### 1/5 — Not happy

*2026-08-03, version 5.4.6*

I got a new bike Wednesday wanted a update as soon as I loaded the app and guess what it bricked the bike having to go back now not a happy customer

### 1/5 — This app is the reason to buy SRAM

*2026-07-26, version 5.4.6*

Super rough Bluetooth compatibility and often doesn’t allows updates. Used across three different phones.

### 1/5 — Challenging

*2026-07-19, version 5.4.6*

Every time you are trying to connect your bike to this app and it’s a mega challenge! It’s crazy what’s you need to make to connect…. and you won’t be connected. It’s like a PC from 90’s

### 3/5 — 한글

*2026-07-01*

한글지원 뭐가 어렵다고 한글 지원 안해주는거야

### 1/5 — Não tem suporte em Português

*2026-06-23*

Tem suporte para vários idiomas, mas português deixaram de fora!

### 1/5 — Almost useless

*2026-06-15, version 5.4.5*

If it worked at all it’d be great. Can’t connect to gear to manage. So stupid to need a computer to switch gears.

### 2/5 — Too small can’t read

*2026-06-10, version 5.4.5*

The instructions and pictures are too small it is useless to try and read .
SHIMANO You can do much much better  make it like a normial web pages with a zoom so it can be read on iPhones

### 1/5 — CONFUSING

*2026-05-25, version 5.4.5*

This app is really confusing and it doesn’t actually connect on my bike and change its settings properly. I don’t know if I’m the only one who experienced this, but I think the app is really useless.

### 1/5 — Verbindungsaufbau Katastrophe

*2026-05-12*

Die App selbst ist wirklich gut nur der Verbindungsaufbau zum Rad ist zum Verzweifeln und ein absolutes Glücksspiel. Es funktioniert so gut wie nie. Einzige Möglichkeit ist das Rad zu löschen und neu hinzufügen! Doch beim nächsten Verbindungsversuch das gleiche Spiel. Verbindung nicht möglich. Bei solch einer teuren Schaltung ein absolutes No Go!

### 1/5 — Incredibly bad

*2026-05-02, version 5.4.5*

Unintuitive, buggy and one of the worst pieces of software I’ve ever interacted with. Most recent example, updated software then my shifting was bricked as it needed a “passkey” I’ve never once used or needed.
