E-TUBE RIDE
authentic ratingA free Shimano app for controlling Di2 electronic shifting and pulling data off an e-bike, and people like it on features. But one recurring pain sinks it: the app crashes mid-ride and corrupts or deletes the recording, so the track is lost and can't be posted to Strava. On top of that, people want battery as a numeric percentage instead of bars, Apple Watch support, and the ability to import a GPX route.
The gap between the 4.69 store rating and the 2.68 text average is huge, and this isn't down-brigading: the reviews are concrete and agree on crashes corrupting the ride recording, no numeric battery percentage, and no Apple Watch link. People clearly write from experience with their Di2 and e-bike.
