This app could be better
The app mostly works fine, but there are 3 major gripes I have with it. It would be so helpful to be able to search routes. I have a lot and I have to scroll very far to find them. Being able to sort routes would also be nice (modify on, last used, maybe distance from me).
The watch app also has a major bug. If you do not remember to shut down the watch app when you are done biking, it continues to record your heart rate until the watch is drained - even when the bike is off.
There are features that used to be paid, that are entirely unavailable anymore. They enable features related to the bike. When I bought my bike brand new I was expecting these features to be available for purchase. But they had disabled them a few months before I bought my bike. I think it would be really cool if Bosch could just give everyone access to these features - especially since they are between the app and the bike

Works ok, but mainly dependent on phone accuracy and does not integrate with other bike computers.
The route recording is dependent on your cell phone connectivity and it lacks integration with other bike computers that have far more accurate gps data.
It is as dissatisfying as their lack of supporting the right to repair as most of their motors are very modular in construction and not hard to rebuild, but they are more interested in replacement than rebuilding.

Useless heart monitoring
2026/06/02: just received an answer from “Your Bosch eBike Team” that tells me they do not support the Apple Watch!!!!
So the real question is: WHY do you provide (and install) an app on the Apple Watch to do what you are telling me is not supported?
The logical conclusion seems “just to be listed in the Apple App Store and benefit from Apple marketing machine”
In my book, this is absolutely unethical if not downright fraudulent!!!
Original review:
I have several sport apps which NEVER had any issue with heart monitoring on my Apple Watch while I exercise.
This e-bike Connect is horrible: while biking, there has never been one ride (out of hundreds) where the heart function worked from start to finish. It is both frustrating and useless that they cannot properly develop it after all these years.

Ok but utterly unreliable
This app has the potential for greatness but I've been using it for almost 5 years with a Nyon head unit and Bosch has never put in the effort to get it there. It regularly stops syncing, then forcing you to remove the bike from the phone's Bluetooth list, remove the phone from the bike's memory, and re-pair from scratch - which also then fails to pair 3 times out of 4 if not more so you often spend a bunch of time getting it to reconnect.
Even putting aside the fundamental failure to generate decent directions in the map module or even let you manually input them without a lot of effort, dumping your connection repeatedly and forcing the user to waste time on setting up again is egregious IMHO.
