### 5/5 — Still the best

*2025-10-04, version 7.28*

I have been using this app for at least 13 years and it is still indispensable. My bikes only seem to need repairs when I am out of cell service and this app saves me every time. The pictures are the best and the written instructions are easy to follow.

### 5/5 — Invaluable resource

*2025-09-10, version 7.28*

I use this app constantly for my bike repairs and road trip planning. I love how comprehensive and accessible is all the information!

### 5/5 — Useful offline

*2025-03-30, version 7.28*

Always available repair guidance - no network signal required.

### 5/5 — Secret bien gardé

*2024-05-25, version 7.27*

L’algorithme pour les vêtements est des plus intéressants, précis et efficace.

### 1/5 — Arrêt de la synchronisation

*2023-12-27, version 7.27*

Le développeur vient d’annoncer l’arrêt de la synchronisation de l’application ***sans possibilité de transférer les données ni de les exporter dans un format ouvert***. Au mépris total des utilisateurs.

### 4/5 — Ya es hora que se actualice.

*2023-11-08, version 7.26*

Estoy muy contento con la aplicación en general, pero con iOS 17 falla la sincronización con dropbox en iPhone, y no estaría de mas que se pudiese haber copias de respaldo automáticamente en iCloud. 
Haría falta un rediseño y más actualizaciónes. 
Por lo demás, aplicación muy útil.

### 1/5 — Basica quasi ovvia

*2023-06-12, version 7.26*

App che non porta a quasi nessun vero consiglio che non sia ovvio o facilmente reperibile in rete. Devo ancora capire a cosa serva veramente.

### 5/5 — A great resource, for weather, repair, and maintenance

*2023-04-22*

Half of my ride group uses this app for planning what to wear, each time we ride. Particularly the 10,000+ mile per year cyclists. 

It is easy to see what combination of clothing will keep you warm, from 30F on up, in roughly 5 degree increments.

The maintenance section covers tasks from helmet and rider fittings to free hub overhauls. 

Then you can configure your bike in the app to log your own maintenance.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-03-16, version 7.26*

The this app! Have this app from when it was first on the App Store.! Really awesome that I can have my bike set up and keep log of maintenance. I have had app on android and iOS!

### 4/5 — Great again today

*2022-05-27, version 7.26*

I don’t repair my bike myself every time. But today I had to adjust my front derailleur and the app told me exactly how to do it with nice pictures and everything is working great now!

I reach for this when needed and over the years it has proved its worth more than almost any other real world app. Thanks!
