Does not work

Does not connect to my 2020 SC3 with ecoscrn2. Get power data on console so app clearly is poorly developed

Terrible set up process

A gym equipment app should be stupid simple and intuitive. Get on and do work. By the time you spend 15 minutes waiting for log in registration, you wasted half a work out and the it still doesn’t sync. The UI is not fluid. Bikes are not easily labeled. So if there is more than one you have to try syncing all of them to find one that works. The link and Bluetooth failed repetitively and did not talk. As an it guy. This is a mess. I should plug in data, have a simple sync to the bike and be able to move forward. The Bluetooth HRM options are very slim
And don’t seem to pick up Garmin hrm Watches.

Awful, do not download.

This app is terrible! Consistent issues with Bluetooth connection and transfer of power data. it fails to do the 1 thing you need this app for! Back to stages link

Zero offset is borked in v3.3

Since this update three days ago, zero offset fails every time with my single-sided crank PM. I’ve tried everything — killing the app, rebooting, replacing PM battery etc. ZO works fine with my Garmin 1030 Plus and Karoo 2.

Broke since 15.5 iOS version

This app is so amazingly clunky and terrible. It’s also very broken since 15.5 iOS version was released. The app does not keep the screen awake so it shuts off while using it as a dashboard for the SB20 bike. Can’t simply upgrade powerMeter firmware quickly or easily. It’s a complete mess.

Quite disappointed (Gym Director)

I ordered 9 new Stages 2 bikes all with metros (which cost a bunch extra) for my spin classes. I was very excited about the ability for my participants to Bluetooth into their bikes and see how their rides are.

First extremely disappointing feature is that it does NOT work with the apple active app/watch for heart rate and tracking.

Second disappointing thing is that it’s not linking into the bikes, it does whenever it feels like and half the time it shows that it recognizes the bike and that it’s linked but when you pedal it doesn’t register.

And Third disappointing fact is that it’s making my participants pay for the app in order to use it. I already paid a ton for the meters (which were highly recommended by the sales man I worked with to order the bikes) to find out that they are useless unless each person wants to pay extra to use them. The sales man NEVER said anything about it costing more to use the meters or I never would have wasted that budget money for 9 of them!

Nice idea, poorly executed

Nice idea to update the app for all Stages devices. Unfortunately it’s poorly executed. Requires location services enabled, for an indoor bike. 🙄. And does not support Stages SC3.

Huge improvement over Link

Loving how easy this is to use with my dash M50. Huge improvement on n functionality, modifying pages, sending routes, etc. Great job!

No ability to zero reset cranks?’

Overall love this app. Thank you for creating a easy to use app for operating the stages smart bike. I love the visual feedback of the color coded power zones during workouts. It is great to no longer need another device to track time while on the bike. BUT- I am unable to zero reset my bike on this app and have to open up the stages link for this task. Can you add that feature to this app?!

Worthless

Removed the Stages Link and Stages Power apps before installing this. Connected to my SB20, updated my firmware and now the app crashes every time I attempt to connect it to the bike.

Also, why is location data required for this. Removing now with the hope that I can continue with firmware updates with the older app.
