Good rides
Great cycle route planner
It’s made safe cycling possible for everyone and the quiet routing is exactly as advertised.
One small improvement I would like to see would be an option to use unpaved / gravel paths, as for users in rural areas this can significantly shorten the suggested route.
The unpaved paths are on the map, but the app currently routes around them.
I understand most people probably use the app in towns and cities rather than rural locations and may not have a mountain or gravel bike, which is why it would have to be a toggle within the route settings.
Would easily be 5 stars with this option as it’s the only thing missing at the moment.
4.5/5*

Update: allow unpaved roads is out! Give it a go and please send us feedback. Thank you for the kind words and the clear suggestion. You're right: at the moment the app routes around unpaved tracks, on the assumption that most riders are on road or hybrid bikes. In rural areas that can add a fair bit of distance. An "allow unpaved paths" option alongside the Quiet, Balanced and Direct route types is on our list. If you'd like to try it before release, drop us a line at support@cyclema.ps and we'll send you a TestFlight invite when it's ready. A route where the app went the long way round a track you'd happily ride would be useful too.
Good practical app!!!

Très bons itinéraires à vélo et support remarquable
J’apprécie également beaucoup l’intégration avec l’Apple Watch, qui me permet de garder mon iPhone dans mon sac et de suivre mon itinéraire directement au poignet.
J’ai rencontré un problème technique de reconnaissance de mon achat sur l’Apple Watch. Le support a été remarquablement réactif : après plusieurs échanges et tests, les développeurs ont identifié le problème, réalisé un correctif et publié très rapidement une mise à jour qui l’a résolu. Une qualité de support suffisamment rare pour être soulignée !
Quelques améliorations rendraient encore l’application plus complète. J’aimerais notamment pouvoir comparer plusieurs itinéraires alternatifs, un peu comme dans Plans d’Apple, avec pour chacun le dénivelé et, idéalement, des indications sur les aménagements cyclables empruntés. Cela permettrait de choisir facilement selon ses priorités : trajet le plus direct, parcours le plus plat ou itinéraire privilégiant les pistes cyclables.
Je n’ai pas encore suffisamment testé CycleMaps à la campagne pour donner un avis définitif sur cet usage, mais pour mes déplacements quotidiens à Paris, c’est actuellement l’application vélo que je préfère.

Merci infiniment, Laurence, pour cet avis si détaillé et bienveillant. Nous sommes ravis que CycleMaps vous accompagne au quotidien, et vos suggestions nous sont très précieuses. Votre soutien compte énormément pour notre petite équipe !
Great app
I find that the options provided are different to other apps, using routes that are more direct.
Also I’ve found so many short cuts by using this app that I would have never thought of before.
On the whole really good for cyclists, keep up the good work!!

Reliable Navigation for Cycling
The app improved a lot; a long-awaited feature became available with the latest release. The pan function, whilst approaching a crossing or other areas, allows for easy navigation through London’s traffic jungle.
———-
I have been using Google Maps for all my cycling and have got tired of misrouted or inconvenient navigation.
After a couple of trips with this app now, I’m more than happy to explore unfamiliar yet safe terrain in London. It's really fun to pass through parks and quiet side streets, detached from the traffic.
I will give 5 stars once a female voice navigation will be made available ;)
Update:
My feedback given to the developers is acknowledged, a night-day mode feature will coming soon :)
