### 5/5 — Awesome route tracker

*2026-08-05, version 6.6*

Fitmeter tracking is great. really like how it keeps history along with route stats speed heart rate distance and copy of the map with satellite viewing.
Great job on the app

p.s. My sister wants it too but has android and couldn’t find it there.
Unless it named differently.

### 4/5 — Prefer old history view

*2026-08-04*

Like the app but prefer the old history  view without mini-map. Can always open ride details for full map if desired. I like seeing more history/progress on one screen. Would be nice if app captured temperature in ride details.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! I understand why you preferred the old history view—it made it easier to see more rides and progress at a glance. I also appreciate the suggestion about recording temperature in the ride details; both are helpful ideas to consider. Thanks for using the app and sharing your experience!

### 3/5 — Adds

*2026-06-26, version 6.5*

Take the ads out so I can get done with the cycling session faster

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-30*

Had to get a new tracker after the old one I had was discontinued. One feature I really liked of the old one was it could reorient to landscape mode which is how I mount it on my handle bars. Unfortunatly this one wont.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and for choosing the app after your previous tracker was discontinued! I'm glad you're enjoying it overall, and I appreciate you sharing your experience with the screen orientation. Thanks for the suggestion regarding landscape mode—it’s valuable feedback and helps guide future improvements.

### 5/5 — Olpad to jhangirpura to olpad

*2026-05-13*

Excellent

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the app and had an excellent experience using it on your ride.

### 3/5 — Decent and Simple, However…..

*2026-05-09, version 6.4*

It works well as advertised, but the phone is prevented from locking during use. This uses excess battery. Manually locking the device causes the tracking to stop. The only partial way around this is to use “Reduce Whitepoint” on iOS to darken the screen.

### 1/5 — Not a Real Distance Tracker

*2026-04-26, version 6.3*

Only tracks distance from two points “as the crow flies.” A 20 mile ride is always tracked a 7 miles. Don’t waste your time!

### 4/5 — Good app records good but

*2026-04-23, version 6.3*

Good app but a lot fishing scams

### 2/5 — Improvement

*2026-03-21, version 6.2*

Overall I like it but I do wish you could edit in case you make a mistake. I forgot to stop after a ride and it just kept going. Also at the end some of the ads that pop up I can’t get rid of unless I shut the phone off completely

### 5/5 — Best App to Track your Cycling

*2026-03-02*

Its really a good app which provides you clear information of route tracking, kms run, maximum & average speed .

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review! I'm glad to hear the app helps you clearly track your routes, distance, and speeds. Your feedback is really appreciated. Happy cycling!
