What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Poor"
robert Rafetto
"The latest version of this app no longer uploads power or heart rate data to Strava, at least with my phone and bike. This system is long on promise and short on delivery. For instance, to plan a route, I must do it in Komoot, then link and upload to cobi.bike. But even then, if I'm in the fitness screen, navigation goes on pause. It's OK for basics, but lacking in flexibility or customization."
Ken Levin
"I find the interface confusing at times and don't like it when an app tries to protect me by disabling certain features unless I come to a complete stop. The navigation has been frustrating at times, putting me in Germany rather than where I am (in the US), although this hasn't happened in several months. I still appreciate having this app as my bike interface, rather than the simple LCD display on my bike."
Ryan Jorgensen
"Buggy and inconsistent. I would not recommend getting a Bosch powered EBike that utilizes the Smarthub. I've had to delete and reinstall this app a dozen times. It'll work for awhile then some features will break. I would give it 4-5 stars if it worked as intended without the bugs."
Philip Keppeler
"Terrible, pathetic at best,why should you have to use a app to change from km to mph ,hub says it connects but several phones won't, great job bosch!Bosch!"
Clyde Steiner
"I tried using this with the expensive adapter on my new e-Bike. I hated every minute if this app. Easier to settle for the super basic Display in the phone mount. Lesson learned."
Mrs and Mr
"I like the Cobi system a lot. It has revived my trusty Gazelle Cityzen. I would like two see two additions : 1. Possibility to change tune/volume of the electronic bell. 2.Ambisense rear light also to function as breaklight."
stefan nys
"Ist immer im hintergrund aktiv und saugt akku!"
Crimson Friend
"I had a Trek Verve and the computer provided total odometer reading. Now have Trek Allant 8 with Smarthub and Cobi Bike app. It does not seem to provide total odometer reading. It only provides current tour reading of distance traveled. A big disappointment when trying to keep track of mileage for scheduling maintenance. Cobi responded with answer and process to get to settings and Odometer. My ratings are now all 5 star."
david holloway
"It works great on my oneplus 5, however after upgrading to a oneplus 9 Pro, it no longer allows me to select routes. I have reverted back to the oneplus 5 for this application, but lugging around 2 phones when biking is not the most fun thing. I contacted Bosch for the issue, but their customer service didn't come back to me for almost a month, and after asking for more information have been silent for about a week."
