Terrible app !!!
Do not even bother to download this. The GPS does not work and just turns in circles and no matter which way you are supposed to turn it always shows to the right. Dangerous app if you are trying to follow it on a busy street.
Also customer service won’t refund subscription even after three days - if you paid through IOS device you can cancel but charged until subscription runs out.Show lesspc41orhr
Fails to record between now and then
Not sure what the issue is but this is the third time it simply fails to record. Also, it is easy to click Start then End and subsequently not see Save so you end up delete workout. Back to Strava after deleting Bikemap.AysarG
!!WARNING!!
After saving a recorded route, the app posts to web site without notification or option not to do so. If you start the app in your home driveway, your home street address in will be posted because of GPS usage. The route name will contain your home street address. Extremely poor consideration of privacy. I deleted the 5 routes that were automatically posted.Show lessBill Ocean
Biking easy breezy
This is one of the best bike apps by far on apple just wish it gave alternative routes for free!! And let you plan your own route. Other than that it’s great to track your routes and give an estimated travel timea45502
A joke for an actual enthusiast
This app seems really good at first glance. When you start making routes it seems to get fishy. When you actually know the routes it’s obvious. I am not sure how the algorithm choose what roads you can use to plan a route, but, it’s horrible. For example, foothill expressway in my area is a main thoroughfare for bicycles, this app WILL NOT let you route along it when planning a trip. Instead it takes you through all the neighborhoods. It does the same thing in SF and avoids roads with bike lanes for some reason. Also has weird glitches like the volume can only be accessed in the first 0.5 seconds of starting a navigation.Show lessgyftrykl
Developer Response
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. We are sorry that you were facing these issues and understand this can be frustrating. Maybe some bike paths in your area are missing in OpenStreetMap, our main data source. We would appreciate it if you could send us the details about the route(s) at support@bikemap.net so we can further investigate this issue. Any relevant screenshots would help too. We'll pass it along to our development team and see if there is any way we can improve the routing. You can change the volume of the voice instructions whenever they appear or via the notification sound settings on your phone. However, we will also pass this feedback on to our development team. Thanks again for your feedback and apologies for any inconvenience. Best regards from Vienna and safe rides!Terrible!
I rode 8 miles to a destination and 8 miles back home. Almost EVERY turn took me the wrong way down a one way street. The re-route continuously just took me back to the wrong way I was trying to avoid. I was almost hit and almost fell off my bike trying not to die. Not only was it terrible - it’s irresponsible and dangerous. Someone needs to figure these routes out ON A BIKE!Show lessMandyNYC6
Great routing but navigation needs to be faster.
I recently started using bike maps to navigate safer bike routes in Las Vegas, and the app does a fine job picking the routes. The only major concern is that the app doesn't give you a heads up when to turn, it only calls the turn as you are right by it. I missed a few of them because of it. If that would be fixed, it could be a great app!Show lessjulieberlib

Hi Julie, thanks for your feedback. We are constantly working on the optimisation of our app and have released exciting new features and improved routing in the past months. Did you already check out the latest app version? Feel free to drop us a message at support@bikemap.net if you have any questions or additional feedback. Best regards form Vienna & happy cycling! 💙Lost my records. Cant record full route
It’s so easy to accidentally hit X while navigating, when you mount your phone on the bike and need to do things on the phone.
The app then assumes that you finished riding, without another confirmation prompt. There is no option to resume the ride if I accidentally hit X. Also, shouldn't there be a pause button while navigating? I don’t want to count my breaks (0 mph) towards my avg speed. How can I cycling app miss these essential features!Show lesssupport_department
Some navigation trouble
The interface to find and create maps is great, and downloading/accessing them on the road works fine. The navigation, however, had some problems.
I wasn’t able to start at the exact starting location on the map, and was pleased to see that the app has an option to navigate you to the nearest point of your route. Unfortunately, my loop started and ended on the same one mile stretch, so the app began my navigation at the one-mile-until-finished point. Even when I “reversed route” it still left out the other 30 miles.
I rode without using the app until I got to the loop portion of my route. The navigation worked fine until it reversed directions halfway through the ride and started telling me to turn around.
The interface and potential are good, and if it were free I’d muddle through the quirks.Show lesssarki0610

Hi sarki0610, thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your navigation issue and kindly ask you to send us the link of the route to support@bikemap.net so we can test and fix any technical issues on our side causing this problem. We are constantly working on new updates and improvements and would be happy to consider your input for further development! Let's keep making the app better together! Happy Cycling 💙Maybe this works well for your city, but not mine.
I’ve used this for a several different destinations in my city. Each time it directly me in the least logical way. It’s taken me in zig zags, and down brick roads and completely avoided roads with bike lanes. I was really hoping that this app could show me new comfy routes. But I’m better off just finding myself.
But hey- give it a try. It’s free. And maybe it will work better in your city?Show lesscrankybiker
