Poor in Europe
Stephen Hawking fans only
When you pause a ride it does not return
I and riding in Europe with a friend. We up loaded the same source GPX files and everyday the route on my app was different to my friends
Over 5 days of riding we have constantly been diverted in to urban developments away from rural riding!! Do not use this app as it has not been fully developed
No return to planned rides button
Better than Rever
Just not as good as less costly options
Mediocre at best
Route generation poor
Useless app very buggy
Response from developer
Hi Pete, thanks for taking the time to explain what happened. We’re really sorry your first day ended like this, especially on a 7-day trip. The petrol station routing and the crash while saving the ride both sound like issues we need to investigate. Please contact us at support@calimoto.com with the details of the ride and your device, and we’ll take a closer look.

Great app and back up service.
will sign you up regardless
Response from developer
Hi, we understand why receiving that email was concerning. A subscription is not started without confirmation, and deleting your calimoto account does not automatically cancel a subscription. Please contact us at support@calimoto.com so we can check where the trial was started and help you cancel it correctly before any charge occurs. Best regards,

Potential but Limited
It crashes too many times and if you have a poor signal it just means you don’t use it for return journeys which kind of makes it redundant for me.
I switched off the renewal subscription on my devices on to find it renewed because I hadn’t switched it off on the website login! Wasn’t impressed by that. Reached out but was told no refund. I’ve been trying to get my monies worth for year two subscription but in all honesty, I want to use it but it really just feels dated for only have one route suggestion and then you have to pray that when you reach the destination that you have a signal to “complete and replan” your journey back home without it just crashing.
What a shame but hope these guys keep on pushing it forward.

Hi Ella, thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that calimoto hasn’t been as reliable as you expected, especially when you actually want to depend on it while out riding. Regarding poor signal, you can download offline maps in advance with Premium, so navigation can continue even without mobile coverage. The crashes you describe shouldn’t be happening though, and we’d really like to investigate them. If you’re willing, please contact us at support@calimoto.com with some details about your device and the affected rides. We also appreciate your feedback about A-to-B planning and the subscription experience. There’s clearly room for us to do better, and feedback like yours helps us understand where the biggest frustrations are. Thanks for sticking with us and for still hoping to see calimoto move forward. 🏍️
Great routes
Good app,
My subscription renewed automatically after one year, and I contacted support immediately after noticing the charge. I hadn’t intended to continue the subscription and requested a goodwill refund within days of the renewal.
Despite explaining the situation, and despite not intending to use the renewed subscription, my request was rejected with what appeared to be a standard copy-and-paste response.
The app itself is good and for the 12 month I used was great, but customer service and flexibility towards loyal users were very disappointing. I expected much better.
Navigating is questionable
The first ride was a 120klm loop on twisty roads and no dirt roads. So when I arrived at the 70klm mark it wanted to take me on a 40klm dirt road! I had to double back to another town about 20klm back. This area had no mobile coverage at all.
2nd attempt today and 110klm loop with no motorways or toll roads! Guess what it took me onto the motorway/toll road for 35klm?
Real problem if you actually rely on the algorithm to not take you on the roads you’ve explicitly told it too.
More work needed I don’t think I’ll be subscribing

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. We can understand how frustrating this is, especially when you've specifically chosen to avoid dirt roads, motorways and toll roads. calimoto should of course take your route preferences into account, so we'd really like to take a closer look at what happened on these two rides. Please send us the affected routes at support@calimoto.com so our team can investigate them. Thanks for giving calimoto a try and for taking the time to let us know what went wrong. We really appreciate the feedback and hope we can improve your experience.
The essential biker app
Phenomenal!!
Would be AMAZING to be able to adjust the windiness mid trip. Only complaint. Otherwise, money extremely well spent.
