how do I import gpx files? App says: Steps to manually import a GPX file on android app. Android/data/com.meilancycling.mema/files/gpx This folder do not exist and can't be created. Update: v2.2.7 still the same. Update2: select file in app shows what I've wrote above. Open with or share gpx file don't offer meilan app as an option. Any other option to do it? Update3: I've created sdcard folder in internal storage and the whole folder structure, still no change.

Absolute garbage. After installing the app is visible as 'expandable textviewlibrary'. It needs an effing account to spy on me. After downloading a track from the equally clunky Meilan Oval the app complains about a corrupt fit file and the data is lost forever. Utter utter chinese garbage.

Update on my original review which was 1 star. This app is now far more useful than it used to be and it now does not reset time zone when using app. In fact it is FAR easier to add sensors using app now. Data collected and history display is actually quite good now. It is still a little clunky and for some reason, you have to set the altitude before every ride as it is not getting that from GPS data. Annoying but overcomeable?? esp if importing to Strava.

Bought the C5 just for the gym and indoor cycling. Tracks heart rate and GPS really well - but doesn't count calories. It just says at 0. Can't figure out why. Also when you lock your phone it doesn't keep tracking... timer stops. If youve bought a product to go with this app there better options out there... ones that actually work. BecUse this doesn't

Hi using Meilan Oval. the data is not getting download from the device to the app. After 4 - 5 hours of the ride. so horrible and pathetic.

This appears to be a new app. My older app for my Blade M4 worked perfectly two days ago. Now my Blade M4 connects, yet it's being identified by Meilan as both a connected Meilan M4 Blade (stating "connected"), as well as a Meilan Finder (a different type of Meilan device entirely) on the more specific items of my daily rides. I believe something's wrong as I cannot upload my ride (automatic upload?). However the app still links properly to Strava. Post-developer response, now app equals 5.

Bought the Oval M2 and been struggling for days to get the device communicate with the Meilan App installed on my Huawei Android phone. Bluetooth is enabled on the phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app twice with NO luck in getting a Bluetooth connection. However, the Android phone does detect the Oval M2, but Meilan App does NOT. Can't remember when last a device caused me such allot of frustration. dammit

This app is so badly designed. It doesn't connect from my phone, so I had to install it on my tablet. It worked fine for a while but now, when I start it, it says my login timed out and to login again. The problem is that I can't get rid of the pop-up window. I had to install a screen rotation control app to get it working again. Now it's connected... But doesn't retrieve any data. Meilan should fire all their developers and hire ones that know what they are doing.
