BRP Connect crashes

[Flamewinger]

Got to try the two new apps Rever and FOBO. FOBO works but looks squished and even though you can see the data, it's not prefect.

Rever, on the other hand, when I open it BRP Connect crashes and as I have the phone on top of the dash so I can work it if necessary and I see the home screen so I can touch BRP Connect and it pops back into the bike's view. Everything else works fine after. Still have to mute the Maps so I can listen to music. I also had a second time where the bike forgot my bluetooth headset and I had to re-pair all over again. Weird.

I send messages to BRP once a week and will try posting reviews n the App Store.

Are you charging BRP for all this 'new release testing' you are doing?? :banghead:

 

[Flamewinger]

I'm not testing, I'm trying to use my new 2018 with the smartphone dash the way it's supposed to, and it's not. Just letting other new owners know the problems and hope more complain so BRP gets it right. Wish I was getting paid!

No, you really ARE testing, even if you don't like to admit it!! :shocked:

If a product doesn't work right first time & every time then the product has been released with insufficient testing & in this case, BRP are relying on the good-will of all you unpaid testers to iron all the bugs out for the second generation buyers!! :banghead: So you really should ask for recompense for all your efforts - the only other mobs I know of that get away with pulling this particular scam are Apple & Microsoft.... :sour:

Then, I guess, we’re all testers as we talk about the problems we’re having with our Spyders. I’m just doing the same thing with the software as I would with any aspect of the bike.

You are right....mostly.

But your cell phone should NOT be considered an "aspect of the bike".

I sure am glad I got my '17 before all of this idiocy started.

All of the basic and necessary features should be self-contained.

I like mine: regardless of it's idiosyncrasies :thumbup:!
