Leave a Review Bike GPS
Good until it forces you to pay
It’s a nice app for tracking bike rides. Some minor glitches with recording ride durations but otherwise good for recording your rides.
Unfortunately after completing my third ride, the app locked up on me and forced me to a subscription page. It refused to go to any other page so I was unable to export my ride data without paying money. There was no warning this would happen which is pretty scummy. I recommend you use other apps for this reason.Show lessThisEmilioG

Update: crickets from the developer. Will now look for another option. Just disappointing. Moving it to 1 star.
Love the app while riding. Gives me all the info I need during my ride. HOWEVER, once you save your ride you’ll never be able to see your prior ride times again. Instead of giving you the minutes it will give you 0:00:0-0. I reached out to the developer and didn’t even get a response back. If they would fix that issue I’d give the app 5 stars. If you develop an app please make sure you can support it.Show lessAtl_Polarbear

Heya, it looks like your email came in during a change of the guard of support and slipped through the cracks. Sorry about that! We've now got support up and running much more reliably, and have taken note of the issue you're describing. It's being prioritized with the development team as we speak and I expect to see an update with a fix soon.Cannot trust accuracy of Bike GPS
I was really enjoying this app. BUT. Recently this app has been inconsistent in tracking speed, displaying 2 or 3 mph when I am doing an easy 13 to 15 mph. This inconsistent tracking provides inaccurate averages for any given ride. Strangely enough it accurately records top speed data. My intention is to dump it after saving all my trip data (by hand, of course), and then buy and download the Pro version to see if that works. I am into loyalty relationships with smart developers. The maker may need to issue app corruption warnings, and suggest downloading the app again.Show lessYazmataz48

Hi Yazmataz48, can you confirm that you've allowed location tracking and that the "Precise Location" is set to allowed? You can check this in your Settings app. Precise Location tracking is needed for the app to give accurate and consistent speed readings. Speed is calculated using the onboard GPS sensor. Twice per second your global position is calculated in 3D space (altitude included), and speed is derived directly from this data. Note that accuracy will vary from moment to moment depending on your location and any obstacles obstructing the data stream from GPS satellites.
