  • Horrible

    I can’t even create an account. Keeps giving an error say I’m not connected to the internet when I’m clearly connected.
  • Too easy to end ride accidentally

    New user here. I find it’s great app, and amazingly accurate. One problem: The “End Ride” button is in a bad spot along on the bottom edge of your screen. On newer iPhones this means you have to touch the end ride button and then swipe up to see the home screen. It’s way too easy to accidentally end your ride at a water stop part way through (especially if you’re in sunlight). Can you move the end/resume controls to somewhere else?

    Hi Amindy, thanks for the feedback and we’re glad to hear you’re finding that the app is accurate. We will look into how we can improve the design of the active record view.  One solution that could help you now is the auto-pause feature. Once you activate it, you won’t have to pause the app manually each time you stop.  To activate it, go to the Record screen (before starting a ride) and tap on the icon on the top left corner. One of the options in the menu is auto-pause. You can set it once and it will persist for future rides until you choose to turn it off.
  • Can’t link to Strava

    I was able to register my bike, but cannot link app to Strava, tried everything Strava doesn’t accept it.
  • Can't sync with strava

    I like that I can alert friends and family as to the status of my order and all with my helmet but it seems I can't get strava to sync with it :/
  • GPS is horrible.

    On a measured trail that is 14 miles , the Ride app didn’t account for half of it. Back to using Strava stand alone.
  • Password

    No app, no feature is great if I can’t remember my password because I have to follow instructions that aren’t given on how many capital letters, numbers, symbols I HAVE to use to have an acceptable according to the app, password!! None of these hoops I’m told to jump through stops any hacker anywhere on this planet!! Stop this forced nonsense! My new helmet will not be connected because of this stupidity.

  • Disappointed

    Not many features, setting up a ride has been impossible. Set Meeting Location causes app to become unresponsive. Integrates with Strava after I record a ride in app so this is useless to me. I record my rides with my Garmin Edge that then saves to Strava without killing my phone battery as I ride. Felt disappointed, may delete later idk

    Thanks for the feedback, bromandude. And sorry you are feeling disappointed. We’re constantly working on adding new features and improving the current ones. We want to get the ride creation feature is working for you. We’d really appreciate if you can send us a note through www.specialized.com/supportform with any other details or screenshots explaining the issue. Thanks.
  • Something went wrong

    June 20 I’m giving this another star. After contacting the developer thru the App Store I was contacted within a few hours asking for more information. We will see how this turns out but they deserve another star for responding so quickly.

    App was great then an update broke something. Or there’s a server problem.
    Until last update a text notification would be sent for start and finish of ride. Then it stopped and only email went.
    I changed the email to the email address for SMS to phone but that fails. It’s like anything trying to go to a text fails.
    I’ve tried different carriers with no luck.
    Icedot was great. Early ANGi was great.
    Now it doesn’t really help.
    I ride a lot solo and out of my hometown. Please fix the messaging on start,finish, and emergency.

  • Decent start but needs revision

    Wish there was an option for ride start and finish notifications to be sent via text. My wife loves the notifications but doesn’t check her email often enough for them to be relevant. By the time she notices that I’ve started a ride I’ve already put in 50 miles and done. If the notifications were text she would know within minutes.

    Hi there, thanks for the feedback, we’ll definitely look into it. Please let us know if you have any other thoughts and we’re glad you’re finding ANGi and the Ride App useful.
  • Very poor implementation of the safety function

    I agree with the last review - the Ride app is a serious downgrade from ICEdot. I’m not interested in joining the Specialized “community”, I just want my family to find me if I crash. Unfortunately the app doesn’t seem to maintain connection to my phone’s GPS (even while Google Maps and Waze locate me perfectly), so that function is essentially useless.

    I can’t fault the ICEdot owners for wanting to cash out their innovation, but by selling to Specialized they really ended up doing a disservice to the cycling community.
