Revamping my review after putting more time into this.
On the bright side, the bike itself is nice and solid with good resistance. On the bad side, the media software is trash. I initially regretted this purchase as I was originally planning on using the bike's screen for media. I've listed the many issues with the software below. Anyway, if you can afford this bike, it's highly likely you have a spare tablet to use with it, and it's this two screen set up that shines. The built-in screen is fine for managing the bike's functions and nothing more. Any iPad or android you have will fit nicely into the holder and run media like a champ while you bike. I'd give this a 5 star rating, but I do find the software for the media so offensive I'm only giving it 4 stars.
Media issues with the built-in screen:
The media software requires me pair my Bluetooth headphones every session and will not remember them. There is also a very annoying pop up navigation bar on the display which you cannot make disappear. You can shrink it somewhat but it is always there without even a thoughtful translucent effect. It's opaque and annoying as hell. Furthermore, if you switch screens from "media" to the "training screen" for bike functionality, and then back to "media" as one might be expected to do during normal use, it will not remember your place in the movie you might have been streaming at the time. In fact, it won't even take you back to the movie you might have left–you are forced back to streaming app's root menu. Furthermore, DRM blocks streaming from your phone from many apps and is no savior.
Absolute garbage programming. Bike itself is solid though and supplying a tablet really ups the game with the two screen setup.
