Hey my friend you would be disgusted if you seen the internal components of that board it is some really cheap Chinese circuitry. I just posted a video on my channel if you'd like to see it it's pretty rough in there.
Thanks buddy. And appreciate the feedback👌 I would love if you checked out my more recent videos and let me know if you still think it's loud or I should make it even quieter?
I’ve had the gtx for a year and a gtr for a year and Evolve keeps up with technology. I loved my gtr and never had any issue but like you I needed more and I hope evolve will give more. They need more speed and torture. I moved on to a Lacroix Prototipo DSS50+ and I’m really loving it and it’s giving me what I was missing. The gtr is a beast carving machine so we’ll se what they come out with next.
Y'all have not had fun till you've shredded on a golf course late late at night..... seriously the most fun ive ever had in my life. Currently working on a 28ah and 42ah battery for the GTR carbon for some more lengthy rides!!!
@@ASeSkater seriously the cart paths are a perfect eskate race track! I built a custom carbon fiber adapter plate that attaches to the board on the bottom and allows you to hold 1 or 2 extra oem evolve 14Ah packs with just a Y adapter or 2. Just like that you got 40+ miles of fun plug and play my brotha.
20:18 The issue with the evolve remote.... is the evolve remote. I'm sorry... you have tried to sugarcoat a SERIOUS fault with this board. It is, in my opinion, inexcusable. If I worked for evolve, it would be my number one project not only to redesign a remote that actually works without dropouts but to engage in a program to recall and swap out all existing speed controllers and remotes with this new remote. This could be done in conjunction with the new board and remote they just released. I have personally experienced drops outs with their R-2 remotes so often, and once in a situation that could have even been life threatening, that I will no longer use this remote but instead have rebuilt their R1 remote several times now. It is so dangerous, in point of fact, that I would not even use it as a back up. I would use it only to get me back to my car or home in the event of my R1 failure. Granted my board is one of the original GT Carbon series boards, but this IS an issue that they can and should address through service and or upgrade.
I mainly work overnight so I usually use CZcams to entertain myself and I have to say I just came across your channel and I absolutely appreciate the dark colors and black background it makes it so much easier to watch and not have my eyeballs being burned out of my head like most CZcamsrs do. I just came across your channel and I'm definitely subscribing 🔥🔥
Thank you! Finally found someone who appreciates the dark themes which I love too. Glad it makes it easier for you to watch at work. I’ll try and make some more dark themed videos now I know they have some appeal
Solid review, I really dig that you included customer service experiences as that quite often gets skipped in reviews like this. Likewise mentioning the size of the community behind these is a nice touch, the OW community was one of the reasons I picked one up. Small critique of the video, the audio mix at the beginning was a little off making it a little difficult to hear you over the music, but this got better further in :D
Man the OW scene has an awesome community! Extremely positive and always helping each other out. Thanks for the feedback! Very valid point, I'll be more careful with mixing next time :)
I would say that they should add USB ports to their chargers. It makes it easier to charge the remote and lights when you are charging up the board battery. You pay a lot so a higher rate charger makes sense. I would like the charge rate adjustable so if you aren't in a rush, you can be easier on the battery. I would also like to see a switch or adjustment on the charger for the total percentage charged. It makes it easier to charge for storage. It makes it easier to charge to 80% for short rides and maintain a longer life span on the battery.
Thanks, appreciate the effort and quality of the review. Not an e skateboard user. The Bamboo GTR is the remaining model on the list. Solid R&D, quality manufacturing, and great customer service. My emails to Evolve have all received replies within a day. Awesome considering I'm not a Evolve rider. Similar concerns regarding the remote. No option to set some expo on the braking function lever? Bit of experience with lipo powered r/c platforms and outboard boat motor. One issue with fast charging can be individual cell and/or battery health. Health in terms of capacity and charge cycle life. Personally rather maximize the number of charge/discharge cycles with the ideal charge rate. Life. Compromises.
love the video man. I have a CGTR and ive put 500-600 miles on it. im a hard rider as in i love gunning it, going max speed as often as i can my setup is the 107s with the 32teeth pulleys i weigh 190Lb and i can get a max speed of 30Mph. i ride my GTR everyday i can get a solid 20 Miles range with my riding style.i really Evolves next board to have bigger motors and a higher top speed 35mph at least with more range. ive only had one current issue with my CGTR my motor, something came loose inside but evolve kindly are sending me a free motor. the remote is a huge downside for me its so fragile i dropped my first remote very lightly and the spring inside came loose and the screen broke. After that i had to but a skin or sleeve for the remote which was 3D printed and it had protected my remote like a charm ive dropped it a couple times now and nothing. get some protection
Thanks for sharing your experience! I love gunning it too! Glad to hear that evolve are getting a new motor to you, and yeah I think their remotes are super fragile so you always need to be extra careful not to drop it. I'm using the same 3D case, its a must for the R2.
Great review! One of my issues you mentioned was the brakes being sensitive downhill I almost flew off by just slightly hitting the brakes gives you a very sharp jerk and I can never slowly press down without it happening once you build up speed. I recommend slightly pressing the brake trigger while going down hill gives you much more control. Evolve Tip 101
yeah I've found that to be a big issue as well. I like to hit the throttle going downhill still, but I definitely make sure to drop my stance reaaal low before touching the brakes at all. Was going 48k downhill once and touched the brakes as softly as I could...nearly flew right off. My stance was dropped too.
Funny because the R2 remote is these best designed one because it gives you the feeling of a actual trigger to peddle performance like in a car. Its easier to hold as well. I have mine hooked to a retractable key chain so is snaps to my sides and doesn't hang from my wrist I feel this is better and safer.
I feel the same way you do as I am a bigger rider and I to have an evolve carbon gtr the next board has to have a massive improvement at a fair price range
The figures on the travel size battery are way over estimated. I consistently only achieve around 4 miles. I’m able to hit 31mph on my board though with a simple gear mod. :)
nice review! a lot of editing! i own a cgt, after a lot of issues, i ended up to 6374 motor, focbox unity, and 12s4p vtc6 battery, all fits in the original case, 60km/h top speed with AT, and 22 mile range, (80kg bw) all in gt, also more over all reliable system, i spent in total 900 euros, but was damn wothty
@@thomasbarlow4223 the vtc6 battery are the best avible e-skate cell, they have 3000mah and 30 ampere each, the board, with those cell, it’s a beast! Riding original evolve skate, Make them feel like a toy.
Planning to buy a carbon gtr soon! This video was very helpful thank you. Well edited!! Definitely recommend this video for others debating on purchase. Only downside to the video was times when you were talking it was hard to hear you over the music. Especially because I watched your video on 1.5 - 2.0. Looking forward to seeing more of your content!
Another cause of GTR wheel locks is due to a failure of the Motor Controller pbc connection. Whilst still being rare to occur, it has been a proven manufacture fault they are working to eliminate
Just picked up my Evolve Bamboo GTR All Terrain. I'm really stoked and looking forward to riding it this weekend. I took it for a test ride after buying it tonight just to get used to it. I also owned a OneWheel+ XR.
What a video. Really cool editing dude. about the board I am really impressed at 122kg and you still have ridden so many miles on the board! Very impressive the evolve
Great review. I am glad that the belts and other parts are lasting so long. I just picked up my carbon GTR yesterday with low miles for half of what it costs new. I had a few questions and someone picked up The phone at Evolve right at about 9:05 am to help me out. I love this board and already want the hadeon
Hey Hilmo. Thanks. I would say no actually. There is now a better board you can get for your money called the Exway Atlas. Check out my recent videos 😎
3 year update soon? 🤔 I've had mine 1 year, just got the hadean and wondering how much life my gtr has left after using it as a daily almost for a year
I love my GTR AT board. We were living in the USA when they first came out (GT board). I had both GT and bamboo. I'm thinking about getting the bamboo GTR board just to have a little better carving (when I have a need). Our kids can use whatever board I'm not on. The only negative thing for me is the APP. Like you, I just gave up. Did they ever get it up and working? The next bug for me is (AND IT IS NOT EVOLVE'S FAULT) is that in Germany you need a rear "license plate". I still haven't figure out were I need to go and get one. I still haven't got one.
Hey. Thanks a lot. It will be fine for your weight. I think there is a better board in 2021 for the price which is the Exway Atlas. Check out my latest video 👍
Bought a Carbon GTR 3 months ago, went to swap the AT wheels with the street 107s and I had a massive hard time as I had to bash the wheels onto the drive gear and only managed to get them fitted after applying some lub. Not happy about that. Range on the AT wheels is pretty poor (around 23km - I'm 95kg and I only use GTR mode) as you mentioned and I find the street ones a bit rough to ride on. Looking to upgrade it late this year but ain't getting ripped off with a Hadean so will look for other brands.
@@ASeSkater Thanks for the tip. I've looked at the Meepo Hurricane and Zeus Pro as I'm looking at getting more speed and range from my next board. What are your thoughts on those? I'll check out your review on the board you mentioned too. Cheers
@@ASeSkater No i haven't, the first time i kinda wrote it off as i must have accidently taped the breaks, but the second time it was obvious, kinda weird i was going the same speed both times when it breaked i was barley able to run it out luckily
@@Ryenyork that's terrible man. Makes me nervous about riding my board now too! Luckily I'm getting an exway in a few days and their connection is very reliable
I've had my CGTR 2in1 for a year now (Black Friday 2019) and share your views. I've had no issues and endless fun - though probably at generally lower speeds! The only thing I could add is that the terrain I'm riding is the single biggest factor in the range I get. Long wet grass is an absolute battery and passion killer! You've got some resonance for that there video editing malarkey! Brilliant skillzzz!
Thanks for sharing your experience Alec! Speed isn't necessary for enjoyment at all, I often go out at night for a low speed carving session around the neighbourhood just to clear my mind! Long wet grass sounds like a heap of fun though. And thanks for the kind remarks!
Yes bro! What a cracking review! Nailed it! Covered everything. This is a cracking video for someone looking at a first board for sure. Well done dude. Take a bow! 👊🏽
I have lock brake with evolve and my remote was new only 2 weeks also was calibrate and i never tap the breaking also when I push the brake to the max my tyres never slide like when I have lock brake . This is totally different . I think the problem is in the remote also they know it and change the remote .
You have great vid production skills! But I have a problem: literally zero chance you're getting the advertised range at 268lbs. My buddy who's 225 always gets about half the adv range. You may not be an Evolve ambassador, but you're still blowing smoke up their rears :p
Hey Emily! Thanks for watching! I don't get the advertised range, thats actually one of my criticisms 😩 I hope their next board has a bigger battery or more efficient cells
GTR Torque is lower than Old Evolve GT. (Even in top 100% battery) I am really missing the torque of GT! GTR brakes are much softer and this socks because sometimes you need to brake to avoid the danger. I prefer more aggressive brakes of GT. (My experience 1year GTX 1.5 CGT and 2 years of GTR)
@@thomasbarlow4223 yes, its the ESC! GTR does not have sag like old GT. However, at like 70% of the battery the GTR's top speed drops to 18mph max (AT configuration) The torque is lower GTR is a good boring commuter board.
one time I was at 85% battery. I was going slow, riding the brake down a hill. It disconnected. When I reconnected, the battery showed 100%. I had just ridden 5k though...it's like the thing went into protection mode. The weird thing is, it still rode down all the way from 100%...like what the fuck...what happened?
@@ASeSkater they can still address this problem before the first new boards are shipped I guess. Apparently the regen-function produces an overcurrent which shuts down the system? I am still interested in the Hadean, along with the Propel Endeavor Pro or de flux motion at2. I will decide a bit later, when more reviews are out.
forget Evolve, go for the Miles sex panther. The sex panther Has way better specs in speed and range, same level of water resistant, really reliable, looks stunning, and most importantly its only half the price of the evolve. The Miles team is also great at answering questions and receiving feedback. They can take sometimes a day to get back to you, but they always give you an answer. And the sex panther comes in either direct-drive or belt-motors. For those who like off-roading, go for the belt motors so you can use the AT wheels, and you can also swap the AT wheels for street wheels. And i can’t stress enough how good the sex panther looks. Evolve is like Samsung, yea they’re good and reliable, but they’re price are just too much, were as the sex panther is more like apple (although it may not have as many features) it’s actually really really reliable, and actually worth the price. Which the price is originally around 2k but its on sale for 1,100-1,300$, and knowing Miles history, i wouldn’t doubt if it stayed in sale forever just like the rest of the Miles boards. Don’t get me wrong the evolve looks good but just a bit overpriced for what you are getting compared to the competition.
I agree that it's probably a much better board, but that is a disastrous name for a board. Almost like it was chosen by a 12 year old. Very immature. My opinion
@@ASeSkater lol i know, but so what. Its still better than the evolve and significantly cheaper. The name is the last thing i care about when i’m about to spend over a grand for an electric skateboard. And it just looks so clean with the carbon fiber.
@@Ec8625ec Ah cool. For me, the name and brand matters. If I'm going to support a brand by buying their products, I want to also be able to relate to them. I can just imagine riding and being stopped by a family to ask what the name of the board was.. Its telling that they are a new brand, the one man show behind the brand has some things to learn very quickly
@@ASeSkater i guess i see your point. I just personally don’t think it’s too bad of a name (although it’s pretty funny), and i like that Rob Rast is really involved with the product. To me it shows that he actually cares. But anyways the evolve is cool, my friend has the bamboo, but i just gotta say. Besides the stupid name both me and him agree that its the best bang for the buck, considering the countless of electric skateboard companies that are constantly coming out. Im still waiting on ming to arrive but if it’s anything like the Miles phantom, its gonna be killer.
my gtr AT will take me about 20 km and that's riding conservatively. They are overestimated figures and you are lying my friend. Either that or you have no hills where you live. Regular riding you will get around 20km on the AT wheels (I'm like 150 pounds too)
You make good video's but im not inline with your meaning off evolve. evolve isn't priced competitive their boards look good but perform meh. like 1000 euro boards out perform their 1700 euro and up boards you cant say its fair priced. 700 bucks for customer service isn't fair. i one day looked at their products and even the belts cost 25 euro's just bruh these things are 5 to 10 bucks on every other company,. Maybe if money isn't a concern it is a nice board but than i whould choice laxroic over evolve or the exway atlas ( better performence looks and feels kinda simulair).
Please include metric figures on screen, I can't get any meaning from videos that are imperial because I'd have to pause every few secounds to convert all you figures.

mY GTR LASTED MERELY 28 DAYS BEFORE ONE OF THE MOTORS DIED. eVOLVE HAS BEEN OF ZERO HELP SO FAR
Sorry to hear that man. That sucks. Check out the Exway Atlas. I ditched the evolve for that and I think it’s a far better board
Thanks I will certainly be checking them out

I'l neve rbuy evolve again.. and their haedean is just too expensive for what is in it
Thank you so much for this descriptive review on these evolve longboards, I will most likely be getting the GTR bamboo longboard in the nearby future
Another cause of GTR wheel locks is due to a failure of the Motor Controller pbc connection. Whilst still being rare to occur, it has been a proven manufacture fault they are working to eliminate
the fact that that shit even happens at all is appalling....nothing more dangerous than 100% wheel lock. Let the fking thing roll ffs

Great summary..... im looking forward to a Hadean board review by you. It looks like a big next step by Evolve.
Thanks. But it’s also a huge step up in price and I can’t afford to buy one
Bit loud music and dark but great review. If you go on hills you will overheat the motors even if you are not a heavy rider. Cheers
Really appreciate your feedback thanks!

You're very welcome bud
I love my GTR AT board. We were living in the USA when they first came out (GT board). I had both GT and bamboo. I'm thinking about getting the bamboo GTR board just to have a little better carving (when I have a need). Our kids can use whatever board I'm not on. The only negative thing for me is the APP.

hey do you reckon this board will work for a guy who weighs in at 135 pounds tops? Is it still worth buying in 2021? Nice review btw
Hey. Thanks a lot. It will be fine for your weight. I think there is a better board in 2021 for the price which is the Exway Atlas. Check out my latest video 👍
Bought a Carbon GTR 3 months ago, went to swap the AT wheels with the street 107s and I had a massive hard time as I had to bash the wheels onto the drive gear and only managed to get them fitted after applying some lub. Not happy about that.
Range on the AT wheels is pretty poor (around 23km - I'm 95kg and I only use GTR mode) as you mentioned and I find the street ones a bit rough to ride on. Looking to upgrade it late this year but ain't getting ripped off with a Hadean so will look for other brands.
Yeah it’s a bit outdated tbh there’s much better boards today for the money. Check out the Exway Atlas. I’ve also reviewed it on the channel
@@ASeSkater Thanks for the tip. I've looked at the Meepo Hurricane and Zeus Pro as I'm looking at getting more speed and range from my next board. What are your thoughts on those? I'll check out your review on the board you mentioned too. Cheers
@@hpgurgel The Hurricane looks stellar to be honest. You can't go wrong with it I don't think
Blunt af 🤣lolll love the style Tho mate . This channels fiiire🤔👀✌🏻
Great review by the way!
Appreciate it, another one dropping soon :)
my gtr has locked up twice and it was not user error, i was paying very close attention when it happened both times
Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Did you speak with Evolve about it at all? What did they say?
@@ASeSkater No i haven't, the first time i kinda wrote it off as i must have accidently taped the breaks, but the second time it was obvious, kinda weird i was going the same speed both times when it breaked i was barley able to run it out luckily
@@Ryenyork that's terrible man. Makes me nervous about riding my board now too! Luckily I'm getting an exway in a few days and their connection is very reliable
@@ASeSkaterI wouldnt worry too much!! Thats sick i have the exway wave i love it
@@Ryenyork hell yeah nice board!
I've had my CGTR 2in1 for a year now (Black Friday 2019) and share your views. I've had no issues and endless fun - though probably at generally lower speeds! The only thing I could add is that the terrain I'm riding is the single biggest factor in the range I get. Long wet grass is an absolute battery and passion killer! You've got some resonance for that there video editing malarkey! Brilliant skillzzz!
Thanks for sharing your experience Alec! Speed isn't necessary for enjoyment at all, I often go out at night for a low speed carving session around the neighbourhood just to clear my mind! Long wet grass sounds like a heap of fun though. And thanks for the kind remarks!
Yes bro! What a cracking review! Nailed it! Covered everything. This is a cracking video for someone looking at a first board for sure.
Well done dude. Take a bow! 👊🏽
You're too kind Mark thank you!
I have lock brake with evolve and my remote was new only 2 weeks also was calibrate and i never tap the breaking also when I push the brake to the max my tyres never slide like when I have lock brake . This is totally different . I think the problem is in the remote also they know it and change the remote .
Super helpful!!!
Thanks a lot Cristian
You have great vid production skills! But I have a problem: literally zero chance you're getting the advertised range at 268lbs. My buddy who's 225 always gets about half the adv range. You may not be an Evolve ambassador, but you're still blowing smoke up their rears :p
Hey Emily! Thanks for watching! I don't get the advertised range, thats actually one of my criticisms 😩 I hope their next board has a bigger battery or more efficient cells
@Balance Nothing says biased review like almost 10 mins of criticism 😂 thanks for watching
Will you reviewing the Hadean at any point?
How often do you do maintenance? and what kind of maintenance?
Turn the background music off when you are talking
Thank you for your feedback :)
Think it's better then a B ONE TITAN Board?
Dumb question are the tires supposed to have the arrows going in the same direction or against each other? The board behind you are opposite.
Good question. Maybe. I don’t know. I’ve never found a difference when riding
So how would you like the Hadean?
Hello. Please tell me, if my weight is 113 kilograms, is there a rational sense to take it? Will it sag too much? Power reserve? Thanks.
Hi. Yes it will and the power is not very good. Instead I recommend the Exway Atlas 2WD or 4WD
Can you add the link to that 3D printed cover
I weigh 220 5'9 so probably going 10 -15 miles?
Hay man did you buy there new bord out haydean or some thing like that specs look mean as
After 2 Years and 2000 km. I juste changed the on/off switch. Otherwise, thé board IS great ans reliable. Si much range After 2 Years.
GTR Torque is lower than Old Evolve GT. (Even in top 100% battery) I am really missing the torque of GT! GTR brakes are much softer and this socks because sometimes you need to brake to avoid the danger. I prefer more aggressive brakes of GT. (My experience 1year GTX 1.5 CGT and 2 years of GTR)
Really? That's crazy they'd go with less power. I wonder if it's all in the esc that makes it slow. Not the motors....
@@thomasbarlow4223 yes, its the ESC! GTR does not have sag like old GT. However, at like 70% of the battery the GTR's top speed drops to 18mph max (AT configuration) The torque is lower GTR is a good boring commuter board.
one time I was at 85% battery. I was going slow, riding the brake down a hill. It disconnected. When I reconnected, the battery showed 100%. I had just ridden 5k though...it's like the thing went into protection mode. The weird thing is, it still rode down all the way from 100%...like what the fuck...what happened?
Definitely sounds like something is wrong there. You should contact their support
Zac petterson crashed the Hadean last week, also disconnection while braking downhill.
@@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco very disappointing that evolve still haven’t fixed that with the new series
@@ASeSkater they can still address this problem before the first new boards are shipped I guess. Apparently the regen-function produces an overcurrent which shuts down the system? I am still interested in the Hadean, along with the Propel Endeavor Pro or de flux motion at2. I will decide a bit later, when more reviews are out.
backround music is WAYYYY to loud. Its ahrd to watch
Sorry mark thanks for the feedback. I hope my more recent videos are better
@@ASeSkater no worries, good video otherwise....
evolve's remote is same like two feet driving which is dangerous
Can't hear anything over the music, bud.
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I was editing with loud speakers. Won't happen again. I think it gets better later in the video :)
forget Evolve, go for the Miles sex panther. The sex panther Has way better specs in speed and range, same level of water resistant, really reliable, looks stunning, and most importantly its only half the price of the evolve. The Miles team is also great at answering questions and receiving feedback. They can take sometimes a day to get back to you, but they always give you an answer. And the sex panther comes in either direct-drive or belt-motors. For those who like off-roading, go for the belt motors so you can use the AT wheels, and you can also swap the AT wheels for street wheels. And i can’t stress enough how good the sex panther looks. Evolve is like Samsung, yea they’re good and reliable, but they’re price are just too much, were as the sex panther is more like apple (although it may not have as many features) it’s actually really really reliable, and actually worth the price. Which the price is originally around 2k but its on sale for 1,100-1,300$, and knowing Miles history, i wouldn’t doubt if it stayed in sale forever just like the rest of the Miles boards. Don’t get me wrong the evolve looks good but just a bit overpriced for what you are getting compared to the competition.
I agree that it's probably a much better board, but that is a disastrous name for a board. Almost like it was chosen by a 12 year old. Very immature. My opinion
@@ASeSkater lol i know, but so what. Its still better than the evolve and significantly cheaper. The name is the last thing i care about when i’m about to spend over a grand for an electric skateboard. And it just looks so clean with the carbon fiber.
@@Ec8625ec Ah cool. For me, the name and brand matters. If I'm going to support a brand by buying their products, I want to also be able to relate to them. I can just imagine riding and being stopped by a family to ask what the name of the board was.. Its telling that they are a new brand, the one man show behind the brand has some things to learn very quickly
@@ASeSkater i guess i see your point. I just personally don’t think it’s too bad of a name (although it’s pretty funny), and i like that Rob Rast is really involved with the product. To me it shows that he actually cares. But anyways the evolve is cool, my friend has the bamboo, but i just gotta say. Besides the stupid name both me and him agree that its the best bang for the buck, considering the countless of electric skateboard companies that are constantly coming out. Im still waiting on ming to arrive but if it’s anything like the Miles phantom, its gonna be killer.
my gtr AT will take me about 20 km and that's riding conservatively. They are overestimated figures and you are lying my friend. Either that or you have no hills where you live. Regular riding you will get around 20km on the AT wheels (I'm like 150 pounds too)
The board is great until you realize that they designed multiple things specifically to break
Interesting. What’s been your experience?
You make good video's but im not inline with your meaning off evolve.
evolve isn't priced competitive their boards look good but perform meh. like 1000 euro boards out perform their 1700 euro and up boards you cant say its fair priced. 700 bucks for customer service isn't fair. i one day looked at their products and even the belts cost 25 euro's just bruh these things are 5 to 10 bucks on every other company,. Maybe if money isn't a concern it is a nice board but than i whould choice laxroic over evolve or the exway atlas ( better performence looks and feels kinda simulair).
I have to say since making this video I totally agree with you now. Check out my Exway Atlas review
@@ASeSkater yeah i am watching your atlas review now it was recommended after this video.
What about a kaly nyc?
Yup, that's definitely a board I want! Its in my conclusion :)
Turn your background music down. Here for you review not the music!!!
Learn to Balance the Audio and the Music : )
Appreciate the feedback :) can you please check out my recent videos to see if the balance is better? Would love to hear your thoughts
Music in the back is annoying
What's with the annoying music? LOUD!!!
apple is less overpriced than evolve
Please include metric figures on screen, I can't get any meaning from videos that are imperial because I'd have to pause every few secounds to convert all you figures.
Noted for future thanks
Background music is terrible and extremely annoying.
