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.

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!

Response from developer

Hey Eve, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We're sorry to hear that the privacy settings were confusing. A private account means your profile, rides, and planned routes are only visible to you. The public Discovery feed is a separate feature where only rides that a user explicitly chooses to share are published. When saving a ride, you can choose whether it should be public or private, and the app remembers your choice and uses it as the default for future saved rides until you change it again. We agree that privacy should be clear and transparent, and your feedback is valuable as we continue improving the experience. If you believe something was shared unexpectedly, you can always try to edit that specific routes privacy settings or contact us at support@detecht.se so we can investigate your specific case. You also have the choice to trim (delete) the first and last couple of minutes/Gps points of the ride before saving it to handle this issue. Ride Safe // The Detecht Team

Share

Great app which I can share with my friends in other Countries I like the way that you can watch the ride through after.
I haven’t tried the maps yet I use a different app for that. But will give it a go.

Response from developer

Thank you for the great review! We're glad you're enjoying sharing your rides with friends and replaying them afterward. We hope you'll also enjoy the navigation when you give it a try, and we'd love to hear what you think. Wishing you many great rides ahead! 🏍️

This is a great riding planner

It is very easy to plan and follow a ride.

Finding My Way

Learning that the round trip developer is good, but pay attention to the directions.

just a email harvester

you have to set up your account, give your email and everything. then waste five minutes going through all of the setup just to have to pay at the very last step. no mention of a subscription anywhere before you make an account.

Response from developer

Cool app

I just tried this for the first time today and I’m really surprised at how good it is. It’s fun to replay your ride afterwards. It zooms in and out on the map as your speed up and slow down, which is a pretty cool feature.

Room for improvement

The app’ makes big promises and the concept is great, but I keep having trouble with crashes during rides, fragmented tracking, navigation errors and planning functionality not working

Bugs on the road.

Really hard to plan a route and/or trip. The app will continuously send you on useless loops. Save you money.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Detecht's Curvy routing is designed to prioritize enjoyable motorcycle roads, which can sometimes result in detours compared to the fastest route. That said, it can sometimecreate unnecessary loops, once our routing engine don't want to ride some roads. A quick fix for now is to move the waypoint a bit or add an extra to force the routing into some roads. We'd love to investigate the route you experienced. Please contact us at support@detecht.se with a screenshot or route details so we can take a closer look and continue improving the routing experience.

Great app bad customer service

Have had the app for over two years recently I couldn’t log back in. I used all my known emails. And cannot access my app. I paid for a year worth in November. I’m only and few months in. All my routes and maps and miles I’ve saved were deleted, and my account was deleted. I messaged customer service over a week ago never heard back never even got an email confirmation. This will be the last time I ever use them again. you lost a loyal client I would have been a customer for life.

Love This App!

I love the tracking feature, the ability to post pictures, and the motorcycle friends you can make from all over the world!

Couldn’t find🤣

What a joke. I live in a popular Midwest Great Lakes state where off-roading is universally celebrated all four seasons all year round.

It could find anything with in a 100 mile radius.

I know of at least a dozen within 30 miles

And you expect folks to pay for this🤣👍
