Top Speed

Some spurious extremely high speeds recorded, possibly affecting overall average speed?
Calories count seems to work on speed only, probably difficult to assess, but wind affects speed, greater effort required riding into the wind, more calories even though slower overall ride time?
Thanks

Unreliable. Not for serious use.

Iโ€™ve been using Map My Ride for years. It was a great application when I first started with it. It has gotten worse over the past couple years.

It randomly stops recording. I record both walks and bicycle rides. I might go on a 20 mile ride but when I finish it will sometimes say that it was something much less, like eight miles. Lately, Iโ€™ve been walking more than riding. After a two-hour walk yesterday Map My Ride said that I had only walked for half an hour and had only walked half a mile.

The app also often fails to record workouts even when the entire workout was properly recorded.

If you accidentally forget to stop recording, you cannot edit the workout and have it synchronize with Apple Watch.

The app frequently hangs up and remains connected to Apple Watch long after a workout has ended. That causes the Apple Watchโ€™s battery to run down quickly. The only solution Iโ€™ve found is to reboot both my phone and my watch at the same time.

I am using the paid version. As I am writing this, I am wondering if I am being too generous giving this once five-star app two stars.

New App Rate my Ride

I was recommended this App by a cycling friend. So far I have been amazed at the amount of information it generates and it seems very user friendly

Long time user first time rater

I like the app and use it frequently for tracking bike rides. I have used it for years starting when it was just Map My Ride. The breakdowns / stats are cool and I almost always add a photo or two so it makes a workout diary.
I totally recommend this app. Really like the auto stop / start feature
A weird thing happened in the last year: there is clearly a major difference in the map function which smooths out the route as you ride. It is really noticeable as the same trails I have ridden in the past now show fewer twists and turns on the map view to the extent that they are now recorded substantially shorter than they were previously. I doubt this would affect and is probably a good thing for riding on a road.

All the best UnderArmour. Thanks for a great app!

(Formerly) Good app that could be even better

Unfortunately, this app is marred by its unfortunate tendency to go to sleep a minute or two into a workout, thus losing the data. Good when it works, but it often doesnโ€™t.

Update: the going to sleep happens nearly every time and s a fatal flaw. MMR has also gotten very, very slow on saving. Too bad, this used to be an excellent app.

Update 2: the going to sleep is now fixed and the app reliably records workouts. Still slow on saving, but just give it time, you can even let it happen in the background.

Awesome app

Can see all the stats

Conflicts with Apple watch

I just wanted to track my rides on a map. The app was saying that there is more tracking via apple watch. But on the free version not only does it not pull any data from the watch, it doesn't even stote the ride as an exercise. Why would you disable functionality that is already on the apple watch? Free version not worth it.

Years logged in app. Only recent struggles

Man I have years logged into this app. I maybe had one Snafu a year, where the app didnโ€™t log. Since the new apple os update itโ€™s 50/50 whether or not the app will track. I have all the correct permissions set, I pay for premium, and I click the workout button and I watch the clock start. I live track so my wife can keep tabs on my whereabouts in case of a crash. But it barely works anymore . Not sure why Iโ€™m paying premium for something that isnโ€™t reliable currently. I probably wonโ€™t change apps, I just wish they would fix it.
