### 1/5 — You want a review?

*2023-05-04, version 3.1.1*

Please stop pestering me to rate and write a review. I can’t be on the app for 30 seconds without 3 requests for a review. You want a review, well you get one.

### 1/5 — Not ready for general use.

*2022-11-17, version 3.0.2*

Constantly crashes. Removed the app and redownloaded. It does not allow me to answer the questions. Crashed again.

### 1/5 — Technical problems

*2021-06-02, version 2.5.1*

It’s mandatory to fill out your profile to use app and I ran into numerous technical problems just filling out profile. I finally just removed app from phone

### 2/5 — super buggy

*2023-01-26, version 3.0.12*

seems to be super buggy. not saving throwing errors when creating a ride over cell data. seems to be more reliable over wifi

### 3/5 — Seems ok

*2022-03-08*

Seems ok if the community catches on

Have to sign in every time I open the app. No Face ID option. That’s annoying. Several profile pics I chose kept rotating 90 degrees after saving. Another annoyance. 

Haven’t used it much to rate much more. But those annoyances are def worth minus 2 stars.

### 4/5 — Love it.

*2023-08-18*

I love this app in place of having to search for rides on Strava. It eliminates the need to search and join several clubs that you may not (want to) be an active member of. And even for rides that don’t belong to clubs that people wouldn’t necessarily see on Strava anyway. 
I wish the app didn’t refresh and start you over from the top anytime you leave the app; even if for a second. I’d also like the option to save or star rides without the need to chose whether I’ll be attending that particular ride. Otherwise, it’s great.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review and feedback.

### 5/5 — A place for all ride

*2026-07-09*

This app will connect you to all the rides in town!

### 5/5 — Love This App

**Developer response:** Thank you! 👍

### 5/5 — Chasing Watts

*2025-10-09*

We at Bike the Woodlands encourage all that plan group rides to post on Chasing Watts.

It’s becoming ubiquitous here. By posting group rides on Chasing Watts, we are building a more cohesive cycling community here.

**Developer response:** Thank you. 👍

### 5/5 — Best cycling app!

*2025-08-23*

I’ve been riding groups for years, and this app is a GAME CHANGER. Now I can find new groups, at home or on the road, and I always know what to expect. Every cyclist should have this app, and should be using it to create group rides of their own or find great ones nearby to join! I hope this thing blows up and everyone uses it. Move over Strava (Cycling)!

### 5/5 — Exactly the app I’ve wanted for years. Well done!

*2025-08-08*

As a road cyclist, this is SO needed. I hope enough ride organizers pick it up so I can use this to find group rides wherever I go!

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-04-09, version 4.1.1*

Use it all the time

### 5/5 — Must Have App for Group Rides

*2025-01-16*

If you’re a cyclist that likes to ride with others, you really need this app. Whether you do routine weekly rides with friends or a club, or for planning unique rides with different routes or in different locations, this app allows you to plan your route, chat about details and to even see how the weather will impact your ride. It also lets you easily see the planned route and to transfer it to your bike computer. 

As someone who lives in the Houston area where Chasing Watts began and probably has its greatest concentration of users, it’s the best way for me to know about rides around town. If you’re in an area where the app is not used much, you should review the app using Houston as your location just so you can see what is possible. To my knowledge there is not anything else available that puts all the information you need to plan a ride in one place like Chasing Watts. Additionally the app is constantly being refined with additional functionality. Well done!

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to write a great review.  Much appreciated!

### 5/5 — Wanna ride?

*2025-01-08, version 4.0.8*
