### 5/5 — A good app, but lacking in detail…

*2026-08-13*

Update to my previous review, below: The app now shows battery state of charge in 10% increments, in other words 8 bars = 80%. 

This addresses my only significant issue with the app. 

My next challenge for the developers would be to be able to view this info remotely? Or even better, have it switch off at a pre-determined level? Currently you have to physically turn the bike off to see SOC, but maybe this is just not possible. 

Great work – top marks!! Now for the next step…

Original Review: 
In overall terms this app offers reasonably good functionality. My Orbea Diem is set up to use it as a display with the SP Connect system. Nice. 

One thing that is unsatisfactory is the five bar indicator for state of charge, displaying charge in increments of 20%. If it shows three bars, is it at 60% or only 41? If I want to charge to 80% (with these batteries a general rule is to mainly keep it between 20 and 80) should I charge to four bars? If so, it might only be at 61% On the other hand if I go to five bars it might be at 81% or I could have gone all the way to 100! 

Not really good enough if you want to get the best range from your bike while maintaining battery health. Could do better!

### 2/5 — Kein connect mit Komoot und Strava connect stürzt ab

*2026-07-08*

Ich komme direkt von der Bosch Kiox App und habe daher den direkten Vergleich.
Zuerst die Punkte, die mich echt stören.
Wozu brauche ich zwei Apps für ein E-Bike?
E-Tube und E-Tube Ride?
Warum ist der erste Screen immer die Fahrrad Auswahl? Wenn ich nur ein Fahrrad habe? Bei zwei Fahrrädern macht das vielleicht Sinn. Aber wenn man nur eins hat, kann man diese Einstellung getrost verstecken.
Was mich so richtig nervt, ist, dass die App nicht mit Komoot kommunizieren kann um meine Strecken zu teilen. Jetzt laufen immer zwei Apps.
Und seit ein paar Wochen geht der Strava connect auch nicht mehr, obwohl ich die Verbindung in der Zwischenzeit schon mehrfach zurückgesetzt habe.
Und warum kann ich den Akku Akkustand nur als Batterie mit fünf Balken anzeigen und statt ein normaler Prozentwert. Auf langen Touren macht ein Prozentwert deutlich mehr Sinn für die Einteilung als „Ich habe noch zwei Balken“
Auch, dass man das Fahrrad Display in der App nicht umkonfigurieren kann nervt. Im direkten Vergleich mit Bosch Kiox fühlt man sich bei Shimano fünf Jahre in der Vergangenheit. 
Das bestätigt auch der Änderungsverlauf der App: letzte Änderung vor einem Jahr 😖

### 3/5 — Needs main battery percentage

*2026-07-05*

Nice app but would be much more helpful to have an actual percentage for the bike main battery. 5 bars is not enough. Update please Shimano.

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2026-06-03*

Garbage. Cannot customise the data fields so using it to monitor an ebike is literally impossible as the correct data can't be displayed. Has been a known issue for 5+ years and nothing has been done to fix it.

### 1/5 — 5月26日から記録がシマノコネクトラボにアップできない、？(追記)

*2026-06-01*

シマノコレクトラボのサービスが2027年3月末で終了することになり、それに先だって、26年5月26日からこのアプリからの走行データの自動転送は終了になったとのこと。(以上、追記。)

アプリでは記録はちゃんと保存されているのだが、シマノコネクトラボ～に記録が保存されない。
そのため、ウェブでシマノコネクトラボを開いてもライドのログが分析できていない。
前にも類似のエラーがあったことがあった。

### 1/5 — Manque de données

*2026-04-05*

Sur android, j’avais pour la batterie le même nombre de barres et surtout les pourcentages restants . 
Sur iOS , je n’ai  plus pourcentage et pas le même nombre de barre restant sur le vélo . Manque aussi données de dénivelé

### 3/5 — Pre-load maps

*2026-02-02*

This has everything you need in a free bike computer. However, the only thing missing is the ability to send routes from other map services into E-Tube ride. If they had this feature I would never consider a dedicated bike computer.

### 4/5 — Un petit manquement

*2025-12-29*

5 * dès qu’il y aura le D+ et D-

### 4/5 — Can’t connect Apple Watch

*2025-12-13*

I love this app, but I cannot get it connect to my Apple Watch. It did use to connect to my Garmin so I don’t understand it!?

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2025-11-02*

Did an 80km ride today. App crashed multiple times throughout and failed to recover logged data. 
Rebooted phone on the go, still same issue. Crash to folder view. 
Good job I tracked separately with my Apple Watch. 
App not recommended.
