Needs A LOT of work
The bike is phenomenal. The app is pretty terrible. Specialized needs to fire this dev team and get the dev team that writes the baseline Specialized app to figure this one out. This app feels like it’s made by a marketing agency which means it’s utter garbage.
Nothing really works. There’s the review. And the UI is hideous. Terrible product.

Useful for locking and seeing battery % but that’s it
I would expect this app to be similar to the app my wife uses on her Specialized Vedo. It sets default values. It allows battery charging to be set to 80%. And it locks the bike and sets the alarm.
This app needs the ability to save the light setting at least. And ideally the default assist level.
The other problem is that I tried to use this with the Specialized Ride app to record my rides and upload to Strava. But if you connect Strava to the Ride app the Globe app will also upload to Strava with incorrect bike information and no GPS. Specialized is aware of this but has no intention of fixing the problem.
I do wish the software was as good as the Specialized bikes!!! They deserve better.

Basically pointless
The app has very little functionality. The lock button does not seem to work. When I click the help links I get a message saying “missing authentication token”. So if there is a trick to getting the lock to work I can’t find it out. The only other things to do are turn the bike off (you need to physically turn it on at the HMI interface), and log rides. I don’t really need those features as I have lots of apps to log rides. You can’t even turn off the bike from a far if your forgot, because it runs with Bluetooth connection. So it’s basically a pointless app at this moment.
