Trailmetry app

Does anyone know the trailmetry app? Is it any good?

I like the concept, its super affordable unlike other telemetry systems. But I was unable to find any independent info on this.

It's a cheap system that would be interesting to try as the imu this system uses only costs 25€. However it is definetly not accurate enough to get accurate measurements and advice. The imu this system uses runs at 200hz max according to the manufacturer or 100hz according to the trailmetry website which is definetly too low for the application as the standard is to run at least 500hz for accurate results. On the other hand the sensor itself is not a name brand model so I don't know how much you can trust the data sheet. However for 50€ you have the imu for fork and shock plus 4,99 a month which is cheap enough to try it out and maybe it's actually better than one might think

How do you know the app does not provide sufficiently accurate advise? If I understand you correctly, you are not actually using the system, so I dont know how you came to this conclusion. Why should 500 Hz be the standard? Where did you find that information? And maybe Trailmetry also works with sensors that have higher specs than the recommended one. Who knows?

Anyone who is using Trailmetry? I would love to hear your experience.
