COBI.Bike
authentic ratingThe idea of turning a phone into a smart bike computer on the handlebars is good, and people praise the maps, music, and phone charging on the go. But the execution is raw: the compass is off by 90 degrees for years, the app doesn't work in portrait mode, loses the Bluetooth connection, and splits one ride into several segments. The final blow is Bosch's silent support, which asks you to write to support and then doesn't answer.
The gap between the store average 4.47 and text average 2.31 is large but genuine: people write very specifically about Trek wheels, a compass off by 90 degrees, a 30-mile ride split into 6 segments. The 5-stars are often sarcastic like 'Very Poorly designed app'. Real anger, not fakery.
