### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-26, version 2.4.1*

I really like this as a great alternative to Strava. It does everything that I need, no AI or social nonsense.

### 1/5 — No warning, no instructions

*2026-08-24, version 2.4.1*

You call it new interface using icons.  I call it make your riding partners wait while you look for the Start button.

Please warn users that they will need to learn a new interface so we can study it BEFORE the next ride.

### 5/5 — RideALot

*2025-12-24, version 2.3.1*

The only 2 things I wish Bike Tracks had are (1) lock screen feedback /notifications like ski tracks(2) better ability to sort/filter rides . 

Otherwise it’s a great tool to track rides, miles and label rides. User since 2015!!

### 2/5 — Apple Watch

*2025-05-30, version 2.0.0*

Bel interface mais inutile puisque ne fonctionne pas si le téléphone n’est pas à proximité. La fonction montre est inutile.

### 4/5 — Second Screen Speed

*2025-05-10, version 2.0.0*

If you guys made the center adjustable to read out real time MPH instead of average, that would be a great feature.

### 4/5 — Needs better watch interface. Can you also add Pump Track?

*2025-04-26, version 2.0.0*

Great app would love to see it as a complication on my Apple Watch face.  I can’t get it to show up on any faces.  Also would love to see Pump Track and Dirt Jump added to activities. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Request

*2025-04-24, version 2.0.0*

Can we get a section for E-bikes? Seems unfair to others.

### 5/5 — Would love to see categories for E-biking!

*2024-08-30, version 1.8.1*

Long time user (since 2015). Great app, nice and simple with all the data needed!  

I would love to see additional activity categories added to the app for: E-Biking and E-Mountain Biking!

### 5/5 — Everything you need, and nothing you don’t

*2024-02-16, version 1.6.2*

I’ve used this software for years -  over a decade. I find it very user-friendly. Some of the others are over complicated and integrate sharing and social networking, which I’m not that interested in.

### 1/5 — Vertical tracking inaccurate

*2023-09-03, version 1.6.1*

I love the Ski Tracks app that came out first, and I bike a lot, so I got the bike app, but unfortunately, it does not track your vertical accurately, it appears to be doubling it. Not sure how to fix.
