### 3/5 — PLEASE Transfer Angi Functionality to Main App! 🙏

*2026-06-02, version 3.6.22*

Invested heavily in Angi helmets and sensors for safety/tracking. PLEASE don’t yank that away from us. Thank you

### 2/5 — Please update

*2025-08-31, version 3.6.22*

At one point this app worked fine but it is clear that they are no longer supporting it. 

I am not able to update emergency contact information. 

Come on Specialized you have the money to make this product work.

### 2/5 — No longer synchs with Strava

*2025-08-16, version 3.6.22*

Strava rides don’t show up anymore - Strava is linked but they just don’t synchronize to Ride. I used it to track the mileage on my Roubaix but now it’s kind of worthless

### 2/5 — Falla

*2025-06-14, version 3.6.22*

Tengo conectado mi Ciclocomputador garmin a la App de ride pero no me volvió a acumular ni el kilometraje ni el tiempo recorrido ni ningún dato de cada rodada.

### 3/5 — Integrazione

*2025-04-26, version 3.6.22*

Angi funziona su questa applicazione abbastanza bene, come mai non é anche integrata direttamente con la app di specialized della turbo levo   ???

### 2/5 — No sirve el registrar bicicletas

*2025-03-11, version 3.6.22*

Apenas al entrar a la app, me quiero meter a registrar bicicletas y le pongo a registrar una que no es eléctrica o de otra marca y apenas le pico y ya no sirve, se sale de la app

### 4/5 — Layout

*2024-06-30, version 3.6.22*

Good app, but Is it possible to save a custom metric layout?
Speed, time, etc

### 3/5 — Features have disappeared

*2024-02-17, version 3.6.22*

I use this app with Strava and my Garmin bike computer, after each ride the data is transferred and recorded doh this app. 
I own a few bikes and I have always manually added which bike I’m riding to each recorded ride on the app to keep a log of kms travelled ect on each bike. This has now disappeared and I can no longer find a way to add which bike I rode to each ride. It’s always worked fine until now so I presume you’ve updated the app and removed this feature. Please bring it back?

### 4/5 — Велик стороннего бренда

*2024-01-18, version 3.6.22*

Добавьте возможность загрузить картинку для велика другой марки в разделе Gear

### 4/5 — Foto fehlt

*2023-10-10, version 3.6.22*

An sich eine gute Übersicht über alle Fahrten mit meinen Rädern. Unter „Aktivitäten“ würde ich mir bei der Fahrrad Auswahl zum einen noch wünschen, dass sofort eine Art Dropdown Menu erscheint, welches Rad man genutzt hat. Es ist doch sehr Zeitaufwendig bei jeder einzelnen Fahrt das jeweilige Rad auszuwählen. 

Mein Creo wird nach der Auswahl mit Foto angezeigt, leider fehlt ein Bild von meinem „Roubaix SW Tram Frmset“. Wäre schön wenn es nachgereicht werden würde oder man selbst eines einstellen könnte. Da kein Foto dabei ist, ist es in der Auflistung aller Rides unübersichtlich.

### 1/5 — Mise à jour firmware capteur angi impossible

*2023-10-07, version 3.6.22*

Impossible de démarrer une activité car cela nécessite une mise à jour du firmware du capteur anti mais qui n’aboutit jamais.
Un message d’erreur apparaît.

### 2/5 — Won’t load data

*2023-08-17, version 3.6.22*

Like others have mentioned, data takes forever to load after my ride. It’s too bad because I have both my bikes recorded ride history in the app. I wish Specialized would put some effort into making the app little more functional.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t load bike data or history

*2023-08-14, version 3.6.22*

Is this app not updated any more? Until about a year ago the app worked perfectly fine. Then problems with loading ride history and bike data arose. It took unusual long to load the information. Meanwhile it stopped loading data at all. Dear developers, can you fix the issues, because I really like the app.

### 2/5 — Apple support

*2023-08-13, version 3.6.22*

Stale bez podpory apple watch a health :(

### 2/5 — Help!

*2023-07-15, version 3.6.22*

I have used this app for years for angi safety to call home - but today I can’t enter an emergency contact- deleted and downloaded the app 2x - help guys this is important!

### 2/5 — Won’t connect to Strava or show my ride history

*2023-07-12, version 3.6.22*

I got this app to connect to my crash sensor, and recently tried to connect it to Strava so that I could post the ride data. It will not open my activity, I just get a constant loading circle. When I try to connect to Strava it gets stuck sending me back and forth to the Strava app without ever actually connecting. I wish I could just connect the sensor to my Apple Watch and have it run through apple fitness, as this app chews through data and battery in the background just to allow me to use a device I had to pay $50 for. I love Specialized, I’ve ridden one for 15 years, but some tech support is greatly needed.

### 1/5 — Really poor quality

*2023-07-06, version 3.6.22*

It doesn’t support you in anyway, your can’t set the goal you wanna drive to. Comparing with Cube app really useless.

### 1/5 — no me deja ver mi bici

*2023-07-01, version 3.6.22*

pongo el número de serie de mi bici specialized y me aparece otra

### 1/5 — Activity reports load about 10% of the time

*2023-06-18, version 3.6.22*

When it works, the reports are awesome. Sadly, they rarely work.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Disconnect

*2025-09-12, version 3.6.22*

It keeps disconnecting from the account and won't reconnect.

### 1/5 — Ident Code eingeben????

*2025-05-02, version 3.6.22*

Ich soll beim verbinden mit dem Bike einen Code eingeben der im Display angezeigt wird !!!?? Wie bitte soll das gehen? Mein Bike hat kein Display !!!! Geht wohl kaum schlechter

### 1/5 — Zwangs Login Erneuerung nervt

*2025-03-06, version 3.6.22*

Warum muss man sich regelmäßig (jährlich) neu einloggen, meinen die App-Programmierer Nerd‘s das ihre User schneller sterben, als die App sich weiter entwickelt? Was soll dieses Bewusste Ignoranzverhalten. Soll man Stunden vor einen Radtraining erstmal alles durch checken? Dafür habe ich keine Zeit !ich will Fahrrad fahren! Wenn ihr uns wenigstens durch eine Benachrichtigung informieren würdet, wenn man Zwangs ausgeloggt wurde. Dann könnte man noch vor der Ausfahrt reagieren. Diese App soll doch in Verbindung mit Angi Leben retten? 
Habe mich schon oft über dieses Gebaren geärgert. Denke schon über einen Wechsel zu einem anderen Anbieter nach. Das Ausloggen ist ein NoGo. Brrr

### 1/5 — Slow and unreliable

*2025-02-26, version 3.6.22*

The app takes a very long time to open when selecting the activity. Fix is to open the activity, close the app and wait at least 30 minutes to see your activity. On top of that, the equipment you select, i.e bicycle, does not save.  Doesnt matter how many time I select my bike, it goes back to non selected.  I have no way of checking the mileage I put on a particular bike.  Restarted iphone several times and has gone thru several iphone updates.  App still behaves the same.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother adding data

*2024-12-11, version 3.6.22*

I loaded the app when I got an Angi equipped helmet. 
1) It doesn’t capture ride titles from my Wahoo Bolt uploads, I aligned titles myself only for ride to periodically wipe them, this may now be fixed as it hasn’t happened for a while but 
2) bicycles ridden, I used to tag different bikes to my rides but now like (1) the app has taken to wipe this data, I’m not going to update each ride again, easier to just stop using. 
In addition to these major flaws, it constantly creates duplicate rides to be deleted 
It regularly removes the option to update activities forcing you to come back later and update batches of rides. So no point using going forwards.

### 1/5 — Leider nicht zu gebrauchen

*2024-09-15, version 3.6.22*

Ich habe mir einen neuen Helm gekauft und mich für die Sicherheit durch das ANGI entschieden. 
Leider kann ich das System nicht nutzen, da ich im Rennanzug keine Taschen habe. 
Wie veraltet von Specialized, das das ANGI nicht mit einer i-Watch cellular gekoppelt werden kann, ist ja mit Simkarte und somit kann darüber auch ein Notruf abgesetzt werden. 
Wer trainiert denn heute noch mit Handy!?
Bitte dringend um update der App, damit ich meine smartwatch mit dem ANGI koppeln kann

### 1/5 — Not very useful if you own a Globe Haul

*2024-08-15, version 3.6.22*

I was using this app to save rides I did on my Haul and automatically upload to Strava. That worked fine. But once you connect it to Strava the Globe Haul app ALSO uploads an additional ride to Strava with no GPS and the wrong bike details. No way to fix this. Specialized told me the only solution is to disconnect Strava. Makes this app pretty useless.

### 1/5 — no emergency contacts?

*2024-08-05, version 3.6.22*

worked great for years but tried updating/adding emergency contacts to no avail. was a great feature.

### 1/5 — Was da los?

*2024-06-17, version 3.6.22*

Zum 2. mal innerhalb einiger Monate kein Konto mehr vorhanden. Extra dafür neue 2. E-Mail angelegt. Zurücksetzten des Kontos funktioniert auch nicht, keine Antwort vom Hersteller. Egal mit welcher Adresse ich zurücksetzen will. Die registrieren Räder sind dann auch weg.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2024-02-25, version 3.6.22*

This app used to be good but it’s useless now - it’s only records part of your ride , when you work so hard in a ride you need something more reliable !!

### 5/5 — Funktioniert top

*2024-09-28, version 3.6.22*

Funktioniert mit meinem Helm mit dem Angi Sensor. Fahrt Aufzeichnung auch sehr gut. 
„Digitaler Tacho“ mit der beste den ich kenne. Alle Infos / Geschwindigkeiten genau in der richtigen Größe und top leserlich. 
Kann ich empfehlen 👍

### 5/5 — Works well, support is outstanding

*2022-05-03, version 3.6.20*

The app works well and does what it needs to do. 

I had a perceived issue that my phone would go to sleep while the app was up making it so I couldn’t see the app while I was riding. 

I submitted a bug report through the app and I was emailed back quickly saying there was a setting that could be changed to prevent that. 

Moral of the story is that I’m dumb, the app is good and the support team is awesome.

### 5/5 — Super app

*2022-03-03, version 3.6.20*

Cette app facile et gratuite est idéale pour suivre sa progression 
Les cartes sont détaillées et combiné et Komoot, son capteur cardio et son capteur Angi elle permet de tout regrouper en simplicité

### 5/5 — Support

*2022-02-22, version 3.6.20*

Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Support.
Kontaktaufnahme per Mail, Antwort mit Hilfestellung in kürzester Zeit.
Freundlich und zielführende Bearbeitung!

### 5/5 — Works great, they must have worked the bugs out

*2021-11-19, version 3.6.19*

Im assuming they’ve fixed a lot of the issues that resulted in 3 stars bc mine does what it’s supposed to

### 5/5 — Works well with Strava

*2021-08-24, version 3.6.17*

This is a much easier and straightforward way to record your rides than Strava. You just launch the app and there’s the record button. It syncs with Strava so you can still get ride analysis and share with contacts, and although I don’t have one, you can pair it with angi helmet sensors.

### 5/5 — Simple to use ride tracking app!

*2021-07-26, version 3.6.16*

Super easy to use to track your rides, plus some good articles too!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2021-03-07, version 3.6.7*

I have a specialized rockhopper hints why I have the specialized app and this app is amazing it’s bassicly strava but for free you can track rides and that kind of stuff find local rides and start local rides it’s ridiculously simple and astonishing bangin

### 5/5 — Eay to use

*2021-01-14, version 3.6.6*

Great app. Could improve by setting screen active time on the phone. A bit irritating to have to activate my phone every few minutes. Otherwise awesome!

### 5/5 — 問題なし。

*2020-10-10, version 3.6.3*

使わないことを祈ります
