Super Awesome

I'm using this on my indoor trainer and my outdoor bikes and it's fantastic.
While the indoor trainer is a great bike, it's not smart. Using this app and some sensors (cadence, power) it turns into a smart trainer without the associated $$$.
The developer is super helpful as well, which is so important when you're dealing with software.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this app, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you!

Simply the best !!

I’ve been using Strava, but I wanted an app that would work with the Garmin Varia. In my research, I found this app. It’s GREAT! I went with the Pro version and I am amazed with what I get for $20 /year. Tons of info on every ride (which can be automatically sent to Strava) and it works perfectly with my Varia. Wonderful customer service! I emailed a few questions which were answered immediately. Also, this app is very well designed and intuitive to use…and that is saying something…I’m nearly 70 and technology is not my thing…biking is…and this app is a real find!

Unable to test app

Tried to test the app for 5 mins and got 10 ads, impossible to cycle and remove those ads, dangerous, please allow users to test.

Response from developer

Hi there, I'm sorry for the trouble, I'd love to figure out how this happened. The only ad you should be able to see before recording and trying out Cadence is a single ad if you want to use a Bluetooth sensor. Otherwise there's only one ad _after_ you save your workout. Please email me at support@getcadence.app so I can understand what happened. Cheers, Ryan

Thank you!

New to cadence

I paid for the full version which was a
Waste of money to get the extra screens as I only cycle . Oh well. It seems accurate and gps isn’t hit n miss like Strava is now.

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for the review! Is there anything you feel is missing that would increase your rating? The Pro subscription comes with a lot more features than just the extra screens: no ads, landscape support, heart rate and power zones, Garmin Varia radar, routes, etc. Cheers, Ryan

No bike computer required

An app that has so many more metrics to record than you should ever need.

It works with my Polar H9 chest monitor and my Wahoo cadence and speed monitors and seamlessly exports my data to Strava and Apple Health.

Excellent app.

Thank you!

Why have a cycle computer?

Ive been using this for almost a month after my garmin died. Honestly, I cannot understand why I would buy a cycle computer now. The only reason I can think of is really long rides, solved by carrying a battery pack. But they have to be really long ones you keep your screen on full time! I love it.

Difficult to put into words as to how GREAT this app is !!

Like a lot of us I've been a Garmin Edge user for many many years.
Well, it got damaged on a ride recently and as I was searching for a replacement I was not looking forward to spending around $600 for a new Garmin.
So as I was sitting in my recliner I started wondering if there was an app that could replace my Garmin instead?
YES.....it's this Cadence app as I have found after using it for about 100 miles of bike riding.
Like any app it takes a while to set it up how you like it but that was so rewarding as it is very intuitive and fun to choose from all the available options.
My most favorite feature is after saving the ride is the very very complete stats shown. WOW !
I did have a couple of questions during the learning phase and emailed support and had very timely responses and solutions from Ryan who I believe is the developer.

Don't hesitate, just get this app and sign up for the Elite service after the 7 day free trial. It's a SUPER BARGAIN !!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review!

Bye bye Garmin!

For starters and to be fair, I have been a Garmin user for over 10 years. I currently have the 1030 model. There are many things to like about it, but it has a lot of shortcomings. I was very skeptical that I might enjoy this Cadence app. However it does quite a bit more than I was expecting. It is very easy to use and is shockingly customizable.
One of the things about the Garmin head units that I don’t like is that the screens are very small, low resolution and hard to navigate (laggy). They are nothing like a modern day smart phone. I am now using this app on my iPhone 14 Pro it is so easy to navigate and to see. However, the only real downside is battery life. I will be using a top tube bag that has a battery in it if I need to plug it in.
I have several bikes inside that all have Garmin mounts. I bought a cheap phone case and added a Garmin mount to it and will just throw my phone in that case when I ride.
In the end, I’m really enjoying this app and better experience for tracking my rise. Oh, and I still can’t import those rides to Garmin so I can add that to all the history that I currently have.
