible, please fix this issue. ### 3/5 — I cannot see my maintenance history! *2025-12-19, version 3.9.2* Pleeeeeease fix this bug!!! I need to see what mileage I was at when I did my last maintenance. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not connect *2026-07-14, version 3.10.11* Still does not connect to motorcycle ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-07-11, version 3.10.10* After the most recent update the app simply will not connect to my N7 Hybrid. The phone itself connects just fine and the bike receives notifications, the app however hangs and times out during the pairing process. The app is now useless and I cannot change the language of my TFT as a result. Make the app reliable or open source your tech please. ### 1/5 — Beyond Useless *2026-07-06, version 3.10.10* Straight up does nothing for the klx 230, why the hell did they even add Bluetooth! It doesn’t do anything. Notifications nope, fuel mapping nope, range nope It’s just a scam ### 1/5 — Didn’t spend enough on a brand new 2026 *2026-07-06* This app was sold as being able to connect to your brand new Kawasaki. Buyer beware, that’s not the if you don’t spend enough money. Though they’ll tell you it can connect, you’ll get a prompt telling you your model doesn’t share detailed information such as odometer reading. Thanks Kawasaki, also your manuals need help. ### 1/5 — 2025 ZX-6R KRT *2026-06-18* This app is TERRIBLE. There is an option in this app to record your service history as well as ride logs but there's no cloud storage service for the data. Once the app is updated the maintenance logs and ride history are erased and bluetooth pairing is lost (it must be reconnected to the bike after each update). No bike settings cam be adjusted with this app. Software updates for TFT functions are non-existent (all modern vehicles have remote software updates of some form). There are functions on the newer TFT screens that are NOT able to be reset (e.g. average gas milage, trip ride time, average speed etc) and should be. The software designers apparently passed muster on half a functional display screen. Since it's 2026 you'd think a software update would fix something so simple. ### 1/5 — Complete trash *2026-06-06* Tech is a true challenge to use. So many things needed to set it up fail because the options needed aren’t available. I have to have deleted my rideology app account for 14 days before I can re-install the same bike to properly connect to it or Bluetooth won’t show it again due to deleting it over a bandwidth download size. Neither bike connected. Instructions vague and very limited depending on where you seek them out. What a joke. Cool dream though. App seems more for tracking your actions than to be a help for the user. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-06-05, version 3.10.8* Terrible app for my Z900 2025my, set the destination and it works for a few miles then suddenly it stops working and removes the turn by turn off the screen on the bike, leaving me in the lurch when out riding areas I don’t know…I expected better from a Japanese manufacturer ### 1/5 — Update *2026-05-12, version 3.10.6* App must be modernized ### 1/5 — Contact *2026-05-07, version 3.10.6* How do you contact the developer. This app doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do. I have a 2026 bike and it does not work properly and your instruction guides for it are years out of date. Who do I contact? ### 1/5 — Useless. *2026-04-29, version 3.10.6* App is ok for general use but for navigation it’s completely useless. You have gone way past turn offs before it’s quick enough to display on screen. Glad I didn’t subscribe to Kawasaki for it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 25 z900 *2025-07-12, version 3.7.1* Updated app 7-11-25 omg💙 the Bluetooth strength. It’s so much better now I can keep my phone in my back pocket without disconnecting. navigation is wonderful. Bike is awesome. Now the only two things I would love Kawasaki to do be able to make phone calls with the controls on the handlebars through the screen like BMW S 1000rr and to read text messages on the screen and it will be perfect thank you Kawasaki loving my Z 900 💙💙 ### 5/5 — nice *2025-01-27* nice and easy to use i reccemded to everyone ### 5/5 — Cheap scamming app *2025-01-21, version 3.5.1* I have a 2024 Bruce force and a brand new iPhone. It will not connect. No matter what you do. ### 5/5 — Funciona perfeita *2025-01-02* Instalei e uso frequentemente na minha zx4r. Zero dor de cabeça desde a instalação ao uso. ### 5/5 — App utile e intuitiva *2024-09-30* Applicazione utile per avere dati e informazioni aggiuntive, migliorerei solamente la grafica generale dell’app, svecchiandola un po’ del resto tutto perfetto, connessione con la moto al primo tentativo, veloce e precisa per la posizione. Consigliata ### 5/5 — Good work done by Kawasaki *2024-09-13* 5/5 stars! I'm thoroughly impressed with the RIDEOLOGY app! Its user-friendly interface and seamless connectivity have elevated my riding experience. The app's features have made tracking my routes, monitoring my bike's performance, and staying connected with fellow riders a breeze. As a proud owner of the Kawasaki Ninja 650, I'd love to see the GPS navigation feature, currently available on the Ninja H2 models, integrated into lower models like mine. This would eliminate the need for external GPS devices, making our rides even more convenient and enjoyable. Kudos to the RIDEOLOGY team for creating an exceptional app! I eagerly await future updates and features that will continue to enhance my riding experience. Keep up the fantastic work! ### 5/5 — Funciona muy bien *2024-06-30* Todas las quejas de comentarios anteriores fueron solucionadas. Está en español y otros idiomas. El mapa que marca la ruta es muy preciso. No se cuelga con facilidad (llevo un mes usándola y solo se colgó una vez) Puedes gestionar algunos parámetros de la moto desde la app sin necesidad de estar al lado de la moto. Los datos de la moto se actualizan automáticamente cuando la enciendes y tienes el teléfono contigo, no hay necesidad de encender de abrir la app. La conexión bluetooth que se establece es rápida y estable. ### 5/5 — Works fine for me *2023-08-13* Was worried from past reviews but it’s all working with no error yet on my versys 650 ### 5/5 — Funktioniert einwandfrei *2023-07-23* Hab meine ninja 650 gekoppelt und läuft super alles einsehbar und verständlich ### 5/5 — Simple et Fiable ! *2022-04-12* Application très simple d’utilisation. Fiable car la remontée des infos de la moto se fait toujours sans problèmes (contrairement à certaines applications de voiture qui fonctionnent que 1 fois sur 10 pour la remontée des infos, Peugeot - Citroën suivez mon regard…) Il ne manque que la traduction FR, mais rien de rédhibitoire. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
