Completely useless app. Frequencies are all over the place using the exact same position and finger and strength. Closing and opening the app and changing literally nothing about the bike and you can count on getting wildly different results. I wouldn't rely on this app to tune anything. Also whoever's idea it was to kill the app instantly in the background so you have to find and open it again and watch the dumb video that automatically should never develop another app again.

The new update has an unskippable video that I have to watch every time I use the app.

A bit hit and miss, but in the absence of anything else it's possibly better than nothing. Rarely provides repeatable frequency measurements at the same belt position, but I'm averaging out three or four readings taken at the same belt position, and then rotating the crank to move the belt along a few inches for the next three or four frequency measurements and so on. Overall, averaging the measurements at each point seems to provide a better indication of belt tension.

thought I could save some money ... don't even think about it. Either go to your local bike dealer or get one of the real tools. When I first assembled my bike it seemed to work but now my fingers hurt like crazy but the app gives me - in the rare cases it shows anything - values between 17 and 220. I can just assume that something I assembled later makes some side noise that disables the app from working properly. This guess does not help anything however - it just does not work ...

Didn't work. Downloaded it, tried to use it, but it wouldn't register the frequency. Soundwave bar was moving but hardly ever registered the value. Uninstalled it

About this app

Gates Carbon Drive is the high-tech belt drive for bicycles, motorcycles, & scooters. This app measures belt tension sonically. Just pluck your belt like a guitar string and use the microphone on your phone to read the vibration frequency. Compare your bicycle belt’s frequency to the included chart to see if you need to adjust the tension. For scooter/motorcycle tension recommendations, compare to your vehicle owner’s manual.
