Review on SHANREN Raptor II Pro Bluetooth Bike Computer: Advanced Bicycle Speedometer with Heart Rate, Speed, and Cadence Display - 18 Functions Included by Andy Mitts

GOOD: I think it's great that I can use the data tracker on the rear wheel of my bike because it's on the fluid trainer and the front wheel doesn't spin. The display on the other machine I used (and pretty much everything there was) couldn't be adjusted further than 60cm from the pickup. It could not be installed on the steering wheel. No work on the fluid trainer. I didn't buy the Raptor for relief or I would have bought the 400lmn model. Seems to be OK. When I ride at night I have a Cygolite with 750 lumens, that's bee's knees. I think if that battery dies I could use the Raptor light as a backup. I also like that it is backlit. The display is easy to read. I use the data tracker every day. I also took a heart rate monitor from Shanren. Once paired, it communicates with the Raptor once both are on (I couldn't figure out how to turn on the HR transmitter - no switch - it turns on as soon as it detects a heartbeat) and displays real-time heart rate readings. . I like the heart rate sensor. I tested it on my smartwatch and the readings are very close. BAD now. The Shanren app is TERRIBLE! FIRING YOUR SOFTWARE DESIGNER! I downloaded it and I CANNOT connect it to Raptor to download it on my Samsung Galaxy S10+. I haven't seen any good software reviews. I don't think it communicates with Strava, Endomondo, or other popular fitness trackers. Come on guys! What good is a fitness tracker if you can't save and view your progress? If it weren't for the completely useless software, I would give this product five stars. Hope that helps.
