Paying customer - it’s on

RWGPS could be great, but lots of little things kind of hurt.

The watch apps for example… can’t reroute. So you have to pull out your phone if you miss a cue.

Watch pulses constant too when the ride is paused… why?

Does the product and dev team even use these things?

Hi there, thanks for using Ride with GPS, and for the review. We do, in fact use the product! Good feedback around a re-route prompt - something we can look into. We've also considered automatic re-route, as an option - something you can try out with the 'QuickNav' feature by choosing a destination from the recording screen. With regard to the pulsing - there are a lot of settings, between our app, the watch, and the phone that can affect the ultimate user experience. You can find some documentation on this here: https://support.ridewithgps.com/hc/en-us/articles/4419025011611-Apple-Watch. Most likely what you are feeling is related to one of the time-based metrics, like Duration - as the seconds tick by, the watch haptics automatically kick in - we might be able to ignore this for time-based metrics (which would be a good change), but some of this is just built in to the WatchOS. We really appreciate the feedback, and would be happy to chat if you have other thoughts and ideas - just get in touch at info@ridewithgps.com.

Worst Ever

Of all the apps I’ve tried over the years to guide me on my bike trips this was by far the worst. The list of issues is long. Suffice to say I dropped it less than a day into the free trial.

Hi there, thanks for trying Ride with GPS.

We appreciate all feedback and want everyone to have a better riding experience. Happy riding!

Really good but room for improvement

Overall so much better than Strava or Garmin but the pc/browser route planning still is buggy when adjusting course.

Hi there, thanks for using Ride with GPS! If you want to share any more specific feedback or things that aren't working well for you in the planner, please get in touch with us at info@ridewithgps.com. We appreciate it!

Remarkably poor

I only used this app for a day, hated it and then got something better… which was also free. When using the app in English, the units appear to be set to miles which is useless in Europe. If you make a wrong turn, the app is poor at getting you back onto the right track. Sharing routes is easy but that’s not enough to make me use Ride with GPS when there are better solutions and for no money.

Hi there, sorry to hear you had a bad experience with the app. Metric preferences are under Settings > Use Metric Units and not tied to language preferences. Many features of the app are free, but some do require a subscription. We wish you happy riding and hope you'll try Ride with GPS again; always feel free to be in touch with questions or feedback at info@ridewithgps.com.

Good so far but has the potential to be great

I just started riding again, mostly for pleasure, with the added bonus of running a few quick errands throughout the week. All of my biking is on city streets in a modestly busy city, at least in terms of traffic. This can be difficult at times, especially in area where sideshows and lack of traffic enforcement have become the standard. Therefore, avoiding some of the main streets is not so much an option as it is a necessity if you plan on arriving home alive. This app has been especially helpful when planning out rides to the grocery store, or just for fun, as it tracks all the data I find beneficial, while providing an easy route planner and tracker. For the most part, it’s rather easy to navigate through the app, however, there is definitely room for improvement. Added unexpected bonus was the social media/app community aspect, which allows you to setup a profile to connect with other bikers in your area, publish/share routes and pictures, etc. As of now, there’s not much participation, but I’m hopeful with time, and some app updates, this could grow into an amazing app and community.

Love the app

Super useful for planning rides, on roads and trails…love being able to share with others. Could use some updating on road surface upgrades in some areas. Overall 5 ⭐️

Finally found what I was looking for.

I’ve been using Ride With GPS for three years now, and it’s the app I spent several years looking for by trying all sorts of other bike navigation and tracking apps and moving onto a different app every year. So I did my own survey on several social media apps and the hands down winner was Ride With GPS from bike touring riders all over earth.

I used the free version of Ride With GPS the first year for 5-6 months or so and went to the full on top of the line subscription version because the free version was awesome, but I needed all the paid version tools and since the free version was great I figured the full suite would not disappoint and it hasn’t.

If I were going to knit pick anything about the app it would be that I use Avast Secure Browser, but Ride With GPS doesn’t fully work on the Avast browser so Ride With GPS Support told me to try Mozilla Firefox on my PC, and everything worked great. So when doing 99% of all my bike tour and ride planning. It’s so much easier to build routes on the PC use the Ride With GPS webpage via Firefox than on my iPhone.

Good app for beginers and easy to use. This app grants access to lot of information that can be analysed to gauge performance for the entire trip. Highly recommend

Very hard on my battery.

It seems like the app works great but it will drain the battery very fast. After 4 hours you need an external battery pack. I tried the download application without the wifi or roaming on but still it drains the battery very fast.
