### 4/5 — Missing a few minor features that would make this unbeatable.

*2024-03-15*

App is brilliant but my main gripe is the missing ability to manually drop a point. Sometimes the pathing takes you on a huge detour to get you somewhere 5 meters away. Strava has the ability to do this, and being able to force a point somewhere the app doesn’t recognise as being accessible would be amazing. This is also frustrating as areas of mapping are not up to date with the app. With routes being in places the add doesn’t recognise. 

Second would be to clearly display usable / accessible routes as sometimes you only see routes when you drop a point in random areas. 

Otherwise a brilliant app that I’ve paid for 👍

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2023-10-30*

A very easy tool to organize and plan routes. Wish there were folders.

### 5/5 — The Perfect App

*2023-09-12, version 1.11*

I was looking for an app for bike routes and I love every aspect of this app. I would rate this as one of the most ideal apps altogether.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2022-11-19, version 1.11*

A very easy tool to organize and plan routes. Wish there were folders.

### 5/5 — User friendly

*2022-05-15*

I like the app and what is important to me is it is user-friendly.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-04-07*

Excellent - easy to use, accurate and quick.

### 5/5 — Just great

*2022-01-05*

Very easy to use and maps are excellent

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-09-28*

This app is great just what I have been looking for tried many others, this app is just for planning your route and giving you distance and topography.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2021-09-25*

This app has proved invaluable for plotting my bike routes around London, where I live. I’m able easily to upload them to my Wahoo bike computer and simply follow the map en route. Plotting and editing a route can be a bit of a fiddle but it’s worth the effort. I’ve had some excellent rides using this system.

### 5/5 — Riding a Brompton

*2021-09-24*

A really useful app. I definitely recommend it.

### 5/5 — My Companion

*2021-09-23, version 1.10*

I relied on Bike Routes to get me from Land’s End to John O’Groats. It was excellent.

### 5/5 — Perry

*2021-09-15*

Love this app.  It helped me create alternate routes for our Vegas Iron half Ironman (Half Irin -Full Crazy) event coming up this Sep 18 in Vegas.  Truly it cracked the code for use.

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2021-04-12, version 1.9.5*

Simple, efficace, une application parfaite que j’attendais de trouver depuis un moment ! 
Idéal pour créer son propre parcours et obtenir efficacement les données de base (km, tps, dénivelés) et option pour éviter ou favoriser les dénivelés d’un itinéraire.

### 5/5 — Barrow boy

Super app

### 5/5 — Best routing

*2020-08-06*

I have tried various cycle routing applications and find that this gives me the best options routes for my requirements.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2022-06-28*

After downloading it directs me to 'read licence', but THERE IS NO WAY TO GET BACK TO THE APP!!! Don't even try!! I'd give it negative 5 stars if I could!

### 1/5 — Non-responsive

*2021-09-08*

My MacBook Pro meets the specs stated. App is non-responsive. Too bad.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t convert

*2021-05-08*

All that I get on my text when I share a route is a bunch of gibberish. Doesn’t work !

### 1/5 — No cycle routes?

*2020-07-23, version 1.9.2*

There don’t seem to be any dedicated cycle tracks and paths! The only routes available are on roads in the UK. Shame as it looks pretty good😕

### 1/5 — No contact email...purchased app but not able to use

*2020-06-05*

I cannot find any way of contacting developer to say I have not been upgraded. Just link to website and faqs. If I don't get a response to this review I will have to report.

**Developer response:** Dear Abixyz,

The support email is shown on the website, and you can also contact support by pressing ‘Send Feedback’ on the main menu in the app. However if you cannot find it please email us at:
support@refinedinsight.com and we will be happy to help resolve your issue.

Kind Regards,
Bike Routes Support

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2020-04-19, version 1.9.1*

Doesn’t do anything on the free version. Not sure what the paid version is like.

### 2/5 — Just doesn’t work.

*2020-07-17*

It seems to have gained bugs that render it useless. It’s pretty much impossible to plan a route without putting waypoints every 300m or less, otherwise it automatically assumes you want to do a slalom through back streets. Utterly maddening. It’s allegedly had a bug fix done recently but it hasn’t worked at all. My version is fully up to date.

### 3/5 — Unfortunately not quite complete

*2024-08-01, version 1.12*

The app uses Brouter, which is great. However, routes around 400 km are not calculated, according to the error the marker is too far away. The route is not recalculated for subsequently added no-go areas (or I have not found the function). I also miss the detailed settings for the Brouter routing profiles.
Otherwise, this would be the app for iPad that I have been missing for a long time.

### 3/5 — fun

*2021-09-11*

good fun

### 3/5 — Simplicity is good

*2019-12-05*

The simplicity is awesome on this makes it really easy to use. There is just two points that I can’t get over is the lack of undo button, I had to completely remake a ride because one of the way points was off due to the app choosing a road I didn’t want so please add in an undo button.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-08-10*

Works great helped me find safe ways to get to my destinations safely on my bicycle in Bangkok

### 5/5 — Love it besides some flaws

*2025-04-16, version 1.12*

Really love the app. Simple and easy to use. Switchable hill mode is great. Also duplicating and editing works well. One annoying flaw is that the preview of the route in the dashboard overview is MIRRORED over the map in both iOS and macOS versions, this should be corrected. Otherwise the greatest bike route planning app on earth. <3

### 5/5 — Simply good!

*2024-11-17, version 1.12*

I was looking for a good and easy to use planning app for my bike routes. I use the avoid mode often. The waypoints are easily set. The alternatives can be chosen quickly. You can revert an redo. It has all you need but no superfluous stuff. I just love it.

### 5/5 — Très simple d’utilisation

*2024-07-06, version 1.12*

Application très simple et intuitive.
Il serait utile de pouvoir rajouter des way points sur les routes mais globalement c’est un excellent outil de planification avec possibilité d’exporter des fichiers gpx

### 5/5 — Not really free at all

*2024-03-21*

Advertised as free but I have managed to use up the 3 free bike routes before I’ve even taken it out. Not impressed

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-02-12*

This App is so easy to use and is great to keep a record and history of rides…love it.

### 5/5 — Bikeroutes great for planning

*2024-01-28*

This app is surprisingly easy to use and works with Australian map and location data.

I have already recommended this app to a friend who does a lot of cycling.

About to pass on details to another who does group riding on long distance rides and like planning.

Thank you

### 5/5 — Fabulous Routing App

*2024-01-20*

Love the app, makes creating safe cycling routes in Uk and Majorca so easy

### 5/5 — Top rate route planning

*2023-11-11*

Can’t do without this excellent app. It contains all the necessary information for route planning.

### 5/5 — LOVE Bike Routes for creating my bike rides.

*2023-11-04*

Have been using this app on my iPAD Pro for years now, and when I reached out to the team, they were very responsive about my ideas.  Super easy to use lets me setup some GREAT rides in Sonoma County California.  Right in the middle of the Wine Country!   

Great app guys and thanks!  

Bud
