Great app!

Wow, this is an awesome app, especially since it is free! A LOT of work went into researching and building this I’m sure! Very useful!

Fantastic service

The guy who writes and supports this app is amazing and super helpful.
The local rangers and I were riding a Rotorua trail that is now no longer a great ride, and he put it back for us for the weekend so that we could follow it and not get lost.
Love this app and have used it often and am ticking my way off around the country via it.
Keep up the fantastic work

Great rides

Extremely hard to read content in great rides app when most of the text is in black. Can’t it be changed to white? Otherwise good detail

Super useful app!

Love this app - we are working through the great rides as a family and this app has helped us plan our trips. Small request - the dark grey background has made the black txt really hard to read. Possible to lighten the background? That’s my only suggestion - other than that, it is super intuitive, very informative, and gives a great overview of the amazing rides available in NZ
