It is better than most on iPhone 7. ### 2/5 — To use app they demand the right to constantly track you *2025-04-18, version 1.4.2* The app requires location to be always on so the app can track you all of the time or it will not work at all. If you select to use location only while using the app it won’t work. Why is it necessary to track people all the time? Other apps allow gos tracking only when using the apps. Why can’t these guys do the same??? Must be a reason why they want to track everything we do. I’ve switched to other apps which work properly and don’t require tracking people unless using the app. Its a bad app because you can’t use gps only when using the app and you have to accept being tracked all the time. ### 2/5 — Cannot use gps unless location always on 24/7 *2023-05-25, version 1.4.1* Works well on iphone but forget about using it on an ipad. The app requires location to be always on so the app can track you all of the time or gps will not work at all. If you select to use location only while using the app it won’t work. ### 5/5 — Great bike app *2022-11-08, version 1.4.1* I love what this app can track for mountain bike riders. I can compare to last week, last month and last year. Keeps total of miles and time along with best times and distance ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-11-08, version 1.4.1* Very accurate according to my Apple Watch and I really like the pause feature when you have to stop at a light ### 5/5 — Bike app *2022-08-23, version 1.4.0* Should operate with location in “ only while using “duchene 7 ### 5/5 — Glad to have this however,…. *2022-07-27, version 1.4.0* I’d be even MORE glad if you could possibly increase the font size of the song title currently in play; there’s certainly room for a larger font. And since I’m writing a review here it would be REALLY even better to have play controls for the music perhaps a next and previous buttons. THANKS! In a future revision, would it be possible to export to gpx files? I had an oddity happen this morning. The app kept telling me there was no GPS signal but it was clearly showing up with other apps. I rebooted my iPhone and all is well now. Just thought I’d give you and FYI ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2022-05-31, version 1.3.6* More features than I need and easy to use! ### 5/5 — User friendly *2022-05-09, version 1.3.6* The app is very good, easy to track progress. I wish it recorded maximum speed. ### 5/5 — Best app for biking ever! *2022-04-30, version 1.3.6* This app allows me to keep track of every ride I make and shows me where all I went too. I love it! ### 5/5 — Super great app *2022-03-24, version 1.3.6* I have a wireless cateye strada that I’ve used for years. This FREE app is far superior to that. Super easy to use and customize, even writes data to appleHealth if you want. Provides all the information and more than I was looking for and needed. Total distance did not quite match up to cateye, but I can live with that. The voice prompts were great and kept me from slacking off during the ride. I was flabbergasted with all the details and customization in this FREE app! Thank you for this. ### 5/5 — This one is it *2022-03-20, version 1.3.6* I have tried almost every bike running walking app out there. I really believe this is the best for me. It has just enough features without going over board. I ride about 10 miles every other day. I walk just about every day. I like the big buttons, the data viz, the mapping. For me this works. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Bike App *2021-12-04, version 1.3.6* Nice app tracks everything effortlessly! ### 5/5 — Works as advertised with no bugs! *2021-11-16, version 1.3.6* Great little app! I plan to purchase when the trial is over. The other one I tried would not stay connected when my phone was in my pocket. This one does! ### 5/5 — Bets App ❤️❤️ *2021-08-04, version 1.3.6* Very nice interesting app, works very well , good biker companion … And its free and no stupid ads !!!! Thank you devaloper !! ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-05-12, version 1.3.6* Very easy to use ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a good first impression. *2023-09-19, version 1.4.1* After slogging it for nearly an hour I was pretty disappointed to find that it had lost me after 0.03km. GPS was good and tracking set to always. I was in a residential area so not off the beaten track. First time using and don’t trust that it won’t do the same thing again. Off to a different app for me. ### 1/5 — Requires “Always” access to location services, not just while you’re using it. *2022-10-24, version 1.4.1* Requires “Always” access to location services, not just while you’re using it. ### 1/5 — Poor User Interface *2021-03-14, version 1.3.3* This might be good if the U.I. wasn’t so confusing and hard to read. Causes more rides to be lost than recorded. Audible progress updates are so faint as to be inaudible. (Could be problem w/my iPhone I admit). Needs a large, easy to read, unambiguous indication that the app is running or not. Instead has tiny arrow with a ring that disappears in half a sec. Is it running or not? Who knows? Might be. Limited features in free version but with these display shortcomings I’m not motivated to pay for more of the same. ### 1/5 — Don’t... *2020-12-05, version 1.3.2* Don’t waste your time. I downloaded the app and works for 3 days after that the GPS never have signal and btw I didn’t touch any of the settings. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-10-29, version 1.3.2* Hard to navigate and not able get the speed or distance travelled. Worked only once. More importance is given to optional functions such as music. ### 1/5 — Make you always use your location *2020-07-19, version 1.2.4* Giving this app 1 star because in order to use you must have location services on always for this app. As opposed to only while in use. App does not protect your privacy. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-07-16, version 1.2.4* This app was awesome when I first tried it. Better then most of the other apps I tried. It tracked my bike ride and saved to apple’s health app. However, about a month ago it stopped working. It would randomly stop tracking my ride — sometimes it stopped recording the specifics (ie only the start and endpoints and show my path as the bird flies) and other times, not record anything at all. I hope they fix the app. ### 1/5 — Privacy intrusive *2020-05-25, version 1.2.3* Requires access to location even when not running. NOT ACCEPTABLE ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2020-02-13, version 1.2.0* Did a 50 min cycle it counted the time but no calories distance etc ### 1/5 — ZERO STARS *2019-12-25, version 1.2.0* this App bites. It shut off in the middle of my ride... AGAIN. I cannot trust it. It won’t upload to Facebook either. There are TOO MANY APPS LIKE THIS ONE. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very user friendly *2026-07-17, version 1.4.2* I’ve used the Bike.app for the last four years and have no issues. The various parameters are useful and easy to manage. Overall very pleased with upgraded version and the one time fee. ### 5/5 — Great stats - Smart functionality *2025-08-19, version 1.4.2* Great app! It is full of data that I use on every ride. I have a request: Allow users to label routes and then use that to compare to previous results on the same route. I use six regular routes, and the comparison feature isn’t useful unless I ran the same route the last time. This label could also be part of the start-up routine, where you select a labeled route and the feedback could give your mile-by-mile status against previous runs. ### 5/5 — Everything I need! *2025-08-12, version 1.4.2* This app has everything I need. Time/mile split/ best mile time. For solitary cyclists that don’t care to share in a community information sharing platform, this is perfect. I wear my Fitbit along with it to get heart rate and calorie burn. The best part is that it’s free! I find that amazing for such a helpful app. Thank you to the developer. ### 5/5 — Ultimate tracker *2025-07-13, version 1.4.2* My wife and I have been using this app for years. Very accurate tracking. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Recumbent Perfection *2025-04-05, version 1.4.2* Luv this app! I’ve needed it to track my rides. Just a 71yr old post stroke health nut. ### 5/5 — Best app for biking ever! *2024-10-02, version 1.4.1* This app allows me to keep track of every ride I make and shows me where all I went too. I love it! Highly recommended for anyone who loves cycling. ### 5/5 — JSF *2024-08-07* I’ve used the app for two years and find it to be excellent in all aspects. I’ve had no issues at all. Strongly recommend trying it out as I did and then went with the upgrade. ### 5/5 — You need this app if you… *2024-06-16, version 1.4.1* I wanted to lose weight and get fit. This app helped me to visualize my progress with miles, speed and much more. ### 5/5 — Very practical! *2023-08-30, version 1.4.1* The feature of drawing and saving the GPS maps is a tremendous help for daily consistency when comparing the distances. The voice alert with milestones is also an excellent feature. ### 5/5 — Works for Me *2023-07-05, version 1.4.1* Truly enjoying this respectful of privacy bike app. Does all that I need. No complaints nor problems. Thanks Mr. Saiger! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
