App closes when any button within settings is touched.
The app will not allow any changes to the preloaded ratios, it won’t allow you to upgrade from within the app either, It will crash, or close upon button press.
Outdated, doesn't support 12 speed cassettes
Very simple cadence/speed graph. Useful, but doesn't have 12 speed cassette support.
Yes, it DOES do modern setups!
I’ve used this app on and off for years and it’s the only one I’ve found that gives you a graphic display of your gear ratios. The app allows you to save up to five configurations with different chainring and cassette combinations and, for example, do “what-ifs” to an existing setup, which can be very useful when considering an upgrade.
There are two reviews on here that tell you the app is outdated (“in the dark ages”) because it doesn’t list the latest cassettes or chainring setups. Oh dear! Are they so “up to date” that they can’t do anything for themselves? If the guy wants a 1x chainring and it isn’t listed then all he has to do is create his own “custom” one. Yes, it takes a lot of effort because he has to press the “+” button, type a name for it then type the number of teeth it has, which can take a novice nearly 15 seconds, but he’ll soon find he can get this down to down to 10 seconds or less with a little practice. When he’s mastered creating his 1x chainring he can do the same for his “modern” wide-range cassettes. Who knows, it might give him the confidence to blow-up his own tyres!
This app is really good but it could be tweaked slightly to be even better. It needs to accommodate 12 speed cassettes (it only goes up to 11 at the moment), and the option to display two setups side-by-side would be nice. But don’t be put off by these unnecessarily bad reviews; they say more about the reviewers than this app.

Very useful
Was able to enter custom rings and cassette from an older MTB as I'm shopping for a different cassette, and this app works wonderfully. Only flaw I found so far is that the Gain graphs seem off, probably because it doesn't have a setting for crank length. I'm basing my decision mostly on cadence though, so gain is just a curiosity really. Thanks for this app!

Serious needs updating
Useful app in theory, but needs updating to reflect current gear set tends. No wider range 11 speed cassettes, 11-28, 11-32 and 11-34 are now common for road bikes. No options for the new 1x gear sets at all.
I don’t recommend that you spend anything on this to “unlock” the additional features. Stuck in the dark ages, obviously developed by cyclists with knackered knees who grind up every hill.
It’s 2018, not 2008.

Useless
No place for user input
Ratios pretty basic
Both chainrings and cassette ratios are outdated. If 11 speed is the current standard there are limited cassettes and chainrings.
Didn’t see a 52/36 combo anywhere or a 11-32 if this is about selection provide the information required to assist in the selection.

Excellent gear calculator
I have used this to compare 1x11 , 2x11 , 3x10, and 2x10 Mountain bike gearing for 29, 26 and 650b wheel sizes. It really helped me understand what the gains and losses were with different solutions. I hope they update the app so it will work with the next release of IOS. I would even pay to upgrade this app.

Dont bother I paid for upgrade, too limited not worth 4.49
Own the upgrade version and they
wont let me write a review- Dont waste
your money, UNTIL they truly upgrade
very limited for road bikes
Ive used 54,55,56 big rings - they show zip
who cares if cassette, & tyre size are the
only variables. Im on 55:42 with 11:28
dont know why this app suggests upgrade?
I dont give a rats --- about what I can do
with ring cassette combinations that exist
but are NOT shown

Needs improving
Needs explanations and chart display in addition to the graphs.
Ok but could be improved
This has potential (it's simple , quick) but there is absolutely no explanation on the graphs, but if that could be accomplished this app would be great
Poor gear selection.
The graphs are great. However, they are useless if you can't add your own gear size and many common sizes are not available. The ads integrate poorly and cover the graphs.
Good Practical App
Good practical app, with a good library of gear options from which to choose. A few suggestions for improvement.
Would be great if you could compare two gear options side by side, and also the ability to name a saved option.
Enjoyed using the app.

Good for standard combinations
A handy app for working with standard chainring & cassette combinations. What would be REALLY handy, and is missing in this app & the paid version, is the ability to input custom chainring combinations.
Has potential, but ads make useless
The ads in this ap obscure the display, making it useless. Lots of prescribed options for off the shelf cassettes, etc., but I'd prefer a custom option.
