Ather App Animation Issues, Liquid Glass UI & A Request of New Vehicle Health Features
The Ather app needs improvements in both performance and UI/UX.
• The opening/loading animation is very shuttery and laggy, and it doesn’t feel smooth or optimized, especially on iPhone.
• The overall app animations and transitions could be much smoother and more consistent.
• Sometimes the vehicle image appears completely grey instead of displaying the actual scooter.
• Please consider adding a modern Liquid Glass-style navigation bar with smooth, native-feeling iOS animations.
• A Live Battery Status widget would be very useful, allowing users to quickly see the current battery percentage and vehicle status without opening the app.
• Please add a more detailed Vehicle Health / True Vehicle Health section for newer Ather vehicles as well. It would be useful to see battery health, battery condition, motor/controller health, charging-system status, error history, service indicators, and other important vehicle diagnostics.
Overall, I would like the Ather app to feel as smooth, responsive, and visually polished as a modern iOS app, while also providing deeper information about the actual condition of the vehicle.

Don’t buy Ather
Think twice before buying an Ather. If you do, be prepared for frequent visits to the service centre. The ownership experience has been more about service issues than enjoying the scooter.
Also the sales and service team in UDUPI need improvement. When I came to collect the vehicle for delivery , the charging level was only 14%, and I had to wait for almost an hour for it to charge. This happened even though we had informed earlier that the vehicle should be charged before we arrive for delivery. Because of this experience, I am giving 1 star for now. If the service improves in the future, I will be happy to update and increase the rating.

UI and map improvements
I love the Ather Rizta overall—it’s comfortable, practical, and a great family scooter. However, the dashboard UI is a letdown. For such a premium electric scooter with a large touchscreen, the interface feels too plain and outdated. It doesn’t make good use of the display and lacks customization, modern graphics, and useful widgets.
Another feature I’d love to see is the map. Even when I’m not using turn-by-turn navigation, it would be great if the map could continue showing my live location and the road I’m riding on, just like Google Maps in drive mode. This would make the display much more useful during everyday rides.
I hope Ather improves these through OTA updates by introducing better themes, a richer home screen, more personalization options, and a smarter map experience. The hardware is capable—the software just needs to catch up.

Need magic twist in SL
I’m riding a 450x and it has been absolutely amazing. I’ve stopped driving my car unless it’s a family trip because I love riding the 450x. I’m using it in Sri Lanka and some of the functions are not available here. I would love to have magic twist work because I always use the throttle to slow down before apply brakes. Please Ather team, give us magic twist

Vehicle not getting start and executujve not at all supportive
Regrettably, it is true that the vehicle has not been functioning properly for the past three days. Due to the rainy weather conditions, we have not been able to ride it. The Ather staff has informed us that there are some issues with the software update. I purchased the vehicle in January, and unfortunately, the current condition is not satisfactory.
