This app is perfect for me

Bike GPS isn’t just for bikers! It’s great for for walks around my neighborhood for my daily exercise, for hikes in mountains, for my running routes to work on my time at various distances for laying out walking running courses and even for use in my car where it gives me very accurate speed and distances compared to my car speedometer and odometer. The ability to customize the screen is very helpful. The versatility and uses I’ve put it to go far beyond my original expectations for it. Highly recommended.

Customer service response

Bike GPS is actively supporting this app. A glitch in an update made the app close after loading. I contacted customer support and reported the problem. I got a response from Darren in customer support with a request for more details which were addressed by supplying a fix within a couple of days. After the update it was working with the exception of the current temperature (an option on the display). The next day I noticed that the app had a fix posted in the App Store. Everything is working fine now.

Casual Biker

I discovered BikeGPS last year, and use it whenever I go for a ride. I’ve been happy with this product and its useful statistics collected for my own future reference. I reached out to tech support on a couple of issues, to which they were readily responsive to addressing. At some point it would be great if this could connect with fitness-tracking apps to measure various metrics like calories burned, etc. Otherwise, very impressed all around.

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.

No support

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.

Response from developer

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. Update 2024-11-07 Thank you again for reporting this issue and for your patience as we worked to resolve it. We’ve identified the root cause and have implemented a fix in the latest update.

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.

Response from developer

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. Update 2024-11-13: To help combat this, we've added a check to make sure that Precise Location is enabled for GPS location tracking. This should prevent this issue from coming up so that BikeGPS tracking is as accurate as possible.

Nice App for tracking bike rides!

After fully purchasing the app and month use, I love the simplicity of the app, and providing me with the information I need on each bike ride. Most important features to me is that it is a one time purchase!!!.
Why I gave only 4 stars…
1. Developer says to email him/ her with questions which I did but no answer. Looks like e-mails are going to a black hole.
2. The app focus on the bike speed giving it the center of the screen. I am not racing with anybody and I don’t care of the speed. However, app doesn’t allow me to switch the screen center information away from the speed like switch to the distanced cycled during the ride or amount of time spent on the ride.
3. I don’t want to upload my info on to Strava servers, then why it is keep on asking me to create a log in? It is irritating.
Otherwise it is a great uncomplicated app!!!!

Here are some limitations.

Yes, you get a large speedometer to tell how fast you are going. And your trip can be recorded, with the option to review it later and see your maximum speed, average speed, time elapsed., Etc.

However, if you want to know exactly where your maximum speed was reached, this app is not for you. Speeds are displayed on a separate screen from the map.

Also, for some strange reason, there's no ability to change the units used for altitude. When I decided from 1100 m to 950 m, the graph shows that I had descended from one kilometre to 1 km. Not very helpful.

, In the app, the developer says you can reach him on social media, namely, Facebook, but if you tap on the icon to do that, you just go to the Facebook homepage and there's no clue as to how to reach him or her.
