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. ### 3/5 — Don’t care about elevation change *2023-05-19, version 1.6.1* Couldn’t care less about elevation change, wish there was a setting that will only track climbing… or if there is, I have yet to find it in settings ### 4/5 — Auto pause *2023-04-03, version 1.6.1* I like the app. However, I would appreciate having a setting to automatically pause and resume a ride during a workout. ### 3/5 — nur englisch? *2023-01-29* Kann man die Sprache auf deutsch umstellen? ### 4/5 — Bike Tracks *2022-03-16, version 1.5.6* Love the App, also use Ski Tracks in the winter. Please add Heart Rate and I will give the App 5-Stars! ### 3/5 — Background refresh? *2022-01-18, version 1.5.6* Will not work and unable to “refresh” ### 4/5 — Bien mais quand le français ? 🇫🇷 *2021-09-24* L’application est bien, mais il manque surtout la langue française ce qui est fort dommage. ### 4/5 — Cool *2020-07-13* I bought this app after few years of using Ski Tracks. I cannot rate it as 5stars because I’ve expected to see same functionality for my Apple Watch as in Ski track (one of the best from my point of view) ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-07-02, version 1.5.1* I’ve been using since 2016 and have about 9000 miles tracked, both on pavement and mountain biking. Does all I need it to do except pick me up after I crash ### 5/5 — Очень хорошее приложение *2020-06-23* Но Сломалась синхронизации с программой здоровье. Переустановил и все заработало, лучшего приложения пока не нашел. Самое главное без рекламы! ### 3/5 — Not working *2020-06-17, version 1.5.0* Fails to locate my location. I’m not in the Alpa. ### 5/5 — A good app with great support *2020-05-04, version 1.4.1* Clean UI and simple to use with great depth of features. It’s a nice way to log ride without the baggage of other apps—Strava and Map My Run. The support is phenomenal for a low-cost app. I had a couple questions and they took care of me quickly. Highly recommended!! ### 4/5 — Needs motor cycle option *2020-04-27, version 1.4.1* I use it to track dirt bike and dual sport rides, but the closest choice it has is mountain biking. Works great, would rate 5 stars if there were a motorcycle option. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — My ride 11/16 *2021-11-17, version 1.5.4* The time and distance are way off. Is your app working? Thanks Mike Wronski ### 1/5 — Pas de sélection de langage dans cette application *2020-05-07* Dommage que l’on ne puisse pas choisir le language dans l’application ### 1/5 — Photos *2020-03-21, version 1.4.1* Cannot I get camera to open ### 1/5 — Im Gegensatz zu Skitracks schlecht *2019-05-07* Skitracks nutze ich seit Jahren und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Auch lässt sich Skitracks über die iWatch steuern, was hier leider nicht der Fall ist ### 1/5 — Real problem *2019-01-09, version 1.3.1* Reported 2 bugs in Oct 2018 and had a response quickly that they were working on the issues and a new version would come out in a few days It is now 3 months later and no update. Issues is incorrect vertical height measurement and speed shows incorrectly on the Apple Watch. There is also no automatic stop feature which makes it impossible to accurately measure bike time. It really is too bad as the app would be really good if only the bugs were fixed. ### 1/5 — Live speed off *2015-09-07, version 1.2.3* Live speed is not accurate. Can't really tell what speed you're going at. One second you're at 9.9 next you're at 26 than back down to 15.4. It's ALL over the place. I've been using this for about a month but it's horrible. Save your money till they fix it. ### 1/5 — History *2015-01-16, version 1.2* Use this app a lot and find it really useful! However I've also lost all my historic rides 😭 ### 1/5 — Not working *2015-01-02, version 1.1* Just paid and download and the apps keep going back to main screen and froze. I want my money back ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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!! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great touring companion *2023-05-20, version 1.6.1* This app’s Open Street Map integration made it an incredible companion on a long cycle tour through Europe. While there are always more features that would be nice to see, it was just enough with live location that we could reliably use it to navigate the maze of trails down the Rhine valley. I’d only ever used it for stage tracking and was pleasantly surprised to find that crucial piece of my navigation puzzle! ### 5/5 — Feature request - add calories burnt *2022-05-29, version 1.5.7* Could you please add calories burnt stats? ### 5/5 — Письмо *2021-05-14* Доброго времени суток! Программа идеальная. Вот только не хватает русского языка. ### 5/5 — Provide edit feature? *2021-05-12, version 1.5.3* Hi! I have occasionally left my ski tracks and bike tracks apps on and driven off. Of course, this skews the information of my exercise day. Is there a way to be able to edit the track after it is finished, and remove /clip away/ the extraneous data? That would be really cool. I look forward to you letting me know. Thanks ### 5/5 — incredible app! *2021-02-21, version 1.5.3* Never the noticed the ‘trim’ function before; is that new? It’s the most incredibly useful thing, for cutting off those segments when I forgot to turn off the recording and drove away. Fantastic app, made that much better! ### 5/5 — Everything you need *2020-07-27, version 1.5.1* This app is fantastic! It has every stat you could possibly want. I use it for cycling and hiking. And the gps locator was perfect when on a hike along the PCT we found an abandoned campfire still smoldering with flames spreading. After 200 trips to the nearest pond to fill water bottles we hiked miles to get cell service. I was able to contact the forest service with the exact coordinates who later arrived to be sure it was 100% extinguished. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
