Does it mean the two other apps can be deleted and this new black one will show the same info as the other two together?

As said, maybe to unify both apps into one! Tried it, works fine, has some little bugs with fonts. I could not find information about motor temperature and firmware information so far!

Just downloaded the new app (in US app store) and it's nice! Absolutely a step up from the original Mission Control app which has been feeling dated for a while now. Makes sense as they must have been working on this new app concurrently. Great stuff!
I have not downloaded it but I use strava to log my rides and I use the app on my watch to ensure my phone battery is saved incase of an emergency.
So will this new app work of an apple watch?
I know I can link it directly to strava but can it work of the watch gps and cell to save my phone battery
or am I worrying about nothing

most of the changes are in the ride section, lots of data about the bike added, average motor power, modes used, etc.

Rien de plus,a part que si on pouvait transférer le changement de puissance en roulant sur un gps garmin pour ceux qui ont les gen 1 et 2 turbo levo,ce serait parfait

Just used the new app. It worked but for now is missing a lot of features that the old Mission Control has:
1. Can’t save different bike tunes
2. Map defaulted to Apple Maps - which didn’t have any of the gravel roads that were on the old MC. Interestingly, there was no roads while riding but after it saved the ride, it showed all the back roads. I couldn’t find a setting to pick what map to use while riding. Not very handy if you can’t see the back roads while riding. Also, not clear how it works if there’s no cell coverage where your riding (that’s an issue with MC also).
3. Had several stats while your riding but you can’t choose which stats to view (like you can in MC)
4. Didn’t have an option to charge to 80% (it quit working on MC anyway)
5. Didn’t automatically start recording a ride like it does in MC (with the setting turned on). You have to click the START. After that, it will automatically continue your ride after you’ve stopped though.
My take:
They seem to be trying to combine their Ride app with Mission Control which is a good idea. Once you log in, all your previous ride data is there (great!). Plus, your ride data is fairly extensive especially your ebike stats. I’m guessing that this new app will eventually be replacing MC but it’s too bad they released it with such a limited subset of features that already exist in MC. But MC has been buggy from the start. When it worked, it was great but you never quite knew if it was working until you got to the end of your ride. Plus, if you drove to your ride and didn’t have cell service, you kind of went into limbo.
Bottom line
Glad Specialized is making an effort to improve their apps. It’s a start but they have a ways to go.

Have you tested the battery usage for Strava on the phone? The reason I mention it is because I see very low battery consumption with Strava. Maybe 5% or 10% over a couple of hours.

You absolutely can change stats and there are more choices. Just press and hold the individual stat and you’ll see a list of choices.

Tried it lately, worked pretty well for a brand new app, but when I set the screen settings for the Mastermind, it wouldn't transfer them to my Levo, so I went back to Mission Control for now. MC will be on the market until end of the year I heard, so they will have plenty of time to fix the new app before it's mandatory to swap.

Does the new app give you estimated range ? All I really want

I was hoping for a better Smart Control. More like Blevo, but it's not on the new app at all.
Make sure your levo is not connected to MC before trying the new app.
Connectivity is pretty reliable from what I can see.
I use Garmin Epix to log my rides, so that feature is useless for me.
If i use MC i use it just to see heartrate and time of the day. My commutes includes lots of dark woods early in the mornings. I have to see the time of day so i don’t get late from work.
I have Quadlock for phone for that purpose.
Lol OK then would be perfect for youI don't own a Garmin
