It’s free but doesn’t work, shame 😏

Good free app

However the setting and editing of routes is rather clunky, and I can’t work out how to add remove way points after you’ve pressed plan route, or edit their order.

Best Cycle app for London

I’ve cycled in London for 15 years. And I found this app to be consistently better than any alternatives. I have always been super impressed by the quality and safeness of the suggested routes. The option to move between fastest, balanced, and quiet route is great.
Best to use the base map as Apple vector map for navigation. It takes one or two goes to get used to it, especially placing the start and finish points and saving the waypoint.

Great idea - impossible UI

The idea is great but the map is impossible to look at - how anyone can navigate using this is beyond me. The interface is incredibly unintuitive. The base idea is terriffic so I am rooting for you guys and the next version

Is this abandonware?

It doesn’t play nice on iPad for planning, and it feels quite outdated on iPhone.

Will apple remove it in the coming cull?
