## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not very intuitive

*2026-01-19, version 9.0.468*

Needs development, just want to find bike routes near me, not easy to navigate past minimal main options

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-01-11, version 4.2.1*

Not good to show all the trails that we have around.

### 3/5 — Great rides

*2022-01-07, version 4.2.1*

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

### 3/5 — Need grading

*2018-08-26, version 4.0.22*

Can’t find grade and/or ‘normal’ cycle tour or Mountain bike trail.

### 4/5 — App enhancement?

*2021-12-06, version 4.2.1*

Hi Gary-great app. Some of the tours have the write up in black characters on dark background which makes it very hard to read -e.g queenstown trails. Can that be changed for easier reading?

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-06-29*

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!

### 5/5 — Fantastic service

*2022-05-27, version 7.3.119*

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

### 5/5 — Super useful app!

*2021-12-16, version 4.2.1*

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

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2018-06-15, version 3.12.1*

Super easy app to get you out and about in an active way! Had a small technical issue, emailed and was looked into (and solved) within 24 hours. Don’t see that often!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2018-01-17, version 3.12.1*

THIS IS AN AMAZING APP IT SHOWS YOU ALL SORTS OF AWESOME RIDES YOU CAN DO, DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FOR DOWNLOADING!!!

### 5/5 — Love Love Love

*2017-10-27, version 3.12.1*

This has two be one of the best bike apps I have ever seen!

### 5/5 — Worth six stars

*2017-04-12, version 3.9.0*

Fantastic app.  What I had been looking for previously and only just found.  Professional presentation, far better than the information from haphazard NZ tourist sites.  Contains gps linked maps for those parts where sign posting fails, local info and much of it is free.
