Best Kickstarter project I’ve ever gotten
The device is fantastic, battery life is awesome- one month between occasional rides and sitting in my garage. The features are good- I like the navigation for running errands, and it’s great that I can import my own GPX routes that I design on my PC for when I want to bike around for exercise. But honestly I feel like the alarm gives me the most piece of mind, it’s great if you live in a high theft area like me where even with a heavy U-lock I’m never quite confident my bike won’t disappear. My only complaint is that the alarm / light features rely on the Bluetooth signal- if you‘re in Bluetooth range, the alarm is disabled and the auto light is enabled. Kind of makes sense, but when I’m in a store I want the alarm on, and when I’m at home and my bike’s sitting in the garage I want the auto light off- regardless of whether I’m nearby or. Maybe they can add geofencing for this? In the meantime I found I can force-quit the app as a signal to disconnect the Bluetooth and tell my this app to go into “away mode”. Really excited to see what the this app 2 looks like but unfortunately it’s been pushed back quite a bit. I suppose that’s hat’s to be expected with Kickstarter projects though.

Slick and easy to use
The companion app for the this app is beautiful, intuitive and simple to use, as is the device itself. And once you get put the door, I like the fact that you don’t really need to use the app until you’re done. You can focus on biking and not fiddling with your phone! I highly recommend the this app and the companion app to anyone who gets around town by bike. It’s easy to appreciate the design work that went into the system, making it easy to use and beautiful.

Great so far
I think the this app and the app work great. Navigation is good (alternate routes is a great update), lights work good, fitness works good and alarm is super loud.
