EX Android app

[Hinkelstein]

I think, this is interesting enough to start a new post. I'm playing with the EX arkenstone, here are my thougths:

*Does anybody know how to make screenshots on the Arkenstone? I'm an Iphone guy...*

Seams I can lock the varg by phone.

I find "Pro" features:
on main screen: Trails
on main screen: Maps
in Power Mode "Advanced"
In Settings theres a "Racing Mode"

I now start trial of Pro Mode:

after 3 month trial it is 12,90 Euros /month

maps seams a simple navigation, content is from mapbox? to be honest, seams much simpler than google maps.
trails gives me the possibility to upload gpx data. Looks also pretty simple. Pretty sure I'd use my locus maps.

Power mode IS interesting: I can adjust horse power in y axis by rpm on x axis. So I think this is something like an adjustable power curve, but is to be paid.
I can adjust it different for every 5 power modes

Racing Mode in Settings: I can switch it on. Wow. Don't know.

My first thoughts: The only really interesting pro feature seams for me the power mode adjustments. I'm sure there are better apps for street and trail navigation and I didn't understand the racing feature. I didn't find more and the menu of the app is not so deep that I could have probably missed something.

Don't tell anybody I made Fotos from a screen.

Awesome thanks.

Maps looked really nice in demo vids.

Adjustable power curves here they are, finally!

And so here is the price of pro mode, 13€/month. 150€ per year might be lower than your annual fuel cost?
I know, it's not a vital feature so you can pay extra if you wish to have it.
Still despise the concept of SaaS, doesn't matter if it makes sense business wise.

Don't try racing mode, it's just to lock your bike at 60 or 48 hp for 24h for official competition.

Screenshots should work by pressing the power and the volume down buttons simultaneously. On Samsung phones you also must release both buttons within 1-2 seconds.

Now, if only we could tell which RPM we are at in each section of the track...

Oh right, it doesn't display rpm? I guess it was completely useless... before that feature.

Regarding Android screenshots:
You can also record the screen as a video clip.
Swipe down from the top and there should be 'Screen Record' icon. If it's not there, tap the three dots in the upper right corner to find it in settings.

Perhaps RPM is the wrong x-axis as well. Having a throttle percentage X axis would be nice. that way we could customise the power response based on throttle position. For example a nice mellow curve below 70% throttle and then a steeper curve to full throttle.

I agree. Imho rpm doesn't make too much sense since it is proportional to speed on a single speed bike.
