Drops Routing

I used the app from Myrtle Beach SC to Chicago, followed Route 66 to LA, then to Denver and back hike to myrtle Beach in 21 days. Most days the app worked well. On about 6 days, when I stopped for about an hour, the route history would stop and when I checked it at the end of the day, from that point to my final stop, only a straight line appeared. Very frustrating when traveling Route 66.

Great app but no offline maps.

I really like this app but the lack of offline maps is a huge drawback. Really hope they add offline maps in the future.

Thanks a lot for the review and 5 stars! Ride safe and enjoy the road // Niklas at Detecht

Love it!

I love this app. I’m able to track all my rides and save them if there are routes, or portions of routes, that I want to go back to. Also I enjoy being able to see other people’s routes that they’ve saved and what they think about them. This is a good way to share and find great roads and great routes to ride.

Love this app

The only thing I would like to see is the ability to search for and add a destination without stopping a ride. Otherwise this is a great ride tracker. Use it often. Recommend always.

Crash detection

So I’m on the fence with this app. It does have some cool features and what not but the most concerning is the crash detection so I got in a motorcycle accident on the freeway, the crash detection was on the app running but failed to notify anybody and I was doing about 50 mph I am thankful I’m alive today but my biggest concern what would happen if I was somewhere where there wasn’t a lot of people and I crashed I’m guessing it would’ve done the same thing. I could’ve been hurt even worse or could’ve been dead so I’m pretty upset that it didn’t do thing.

This is “THE” app for riders

You can do so much with this app! Perfect for riders no matter what your cliche is! Love it! Knowing the crash detect is on leaves a great peace of mind as well!

GPS wants me to drive on water

So don’t know why I pay for this app when it calculates my route it doesn’t take into consideration that there is a body of water and no road. So it calculates the route as if my Bike could ride on top of the bay. Developers are idiots for this one.

Meh at best

Seems like a great idea. Unfortunately if you go off your planned route, it just keeps trying to take you back to where you went off. Also, you can't adjust mid route without ending and restarting. I've reached out to customer service multiple times bit have never gotten a response. Waste of money!!

You better have great cell service

Used for a 1000mi trip around norcal this week. The navigation interface is great ... when it works. It's very strange that an app ostensibly for motorcycle trips fails so spectacularly when there's no cell service. "Recalculating ... recalculation failed." And don't even try to edit stops when there's no service, or to download offline maps -- this app can't do either of those essential things. So who is this for? I guess just for people cruising around urban areas with 100% cell coverage. If you are annually going on a long trip, you'd be better off with Apple Maps -- at least it can download offline maps.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the navigation interface. You're correct that Detecht does not currently support offline maps or offline navigation right now and we know how important those features are for long rides in areas with limited cell coverage. Offline support is something we're actively working on, and we hope to roll it out in the near future. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us prioritize the features that matter most to riders. // The Detecht Team

Wonderful App for riders but with nuanced serious limitations

Fantastic round trip planning option. Crash detection is 5*s. Overall trip planning and suggesting routes is a huge plus.
Where it irritates is its ability to re-route if you miss a turn. It does a pathetic recalculation of route if you miss a turn. I have had issues where it wanted me to go in to backyard lanes of homes to put me back on the planned route. Another serious limitation is the lack of awareness of road closures. It takes you all the way up to the road closures and then you are on your own. If you try to resolve this issue on your own it keeps bringing you back to the road closure route.

Thank you for the detailed review and for highlighting what you enjoy about Detecht, especially the Round Trip Planner, Crash Detection, and route suggestions. Regarding the rerouting, Detecht will always try to guide you to the next upcoming waypoint to keep you on your planned route. If a waypoint becomes inaccessible due to a road closure or another issue, using the Skip Waypoint feature may help. We'd also appreciate it if you could reach out to us at support@detecht.se with a few more details so we can investigate your experience and continue improving the app. // The Detecht Team

Garbage

I wish there was more characters and more freedom of foul language to express my experience with this garbage app.
Cannot even look at the main on first launch before being harassed for payment
Don’t waste your time with this app

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and I will bring this along to the rest of the team. // The Detecht Team

Good until it the dead end

I like the layout and it has some great features. My only issues are that when out in the country it sometimes tells you to turn onto a road that isn’t there. It might be a field or a driveway but not a road! The other issue is dead-ends. Twice I’ve been in the middle of nowhere and it’s tried to send me down a dead end road. Once I didn’t realize it until I reached the end. The next time the road had a clear sign saying “Dead End”.
On a couple occasions I’ve had to use other apps to get me unlost.

Scam

Thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify though, Detecht includes both free and Premium features. While some advanced features, like curvy routes, require a Premium subscription, many parts of the app are available to use for free. We appreciate you giving Detecht a try and hope you'll continue to enjoy the free features as well // The Detecht Team
