Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Didn't even know that alternative apps were possible until I saw this post, thank you!
Spouse and I got an Echelon bike in 2020 and the worst thing about it was that you can't use it without internet connectivity. Thankfully we hadn't done any app/firmware upgrades for a while, and now we don't have to worry about that at all :)
