Ratings and reviews

App hasn't worked for at least 6 months. Even after most recent update does not work. Now requires login to do anything and it won't login. Opens web page in chrome browser, enter credentials, says sign in successfull, then goes back to the login screen in the app. Completely unusable now. I will never buy anything from Giant ever again. This bike has been nothing but problems. It tells you something about a company with so many bad reviews and no updates

It's absolute garbage that you can't use this app to just check your battery level for example without a connection to the internet. I ride many places without a signal, and I would still like to check my bikes, battery level from time to time. When I open the app it says my login is expired, even if I was logged in within the last hour! Maybe you guys should let someone who actually rides give some input on your APP design. I seriously can't believe you made it this way.

EVERY single time (yes, I don't ride very often) I connect it forces to update firmware on the bike computer, sometimes twice! And it does not allow to use it until you update! Useless. When I connect I want to ride now, and not wait 10 min every time for updates to finish. I must be able to postpone update. Folks, have you ever heard of backward compatibility? Hire good developers. If you have NBC changes so often, your SW design is garbage.
