Update from trash to compost

The app used to be unusable. Now itโ€™s unusable but cool looking. The registration flow is literally still broken.

2.0.0 update ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป

ai promoted ui and terrible look, too many menus and whoโ€™s idea was this? the old app was fine

Failed firmware update

App is no longer capable of updating bikeโ€™s firmware. Stuck on a spinning wheel.

Dear oh Dear

Starts off well but woe betide you veer off route. This app will never get you back again but simply repeat you're off route. Thanks. I know that. Google maps to the rescue.

Does not Work

Download this app, created an account and have never been able to open it. Removed the App and reloaded many times - still no access. Donโ€™t buy and make sure you get a discount on you Giant Talon E + EX, as it advertises that this function is available. But clearly it is not accessible.

Needs Data??

Why must it always have a data connection and why do I seem to need to re login every time I open the app??

Very poor

Poor app for the price of the bike, slow, glitchy, gives info one time and next time maybe not, wifeโ€™s Bosch Flo app is ten times better than this app

Used to work!!

This app had worked great for the past 5 years. Now it connects to my bike but wonโ€™t check for updates or register speed, distance, etc. The app sucks now!

Not reliable

App frequently fails to save completed rides and shows an error at the end. Losing all ride and route data after finishing a ride is frustrating, please fix the reliability issue

OK if you never ride of mobile data range

This is an example of an app which has a completely needless requirement for you to create an account and login so you can access your local property that you have just paid a large amount of money for. If when you launch the app it cannot connect to the servers. It complains that connectivity tells you your login has expired and demands that you login. This is of course utterly impossible if you are mountain biking anywhere exciting where mobile phones have no connectivity. This completely fails to understand mounted biking and the needs of their customers.

Apple Watch app

Really lacking a app for a Apple Watch like Bosch specialized the other mainstream bike manufacturers

Gets worse with every update, take a leaf from Sonos

This app is getting worse every update and it appears giant dont care. Log in issues, unstable connection. Follow Sonos lead and when they did a poor update their CEO took it upon themselves to get it resolved, which they did.

Where is the e-lock?

Totally pointless, how do I set up the most important thing, to lock my bike?

Recent update spoilt app

This app worked ok 2024 then update 2025 made it worse, with connection issues especially when connecting when on WiFi app crashed when you left home WiFi.
Recent update is terrible now itโ€™s not recording distance travelled. When you pause for a stop route is lost.
Hopeless

Disappointing

No lock my bike or Apple Find my on the App

Connects but ride function doesnโ€™t work

Hey Giant app IT people. Happened again. My app wonโ€™t show any ride info when connected. No time, distance, speed, cadence etc. All of these features began working again after the April 8th APP update. They have now stopped again. Perhaps after latest iOS update 26.4.1 ? Please review

Updates? What updates?

The app freezes up whenever I check for updates.

Disappointing

Laggy and crashes frequently. Do better Giant.

Connects but ride function doesnโ€™t work

Hey Giant app people. Happened again. My app wonโ€™t show any ride info when connected. No time, distance, speed, cadence etc. All of these features worked prior to the latest update. Not sure my AD can fix what was pushed to our devices by the app developers.Please review

Really bad

Itโ€™s pretty obvious this company just dose not care there are so many problems. It will not recognize my info so logging on is not possible and then all of a sudden the next day it kicks in and I can control my bike that I paid good money for. I love the bike but if I have no control well I may not buy another Giant product in the future. Fix the app please
