Love the idea
Well, I really love the idea of the app and find that it works okay, I feel a bit frustrated with the fact that when starting a ride, I am not able to identify the trip purpose, and I have to wait for the ride to be accepted to the website before I can change from ‘fun/fitness’ to the actual reason for the ride. Another feature I would really appreciate would be the ability to use it as a trip computer like MapMyRide. So I don’t need to have that app running as well. But overall it’s a mostly positive experience, and I like being able to identify areas of my commute that I feel need improvement on cycling infrastructure, and I fine the heat map so interesting to look at. I also enjoy the motivational aspect of the streaks, and the prizes that are on offer.

Love to Ride motivates me !
I’m nearly 80 and sometimes technology defeats me. But riding may make me feel younger and cope better with phone apps. The heat map on this Love to Ride app encourages me to find a new route each day towards my target of fifty miles a month to and fro to our village shops.
Fun and accurate so far
The apps been logging my rides no problems and I’ve enjoyed chasing my streaks. I also think the rate my routes feature is pretty cool - let’s hope the council can keep up.
Auto ride tracking impressive
The auto tracking for rides works really well, although it does use a bit of battery in the background. I wonder how that works? Very cool.
Doesn’t record rides
I have tried to manually record two rides, a 35 mile ride and a 12 mile ride, and it failed to save both of them and gave no indication as to why. In fact, it said it successfully saved them but they are nowhere to be found. Also, it doesn’t support Ride with GPS.
Something went wrong
Whether I try logging in via magic code or setting up a profile it always says Something went wrong try again later. It’s been doing this for several weeks so have never successfully got into the app.
Can’t log in
Won’t let me log in. But can on the website
Still has issues
I have been using the ap now for a number of years, and things have not improved much. The main issue is auto logging is not consistent and accuracy is not good. Recently had a whole ride that the ap missed and one it only logged the second half off. If you wasn’t it to work properly then just start a ride from the Home Screen.

It’s a start
There are some things I like with this app, that my other apps don’t do. But I already have a gps, and t runs great, so I wish the neat toys didn’t rely on me using the auto log. The neat toys are the personal heat map, and the ability to draw out which roads are friendly and which are not. Unfortunately, I can upload my data straight from my gps, but only with the auto log. I don’t like the auto log, because I already use my gps and Strava to load to the fantastic web site. So all the auto logged rides are duplicates. I would like to mark friendly and unfriendly roads in my area without having to use auto log. In fact I think I already know some roads I would like to mark red, without having to go out and ride them again. I can’t even rate my rides that are more than five miles long!!! That is lousy, since that’s every ride for me. My commute is triple that each way. I love the web site and have been using it for many years, so I hope the app also develops into something useful positive, and useful. But we have a way to go.

It’s good but ☝️
It’s an ok app iv been using now for the past couple of weeks, Im finding the only thing letting it down so far is it doesn’t track from where you start.
Iv noticed it’s starts to track a mile or two after you set off, Kind of disappointing but let’s see if that gets an update soon.
