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.

Numerous roads surface not suitable for street bike

Lots of gravel roads ..

Best app

You want an app to make really awesome runs with. This is it. Worth the $10 a month.

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.

Worst company ever

I sent out 5 different emails about forgetting to cancel my free subscription andand it charged me for a whole years worth of the app and i didn't want that so i asked for a refund or anything never got a response back or email acknowledging it

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

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

Do not install it, You will need to pay a subscription to generate routes :)

Best Motorcycle GPS App…

…PERIOD!

Almost There

I gave this app a test while going out on a drive where I like to take multiple routes each time 1 go. I have planned it out on my own and I feel like the my planning took just about as much time and was about the same amount of effort. The app did crash on me a few times, but my phone is 4 years old now so I do not blame the devs there.

My biggest issue with the app was that the app did not know when roads were closed. My trip was 560 total miles and on 3 occasions roads were closed. I had poor cell coverage a the recalculation would not work. In the attempt my iPhone 13 Pro reached max temps and overheated even while the AC was blowing on it. I had to not only close the app but resta my phone.

Overall I see the dream and this is the right idea but there needs to be some additional features to make this actually be better than using google maps.
1. During the route planning have the user set a start and end location, then allow users to drop pins on the map for stops along the way. If the stops are out of order the current en screen already allows for moving stops around.
2. Temporarily download the relevant map data to the users device once the route starts. Often when trips start users will be in good coverage areas but will not have coverage mid
3. Don't gray out the other Ul when the "recalculate" button is shown. I missed a turn and the recalculate button made it so I could not do anything on the app. With no signal I was basically locked out.

Trial only

Don’t get scammed this is a seven day trial only there’s other real free ones out there

Account privacy misleading!

This app is extremely misleading regarding privacy!
It claims to offer a “private account”, which suggests that content is only visible to friends or the user. In reality, ride data and GPS routes can still appear in PUBLIC discovery feeds and be visible to other users.
This includes start and end points of rides, which can reveal sensitive location information if you start rides from home. This is inappropriate! There is no clear, user-friendly option to hide or geofence start and finish locations.
The privacy model is not transparent and feels unsafe for riders who expect basic location protection. A “private account” should mean private data - not partially exposed GPS tracks!
I would not recommend this app if you care about your privacy!
