COBI for Android
Great app, love it:-)
This app is awesome!
Keeps location always on even in background. Update fixed
Still a lot of improvements possible in the route planning (it isn't possible to create a circular route or set way points), but it is good at finding cycle paths and quiet routes. It also updates rapidly when you decide not to use the planned route.
Decent app. Though there seems to be an inconsistency with which way the dashboard wants to sit. Biggest issue is the tail light. There is zero instruction on how to connect it or any prompts to try to connect to it. The app only states in the help section it "communicates wirelessly"..... Okay, so how do we get it to do that?
Cobi is an awesome looking light and do-it-all system - but the only thing it doesn't do (at least I can't find anywhere) is record your ride session once you're finished! Are we supposed to integrate STRAVA?? I figured cobi would have a built in stats page of all your rides, top speeds, calories burned etc. Either way, after you get past the initial confusion, it's pretty easy to navigate the controls of the app and light. The thumb controller looks so awesome on my handlebars when it's lit up!
Useless! The "dashboard" is upside down! No way to rotate it is provided, you're just stuck with it. Pretty hard to recommend an app you can't use... Even worse when it's attached to a $250 bit of hardware.
the battery consumption is very high when using, location search is used even when no cobi connected,cannot be disabled either if not used, need to Uninstall to get back control of the phone data And battery use. also seems to do some weird things with other Bluetooth connected items like my pebble watch and Bluetooth headset. therefore unfortunately not to be recommended, a good idea poorly transferred in hardware and software, what a pity
The software is getting better. The route planning is still terrible. Wants to always put me on 35+ MPH, heavily traveled roads. Won't let you drag route to different roads like Google maps, so is useless to me. Does look nice. The phone charging finally works OK. The battery only lasts about 1.5 hours while charging the phone, which is not nearly enough.
Great idea, crap execution. Went for a ride yesterday and now the arrows on the thumb controller don't work. I didn't do anything except apply the new update (which as far as I can tell, doesn't do anything) . Taillight still doesn't connect to the hub and the speedometer keeps going wonky, but yeah other than all that, I guess it's cool.
Oops! That didn't work. Please try again.
The rear light isn't showing up in the app and there is no info on how to fix this.

Pretty good app. Customer support is great too. Would like to see a dark theme and a place for some app shortcuts. Android wear support as heart rate monitor would be cool too.
