### 3/5 — Close in Being Perfect for V3 GPS units

*2026-08-27, version 7.0.0*

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.

### 2/5 — Treinos personalizado

*2026-08-19*

Eu entendi que esse app eu poderia montar meus tempos de corrida mas dá um erro quando seleciono esse opção, isso é um bug ???

### 3/5 — Won’t sync with Google health

*2026-08-01, version 6.89.0*

I’ve been using Wahoo for years. I love the app. I love the products. It’s only a three star for now because it does not sync with my main health tracker, which is Google Health a.k.a. Fitbit. It still seems like it’s trying to work with the old Fitbit system, but since Fitbit became Google Health, the Wahoo trading app doesn’t want to sync my data after workouts on the treadmill or indoor bike. This needs to be addressed immediately and once is fixed, I will update my review to five stars.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-08-01, version 6.89.0*

The paise alerts and auto-pause workouts options don’t work, and sometimes my garmin devices won’t connect. It’s an ok app, but not good enough to recommend

### 2/5 — Where did the Cadence metric go?

*2026-07-26, version 6.88.0*

After 2 or 3 years of using this app for road cycling, Cadence is no longer a metric that displays. My Wahoo Cadence Meter is connected. How do I get it to display again? I see the average cadence in my final results.

### 4/5 — Very Good, Missing A Few Details

*2026-07-17, version 6.88.0*

Very smart interface, displays everything I need on my Kickr Run treadmill. Unfortunately I can’t autolap by kilometer, however. Seems like that should be an easy fix, or better yet, allow autolap at fractional distances.

### 3/5 — When It Works

*2026-07-05, version 6.87.1*

When it works it is great;  how ever, I am on my second bike and third set of handle bars.  The controls keep going bad.  I have had the kicker bike for a year and a half.  To wahoo’s credit they replaced the bike or the bars under warranty

### 2/5 — Sync not working

*2026-06-26, version 6.86.1*

Since move over to Wahoo app & Roam 3 I’ve Lost so many rides. Only way being emailing customer service. Worst some of them are for races and Lost forever. Always told it’s either Bluetooth ir WiFi. Truth is there is some issue in the app as once arriving home Roam turns off it marks activity as loaded but in reality it is not. App only allows to do it once and having to stress post ride to refresh it many times is just not why we spend so much money for track activity tracking services & supporting apps. Pretty disappointed as year on this still very much seems a common problem

### 4/5 — Too many screens

*2026-06-16, version 6.86.1*

Many people don’t monitor heart rate. Make a screen with speed/ave speed, power/ave power, time and distance. That is all majority people need.

### 5/5 — Army Veteran

*2026-06-14, version 6.85.0*

Excellent workout/ training system.

### 3/5 — Missed my whole indoor training ride.

*2026-06-02, version 6.84.1*

One hour climb ride and at the end when I tap save it records 40 seconds. Missed my whole ride. This is the second time.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-05-26, version 6.84.1*

Not mentioning any names but so much better than what I was using before. The history page is informative and well designed. The live view that displays real time parameters is comprehensive, customisable and very easy to read for someone like me who needs reading glasses but doesn’t want to wear them while cycling, for obvious reasons. Fantastic app.

### 5/5 — Very pleased with this app

*2026-05-26, version 6.84.1*

### 1/5 — Rarely works

*2026-08-27, version 7.0.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Go with a Different App

*2026-08-24, version 6.90.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Poor resistance upkeep

*2026-08-23, version 6.90.0*

It is very difficult to update the app and maintain a consistent use of the resistance features. Most times when updates are needed, resistance is completely loss.

### 1/5 — Customer Service is terrible

*2026-08-03, version 6.89.0*

They make a great product but wow their customer service is awful.  It’s fine as long as you don’t have a problem.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-07-28, version 6.88.0*

For so many times already I’ve had the heart rate monitor on perfectly working, but he never lets me start the actual workout and record process so annoying

### 1/5 — Missing Key Features

*2026-07-07, version 6.87.1*

Does not auto-calculate FTP or heart rate zones like Garmin or Apple. Required to input your FTP or THR.  

Does not import data (ie. Weight) from Apple Health, the Elemnt App did.

Very poorly optimized, my phone noticeably warms up just opening it. Auto-sharing to Apple Health is inconsistent and manually doing it frequently creates duplicates.

No virtual Elemnt screen when organizing fields, instead it’s just a list. Huge miss.

### 1/5 — Sub Par

*2026-06-28, version 6.86.1*

This app is annoyingly sub par. I’ve had Wahoo for a long time now, and looked forward to using the new Bolt. Once I set it up, which seemed to take way too long compared to the Element App, this one has been not as good. The Element App was more intuitive, easier to set up, and the computers allowed you to turn off segments on the fly. This one, you can’t, and when you close the app you get an ANNOYING POP UP each time telling you to leave the app running. Why would I leave it running when I’m not even using my computer? It’s cheap, it’s annoying, and I’m seriously considering going to Garmin because of it.

### 1/5 — Issues using trainer

*2026-05-21, version 6.84.1*

Can’t use the trainer doesn’t let me start my work out

### 1/5 — Out of date

*2026-05-15, version 6.83.0*

App has not been updated to work with apple OS26. It cannot connect to the Tracker device. It no longer connects with phone GPS, ie, does not tell you how far you have cycled.

### 1/5 — Lagging and Suboptimal

*2026-05-15, version 6.83.0*

Who knew it takes longer to get the wahoo running than actually just riding outside. Sitting with a black screen on my bike not riding for 30 min….. not exactly what you pay hundreds of dollars for is it.

### 5/5 — New user

### 5/5 — Super rad🤘🏽

*2026-08-14, version 6.90.0*

Works as it should, that’s a rare thing in this day and age 🤘🏽 🚴

### 5/5 — Go-to comprehensive Application for sports

*2026-08-10, version 6.89.0*

I’ve been using the Wahoo app for several years now and use other things like Cateye cyclometer as a backup but Wahoo is my primary. I’ve pretty much switched everything over to Wahoo (hardware and software) and just bought an element bolt three and a radar (which I haven’t tried yet). I swear by Wahoo and highly recommend their products to any athlete of any age.

### 5/5 — Super kompatibel und präzise

*2026-08-01*

Ich benutze die Wahoo App zusammen mit einem Pulsgurt für die Brust und einem Kadenz Sensor für mein Fahrrad.
Beides findet schnell und unkompliziert. Die App verbindet sich automatisch damit. Die Fitnessanzeige als Tachometer ist hervorragend und viel besser als das Apple eigene System.
Die Sensoren von günstigen Fremdherstellern sind sehr präzise und auf verblüffende Art und Weise kompatibel mit dieser App.
Alles in allem besser als meine Geräte von Apple und Garmin.

### 5/5 — Assault Fitness Bluetooth

*2026-07-23, version 6.88.0*

This app solved a first world problem of collecting my assault bike workouts and analyzing all of the data from the console. Keep up the great work and thank you for making a capable free version!

### 5/5 — Wahoo

*2026-07-22, version 6.88.0*

Awesome app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-08, version 6.87.1*

Growing up (I’m 56) I thought a stopwatch was amazing. This app is incredible.
