Use to be ur biggest app fan,
Excellent App - study how to use
Another update after two months of steady use. Now that I have been using this app for over 2 months three to four times per week I can honestly say that this app is great! I studied the digital manual and started to use all the settings and dialed in exactly what I wanted it to do and it has made my riding very enjoyable. I highly recommend reading the manual to maximize all the well thought out features of this app. Thanks Cobi team!
I have been actively using the app for 2 weeks and I have to say it has been very helpful in keeping me informed on battery life, rate of speed and distance on a large easy readout on my phone while being held on the clip and connected to the included phone charger. I also appreciate how it connects to Strava App to keep a history of my rides. Now I’m going to try out connecting to Komoot app as well.
I particularly like how I can keep my phone charged so I can play my music the entire way and use navigation without draining my phone battery on 30 mile trips. Next I want to start playing around with the mapping feature and see how that works. Have not figured out how to turn off the voice which can be annoying when I’m switching riding modes two or three times on hills, no obvious turn off mode. Overall I’m happy with the COBI hub and look forward to more updates with improvements.

No Miso,
Infuriating to sign up
Well, I’ve tried signing up twice and twice it failed. When you sign up they send you an email to confirm your email address. Except the email doesn’t come in immediately. Or in 5 min. It too two hours. So when I eventually opened the email to confirm receipt about 3 or 4 hours after I signed up, it told me the link had expired. I did this twice and twice it did the same thing.
I can’t use their 2.5 star rated app if they confirmation email expires too quickly!
UPDATE: since posting my review, customer service reached out to me to help resolve my issue and get me signed up. I appreciate the proactive customer service. (Added 2 stars)

Compass problem
This problem has still not been addressed. Put a line in the software that says “ if this is being used on an Apple phone turn the compass 90 degrees counter clockwise “. Why are you spending time on other things while this is still not fixed? Solve the problem.
The compass problem has not been fixed. My compass is still off by 90 degrees. I have sent notes on how to duplicate the problem. All the things I have been asked to try I have tried and no luck. There is a software bug that needs to be found and fixed. I’m going to repeat here in case someone new is listening: I turn on COBI. Compass direction is correct. I walk the bike in different directions-compass is correct. I walk the bike up a hill. I jump on without touching the pedals. As I hit approximately 10 mph the compass slowly goes off by 90 degrees. At first I thought it was engaging the pedals. That is why I took it up a hill. The compass is off for the entire ride. Nothing helps to get it back to the correct direction. My friends bike has the same problem . I have an iPhone 8, he has a 12.

Solliex,
This App issues that need to be addressed
Are use this app every day and it has some issues that need to be addressed and fixed. With the use of the Apple Watch the app is supposed to start a work out and record it on your phone automatically it did this for me almost always and abruptly stopped on April 6, 2020. I like to be able to see my map on my phone which this had provided I have to disable the heartbeat part of the Apple Watch and just do regular Apple Watch bicycle workouts to get a map of my ride. Also the compass is almost always 90° out of being accurate. Also I am having trouble maintaining 10 contacts and I cannot longer add more than five, and when I do try to add someone nothing happens. Also the contact list changes magically from five of the 10 I used to have displaying different ones each day. Otherwise I love all the features of the app in the amount of information It offers about my ride. I wish someone would please fix the rest of these issues
JackGraham777,
Pretty crappy
I have to use this app because it came with my Haibike, but I hate it. The navigation text/arrows are too small to read at speed, the battery power icon is even smaller, the boost level only shows for 1 sec when you change it, then disappears.
Most of the functions are useless to me and only minimally configurable. I ended up only using the speedometer. Worst, it forced an update in the middle of the desert when I was already low on battery for bike and phone and had poor reception, leaving me stranded miles from my car. I got the bike at a big discount because of the bad first reviews, mostly about the software. I thought “how bad could it be?” Now I know. I’ve had the bike for 2 years and the software hasn’t improved much if at all. Seriously might sell the bike because if it. If I had any other choice of bike app I would have ditched this long ago.

Agree to warning on every ride??
I have a few wishlist items for my cobi and this app (e.g. google maps routing, longer accelerometer based turn signals, flashing headlight and tail light, etc), but for the most part, this thing is amazing with nothing out there quite like it.
The latest app update brings a warning screen that must be dismissed on EVERY SINGLE RIDE. Super annoying. Can we have this remember that I acknowledged the warning already and not force me to tap it before every ride?

Chillybuddybob,
Bosch should be humiliated
To think that Bosch could make, and Trek could integrate and mass market, such a horrible app is mind boggling. I have an app for a $200 crowdfunded weather station that works flawlessly in all kinds of connectivity situations with complex data. The bike is $7k, and I would bet that at least a grand of that goes to Bosch. If the connectivity with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and internet are not perfect the f—ing will not sync. Hey, teenage developers: the network world isn’t always perfect, it isn’t always like in the lab. You need to sync data across a broad spectrum of edge cases. Absolutely shameful software dev for 2020+. Any developer who worked for me and did this piece of garbage would get fired.
TheGayngler,
Yikes! What a mess!
The UX on this app is impossible to use reliably.
- If I open the app at all it automatically turns on the bike.
- it randomly loses my login information and I have to log in and set everything up all over again. What a pain!
- The syncing doesnt always work as a result of the complete reset everytime I turn the app on.
- The Smartphone Hub plus labor to add it was not cheap and for it not work properly is kind of frustrating.
- Manually accessing a single ride via the app doesnt work. Holly molly!
- The documentation is hard to find or unavilable or inadequate.
- Unable to stop and start rides manually from the app.
Im starting to get upset. Let me stop.... I was really hoping to like this but the experience is nothing short of terrible. It makes me want to return the Smartphone Hub and get something thatll be able to properly keep track of my rides.
I HATE this app and display right now. I’m still open to the fact that maybe I just dont understand how to use it but ummm wow!

Nervous Suffering,
Solid app outside of navigation options.
**Update-
I posted this review months back and Bosch responded with an email saying I should reach out to their support. I did. No response. I followed up, no response again. I followed up one more time and still no response.
I’m removing another additional star for the lack of customer service. Long and short of it, this is a pretty half hearted app for a premium (expensive) system. Highly recommend anything other than the smartphone hub if investing in an e-bike with Bosch components.

The app works great outside of 2 issues. First is the warning screen on connection- would love it if the app remembered my settings. Second issue is the navigation. The available options aren’t great (at least in NYC). Would love Google map routes and turn by turn integration. Hope to see these two updates in future releases.

Total Waste of Time & Money
In spite of negative reviews, I took a chance on this unique item. Unfortunately the negative reviews were correct. Installing was a nightmare,even on my Intiva Bosch bike. I had to remove my headlight just to make it fit. Then, i downloaded app. Creating an account proved impossible because I got in an endless loop of registering and accepting terms and conditions and could go no further. I’m a software developer myself and when an app doesn’t let you create an account, that’s a really bad sign of problems to come. Needless to say, my Cobi is being returned tomorrow.
