yup, looks like no tracking. For stopping the app, I usually just swipe it closed from the task list (does the same as killing it that way) but also make sure you stop the service if it's showing in your notifications.
Happy (and safe) riding!

everytime you check air pressure you run the risk of the valve not seating right causing air loss,

I wish I had installed the tvalve and will at the next tire change. I removed my 1 year old FOBOs to top off the air. I must have cocked the rear one when installing it, because the center thing that depresses the valve broke off, and now no workie. Had to buy a new pair for $115, otherwise I was happy with them.

before you buy a new set, check with support ... they may be able to sell you a single unit

I have the FOBO2 system and absolutely love it. I get warnings through my Garmin GPS. It is great being able to check the pressure every time I get on or off the bike just by glancing at my iPhone. The FOBO2 caps are tiny and light -- you do not need metal valve stems with them. They weigh the same or less than steel valve caps.

I'm looking at using these same exact sensors (BLU internal sensors). Has anyone been using these and can offer any feedback? Any update from @binford6100 ?

I got mine on Amazon. Works great. Bluetooth and has temps and programmable alarms. If my tires get hot or too low pressure (28) it beeps. 60 bucks. Its on my handlebar here but I double sticky taped it to my dash and is out of the way.

I have the FOBO 2 TPMS, amd am very pleased with it. It works via an app on your phone.
Also, make sure you use metal valve stems. And it helps to use a T valve...that way you don’t have to remove the TPMS to add air.
