I really like the app and have the free version but a few Ext
A few extra features could drastically improve the experience.
1. Better customization of run distances. My military run distance for pt is 1.5 miles can only set for 1 or 2 miles which requires constant app monitoring when nearing the 1.5 mark.
2. Ability to auto stop a gym workout at a certain time. Lost track of how many times I have left the gym and forgot to stop my workout which completely destroys my data tracking. Half the times I don’t realize I forgot to stop it till I am at the gym for my next workout and open it to see it’s still running 😔

Apple Watch Series 3 connectivity is lackluster
Having so much trouble mirroring workout data with my Apple Watch and my phone through this app even using UA’s troubleshooting guide. It’s the second time I deleted the app, as per UA’s troubleshooting guidelines, and reinstalled it from both devices just to make these two things work together during workouts. First-world problems.
Lost a lot of critical HR data during long rides and some didn’t even collect GPS distances. I may be working with “older tech” but I’m not buying the latest iPhone and Apple Watch just to get mediocre workout tracking service from one of the top leading health tracking app (only second next to STRAVA, that is too Radically Left for my taste buds so I dropped them off the face of this earth.)
Also, let’s make buddy following and safety contact GPS (when it’s working) following for relatives a little easier to accomplish with just a simple link send via SMS instead of having to create a member account that they will never use for its intended purposes. Get with the 21st century UA.

Very useful
Studies have shown that the best way to maintain weight loss is to write in a journal your consumption of calories as well as your exercise. For biking I just need to click "start your workout" and my bike ride is recorded; the map with the route I chose, my different rates of speed, the incline of the hills I take, and the calories expended, according to my weight (higher weights consume more calories). This app works in conjunction with the app My Fitness Pal, giving me a total picture of the exercise I'm getting and the food I am consuming. The two work very well together.

Been a member since 2007 - now leaving.
I have used these MapMy products since before UA bought them. They have been really good products for riding and hiking - the two things I use them for. I haven’t been too active for a while but on getting my bike ready and starting to ride again, I tried to link my speed and cadence sensors up and had no luck. In searching the web, I found lot’s of advice on how to do it but nothing worked. Then I found their announcement page where they told us that support for those things was discontinued. In order to use their app I will have to go out and invest in new sensors and get another app that will sync to their app. Sorry, I’ll be getting a new app. To me this a pretty egregious abuse of their customers for MAP MY RIDE! I mean, really, if you can’t get accurate speed and cadence to combine with your heart rate while riding… The speed that I get when using just the app jumps all over the place from 21 mph to 11 mph so it’s not real clear what you are doing. Hate to say it but BYE!

Decent but…
This app is nice to keep track of your route and all the statistics in it. As in average speed, distance, the area you’ve covered, etc… one thing I don’t really like it the info… I chooses to identify as non-binary, in the info tab, you can only choose to be male or female… sex and gender are two different things. Sex is and person reproductive organ in their body. And gender is what you choose to identify as. I know there’s a lot of mixed opinions on this topic everywhere, but this app should be a place for everyone. If I were to change it, I’d ether put a ‘choose not to say’ option under the gender info tab, or have non-binary and or a blank option there.

Email problems
Asked me to validate email address which was wrong. When I tried to update it I couldn’t because I already had an account with the correct email address for map my walk. Support suggested that I delete the app that I used least. I thought of a better idea - to use my email alias instead. I still think one should be able to use the same email address for both apps. I have given the app only four stars because of this niggling problem. Otherwise it does what I want.
I’ve just discovered from another review that one can use map my ride to map walks as an option so perhaps I should do that. However it would have been helpful for Support to mention that.

Nice with Apple Watch 7
No heart rate data and everything works really well on the iPhone and Apple Watch. However it would be really nice if It could totally share data with the iPhone health and workouts apps. There is some strange behaviour there.
Solid app, but could use some improvements
The functionality of this app is good overall, but there are a few things that could certainly be improved.
#1: When I initially end and save my rides, it displays my average pace over the course of the ride. For some reason, I cannot find that data anywhere after the ride is saved.
#2: While displaying the “full analysis” of each workout, the data is cropped in a strange manner, which cuts off some information in the bottom of the display.
#3: The overall user interface looks a little outdated and could certainly use a refresh. The user interface of Strava and Apple’s fitness application are much more visually appealing, and more user friendly in some aspects.
I’m kind of torn about switching to the Apple fitness application for the superior user interface, but I’ve been using MapMyRide for years and enjoy having all of my data in one place. With some subtle updates it could certainly be a 5 star app.

How the Map My Ride App. Changed My Life
Today I rode my bike 10.4 mile. So far in this month of February, I’ve ridden just over 55 miles. I enjoy the Map My Ride app tremendously. Last summer I rode over eleven hundred miles and burned over 61,000 calories. As a result I lost 53 pounds, lowered my blood pressure and reduced my glucose number from over 7 to 5.5. The app is a great motivator. Each time I ride I log my statistics, the animals I see, the weather conditions, and my mental state of being. I started riding just five miles a day and now I routinely ride 15 miles easily in just over an hour and a half and as many as thirty miles. Not bad for a 72 year old. With biking I don’t feel 72 at all my doctors are all amazed. I think it was the Map My Ride app that made the difference. By cataloging my efforts, I am more motivated. I frequently ride the Atlantic County Bikeway which begins in Mays Landing, NJ and ends in Cardiff, NJ. It 7 1/2 miles one way. The round trip is 15 miles. That 15 miles has become my routine. I have a hybrid Trex bike. I get a kick out of seeing much younger bikers struggling as I pass them. I greatly impressed with this app. I know that I would not have achieved what I have without it
Question: Is there a way that I can use the app when I’m on my stationary bike? New Jersey has some tough weather at times and I can’t ride outdoors.
Respectfully submitted,
K. S. Nelson

Badminton not there on Apple Watch
Why is badminton not there as activity on Apple Watch for MapMyRide. I can see that activity on the mobile app but don’t see on Apple Watch. Would love to see that as activity on watch as well. would greatly be appreciated!
