Love it but…
Love it but could you have an option to have bigger font size? Is it fair to say that most people with this bike are over 50 and might need to view while they’re riding?
Also, have an option to physically input the number (heart rate) instead of using your finger to scroll the numbers and let off you even pick it. Never is the right number.

Need to change some settings
One thing I hate is when apps want to track me all the time. I have to turn on always allow tracking in order for the software to track my rides. It won’t if you try to set on ‘track only while using the app’. I’m tired of stuff like this draining my battery tracking all my moves. I only want to track my rides. Not where I live and shop. Selling my data? Sheesh. Other than that gripé I’m happy with what it does track. And seeing ride results.

Great Idea - Flawed Execution
Mission Control has a logical, easy to use interface, has an excellent mapping system, and allows customization of the ebike’s power settings. However, there are a some significant problems that absolutely ruin the app: 1) The app requires Location be set to “Always” each ride. If you forget to turn Location off after riding, it will contribute to drain the phone’s battery. The developers need to make the app work when Location is set to “While Using.”. 2) The app requires Display and Brightness - Auto Lock to be set to “Never” so that the map remains active while riding. Again, if you forget to return Display and Brightness to its prior setting, it will continue to drain the battery. 3) The app reads the battery capacity (viz., %)at the start of the ride, but doesn’t change during the ride, rendering that feature useless. 4) Since applying Apple’s latest security patch, Mission Control no longer saves My Rides in history.

Needs Work
Here’s what I’d like to see:
A setting that allows me to tune how much assist I want when starting from a complete stop tied to each assist level. E-bikes are heavy and while I may not need much assist while actively peddling, some extra power while starting would be helpful sometimes.
Apple Watch & Health Integration. Recording a cycling workout on my Apple Watch produces results more in line with riding a regular bicycle. Recording an e-bike ride on Strava gives me heart rate and other metrics, but no information from the bike. Recording a ride on the app and importing to Strava means no heart rate. Having an Apple Watch companion app that allows me to record metrics both from my watch and the bike would make this much easier for the user.
The app should be able to “wake up” the bike for tuning. Also, under the specific scenario, the lights wouldn’t need to come on.

Pure Garbage, App and Customer Service, a Disrespect to their Customers
Before I relay the issues I’m having with the app, let inform, in case you don’t know already, that Specialized’s customer service is pathetic. You call customer support, but are never able to speak to anyone. You’ll on hold for years until you hang up. Now to the app. This app is junk, and Specialized is not putting much effort to fix the problems. A few of the issues I’m having: - When charging, the screen either show the SOC at 0% or 1%, no matter what the actual SOC actually is; - I set the charging limit to 80%, but it charges to 100%. Sometimes setting the limit works, sometimes it doesn’t; - I set my personal preferences, say for screen layout, cadence, but then, eventually, it changes back to factory default; - sometimes the screen comes on when charging, sometimes it doesn’t. Go figure. One would think a giant company like Specialized would care about the quality of their products and customer satisfaction, but that’s not the case. Either don’t know what they’re doing or they don’t care. Or both.
