Wahoo > Garmin
I don’t have a Elemnt yet but after the constant issues I’m having with Garmin and the positive reviews all my friends give me, Wahoo is clearly the superior product.
Bugs
I update this app just to see what new and exciting bugs will be wasting my time until the next release. All the new features I don’t ever need, but existing functionality falls apart. At the moment i have to repeatedly turn my kickr ‘on and off again’ to work with the app, that’s an extra hour faffing each week. Used to work flawlessly, now after update, nope. Poor development practices really let this company down. Executive team should be ashamed.

Good tracking and features for free
The free plan is good enough for tracking.
Woah brochacho
As a Colorado endurance brochacho, I downloaded the Wahoo app expecting clean ride data, not a full-on data privacy nightmare. The app seems way too interested in collecting and connecting everything short of my favorite burrito spot, and the privacy controls don’t exactly inspire confidence.
Trying to delete my account was like signing up for Comcast customer service: endless menus, mysterious hoops, and the creeping suspicion that my request had been shipped off to a magical farm where deleted accounts go to live forever. I kept waiting for someone to tell me, “You can’t cancel—your account is part of the system now.”
The fitness features are solid, but I’d rather track my intervals than negotiate with a corporate bureaucracy from a certain Colorado mountain town. Wahoo, please make privacy clearer and account deletion a straightforward button—not an epic quest through increasingly absurd support channels.

Close in Being Perfect for V3 GPS units
Update: App did now add quick access to load routes and workouts on GPS units but still doesn’t allow sharing live link easily which are most frequently used actions by users. 90% there!
Feedback on using V3 GPS units with the app. Too many steps to do the basics when the ELEMNT app had it all there in single screen. Want to load a route, it’s 2 separate steps. Need to share your location? It’s buried in Account Settings, extra 2 steps. The fix is easy. Add routes, planned workouts, share live link under the Device.

Love it!!!
Use it to capture my heart rate during workouts. It sends the results to my Fitness app and Health app. I was using my Apple Watch before, but that was inconsistent. I need to know my heart rate down to the second.
SUBSCRIBED
Awesome feedback! Thank you Wahoo 👊
Spend over $3000 in the bike Bluetooth just will not connect
I have never been more disappointed with a technology purchase in my life. I bought this bike because we have three people whose cycle all with different sizes. Seemed like a great idea. The Bluetooth connectivity on this system is atrocious. It will not connect it will not work. It will not allow me to use the gears or anything. Do not buy.

Another untested (buggy) update
Par for the course. Someday Wahoo will actually ship an app without a hilariously broken front page bug, but I wouldn’t bet on that happening in this decade.
This time health data sharing (which was already only working ~30% of the time) is now fully nonfunctional, happily reporting success at sharing nothing.
Edit: to the support response staff: I’m not interested in being your beta tester.

Garbage
Will not sync with wahoo bolt unless you quit the app, turn Bluetooth, then restart the app. The app is also complete garbage for logging activities; it will stop logging, tell you it is logging, and then delete a huge chunk of the activity. I assume all of these problems go away when you pay for their subscription service but wahoo does not care about supporting hardware.

More lost time
Forced to upgrade, more lost time, more going wrong, more inconvenience just because I want to work out. As soon as the kickercore dies its death this company won’t get another penny out of me.
forces you to give personal information
must create account to use. I downloaded Zones for training after deleting this trash from my phone
Avoid
Takes money for subscription then the app doesn’t work, as if you’ve not paid. Absolute con
I love Wahoo
It works amazing
Rarely works
This new and updated app from Wahoo is rubbish and makes me wish I’d got a Garmin. It fails more than it works. It doesn’t sync the ride from a connected computer. Live tracking frequently doesn’t do anything, or randomly stops working mid ride causing distress to people following it. It doesn’t auto sync to platforms even though it is set up to do exactly that. This app is terrible and needs real investment.

Total collapse after update
The app is generally super cool, but after the latest update I cannot simply use the features I liked the most. Sharing activity does not work anymore: at first the “share”button was just stuck, left in the endless limbo. Then, after a couple of restarts and update it just stopped doing anything. Extracting a .fit file does not work either and reveals a super weird tread of bugs. Share by mail does not work, there is no option to retrieve data neither from cloud nor physical device, such a shame. I have the latest new BOLT 3 and the struggle is real…

건의사항 있습니다
제발 가민 어플에 연동되게 해주세요. 운동정보가 가민커넥트에 자동으로 넘어가면 너무 좋겠습니다. 연동 안되면 다른 어플 써야 하는데 너무 귀찮아요. 제발~~~!!!
Go with a Different App
I’d stay as far away from Wahoo Fitness and their devices. I downloaded the App to pair with the Core KICKR, but regret both downloading it and purchasing the KICKR.
Their own literature indicates that the Bluetooth transceiver is too weak to be effective, so the app doesn’t accurately control the device. In fact, the app will not get the device to function outside of passive mode making it worthless.
