### 4/5 — Schon ganz gut 👍🏻

*2023-01-16, version 1.6.17*

Bin momentan am testen und bis jetzt läuft alles flüssig und es gab keine Abstürze. Die Optik könnte etwas moderner gestaltet werden. 

Eine eigenständige App für die Apple Watch ⌚️ wäre super (Verbindung Watch zu Shimano Motor), dass man das Handy auch mal daheim lassen kann. 🙂

Der Ansatz der App ist super 🙌

### 4/5 — First looks seems very comprehensive

*2022-10-19*

Unlock the hidden data from your ebike. This app offers a wealth of charts and other data sets that aren’t available in the official shimano apps. 

One issue I’m having is the integration with the Apple health/fitness application. The integration with Strava is super simple and worked out of the box - but just can’t seem to get the apple health functionality to work. Have enabled all the permissions but doesnt seem to write the data. 

Love to hear from the developer on how to get it working - bound to be user error. Once this is working the app would be a 5+ star effort.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2021-12-30, version 1.3.12*

App is working great on my phone, can’t get it to connect to my Apple Watch 7? Is there a trick to connect to watch? I have app running on phone and connected to bike and then on watch I hit connect to bike but it goes round and round till it times out.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2021-09-04, version 1.3.10*

Works very well and there is a ton of information available.

On the apple watch app would like to be able to remove information from the screen… would like to have the ability to have only three or four data fields. I would like to be able to glance at the watch and view cadence. Thanks!!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2021-08-21, version 1.3.10*

I really like the app and it kept me from having to buy a Garmin or something like it. Shows awesome detail and all the stats I need. Connects great and stays connected all ride. One star knock since I’ve had trouble uploading rides to Strava. Worked originally but now won’t sync. Hopefully it gets worked out.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2021-07-03, version 1.3.10*

Got the new Orbea Rise and it doesn’t come with a screen. Just an LED that stays green until your at 20%, then it turns red. This app gives me battery percentage (along with other stats) on my Apple Watch, which now gives me peace of mind on longer rides. Thank you for creating! Definitely one of my most used apps now.

### 5/5 — Great!!! Works perfectly for my Norco VLT!

*2021-06-05, version 1.2.8*

Everything is amazing. Please please please add horizontal support!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Super App für Shimano Motor

*2021-04-03, version 1.0.4*

Ich bin noch am Testen - aber die  App vomEntwickler: Vadim Bukin sieht vielversprechend aus - sehr schön die umfangreiche „Statistik“ 👍🏻

### 1/5 — StRide

*2024-10-18, version 1.10.25*

The app no longer works and keeps crashing with my iPhone iOS. Version 18

I love this app and use it daily for my Orbea Rise…works great!

### 1/5 — Cannot connect my iWatch

*2024-07-21, version 1.10.25*

Bought this app specifically to get the battery life in actually percentages on my watch. The app connects fine and gives me way more data than I want (others will love all the extra data it provides) however I cannot get the watch to connect and I’ve tried it on 3 different e-bikes. 

I have an older Norco Sight with a STEPS 8000 motor, and Orbea Rise with an EP8 and a new YT with the EP801. Each can connect to the app but no watch. 

Another annoy thing is I cannot change from KMH to MPH. The settings have a place to go to M from K but it does not affect the “speedo”. 

Maybe I’m doing something wrong and the developer can help me out. If your looking to pull a phone out of your pocket then this app is not for me.  $3 bucks is not a deal breaker but I could have bought a Latte.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-11, version 1.6.18*

I’m only writing this here because there is no other way to contact the developer. I have a Shimano EP8 RS and purchased this app  to increase the torque. I read all the PDF directions before I purchased the app and it’s not as per the directions. You cannot make any adjustments at all. I have the latest firmware version as well. I will report back with a positive review if the developer refunds my purchase or helps figure out what’s wrong.

### 1/5 — Non va

*2021-11-02, version 1.3.10*

A me non funziona. Premi connetti e niente, il pulsante diventa grigio x 1 secondo e non fa nulla…. nessun messaggio, niente.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht. Habe altes Display

*2021-09-16, version 1.3.10*

Schade

### 2/5 — Almost great

*2024-06-08, version 1.10.25*

Can connect both phone and watch to bike to get battery percentage and assistance mode however whilst it tracks the time riden it doesn’t track the distance or any other details when connected via the watch

### 3/5 — Strava export not working

*2026-08-05, version 2.0.117*

Recorded a ride but it did not get uploaded to Strava even though I have it connected in settings. Also there is no way to export the ride to tcx so I can manually upload it.

### 3/5 — App mit Verbesserungspotezial

*2024-10-15, version 1.10.25*

Die App ist optisch  Geschmacksache. Könnte moderner und aufgeräumter sein. 
Lustig und interessant sind die Aufzeichnungen der Strecke. Man kann hinterher den Verbrauch pro Stunde ansehen. Eher uninteressant. Besser wäre Verbrauch pro Kilometer. Bitte ändern. Ansonsten sehr interessante App

### 3/5 — Apple Watch app fails to connect

*2024-08-10, version 1.10.25*

The iPhone app itself seems to work quite well, but the Apple Watch app never seems to connect. It’s incredibly annoying. I am using an Apple Watch Ultra so it’s up-to-date and should have no problems.

### 3/5 — App is n watch doesn’t work

*2023-08-13, version 1.6.18*

I have EN100 on Orbea Rise M10, the app connects in the phone great, and will initiate and connect when I press the watch app connect button, however, the watch app gets stuck on connecting.. and never moves on even though the phone app is connected.

### 5/5 — Hr monitor

*2024-05-23, version 1.10.25*

How do I add wahoo heart rate monitor to STRide

### 5/5 — Long time phone user, starting with the watch version

*2023-10-06, version 1.6.18*

Long time phone user, starting with the watch version. Seems easily readable, as the phone version. 

 The range in the watch display needs to be corrected: mentions “km”, while showing miles.
This was corrected earlier in the phone display.

### 5/5 — Cannot connect to my bike

*2023-05-04, version 1.6.18*

I was able to finish the pairing and love that it shows my Heart Rate via my Apple Watch. 
The key is - if you are using an Apple Watch - to have the app opened but the phone not connected yet, then open the app on the iPhone, and connect it. If it fails make sure you disconnect the app on the phone, then try again. 
Oh and when I change the assist level the watch responds via haptic alerts. Really cool. 
So the app shows a lot of info on the dashboard, including the actual battery percentage which is not showing on my Shimano display (I only see up to 5 bars), the remaining miles based on the Assist Level, shows the current heart rate and the average heart rate, the assist level… and much more!

### 5/5 — Super !

*2023-04-30, version 1.6.18*

Must have wenn man shimano fährt und ne apple watch hat, strava export mit herzfrequenz funktioniert evenfalls. Optik etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig aber funktionen sind einfach alle da.

### 5/5 — Semplice e molto utile

*2022-12-12, version 1.6.17*

L’app funziona egregiamente, veloce nel collegamento all’unità Shimano e fornisce moltissimi dati utili.
Grazie per lo sviluppo.

### 5/5 — Perfect companion for Orbea Rise M10

*2022-08-22, version 1.6.17*

The M10 doesn’t come with a display, I like that it makes the bike more stealth. Thanks to this app I can glance at my Apple Watch to get an update in batt percentage during my rides. The Shimano ETube app is garbage.

### 5/5 — StRide

*2022-05-13, version 1.5.16*

I love this app and use it daily for my Orbea Rise…works great!

**Developer response:** 1. An App can't affect on the maintenance of a stable Bluetooth connection with a device (an E-bike in your case). The operating system (IOS) takes care of that. 
2. An App can't affect on the maintenance of a stable connection between iPhone and Watch. The operating system (IOS + WatchOS) does that too.
All of this applies to any App, including STRide.

Would be nice if you make a video and explain what is going on your side. Thanks

### 5/5 — Wonderful application.

*2022-04-27, version 1.5.16*

I’ve been using with EP8 for close to 2,000 miles - couldn’t ask for a better app to accompany my bike. Updated to the latest version, and for the past two weeks the application disconnects from the motor without warning and stops recording rides. Known issue? Fix in the horizon? Either way, thank you!

### 5/5 — Range is coming

*2022-04-07, version 1.3.12*

Good news. I contacted the developer about RANGE not being displayed, and here’s his reply:

Yeah, sorry. I haven't updated the iOS version in a while because I'm actively working on it now. In my working version, Range is available on the dash screen. I will be releasing an intermediate version in the next few days. Thanks

**Developer response:** You can see the Range on all screens (Dash, Map, List). It will show you the range depending on selected assist mode.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-09-05, version 1.3.10*

Very good app. Love the watch interface to track battery life, cadence, etc. One question: how does the app estimate calories?
