This app has saved me a fortune on putting my bike in for 6 monthly services and yearly services. It’s also cost me a fortune too on bike upgrades 😉😬🤣. Thoroughly recommend anyone downloading this and having a go yourself. ### 5/5 — The app every cyclist should have *2022-09-27, version 1.1.9* This is just what I’ve been waiting for. I am a keen cyclist and have a mountain bike and a road bike. I end up spending a fortune at the bike shop as I would need them to do every simple thing such as adjusting the gears etc. The guys on the app are fantastic and demonstrate it so well that anyone will be able to do it. This is not only going to save me money, but I will feel a lot more confident should I have to deal with any roadside breakdowns. ### 5/5 — Superb *2022-09-19, version 1.1.9* Amazing app, never thought I could do half the things maintaining and servicing my bikes. This app has saved me a fortune and taught me so much!! Thank you !!! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2022-09-10, version 1.1.9* I am very happy with this app. I can service and repair my bike with ease. I’m not very technical but you don’t need to be with this app. Only costs a little but it’s well worth it. I also like the links for the tools required. This will help me build my tools up bit by bit ### 5/5 — Great app. *2022-08-19, version 1.1.9* This app is brilliant. You can use it when at home doing general maintenance or if unfortunate enough with a mechanical issue whilst out riding. Easy to follow guide, one step at a time. This will get you home if needed. I’ve only used at home so far but more than confident if needed out on a run it would assist greatly. Superb value for money. Not a lot to pay for something you hope never to use whilst out riding. The flip positive side is it’s excellent for home maintenance too. Go on…. You won’t regret it. For the price of a Starbucks coffee you have a potential life saver on your phone even with no signal. I’m glad I did. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Genuinely one of the best apps about *2022-02-15, version 1.1.9* As a tinkerer this app really helps out with its concise videos. Loads of helpful tips to keep any bike on top condition. Sure there are loads of vids on yt, but this app has everything you need in one place, maki g it so simple to use. Thanks for creating it ### 5/5 — Highly recommend. *2022-01-25, version 1.1.9* A very useful app to have on hand for a very low, one off price. I highly recommend you buy it. Darren. ### 5/5 — A+++ *2022-01-24* Awesome app that will enable you to have the confidence to fix/maintain ALL aspects of your bike no matter what you ride! The recent update which allows for you to reference the guides without internet/cellular service was a HUGE improvement. Get it! You won’t be disappointed. ### 5/5 — Just brilliant *2021-11-23, version 1.1.8* What a brilliant App. Everything explained simply and clearly. It’s my one stop go to whenever I have a issue with my bike. Absolutely worth the small charge for the App. Well done everyone who developed it ### 5/5 — App Review *2021-10-24* I most frequently ride gravel and this app is especially useful when I am in an area with limited service yet I can still access all “tools” necessary to deal with a mechanical. Great app and extremely user friendly! ### 5/5 — Home mechanics help *2021-10-02, version 1.1.8* Great app, very helpful for home mechanics 👍🚴🏻 ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-09-18, version 1.1.8* This app is fantastic and very easy to use. I am not a bike mechanic but fairly handy. This app will work for all levels of mechanical skill. I highly recommend this for cyclists or for the casual rider. ### 5/5 — Bike Maintenance *2021-09-15, version 1.1.8* Well put together app with videos Excellent for the novice or trained mechanic! Straight forward and easy to understand! Should be even better when the extra mtb Videos are added! Good work! Can’t recommend highly enough! ### 5/5 — Get it! *2021-09-07, version 1.1.8* Outstanding app that has helped improve my bike maintenance knowledge and skills. The team behind it are quick to answer any additional questions or queries. I really cannot recommend this app highly enough. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-09-04, version 1.1.8* So nicely put together and fairly priced. Thanks a lot ### 5/5 — Simple , easy guide tours *2021-09-02, version 1.1.8* My fav app for bike maintenance , easy to use , vids are great and simple. BMX rider - to - Tri athlete - (30 years apart) Enjoyed watching the transitions from clinchers to discs and the pain removed from fixing stuff that was always self taught to getting it. Required stuff - bike stand - helps 100% Knives and forks don’t cut it anymore ! Get a good overall tool kit To add : I’ve changed bearings / break pads / break lines / gear cables & adjustments / bar tape. ### 5/5 — Must have for any cyclist *2021-08-24* Though I am an engineer, adjusting the derailleurs always drove me nuts. This app put an end to that, all set and done within 5 minutes. All the videos and descriptions are spot on and easy to follow. I use this app for pretty much everything I do mechanically on the bike and it extended the range of stuff I do at home vs bringing the bike to a shop. Hands down the best app for cyclists and as essential as a helmet. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money! *2021-07-16, version 1.1.8* What a complete and utter waste of money for anybody whose not already a bike expert. Pathetic written instructions (for example, under ‘replace chain’ step #1 says ‘remove old chain’. I figured the video would give me more insight, but no, it just said “I’ve already removed my old chain”. Useless. I continued to watch, hopeful that it would at least give me decent direction on putting a new chain on - nope. Unless you’re overly familiar with bike parts (and therefore why on earth would you need this app?) you have no hope. Description of steps based on biking jargon and not even close ups to allow you to follow what this bloke’s doing. I’m too annoyed to watch any more. Really, I’m sick of people like this wasting my money. So annoyed. Don’t do it - you tube is likely to be so much more useful. The fact I can use this ‘off line’ really isn’t a benefit for most people. When will I need to replace a cassette at the same time as being off any kind of network. Sorry - I live ‘in the sticks’ and Strava tracks me just nicely. Complete waste of £3.99, which doesn’t mean bankruptcy, but does mean a high level of annoyance. Avoid! ### 1/5 — No video sound *2020-05-14, version 1.1.1* I cannot hear any sound from the videos. So this app is pretty useless to me until that is fixed. I checked to make sure it was nothing in my end. ### 2/5 — Please expand to include Campagnolo *2018-07-30, version 1.0.8* A lot of riders do not use Shimano. We ride Campagnolo. Your app almost exclusively focuses content on Shimano and is therefore lacks specific relevance to those of us who ride Campag. This was not specified in the app’s Description. Please update the app to include Campagnolo. ### 3/5 — Seems basic *2023-01-02, version 1.1.9* Everything I’ve wanted to know so far, it either doesn’t tell me or doesn’t have the setup I have. I cant find anything about crank arm bolt torques and brake lever adjustment was a totally different to what I have. ### 4/5 — Great App for novice mechanics *2021-10-02* I know just enough to get myself in trouble with most things on my bikes. I’m fortunate to have pro level mechanics in my circle for the more complicated issues. But when I’m in that in between spot I need a good reference guide. This app has gotten me through a number of binds including a Di2 issue during a 100 mile gravel race in a remote area. I highly recommend this app. ### 4/5 — Basic Help When Needed *2021-04-02, version 1.1.8* This is an App full of useful information that could easily save you a lot of money... So why not 5 stars... It’s not perfect; but it comes close in all fairness. It lacks some information that may not be relevant to ‘modern cycles’ and in all honesty you can’t expect to get everything regarding bicycle maintenance in an app for under £4. Bikes are complex in construction and repairing one could also be quite a task and this app is good place to start. Give it whirl because you just may find what you’re after and save a bit of money. It’s better than getting ripped off by a place that sells BSO ### 4/5 — Not quite complete *2021-03-23, version 1.1.8* If your bike has Shimano you are ok. But Internal gears, Sturmey Archer, Rolloff etc. are not covered. No SRAM or Campagnolo. But if you know what you are doing to begin with this is a good refresher. March 2021 — It is getting better... ### 4/5 — No Audio *2020-04-18* Recently downloaded; now using for the first time. There is no audio for the videos. I am not experiencing similar problems with other apps. Update: Customer service contacted me quickly and suggested I check the mute switch. D’oh! That did the trick. **Developer response:** This problem has been resolved. The user had the mute switch on the side of their phone in the mute position whilst playing the videos. The app works perfectly. Thanks for supporting the app MTB Mitch. ### 5/5 — Great Bike Maintenance App!!! *2025-02-26, version 1.1.9* Great bike maintenance/repair app!!! I love that it has pictures & videos along with written instructions. Very detailed information! ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2024-05-06, version 1.1.9* Brilliant app, spent a fortune getting my bike serviced after taking it back the gears still weren’t right, going to do it myself now ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Boss *2023-03-07, version 1.1.9* As much as I am learning more about my bike I always seem to be on at people asking questions. This eliminates that. Clear videos in every category just so helpful and always on you. practical just to watch on a journey for information on anything upcoming to do with your bike. ### 5/5 — Pocket guide *2023-03-02, version 1.1.9* What can I say…. A great app to have in your pocket, and the videos are a great way to see ‘how to’ information, there’s a list of tools needed and clear precise information. Keep the updates coming….. you’ve got me out of trouble more than once, thanks. ### 5/5 — Useful Novice Maintenance Guide *2023-02-25, version 1.1.9* I’m a qualified MIAS Bike Maintainer, I’ve had the app for about two years and it’s great, pitched at a really good level for people wanting to maintain their own bike(s) with useful info and really easy to understand videos. I would definitely recommend this app ### 5/5 — Bicycle maintenance *2023-01-29, version 1.1.9* Downloaded this and I’m so impressed by the content , I try to do all my own maintenance and this app will benefit me no end. The explanation and attention to detail is second to none. Shall be recommending it to all my cycling friends ### 5/5 — First class app. *2022-12-03, version 1.1.9* Well, look no further, for the cyclists out there this is a must. Used more often than I would like but imagine being stuck in a no signal area. No YouTube, google etc. This app covers you! Even at home it’s a go to! And updated and current. Perfect. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-11-19, version 1.1.9* Although I haven’t used this app extensively yet, on the times I have it has been excellent. Easy to follow with great explanations. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Very detailed and easy to understand *2022-11-09, version 1.1.9* Helped me a lot in fixing my bike and now I can save y money!!!! Thumbs up !!!! ### 5/5 — Superb App *2022-10-31, version 1.1.9* I found this app by accident and I am so glad I did. It details everything perfectly for a non mechanical person like me and has even inspired me to try some maintenance on my bikes with no breakages! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
