Good but glitchy

I currently can’t change any of my profile or privacy settings because when I tap on my profile icon I just get a full screen “send an offer to a friend” ad and the app won’t let me move past it even if I tap the copy and send button. A.i. has tried to help me by offloading the app, restarting my phone, logging into the app on my laptop, tapping all over my screen to find the hidden X, changing the size of my screen font… you name it it’s tried and still the ####ing Ad fills my screen and I can’t get into my profile to make my account private or any other settings.

Can’t simply enter address properly

Why this app has so many positive reviews I sincerely don’t understand. They must be all fake because you can’t simply enter the address properly. Search by business name isn’t possible and address for some reason is shown twice in search and due to the length you can’t tell in which town it is. So for example, if you are looking to go to “15 Main St.” the address will show like 15 Main St., 15 Main St. and …” and you won’t see the town. This is ridiculously useless app. I have reinstalled it three times and nothing. And add on top of it that you are in the gloves. So to go somewhere, I need to find the business on the Google maps copy the address and paste here then. Why do I have to use another app to find the address? I wish I never paid the subscription.

Not a good ui

This is more of a social app than a route app it is hard, actually impossible to plan a mixed route where there may be freeway, and non freeway choices. I just gave them one more star because someone from cardo reached out to me to ask how the experience can be improved. More stars will come when it is what I need. Unless I make my own first.

Globalement Positif

L'usage de Cardo Ride s'avère globalement positif pour moi : Route GPS en Audio , écoute de ma musique , communication entre 2 motards proches ; Toutefois je trouve dommage que Cardo ait choisi le BlueTooth pour la communication entre motards , car , en montagne notamment , dès quelques centaines de mètres , de part et d'autre d'une courbe , les motards étant séparés par des rochers , ça coupe très vite ! Heureusement , la reconnection fonctionne bien , mais je voudrais savoir si une autre bande radio plus performante sur la distance efficace en montagne ne pourrait pas être choisie plutôt que le Bluetooth ?

Mais Bravo quand meme ! C'est déjà un énorme progrès ... à développer

Bonjour, merci beaucoup pour votre retour détaillé et pour vos encouragements ! Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciiez la navigation audio, la musique et la communication entre motards avec Cardo Ride. Vous avez raison, les environnements montagneux peuvent représenter un défi pour les technologies sans fil lorsque des obstacles comme des rochers ou des virages bloquent le signal. Nous apprécions vos remarques et les prenons en compte dans l’évolution du produit. Si vous souhaitez partager davantage de détails sur votre expérience, n’hésitez pas à m’écrire directement à christianv@cardosystems.com. Bonne route et merci de rouler avec Cardo Ride !

Operates

Trying to to figure out how to have Cardo work while Bluetooth to head unit. Is that possible (have Cardo connected to phone for GPS and head unit Bluetooth to play music) Maynor be possible?

Postcode support non existent

A mapping app that doesn’t take postcodes. Any. Not mine. Not my old house. Not a house from 10 years ago. The most basic requirement is missing. No idea about anything else because without a postcode the whole app is useless. Back to Waze which now has a motorbike mode. Refund requested.

Hello, thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience. Cardo Ride should support postcode searches, so we'd like to better understand what went wrong. If you're willing, please contact me directly at christianv@cardosystems.com with a few details about the postcode and region you were trying to search. This will help us investigate and improve the experience. With a better understanding of the issue, we hope we may have the opportunity to earn a second chance and a revised rating in the future.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the subscription model was disappointing for you. While Cardo Ride does offer a premium subscription, many features are already available in our free version. Beyond navigation, Cardo Ride is designed specifically for riders, with route discovery, ride tracking, community features, and tools to enhance the overall riding experience. We understand that Google Maps is a great navigation tool, but Cardo Ride aims to offer much more than navigation alone. If you decide to give Cardo Ride another chance, I'd be happy to hear more about your experience. Feel free to contact me directly at christianv@cardosystems.com. With a better understanding of your expectations, we hope we may have the opportunity to earn a second chance and a revised rating in the future.

Needs work

I live 20 miles north of Asheville NC, and when I try to plan a twisty route to anywhere on the other side of Asheville, it take me through downtown. All around Asheville are some of the best twisty roads in the country and the app take me through a stoplight at every block “twisty” route. Choosing winding produces the same route btw.

The worst routing I’ve ever used

This has to be the worst routing engine I’ve ever used, requiring you to add about a half dozen extra intermediate rides to try and get it to almost go in the right direction, and then there is no promise of it actually working then.

Use a different app, this app will send you bald way too soon

Response from developer

That sounds like a frustrating way to plan a ride—having to add multiple intermediate points just to get close to the route you intended defeats the purpose. We’d like to look into an example of where Cardo Ride sent you the wrong way; please email the route details (without any personal information) to support@cardoride.com so the team can investigate.

Ok but needs improvement

Overall good but needs improvements. Need it to display light, stop signs, etc

Cardo PackTalk Pro is absolutely what I needed and use

I originally had the Freecom 4X, upgraded to the 45mm kit and still felt like I was missing something. THEN Cardo comes out with Crash Detection and had to get to PackTalk Pro for my wife’s sanity and glad I did. Seamless, and the DMC it makes an absolute dream to ride along with new riders without having to worry about who has what Comm, etc. music sounds great, conversations come though clear and everyone can hear what I am saying. Great piece of tech and I’m 52 next week and wonder why we didn’t have this sooner! Great purchase with absolutely no regrets

What an upgrade story—going from the Freecom 4X to PackTalk Pro and finding the setup that lets you ride with more peace of mind is great to hear. We’re especially glad the DMC experience has made group rides with new riders feel seamless, while music and conversations stay clear. Happy early 52nd birthday, and here’s to many more great rides with no regrets!

Not what I expected.

Used the Google to get me to a location and decided to try this to get back. Lots of turns in towns, but roads were same as if I chose “No Highway “ with Google.

Great Tool but have some suggestions

This app is super useful if you like statistics. It keeps track of your speed distance time as well as little stuff like elevation change which I love to track. It tracks how often you ride and goes super detailed if you pay the subscription however it’s not necessary. Some suggestions I have would be number one rework the mapping part of things when it comes to designing routes. I use this app solely for ride tracking and not route planning as it tends to lag on rides and gets very confusing. Maybe even allow the ability to export to Apple and Google Maps after a route has been planned. Number 2 I would love to see a map blip to pair with the new public mesh feature. Essentially I’m suggesting a little rider icon to appear as it would with the already present pack ride system. The difference being the icon would appear on anyone who opts in. Creating a mini map style hud for riding. Long post but I like the app and can see alot of potential.

Connectivity is very unreliable

It’s aggravating and a joke amongst many riders that you’ll spend 5-10 minutes prior to a ride troubleshooting the product. It is up to date, connected to phone via Bluetooth and streaming from phone, yet app can’t find it. That says it all right there.

Planning is not as good as it could be

I’m planning a trip in September from Co Armagh to Witton castle and even putting waypoints Cardo says it’s too far and won’t let me plan it so I have to break it down into individual trips between stops, when I have done it for 11 years every year so I know it’s not too far. 👎🏼
