Suddenly unavailable
Been using this app for several years, very happy with it. Then suddenly today it is ‘no longer shared’ with me, and a link diverts me to the App Store. In App Store the options are open and cancel ... opening takes me back to the ‘no longer shared’ message ... an endless loop
Love this app
I’ve used this for 6 years and love it. I use the auto pause option so when I stop for a break, the time stops running, and starts again when I do. I have it announce my distance and average speed every 5 miles. I’ve found the distances to be very accurate when compared to trail mile markers. The main display and announcements are customizable. I like that I can save all trips and share them on social media if I want to. Only once has the app frozen and failed to save the trip, but I’ve never had any other issues. No need for a dedicated bike computer anymore.

Excellent free app
I am a 72 year old man who hasn’t biked for years and in lock down resurrected my 25 year old bike for excercise. Found this app to record my distance and route which was great. Then found I could get audio messages on how I was doing direct to my hearing aids. Even better I now think I am in the Tour de France.

Long sync times for watch to phone app.
Primarily track with the Apple Watch. 2 out of the past 2 times I’ve logged a workout with the watch it takes more than a day to “sync while it’s connected to the Internet” which it is. But now as I’ve written this, it is still trying to sync my ride from yesterday (17 hours later). Yes I have also tried the troubleshooting “tips” to make it sync but the watch and phone app just won’t sync. However, for some reason it has no issue syncing the data to the Apple health app just fine..and yes they are up to date.
Just did a dummy test and that synced to the app 10 minutes later. Otherwise the app is nice, full of information even with the free version.

Don’t subscribe!
I’ve used the free version for 3 years and it’s worked flawlessly. I tried the paid version a week ago(2 week trial) and in the first 10 days, for no reason, it stopped right in the middle of my workout 3 times. Twice it paused 10-12 miles into a 25 mile ride and once it ended the workout early. I haven’t used it any different. Start the workout, put it in my pocket, ride my bike and stop it at the end. Never did this once in 3 years with the free version. I concealed the paid and thankfully was still in the trial period.

Apple Watch and things
Sometimes a bit clunky when operating from the watch. App doesn’t auto start in free mode but no idea if it does when you pay for it. Main gripe is that better to have ONE app that monitors all activities that’s intelligent enough to ask you firstly what you I intend to do and then interrogated you if you pause, stop or change from one activity to another. So often I’ve paused and forgotten to restart. No auto start available. Yet the Apple offering - although not perfect either - does identify if you are walking. All you have to do is say “yes” (or press the question bar). It seems that it would not be the wit of man to be able to define certain options based on ones speed. If there is a crossover speed - say running/walking or running/cycling that could generate a query. Nice App but sometimes a trouble to use effectively.

Very inaccurate distance and speed
They updated the app to be more accurate but the opposite happened. On a 30 mile ride the app is off by 2.5 miles! I compared milage to my apple watch and ua’s own route planner. I also drove the route and measured with my car. My watch, my car,and ua’s route planner all agree on the distance, the mapmyride app is simply wrong. I have been a paying subscriber for years and was very happy with the app. I had over 20k mile accurately mapped, then the update.
I contacted their support and at first they said the app was right and was now more accurate. Then i showed them the comparisons including their own route planner (which is a cool tool on their website). They sent back a long list of bs things to do with my phone like killing all apps, rebooting, and then riding with only mapmyride running - silly but i tried it but the results were the same.
I switched to strava and while i like mapmyride functionality better than strava, at least i get the right distances now. They may have improved accuracy for some limited specific set of use cases, but they broke the app for the majority of users.

Restart timer issue
Great except sometimes doesn’t auto restart after stopping for exercise circuit.
Data loss
Had this app for a month and has worked well, was great sharing info with friends but after a recent update the app crashed and lost all my workouts.
I won’t be using this app in future as it’s not cool losing all your workouts.
