Really Useful App

Very clear step by step instructions on how to adjust, maintain and repair your bike. Good photos and diagrams. And it’s always with you, on the phone.

Good info but app is soooo out of date.

This would be a 4-5 star rating if the devolpers weren't lazy and would update this app. App looks like I'm on an iPhone 4. If you're accepting money for an app then keep it up to date. Partly my fault, I should've seen it hadn't been updated in 4 years.

Can’t believe I paid for this

Working only online, so you could actually find better instructions on YouTube

Makes DIY bike maintenance a breeze

I used to have to rely on my bike shop for most all of my bike maintenance. And while there are still times when I’ll take my bike in to the shop, this app has helped me fix some basic issues when I simply couldn’t take it in to the shop. I just completed my first ever gear tune up, and I’m able to easily shift through all of my gears again! The instructions are clear and concise, and the pictures help a lot. A must have for DIY bike maintenance. Plus, by doing my tune up myself, I’ve covered the cost of this app several times over in just one sitting.

Just ok

Embarrassed I paid for this app. Absolutely nothing special about it. Some videos would've been more helpful in this descriptions are just mediocre. Doesn't do a good job addressing subtle variations between different manufacturers. Don't waste your money.
