This cycling tracker is dependable and will fulfill all of your cycling needs. It is designed to be convenient and work seamlessly on both iPhones and iPads. It also automatically supports both light and dark modes.

Go Cycling also supports syncing your routes, records and customizations between all of your devices using iCloud; this feature is completely optional and turned off by default.

None of your data is shared with anyone except yourself which means that you do not have to worry about your location data getting into the wrong hands.

### 5/5 — Russell's Ride

*2025-11-11*

I rode 54 miles just the other day

### 3/5 — Partially satisfied

*2025-02-05*

Nice app works well but I wish it had an auto pause function. The one I used on my Android would automatically stop timing when I stopped for a rest period.

### 5/5 — Did the job I wanted!

*2024-09-29*

Not much else to add, apart from to say that it recorded my bike route. It also don’t need no log in etc., it just works out of the box. No need for data package either, it recorded my route using the gps. Maybe a bit basic for some, but this is only the second time I’ve used a bike app, and the other app didn’t record the first half of my ride, despite all the extra bells and whistles. Good stuff, it’s always nice to find a good open source app on iOS. Highly Recommended.

### 1/5 — Nope.

*2024-03-05*

Cant track my routes.

### 2/5 — My cycling trips

*2024-01-03, version 1.3.0*

It seemed to work fine in the beginning but now it’s not working with distance in kms only how long it took to ride, this has been happening a lot now so I have stopped using it as it very disappointed .

### 1/5 — Started good, ended bad

*2023-11-10*

Doesn’t track miles and/or round trips accurately; not even close in fact!

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear this! Can you please ensure that Settings > Privacy & Security > Go Cycling is set to "Always" and that "Precise Location" is turned on in your settings. Otherwise, the app is not able to track your location correctly. Please send an email to gocycling.app@gmail.com if that does not work.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2022-12-06, version 1.3.0*

Does not work. Don’t waste your time.

### 5/5 — Go cycling

*2022-11-03*

Excellent app, I use it for cycling and dog walking. Easy to use. No data collection. Free!
