### 3/5 — Just downloaded latest update …

*2023-10-31*

I just downloaded the latest up date on 10/30/2023 and I can’t see the data in the app. Not sure if the color of the data text is the same color as the background color or really not being displayed….

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-04-03*

Not sure what the issue with this app is but it records about 10% of the time...maybe. I don’t use it anymore.

### 3/5 — Finally, 64 bit

*2017-09-21*

Well, they finally updated the app to 64 bits. There is nothing fancy about the app. I have a Newton and it works fine with that. Most of the time these days I record my power data on my Garmin and just use this as a back up.

### 1/5 — Not updated since 2013!

*2016-11-30*

This app needs a major update. It needs to be made compatible with the latest iOS and newest iPhones. Now that a new powerpod has been released that is a most.

### 5/5 — Does what it says!

*2013-08-03*

I like this product.  I love seeing power charted on Google Earth.  This is a must for any Newton owner.  Great job iBike!

I like my Newton even more now.
