Looks like there is a new PP6 dedicated app too (Thinkrider SET).

I'm still using my PP5 for now alongside a range of PMs on other bikes deemed to be reliable by the masses and still very happy with its accuracy for the usage I give it i.e. I don't tend to sprint in the middle of my rides then go to steady state. I appreciate for some peoples training regimes (if you did something like microbursts) this would be a killer. But there is absolutely no way I would swap it for any single sided PM by anyone.

That Thinkrider news post is from last year, so I doubt it applies to the PP6.
