The iSelect app guides you through the process of connecting your NordicTrack iSelect Dumbbells to wifi to work with Amazon Alexa. Once connected, you can use voice control to change your dumbbells’ weight with an Alexa-enabled device. You can also sign in or create an iFIT account to activate iSelect’s iFIT capabilities and workout alongside your favorite iFIT trainers.
Do Not Use until developer fixes app!
It will brick your dumbbells. Easy to use and set up but after it does the automatic firmware updates it will jam up your dumbbell controller and you have to find and follow online guides to unsync your phone then do a factory reset on the dumbbells; at which point they’ll work fine again just no online connection. There are so many posts online about it that I can’t believe they still advertise the “smart” function of the dumbbells and advocate this app.
Just like everyone else it doesn’t work
No voice control but luckily it is easy to change dumbbell weight without app. Not as advertised.
Terrible App
I naively used this app in an attempt to connect my NordicTrack dumbbells to iFit and Alexa. This app forced an update to the dumbbell firmware which rendered it useless. The only way I could get the dumbbells functional again was by doing a full reset. The dumbbells then worked fine until I used this app to try and connect them up again. Big mistake. I had to once again reset the dumbbells and will use them manually. It’s a big waste considering I bought these for the automation.
This app breaks the dumbells
It’s been almost a year since this was last updated. When are you planning on actually fixing this? I’ve had a replacement base sent from the manufacturer when they couldn’t troubleshoot the problem…. Same issue. Clearly this app is the problem. Do not use unless you want to brick your weights.
Firmware update bricks device
Do not use. I’ve now tried two of these sets and had the same issue with both. Works fine until you use this app.
Faulty update
I had to return my dumbbells because of the buggy firmware update that was forced using this app. On the dumbbells the screen freezes/glitches all the the time, the incorrect weights are always selected and you have to unplug and plug just to have some functionality. Many reviews on Amazon explain this and there’s even videos demonstrating it.
bricked my $400 dumbbells!
After connecting in ISelect, the app installed a firmware update. Now I can’t connect to the dumbbells. Worse, I can’t change the weight manually either! Stay away!
We’ve included a number of backend app updates and fixes that will result in a better user experience.
