Perfection for what I need. Excellent developer, thank you

Love the app...butπŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜”

I love this app however; with the last update it gives me an GPS error and unable to use or it will give me doubles miles. I relied on this app and with it gone I feel like I am missing something when I go out for my rides. I can no longer use until it's fixed so please HELP! πŸ˜’.

No mileage stats kept

This is a nice app if the mileage is saved after a ride along with other statistics. I sent An email to the developer, however I have not heard back. I would wait to purchase until the bugs Are worked out.

Great App

Recommend app for an amateur bicycle rider like me. It provides clear interface with the right amount of info.
I installed the app for the UI and features, and I kept it for the outstanding support.

Doesn't allow location to be used

Can not turn on in location services so can not be used. Used to work a treat. NHJ

Response from developer

So sorry about that. App update was approved today and it should be fixed now.

Don't bother

This app does not work. Downloaded today and tried 6 different times to start using it but kept getting the message that "the GPS signal is not strong enough, wait for signal to lock in and try again".
Yes, the location service was on and both Google maps and Waze picked up GPS signal instantly.
Very disappointed. Had to give it 1 star, only because 0 isn't available.

Useful basic tracker

Interface not very creative, but does the job. Good for tracking basic transportation miles. One major drawback is that the trip is only saved at the end, so if your battery dies or you accidentally close the app, you lose the whole trip. I will probably stop using this app because of that. Shouldn't be too hard to auto-save the trip at regular intervals while it's still active.

Functional but not fancy

Mostly I like this app because it doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. My previous app had bells and whistles galore but I couldn't figure out how to use it and the developers didn't include any instructions or a way to reach them to ask.

Biggest complaint I have with the app is the on/off functionality on the GPS. As others have mentioned it would be nice to have the option to use location services only when the app is in use.

Definitely worth the price for what it is and I've recommended it to friends.

Functional, far from perfect

I can't really recommend this app and have replaced it for tracking my own ride.

Pros: It does what it says without a lot of extra nonsense. Beyond the basic tracking function, it doesn't offer a lot of bells and whistles like many similar apps, but it also doesn't charge a subscription for them. In my opinion, this is a net plus, especially for beginners and those for whom cycling isn't their main sport.

Cons: I have three problems with this app.

#1 Why does this app need to track my location when the not in use? None of my other fitness apps need this. Heck, my map apps don't even need this. In practice, it means having to go into my privacy settings to toggle location access when starting and ending a ride. Super annoying.

#2 Voice summary does not work at all. Probably not a big deal for Apple Watch users, but for everyone else it means riding blind or stopping to check your distance.

#3 It's ugly. Ok, I know it's a petty criticism, but it looks like a Blackberry app from 2010.

You definitely get your $2 worth for this app, but in the end, privacy concerns and the broken voice summaries are deal-breakers.

Voice prompt?

Good app. Simple, and easy to see on I Phone on holder on handlebar of my mountain bike. I did not rate a 5 as the voice announcement does not work. Sent a request for help to email listed a week ago and have not received a response to help. Wish it worked as I wear sunglasses when riding and can not always see screen with polarized sun glasses.

Have now used for several months. Quit using it as the voice prompt does not work. Never received an email reply in response to help. Guess they do not care. Went with MapMy Rise. Free and voice prompt works.
