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

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.

This is a terrible app. Locks you out everytime there is an update. I don't want to update just as I'm about to bike to work, I just want it to work until I have time to update. The controls are poorly labeled and don't seem to always respond consistently. It would be nice to have a dashboard with power mode selection, battery %, % est in modes, mph, distance and maybe the option to add or subtract other info. I know there are multiple screens but they seem poorly thought out.
