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

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.

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. 👎🏼
Puppy
I like the program for tracking rides and tracking total km just wish when I open on my iPad it would be full screen
Not Worth It
great idea, terrible execution. doesn’t take into account any pertinent information from google or any other service, it will try to take you through impassible “roads” or through completely closed construction areas. not a good app at all, especially since you have to pay for it. complete waste of money.

Program is not ready for use
Cardo ride is not ready for public use. Even when selecting 3D, it reverts to something that resembles a pencil drawing that is impossible to follow in busy traffic. You should not be charging for this version.
Good idea, but frustratingly limited
Using the pro (paid) version.
The Cardo Ride app has some useful features, but there are frustrating limitations in the way it manages motorcycle profiles.
I accidentally deleted one of my bikes from my garage in app. There appears to be no way to restore the original bike profile, meaning the history associated with that motorcycle was lost. The only apparent solution is to create the bike again as a new profile.
Even more strangely, once a motorcycle profile exists, there doesn't appear to be any way to change its main/cover photograph. You can add photographs to the bike's gallery, but there is no apparent option to select one of those photographs as the primary Garage image. This is particularly odd because your own user profile photograph can be changed quite easily.
These seem like basic profile-management functions that should be straightforward.
Please add the ability to:
Edit or replace a motorcycle's primary/cover photograph.
Restore or recover a deleted motorcycle profile, including its history.
Properly manage photographs associated with a motorcycle.
Also as others have pointed out - privacy should be on by default for each trip and not be down to the user to manually change the settings for each ride.
The underlying app is useful, but these limitations make managing your Garage unnecessarily frustrating.
Hopefully Cardo can address them in a future update.

Son pas terrible
J’ai cru que c’est moi qui n’a pas su régler le son de mon CARDO , finalement non … c’est bien que la qualité n’est pas vraiment au rdv, sans parler des bugs fréquents …
What a waste of money
The unit doesn’t connect to my phone have never been able to take or make a phone call very disappointing for th $800 I spent on it won’t even charge now . I wouldn’t and don’t recommend this unit
Not that great.
App crashes a lot or freezes during the ride, forcing you to close the app completely and re-launch it and then your trip does not re-launch with the app. There currently is no option to avoid dirt roads or unpaved roads of any type so this app will take you down unpaved roads, dirt roads, minimum maintenance roads, and roads under construction. so if you’re mainly just a street rider this app is not gonna work that great for you.

The best app out there!
Edit: I beta tested CarPlay and now it’s fully released!!!! Huge kudos to the them. This app has everything I need in a navigation app. Groups….curvy routes….auto loop generation…..importing and exporting….3d ride reviews….AWESOME!!
Response from developer
Hi IAMRAINBIRD! Thank you very much for your great feedback and the praise for our features like groups, curvy routes, and 3D previews. We have some great news: Apple CarPlay is now officially available with our latest update! Our development team has successfully integrated this feature, so you can now leave your phone in your pocket and mirror Cardo Ride directly onto your bike's display. No need to run two apps simultaneously anymore. Give it a spin on your next ride, and if it works just as you hoped, we would be thrilled if you would consider upgrading your rating. Ride safe! 🏍️
Review before you allow me to see the app?
Asked for a review before I was even able to look at the app.
Very pleased

Response from developer
Hi madboy1200! Thanks for the awesome feedback and the 4 stars! We’re stoked to hear that you’re very pleased with "Cardo Ride". 🏍️🔥 Since we always want to improve our line through the corners: Is there anything specific missing that would turn this into a perfect 5-star ride for you? Let us know at support@cardoride.com, or just keep enjoying the asphalt. Ride safe and catch you on the road! 🏍️
Needs to work the bugs out
Cannot control volume on app. Could not hear directions. It had me turn down a dead end street. It totally missed a detour that was not temporary. Took me onto main drag during “curvy” ride. There was some delay in directions too
No carplay
While Cardo Ride has worked great for my trip planning and tracking I discovered it does not work with my recently purchased CarPlay screen.
Please add Apple CarPlay

The one thing it’s missing is CarPlay connectivity. I keep my phone in my pocket and I’m tired of running two apps all the time.
5 stars once implemented.
PS. I emailed the dev team.

Best motorcycle app
I tried Calimoto, Rever and Detecht - and Cardo Ride is by far with the best routing and navigation.
Limited App
The application software is very limited in the functionality
Cardo, good! Route directing, awful!
Love that it’s part of Cardo, I really want to use it. After planning a circular route and following it for 30 mins, there’s a road closure. I don’t turn off as the route says, I carry on. For some reason, this app sees that as a chance to RESET THE ENTIRE ROUTE and send me somewhere else entirely. This happens every time I do a circular route, if I go the wrong way just once it resets the route length, time, locations visited, all of it. It’s unusable! I just want to be navigated back to the route I was on, not have another one planned that won’t loop me back to where I started!
