### 4/5 — Presque parfait

*2026-08-07*

Top, geowave très pratique, tout comme les friend group.
Malheureusement cela manque encore de stabilité: régulièrement dans le groupe un personne perdait la communication (en émission, la réception était ok, sur 3 cet événement nous ai arrivé au moins 1x chacun). 
Apres une coupure réseau GSM les reconnections automatique ne fonctionnait pas tout le temps.
Malgré cela, appli prometteuse / indispensable quand il y a plusieurs marques d’intercom dans groupe !
Merci pour le travail effectué !

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2026-07-22*

I have the latest iOS updates and the latest app update. I use a SENA helmet and I use this app to communicate with my friends when I am out riding. Yesterday when I was trying to connect, I had fully charged battery by the way and helmet and it said that the intercom was down however, it was working just fine for all my friends, please fix this!

### 3/5 — Ganz nett

*2026-07-14*

…aber wie soll man das bedienen? Es fehlt halt einfach CarPlay

### 1/5 — Privacy?! Hah!!

*2026-07-11*

Hard pass on this app. Am sure the functionality is great. But…if the product is free, you are the product. 
How about selling the product to us with the helmet i bought and not scrape my data at the same time?!
Will enjoy the helmet without this.

### 3/5 — Teils ausbaufähig

*2026-05-26*

Haben mit drei Motorrädern und verschiedenen Intercoms die App eine Woche ausprobiert. Im Grunde eine gute App die jedoch noch stark verbesserungswürdig ist. Das Verbinden der einzelnen Intercoms funktioniert nur nach mehrmaligen Versuchen. Die Verbindungen reißen öfter ab und verbinden sich nicht mehr selbstständig. Eine automatische Verbindung über Bluetooth, wenn kein Internetempfang funktioniert auch nicht. Oft viele Störgeräusche

### 5/5 — CarPlay ?

*2026-04-29*

Bonjour, envisagez vous une version supportant CarPlay ? J’utilise CarPlay sur la moto et de ne plus avoir à manipuler le téléphone est un vrai confort, l’écran CarPlay est plus lisible, fonctionne avec la commande au guidon ou les gants.

### 2/5 — Immer noch: Na ja.

*2026-04-04*

Die Idee an sich ist prima. Leider hapert es an der technischen Umsetzung. Die Latenz von bis zu 2 Sekunden wäre noch zu verschmerzen. Die plötzlichen Abbrüche der Verbindung, ohne dass diese wieder etabliert wird ist dagegen sehr kontraproduktiv. Die Distanz der Geräte betrug dabei nur maximal 150 m.

### 1/5 — Not effective

*2026-03-14*

We eventually got a test connection going where we could tell the other person was there, but it was so scratchy (over 5G) we decided to abandon the app. Even if we had persevered, it would be impractical to use while riding with the additional background wind noise as well. 

The UI is not intuitive either. 

Giving one star feels generous. 

But at least it’s free! So no harm done.

### 4/5 — Alles super

*2026-02-23*

Es funktioniert super aber bitte langsam mal auf Deutsch stellen warten alle schon seid einem Jahr. Jetzt mit ki sollte das doch super schnell programmiert sein danke.

### 3/5 — CarPlay!

*2026-02-23*

Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass es nicht damit getan ist, die App einmal zu starten, sondern man dann doch unterwegs immer mal wieder neu verbinden muss etc. Wäre es super, gäbe es die App endlich mal für CarPlay! Außerdem kann die Verbindung gerne stabiler werden…
