Ratings and reviews

Shimano ID portal is slow, the required registration information in invasive (why do they require my birthdate for example?) and the password policy is idiotic (it rejected the Google suggested password because it contained special characters!). When I went back later to try again it rejected my registration because the username already existed even though my first attempt at registration had not been completed. Giving up and uninstalling.

I like this a lot. I use it with my Orbea Rise EMTB which just has a dongle (Junction box A) and no display. This app allows me to use my phone as the display. You get speed and cadence displayed in real time. The battery charge and range are displayed. The assist level is shown. It even has a map and can do navigation. Best of all if you record your ride you can get the app to automatically post the ride to your Strava account. It all works without hassle. You do need the partner Etube project app installed to access the motor settings. Really surprised that others do not like this. I think the biggest issue is getting the Etube project app up and running before you add this app to it.

I ride an eMTB and use this app every time as I struggle to see the small display on the bike. If I was able to download a decent ordnance survey map it would be perfect, I'd even be happy to pay! As it is I hop between this and OSMaps when exploring off-road using bridle paths and tracks. An option for battery percentage would be helpful rather than the blocks.
