  • A few things to work out, but the best app for bike directions

    Great app! The directions mostly take me on routes I would take myself without relying on a map, with some hiccups here and there. I’d like the ability to edit my submissions since I mess up sometimes, and the submissions take a long time (client end) to send. If I kill the app right after submitting, it still shows up even if I don’t wait for the confirmation. Also, seeing road ratings even while zoomed out would be nice.

    Hi nuglovin, thank you for the support and feedback! We've fixed up the delayed submissions bug from the client side, so that should be much faster now. Will be pushing a fix to the zoom level issue in the next week or two and will share your suggestion about submissions to our tech team!
  • Amazing app and community!

  • Highly Functional and Usable

    I love the functions of this app- being able to choose between a safer or faster route is so helpful for everyday cycling. I also found the app really easy to use, with intuitive features. Overall there is a great idea behind this app and execution to match! Small bugs from earlier versions were quickly addressed and this app has continued to become more and more a part of my cycling routine!

  • Increasing biker safety!

    As someone who is nervous to bike around cars I greatly appreciate the existence of this app. Bugs from the first iteration were quickly fixed, and I have no doubt the app will keep getting better and better as more community data gets imputed. Also, the leaderboard is a fun component of the app. Thank you Pointz for increasing biker safety!

  • Perfect for me taking up biking again

  • Beats other mapping apps hands down

    Pointz always routes me on bike friendly routes, not busy roads with no shoulder like other navigation apps have done for me.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for sharing that Pointz helps you avoid shoulder-less roads so far. Glad to hear this!
  • Exciting safety and logging features!

    I commute via bike daily and have previously found it difficult to balance navigating and logging my activity as I ride. I love that pointz gives me biking specific navigation and data visuals along with marking my activity. Currently that is through the leaderboard feature. Great adjustments to the rating feature as well!

    Hi abenjam, Thank you for the review! We are happy to hear that the navigation and visuals are helpful along with the road rating features.
  • cool design, unique experience

    Really well-designed tool and it’s really nice being able to see ratings on nearby roads right from the get go for better planning and less frustration. The rating system itself is really unique, allowing communities to essentially look out for each other. Looking forward to using this more!
