We recently launched this feature for the Hammerhead Karoo, and it’s great to hear there’s interest on the Garmin side as well. While it’s not available on Garmin devices at the moment, I’ll be sure to share any updates if that changes in the future. In the meantime, I’d love to hear more about how you’d like to use it—feel free to reach out at david@epicrideweather.com —David Epic Ride Weather ### 4/5 — Very Useful!! *2025-05-08, version 2.3.165* A very useful app for any cyclist. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Greatest App Ever! *2024-08-09* Thanks to The Ride Collective for putting this app on my radar. I can't count how many times I've tried to cobble together this kind of ride forecast from other "point" weather forecast data sources... **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! I'm glad you like it. David david@epicrideweather.com ### 5/5 — Perfect ! *2024-05-05, version 2.3.132* Simply perfect ! What else ? ### 5/5 — Just an awesome cycling support app *2024-04-09, version 2.3.132* Love this product complete forecast for ride planning and forecasting critical weather indicators like winds, temperatures, rain etc. can’t plan a ride without it. ### 5/5 — Indispensable! *2024-03-15* I live in the northern Rockies and bike year-round. The weather is tough to predict in the mountains, but technology has made the weather-guessers so much better. The proper application of this technology through Rpic Ride has helped me properly chose my routes and gear and has lead to far more enjoyable rides. This app helps me live by the old adage, “There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.” I will ride in the wind, but I prefer to let it blow me home. Again, big win here with forecasting direction and magnitude at the precise place and time I will be on my route. Sure, I could pack the kitchen sink every time I ride (and occasionally have to), but this app helps me avoid overpacking. I worry less and ride more. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback and review Mountain Dave! ### 5/5 — Simply Epic, Epically simple. *2023-11-23, version 2.3.120* The app is brilliant and more importantly accurate. Absolutely 1st class support from David too. ### 5/5 — Bis jetzt alles stimmig 👍 *2023-09-15* Schneller Einblick über die Wetterlage auf deiner Geplanten Tour . Vor Tour antritt kurzer Check & auf gehts 😃 **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! ### 5/5 — Game changer! *2023-08-12, version 2.3.107* Every so often an app comes along which immediately becomes something you cannot do without. I plan my routes using Komoot (another superb app) and this app is an invaluable resource in helping me to optimise the route according to the weather forecast. It’s worth the modest investment for the wind map alone. It works seamlessly with Komoot. An absolute game changer. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2023-07-24* .Fácil uso. .Integrado com os apps para ler as rotas. .As previsões são bem assertivas. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! David ### 2/5 — excellent concept / weather data is poor *2023-06-24, version 2.3.101* On sunny days this app is extremely useful to help one plan for long rides especially into the mountains to predict temp at elevation for picking how much cold weather gear to carry. CAVEAT - it is absolutely abysmal at rain predictions. In Crans Montana Switzerland it was POURING rain for 4 hrs and the app estimated precipitation at 5%. In Bormio, rain estimates of 7% with weather network estimating 80% (and yes it poured… i got caught in it badly). In Ottawa (no significant elevation to perhaps explain the discrepancy) again 3% rain prediction vs weather network 70% and it did pour! Sorry can’t pay for that. ### 4/5 — 過去の日付指定の機能が復活した *2023-06-21* 要望していた過去の日付指定機能が復活されたので星四つ。 毎年、冬季閉鎖からの除雪開通直後に行くルート（渋峠の雪の回廊）の遠征計画の際に 「昨年はあの格好でちょうど良かった、あれは気温何℃だったっけ？、今年は◯℃の予報だからもう少し暖かい装備を持って行こう」 とウェアリング、装備の検討に欠かせない。 **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! I hope to reintroduce historical forecasts soon. It's expected that Epic Ride Weather will give you different forecasts than other weather sources, since forecasts are provide along your route rather than at the nearest city. Feel free to reach out for support if you'd like me to dig in to a specific forecast! david@epicrideweather.com David ### 5/5 — Indispensável! *2023-05-30* Esse é um dos aplicativos que todo ciclista deve ter. Consultar a velocidade e direção do vento antes de sair de casa, vai ajudar bastante na escolha do percurso e até para quem é “caçador de KOM”, essas informações serão essenciais. Vale cada centavo! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! David ### 2/5 — Didn’t work and then expired! *2023-05-25* I tried this app linked to RidewithGPS. I did not purchase it, so was on the free trial mode. I tried to get it to forecast a route I was planning and it would just come back with an error and never did work. Then, in less than a day it aside my free trial was over and wanted me to pay. NO THANKS. I agree, my trial is over. This app not ready. The idea is great. Maybe after some more development. **Developer response:** I'm really sorry to hear about your experience! If you reach out for support I'll be happy to extend your trial and solve the issue. Thanks, David david@epicrideweather.com ### 4/5 — Great product but slipping *2023-05-09* I wish I could give it 4.5 stars. It's really a great product but lately it's been slipping. There has been a performance downgrade in soled and accuracy since the shift to Apple weather. I'm. It sure what service they were using before but at least in my experience they absolutely nailed it. Since then the accuracy has been fine but noticeably like accuracy than before. Also the speed, loading, etc has decreased since the switch. I'm not sure if that's related or not. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! There have been a few rough edges related to the switch from Dark Sky to Apple Weather: https://www.epicrideweather.com/2022/10/16/darksky-to-weatherkit/ The team at Apple is working hard to improve that, we should expect to see improvements throughout the year. Thanks again, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or more feedback for me. david@epicrideweather.com David ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Neue Kosten *2025-03-19* Inzwischen mit DAUERHAFTEN und nicht geringen Kosten verbunden. Nicht mal ein Einmalkauf wird angeboten. Da ist Komoot Premium dann der bessere Weg **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate the concerns about subscriptions. A one-time purchase isn’t feasible, as there are ongoing costs involved in providing accurate and reliable weather forecasts — including licensing high-quality forecast data and maintaining the service. The subscription helps cover these costs so we can continue to offer a great experience for riders like you. I appreciate you giving the app a try. Happy riding! ### 1/5 — Mejorable *2025-01-02, version 2.3.152* Hay aplicaciones gratuitas que ofrecen los mismos servicios, incluso más ### 1/5 — Subscription only *2025-01-01* Heavy overpriced subscription only. Not possible, to buy an all time access **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I can't offer the service for a one-time fee, since your subscription covers ongoing costs such as forecast data and the cost of running the service. Feel free to reach out to me for support if you have any questions. david@epicrideweather.com ### 1/5 — Will not connect to RidewithGPS *2023-06-26, version 2.3.101* App will not connect to my ridewithgps account. Too bad it seems like a good idea. ### 1/5 — エラーが出る。使用回数も増加する。 *2023-04-01* エラーで接続できない場合が多い。 しかも使用回数も、エラーなのにカウントされる。。エラーの分のカウントを返して欲しい。 **Developer response:** Thanks for the review, sorry that you've experienced errors. We had an outage this weekend which may have affected you. Feel free to reach out to me for support: david@epicrideweather.com You'll be pleased to hear that the forecast account balance is only used to protect against abuse, such as bots. Most people find that they do not reach the limit, but even if you do go over the limit, Epic Ride Weather will continue to work normally as long as abuse is not detected. ### 1/5 — TCX Import aus iCloud funktioniert nicht *2020-02-21* Laut Anzeige soll man einfach seine TCX Files einlesen können, wenn sie in iCloud liegen. Sind sie bei mir aber die App behauptet permanent dass da nichts ist. Schade , somit unbrauchbar :-( **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you had troubles with the TCX file. If you reach out to me for support I'll be happy to help you with the issue! David greensopinion@gmail.com ### 1/5 — Renewal require ! *2020-01-04* Can use it, you must paid ! **Developer response:** Elcanux, thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I can't offer the service for free, since it costs me directly to run the service. Feel free to contact me for support. If you are in any way dissatisfied I'll be happy to offer a refund. Thanks, David greensopinion@gmail.com ### 1/5 — No funciona! *2020-01-04, version 1.103* Simplemente dejo de funcionar en IOS. No carga la información. En funcionamiento la app estaba bien. ### 1/5 — Fantastic app *2016-10-30, version 1.1* This is great!!! Except I never got the chance to see if it actually works. Only got about 5 free forecasts before it asked me to pull out the old wallet.... description says you get 100 free forecasts.... ### 2/5 — Consistently incorrect temps *2025-05-21, version 2.3.165* I’ve yet to see accurate temperature forecasts. Supposedly taking data from Apple Weather, so why don’t the values match? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly as promised *2026-05-25* This app works exactly as promised. It’s basic and simple, but it’s perfect for what I need, especially on my longer bikepacking rides. I connected it to my Ride With GPS account, so, as long as I’ve planned an approximate route ahead of time, it makes it very easy to set my weather expectations for the day and next few hours—whether to have my poncho at the ready, when I should think about reapplying sunscreen, how much headwind or tailwind to expect, etc. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! I use the app for bikepacking too, and I’m glad it’s useful for you! david@epicrideweather.com ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-12-26, version 2.3.187* Works great! ### 5/5 — Genial *2025-09-30, version 2.3.182* Es simplemente genial, sencilla de usar, y buenísima para saber el tiempo y sobretodo para saber la dirección del viento en tus salidas con la bicicleta. Yo siempre que vaya hacer una ruta miro antes la dirección, para tener siempre el viento a favor a la vuelta. Me encanta esta aplicación! Es muy recomendable!! ### 5/5 — Pour les mangeurs de bitume *2025-09-08* Graveliste je suis moins concerné mais cette solution sera utile sur route comme peut l’être une prevision du vent pour les marins **Developer response:** Hi, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. Epic Ride Weather includes a 30-day free trial so riders can explore the app before committing. Please feel free to contact me directly at david@epicrideweather.com — I’d be happy to offer you a full refund. ### 5/5 — Certainement utile en vélo de route *2025-08-25* Ce qui m’a donné l’envie de tester est la possibilité de l’appairer avec l’excellent GPS Hammerhead, tout marche parfaitement; pour ma part en Gravel l’utilité est moindre mais c’est une appréciation personnelle. ### 5/5 — Epic! *2025-08-24, version 2.3.177* Really helpful for planning rides. ### 5/5 — Great app for riders and outdoor enthusiasts *2025-06-04, version 2.3.166* Love using this app for planning my rides. Would be great to update with air quality status. ### 5/5 — Nice app ! *2025-05-07, version 2.3.165* Awesome app. If you’re a cyclist and like to have a good ride, this app is a good way to start. Plenty of helpful information to help you prepare. ### 5/5 — Imprescindible *2025-01-26, version 2.3.152* Todo ciclista de cualquier modalidad disfrutará de esta App. ### 5/5 — Change starting point of route? *2024-09-19, version 2.3.145* This is brilliant for day rides. Living in Scotland I use it all the time. For Bikepacking however, the ability to shorten the route (ie delete what you’ve ridden), and forecast the remaining would be awesome. Example: I’m writing this from a café in Corfu where I’m hiding from a thunderstorm. I’m wild camping so I have no daily schedule, just my entire route on my Garmin and on my phone. The ability to forecast the remainder of my route from my current location would be a gamechanger. I’m guessing however that that kind of feature would need to be via a GPS app rather than this one? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
