### 5/5 — Sundays ride

*2026-08-17, version 1.71.0*

Awesome

### 2/5 — Maps sucks in the new app

*2026-08-15, version 1.71.0*

Trail bikes need trail maps, not street maps.  
Bring back this feature from the old app!!!

### 1/5 — Downgrade

*2026-08-12, version 1.71.0*

Not sure what the purpose of this downgraded app replacing the other one. Now there are no emergency contacts, the fall detector is gone making the device I bought useless, and I cannot run both the app and my Apple Watch workout at the same time. Used it twice so far and both times it stopped working mid ride.

### 5/5 — Specialized for me

*2026-08-11, version 1.70.0*

This is the best bike anyone could ask for. I started off about 5 miles a day and now I’m up to 25 miles a day. I am absolutely loving it!
I have a bad hip and this is one of the only things that I can get my exercise from and enjoy!
I use no assist when the hip is good and then use the assist when it is a little sore.
Thanks Specialized!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-08-09, version 1.70.0*

Specialized provides and excellent phone app, unlike some other bike brands!! A PC based program from Specialized to view .FIT files on a laptop would be awesome!!

### 5/5 — Top app

*2026-08-08, version 1.70.0*

Been using for 2 weeks very pleased with ease of use. Got everything this I need 👍.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-08-06, version 1.70.0*

Useless app. Doesn’t self start

### 1/5 — Reduced functionality

*2026-08-05, version 1.70.0*

I love my Specialized Cirrus. I also love my Brompton. The older version of the app allowed me to track rides on non-Specialized bikes. So why use it now, when any other app will allow me to cross-track?

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-03, version 1.70.0*

Definitely enjoying this app. It keeps track of all my rides with both my e-bikes and road bike. Tells me how I’m doing.

### 1/5 — fantastic app

*2026-07-30, version 1.70.0*

What a shame Specialized decided to “update” its app and in doing so unsupport one of its best safety features. The ANGi crash detector and tracker was a superb bit of kit. Telling nominated people to track you and god forbid you crashed an alert to them and they would know where you were. It also told them when you left and returned. How that was seen as a good upgrade in these times of increased traffic is beyond me. Finally the app only lets you add Specialized bikes… how narrow minded and a bit petty… otherwise app does what it says it does and it’s free.
