## Review summary

Many reviews flag chronic connectivity and login issues, frequent update crashes, and a clunky UI. Offline use is limited. However, users note accurate ride metrics, built-in navigation and speedometer, power setting adjustments, and data syncing across Giant bikes when the app behaves properly.

### Pros

- Accurate ride metrics including speed, distance, mileage, battery health, and battery percentage.
- Built-in navigation and a speedometer.
- Ability to adjust power/motor settings in the app.
- Data synchronization across multiple Giant bikes so ride stats stay in sync.
- Frequent firmware/app updates that bring improvements when they work.

### Cons

- Chronic connectivity issues: Bluetooth pairing failures and constant disconnects.
- Mandatory sign-in with a Giant ID and repeated login/password problems.
- Update crashes and updates that fail to fix issues; maintenance seems unreliable.
- Clunky UI with missing features (e.g., cannot delete saved rides; settings reset).
- Limited offline functionality and unreliable offline use.
