Thanks, worked for me too.
Now to see if it's any better than last version.
Can I save rides?

Yup. Just got back from a quick test ride.
Lee beat me to it, but it saves the ride no problem. If you are a Strava user you'll need to re-signup with that to share as well. Works no problem.
Also, and this is great, it connects to the bike much more quickly and without fiddling around.
Overall much more stable/reliable.
Now I want it to be able to keep the screen on.

Just tried the app with my 2018 Dirt e +1. Once paired it freezes the display and non of the control buttons works. Battery in and out resets everything. I tried it twice before coming in and searching the forums. I'll chat to my dealer but I can live without it

My display packed up and was replaced under warranty. The app now works perfectly. I'm assuming the new display(or software) is a wee bit different as it now says "Goodbye" when I turn it off

I'm on an android and it works ok.
Hopefully someone will come along and share their experiences on an iPhone.

Android here also, use it 4 times a week without issue, initially sounds to iPhone specific.
Only thing I am not sure about is the accuracy of distance traveled between RideControl and other apps like Strava.

So won't it sync with the i phone then

It should totally stay sync'd with an iPhone with your 2019 SX 0, based on what you mentioned trying it on 3 phones it appears to be either a connection issue with the Giant controller or perhaps an issue with that version of the iPhone app.
Just tried it in the lbs and it worked on an e+2 but still not on mine

Hi,
I've got a 2018 Full-E+ 1 SX Pro and an android phone. Initially ride control shows as connected but wont show rides or tuning. LBS updated firmware, I reinstalled app and re-synched now get bike details and synch doctor shows no errors, but no tuning (greyed out.) Tried with the shops iPhone - same. Asked what hardware I would need to update reply was non of the 2019 hardware is interchangeable. All I really wanted to do was tune the modes down a bit so assistance was more progressive.....
Recently purchased a spare battery, charged OK, bike said it was OK - went to ride threw up the error that the battery pack not recognised and switched off! Old battery OK. So back to LBS who reset the battery (a very secret combination of button presses)
I am also appalled at the lack of presence from Giant on the forum, shame as I love my bike but the support stinks...….

What I find particularly annoying is giant was advertising the app when I bought my full e in May 2018 ( Giant e bike app- any experience with it? ) , I bought the bike expect this functionality yet they're telling us it's only for 2019 models!

I own a 2018 full e sx 1. The app works with me. Except saving the ride log is very hit and miss. In fact its 95% miss.

The Tuning bit works 100%.
