## What is Tech?

Packed with a variety of useful features, the App lets you easily register your Tech-Air® 5 Airbag System and monitor its status and battery life, as well as tracking the details of your ride. The App uses Bluetooth Connectivity to access the System’s data.  Using the MyRide feature, riders can record location and speed continuously during a ride.  Relive your ride and visualize your average and top speeds at any point along the route by zooming in on the map.  MyRide gives motorcyclists the ability to record unlimited motorcycle rides and build up a complete library of individual trips, so you can easily retrace your trips and remember the great riding moments. 
How it Works
•   See top stats for the ride – including the exact location where these results were achieved, average speed, trip time and distance covered.
•   Retrace each trip on an enhanced Google Map that shows your speed at any point you select along the trip.
•   Build up an awesome library of each ride you take on your bike.
•   Disable the Tech-Air® System when you’re going to start doing heavy off-road riding.
•   Verify the deployment of the Tech-Air® System after an accident.
•   Send feedback to the Alpinestars Tech-Air® development team.
•   Update the System’s firmware whenever available.
•   Download the online manual and useful documentation for air travel, shipments, and servicing.
•   Register your products.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support two different systems

*2026-08-23, version 2.4.3*

My son and I both have Tech Air Plasma 5 systems. He doesn’t have a smartphone so I paired both mine and his to my app on my phone. However, the app only lets me connect one system; when I try to connect the second system, the app gets hung and doesn’t move past the “connecting” screen, regardless of how long I give it. I have to force close the app and restart it, only for the issue to recur. It doesn’t matter which one I pair first, the second one is out of luck. How has this not been addressed? I can’t be the first person to have this issue

### 5/5 — Why is everyone one staring this?

*2026-07-26, version 2.4.3*

As mentioned in other reviews the app works flawlessly, after downloading for a minute or two and entering some info I set up my vest in less than a minute!

### 1/5 — Plasma 5

*2026-05-18, version 2.4.2*

Software will not update through the APP… at $800 it’s a total fail!

### 1/5 — Always disconnects

*2026-05-13, version 2.4.2*

Great bit of kit but the app is utter rubbish and constantly disconnects!!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-05-07, version 2.4.2*

Will not reliably connect, managed to access and register my vest, but 99% of the time will not log me in. Tried everything, does not work

### 1/5 — アップデートしても不具合だらけ

*2026-05-02, version 2.4.2*

もともと繋がらないアプリがユーザー登録の不具合で起動すらしなくなった。
最新バージョンで対策済みとなっているのに。
10万円のエアバッグのアプリにしては余りにお粗末。
他のメーカーの商品を全力でお勧めします。
絶対に買うべきではないです。

### 1/5 — Dumb app

*2026-04-23, version 2.4.2*

I bought my buddys tech 7 vest from him and tried to register it to the app but no luck.

### 3/5 — working as expected

*2026-04-21, version 2.4.2*

dear developers, pls fix the software update message… whenever I am not connected it says “software available” but when I connect my vest it says “Software up to date” … would be nice to cache (store) the latest sw update on my vest in the app so it can clearly tell: “Your vest sw is outaded, new version available”… 

also max speed in the ride log would be cool to see too ;) 

if you fix it, I will give u 5 stars :)

otherwise the app works nice, good job there

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2026-04-12, version 2.4.1*

This App is a huge Disappointment from A*. You cannot turn off on the vest. You cannot change the mode. It does not show amy nice data lile a lean angle. It only shows system connested or disconnected. Basically total S… App. It is not even clear if the vest is armed or not. Confusing. It does not record the rides automatically nor does not offer to enable sich feature. The only way to arm the vest is this stupid zipper switch that enoys me when dressing up. And when heaving a break the west goes all the time unwanted on. I am so annoyed by the product. I wish i could have returned it now.

### 1/5 — 機能しなくなった

*2026-04-10, version 2.4.1*

アプリを起動するたびにユーザー登録しなければならなくなった。
国をusで登録したら事象は起きないので、特定の国を選択した場合の不具合のよう。
更に登録していたtech-air10とtech-air7が表示されなくなり、新たに登録しようとしても登録済みと出て登録できない。
リリース前のテストがあまりにもお粗末。
開発会社を変更した方がいい。
