RideLink allows you to do firmware update for Giant Power Pro and CycloSmart.
RideLink allows you to view your power data including pedal balance, force angle and calibration. RideLink also makes it easy to update your firmware.
Connect with Giant Power Pro
After pairing with your Giant Power Pro, you can view all this data in the RideLink app. The RideLink can connect with BLE-compatible heart rate straps to also show HR data for a complete overall view of your workout performance effort.
Connect with Giant Smart Trainer
After pair with Giant Smart Trainer, you can view immediately cycling data, adjust the resistance level and update firmware by the RideLink app. Also the RideLink app can connect with BLE compatible HR belt and cadence sensor to show heart rate and cadence data to see your overall workout performance.
Use RideLink to calibrate and update the firmware before your ride with Power Pro. This will ensure that all data output is accurate.
Workout data is saved in the RideLink app. You can also forward ride data via email to evaluate your ride performance and make future training adjustments.
Note: RideLink is compatible with all devices running iOS 9.0 or newer.
This is THE WORST App I have every used. First, there is an update available for the Power Pro (the power meter associated with this App). The update absolutely will not upload to the Power Pro module. The Bluetooth connection just drops when the the update firmware button is pressed.
Not related to the App, but the Power Pro device itself is THE WORST power meter I have ever used. It’s only recording power data from the right crank arm. There is NO WAY my L/R balance is 2%/98%. It was this wrong information that led to think - ah maybe there’s a firmware update. Sure enough there is, but.... IT WON’T DOWNLOAD because this App is so poorly written/conceived.
Will be contacting Apple to ask why the App Store can have Apps like this even posted. It just doesn’t work!

Terrible Power Meter and App
I notice that I am having the same problems as others have reviewed from 2 yrs ago. The power meter just basically has stopped holding charge, the left battery icon on the screen is showing a red battery as soon as charging is completed.
Cannot calibrate and will not update firmware.
Buy a different brand of bike. Giant will not support your problems with their bike and equipment.

Functional but could be easier to use
The start/end ride buttons should be on every page and labeled Start/End. I don’t even know how to pair a HR device to the app either, I only remember one is not paired whenever I start a ride.
Never had an issue pairing and calibrating my Power Pro MY19 power meter and RideSense speed/cadence sensors.
Just picked up a CycloSmart trainer so there might be a follow up review later.

Doesn’t work
Brand new 2021 TCR advance pro 0 disc with giant dual sided power meter and cannot get this app to pair via Bluetooth to the power meter. Very disappointed to buy a $5600 bike and can’t use the power meter. Awful app. No customer support either. Giant website has a useless video from 2018 but the new power meters are different. Come on giant you can do better than this.
Dan's User Name,
App will not recognize power meter, now power does not fiction.
Power meter was working fine. Battery died. While charging power meter I downloaded app. App never recognized the meter—Bluetooth screen is just blank. Power meter no longer works with any head unit. Giant has a poor quality unit and app on their hands. Dealers have no idea how to repair power meter.

Crashes immediately
Can’t even use the app with the latest version…. Even before this update, success rate for power meter calibration was only 50% or so (Bluetooth connectivity issues). Really need this fixed asap…. Cmon giant you are better than this!

Glitchy, inaccurate, and just doesn’t work
When it isn’t missing full sections of a ride it’s glitching out and closing/pausing itself. Those are times you even get it to turn on though.

App crashing on open
The app is normally fine to update my power meter, but with the new update, it crashes when I try to open it.
CQinP,
Crashes!!!
The new version with bug ‘fixes’ crashes after 2 seconds. Deleting and reinstalling doesn’t help.
Now I can’t calibrate my power meter! What an awful app. Giant… please post a link to a prior version or fix this one! PLEASE!

Doesn’t work
It works sporadically. If it’s not a connection or pairing issue then it’s a consistency issue. The app just crashes in the background which causes the ride to die. Also no auto pause features
