Cateye Cycling™ for Android
Bad cat eye. I have new padrone smart. Always hang. So i must reset. After that hang again. I disappointed
Connects to the Strada Smart and sensor fine, but seems incapable of recording GPS other than the start and end, so useless for Strava. This is an easily fixed app behaviour!
Update after 3 months use of Cateye Padrone Smart + working in mirror mode with the Cateye Cycling App. I am still not happy because of the following deficiencies: 1) Bluetooth connection gets lost almost every 30 min. Sometimes I am lucky and it reconnects again. Same problem as so many other users !! 2) Cateye Cycling app sometimes stops recording during my exercise 3) Phone calls / SMS notification alerts not working properly. Name of sender is not indicated. Alert is shown only after I missed the call already. 4) Notification beep on Cateye Padrone Smart+ is much too weak, cannot be heard during exercise. I used the Cateye Cycling app on different phones (Galaxy S4, S5 and S8), all with same results, update to software did not help either, actually I run with app vers 1.3.2 and firmware 1.1.0.e
Samsung galaxy S8, app does not give gps speed or any readings. As such it sends no data to the computer. Why not make the padrome piggy back off the strava app?
As someone else mentioned, this needs an auto-pause feature with an adjustable threshold time . The feature in the app known as auto-pause needs to be re-named "auto re-connect" as it only reconnects the phone should the blue-tooth connect be dropped.
Being an Japanese product it should be good but it has issues while uploading data to strava..which is irritating and makes people stop using the app and product as well...
Bad no Ant+ support
Everything works for me
Flaky app that seems to constantly drop it's GPS so you end up with straight lines between points etc.. Cannot seem to get a strong GPS signal compared with strava that gets a strong signal within a few seconds and records perfectly. Will no doubt sell the cateye and buy a wahoo or Garmin that don't rely on an app to record the data.
Not a user-friendly app, but seems to get the job done most of the time. I just need it to record accurately and upload data to Strava. I've also had connectivity problems between sensors and app, but last couple rides have been OK. Cateye should invest more in developing this app and in user experience overall.
So far the software will record data from my ride, but it does NOT upload to Strava or Facebook. Strava gets zero ride information except for date and time. While the ride information is on my phone, and that's useful, it's been impossible to transfer that data to any other fitness program. Cateye support for this software in non-existent
Didn't pair to my cadence sensor (BTWIN Smart Speed +) although it paired to the HRM of the same brand. Hence disappointed at its lack of compatibility. The sensor had no problem pairing to Wahoo and Strava. Please get this sorted as the Padrone computer is good.
Friday, Dec 16th updated!! STILL NO fix on these simple updates. Please developers integrate *Auto Stop sequence*, feature + add * smart threshold time, for pausing ride more then 10-20sec over threshold , auto stop / quit ride time = Stop /document ride. *Without manual touching please guys I might haft to get a new speedometer.
Previously my Mio wrist mounted heart rate monitor lost contact every 3 to 5 minutes but with 3.3 release this bug has been fixed.
Can't set alert zone hr. Power meter can't connect by ant+. (my phone have ant+) How many Power meter support BT smart? Can't off GPS mode when use with trainner.
problems in S7 to upload to strava. not accurate velocity and average speed.
unstable, lost bluetooth and gps connection several times just for 3 hours riding.
didnt work well in samsung note 3 neo. specially the altitude....
Perlu perbaikan lagi, aplikasinya belum stabil. Kadang tidak konek dengan Padrone...
Cannot connect with speed and cadence sensor
Don't support ANT+ sensor is suck
Ok easy
I bought a Cateye Strada Smart cycle computer and therefore have to use this app. While not nearly as good as Wahoo Fitness, which I used before, it gets the job done and is fairly easy to use. The core tasks of pairing to Bluetooth Sensors and the cycle computer were pretty straightforward and the system works as intended, tracking my route, speed and cadence and displaying them on the Strada. The function to upload data to Cateye Atlas and to Strava is genuinely useful and very easy to do. I particularly like the fact that you can go for a ride without the app, and the Strada will still log record summary of distance, time and average / max speed and cadence. You can import these trips to the app and upload them in the same way. I have had no problems with the app linking to sensors or the computer on my short rides so far. What really lets the app down is it's dated appearance. The designers have opted to keep the iOS and android apps almost identical, which makes the online instructions easier, but is quite hard to navigate. Particularly, they need to update the interface to material design, redesign the trip screen and use the android back button as normal.
Drops connection at least once per ride. Has stopped recording on more than one occasion.
Working as it should. Although does tend to drop Bluetooth at least once a ride. Bit frustrating but does still carry on recording as far as I can tell...
What is the use of a bike computer app if the screen cannot remain always on? Strava has this issue and they corrected it. Cateye should do the same.
The padrone smart+ computer can't pair or lost candence and speed sensor so often when I'm riding. And I lost my recording. Why the computer lost the sensor so often?
Не соединяется с Bluetooth датчиком скорости и каденса...
First time to use
GPS tracking not working in Sony Xperia Z2.
Was happy with the app and all the bunch of sensors. But noticed some stability issues when communicating with strada computer. Don't want to find the real source of the problem, as there are other apps available. Definitely will come back using the cateye's app after some time. *** are given.
(Samsung Galaxy S6) Needs much more development. Not stable and Bluetooth sync with Padrone occasionally lost and cannot be reestablished. Silly things such as using the phone's camera can crash the app.
No problems with running on S5. Occasional error with speed but no worse than my Garmin GPS which I've used at the same time with comparable results.
Installing and pairing application with phone and Cateye Pardon Smart + goes smoothly. Setting Cateye pardon smart + thru phone is very easy, but problem is that application doesn’t recognize my combo ELAH BT003 Speed & Cadence Bluetooth smart it supposed to work with other bluetooth smart sensors. My ELAH-BT004 Bluetooth Smart Heart Rate Monitor was immediate recognize. All other application such as Wahoo fitness, MyWayFit and Strava recognize booth my sensors. I hope that a new update of this beautiful applications will support and ELAH Bluetooth smart SENSORS.
The app does not seems to work correctly in mirror mode without a speed/cadence sensor. When using the internal GPS on my phone the app will only record active time for a short while, usually 31 seconds or 61 seconds then stops recording activity at all. The timer continues but the distance, speed and active time stops completely. Useless in this mode, however the device does work in sensor direct mode, i.e. without the app running. However, you do not get the gps track recorded doing this and you basically have a wireless bike computer. Not happy!
There is something major wrong with this app. I have a brand new hr12 heart rate monitor and brand new strada smart computer but when I try to pair them I constantly get this message: 'Unfortunately bluetooth share has stopped working' on my samsung s3. Someone at cateye please help.... :(
That many people saying the same thing can't be wrong. Data is dropped constantly. Tried many different sensors and even phones. Same result. Unreliable = unusable = garbage!
I am pairing app with Xiaomi Band S1 it can pairing, But can't active optic HRM. it just paring H symbol on "strada smart" is available but not light on Mi S1 and hr is 0. I try other solution by sync with MiFit app to active continuous HRM , and it work HR show about 5sec and Cateye Cycling™ is out of pair. and can't re-pairing until I unpair form MiFit. It possible to use with Xiaomi Band S1? Thank You

I owned a Strada Smart, and really disappointed with the Apps.. I couldn't connect to Cadence & Speed sensor although the device has paired. Luckily runtastic was abled to connected with all the sensor.
