Kimosabi Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Noticed that Kingsong finally released the Kingsong - new app. I’m reluctant to download it knowing the last app was bad. Has anyone used the new app and what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonnabiff Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I installed the iOS app on my iPhone. With my new KS16S it pairs easily; have used it to change speed limit to 35kph, change the warning thresholds and play with ring and headlights. It is not entirely logical in operation but does basic functions well as far as I can tell. I do wish the units could be changed from metric to imperial.

Did you have to paste a code to register the wheel? That's the thing that is holding me back from buying a Kingsong. I don't know how to copy and paste on a phone. I can do it on a laptop using Google. I've read that Wheelog and other apps can be used on Android, but it would be nice to have the official app. I'm not very tech savvy with computers and phones. My main concern is, would I be able to set the pedal tilt angle with an app that is not the Kingsong app. Could I calibrate the wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonnabiff Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 There is no wheel registration on the iOS KingSong app. To unlock the speed increase you need to use the number the app tells you (wheel's Bluetooth MAC address or similar techy thingy) on another website and then enter the number that website generates, which I did with manual entry. I don't know how the app will handle firmware updates; my KS16S came with 1.02 and as far as I know that is the latest with no update planned or required. I have not messed with calibrating the wheel because I don't want to screw up something working fine right now. I think from your post that you use Android? Copy and paste is pretty simple with iOS on iPhone or iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonnabiff Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Are you familiar with RTFM? : ) For goodness sake don't feel dumb; if the UI software engineers didn't make it simple and intuitive then they failed. I ignored PCs and waited for a Mac in 1984 because it was the first computer smart enough to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, were you upgrading from the old app or downloading the app as a new user? Just wondering if it saves the unlocked speed setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonnabiff Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The app had been removed from App Store when I received my wheel. So I did not have a prior installation, and do not know if what is currently available and I am using has fixed the flaws of removed app or is a reversion to before the flaws appeared. It was very simple to use the website to provide my unlocking code and then enter it, if you need to do it over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justina wrote that a new firmware was well on the way I think already two months ago. It was said to concentrate on the riding modes. Unfortunately haven’t read about that rumor since.

gonnabiff Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Believe that may have been for KS14S which prematurely rolled down tilt back while still at high charge state. Jason’s post explains in detail. He has told me that the 16S does not have that flaw and he is not aware of any firmware updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I have a 16s and I installed V5 of the kingsong app and I can not pair it with my android phone to play music though the speakers. V4 worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4 worked. For the music function the app is not needed at all..... Normally you just have to pair once in the general bluetooth settings, where you should see "KingsongMusic". Perhaps just unpair/restart/reset bluetooth settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 i no longer have KingsongMusic on my paired list. I use to until i uninstalled V4. Do i need to reinstall V4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryman Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Installed v4 and Kingsongmusic is a choice to pair and it works. Very strange it didn’t work with V5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
