I found the Ride Control app lacks a proper manual. Normally it's not an issue to figure these things out and this app doesn't have too much functionality in any case, but there are some potentially useful functionality that I need some more info about.
The goals option for instance can be set for distance, duration, heart rate or time. There is no instructions available on what these goals contribute. I particularly want to know what will happen when I set a heart rate goal. What I would like and what it is doing might be 2 totally different things. I would like the bike to provide me with more support one I reach the upper limit of my heart rate and reduce the sorry when I'm below my heart rate threshold. I could test it but it would've been really nice if they just explained how it works. Somehow I think it's not going to do that but just give me a warning to speed up or show down. Has anybody tested this or any of the other functionalities yet?
I know most people, including me don't use the app for recording their rides for various reasons, including not least reliability of the app.
It does seem however that the quality of the app has steadily improved at least on Android and on the 2019 and older bikes. I see there are still issues with the 2020 bikes.
