\"\"<\/a>I just got this as a press release.\u00a0 Have not looked into it yet, so consider this post an FYI.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

iBike Coach App<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The new iBike Coach App (designed to work exclusively with the iBike Dash CC), includes a new user interface, more extensive use of video instruction tutorials, a simpler product setup, easier screen navigation, and one button access to music controls.<\/p>\n

John Hamann, CEO of Velocomp, said, \u201ciBike Coach introduces the core of our next generation app. With sharper and more colorful screens, simpler setup procedures, and fun features, such as music control, we think the iBike Coach will make bicycling more enjoyable for iBike Dash CC owners.\u201d Hamann added, \u201cWe will rapidly introduce even more features to the iBike Coach App, extending its features to our iBike Dash CC Deluxe and iBike Dash + Power models.\u201d<\/p>\n

iBike App and iBike Dash “Always On” Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

The iBike app update that goes live today introduces a new \u201cAlways On\u201d feature, which allows for the continuation of data gathering and recording — even with the iBike App is not running — using the iBike Dash electronics.\u00a0 Then when the iBike App is restarted, the app and electronics talk to each other, figure out where the data gaps are and seamlessly weave the lost data back into the app. Critical cycling information, both on-screen and in the ride file, is always complete and accurate.<\/p>\n

According to Hamann, \u201cCyclists naturally expect that their cycling computer information will always be correct and accurate. And iPhone and iPod touch users naturally expect to have full access to all of their apps, whenever they want. \u00a0With our new \u2018Always On\u2019 technology, both of these critical expectations are met.\u00a0 Implementing the \u2018Always On\u2019 feature requires complex interactions between the app, electronics, and firmware. We are pleased to implement seamless background data recording and recovery technologies in an iOS cycling computer and to provide this important feature to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
