### 4/5 — RoadSync

*2026-05-28, version 26.5.10*

The RoadSync app works quite well for the functionality it has.  The navigation is most functional with your smart phone in a holder and visible while driving the motorcycle.  Music functionality is nice, but some extra features would be appreciated, like being able to move backward to previous tracks and switch music from the app. Also, podcast accessibility would be nice. Overall, the app isn’t bad and it sure beats using a smart phone by itself.

### 3/5 — Keine Einstellungen

*2026-05-25*

Es könnte eine gute App sein wenn das Lautstärken Problem nicht wäre. Musik hören und Navigationsansagen verstehen funktioniert nicht. Es kann doch nach Jahren nicht so schwer sein, gesonderte Soundregler für Musik und Navigations ansagen mit ins Programm zu nehmen. Ab 50 KMH ist die Navigations Ansage so gut wie nicht mehr zu verstehen. Außer ich drehe es auf 100 Prozent dann aber knallt einen, die Musik die Ohren weg.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2026-05-21, version 26.2.11*

Most of the time it does not connect to the phone. When it does connect the Navigation instructions are ok, but the graphics for roundabouts are next to useless as they show straight over what ever the verbal instruction. The music app on jumps tracks forward and you must select what you want to play on the phone prior to riding. As Honda are a premium brand and the dealer promoted Road Sync. I am very disappointed. Come on Honda you must improve this.

### 1/5 — 走行ログをエクスポートしたい

*2026-05-21*

このアプリとHonda Road Syncを「便利だ」として活用している方がどれくらいいるのでしょうか？私はNavi機能も天気予報も音楽の操作も使ったことないです。せめて走行ログをスマートフォンにファイルとして保存できるようにしてもらえませんか？何年も時間が経過したログは消えてしまうんじゃないかと不安になります。

### 1/5 — Don’t expect much

*2026-05-19, version 26.2.11*

I was excited about the prospect of RoadSync when I was buying the bike but now very unexcited! You can’t set a route unless the ignition is on! No chance of planning and setting a route on the sofa. Voice search just doesn’t work, comes up with nonsense. Even manually typing in a destination is fraught with. 
Honda, forget this and just provide some decent 12V switched power that is accessible without removing panels. Come on, keep up!

### 1/5 — Waste of time, eats battery

*2026-05-03, version 26.2.11*

I’ve tried to use it, but it’s a total waste of time. Cannot create routes, can’t integrate with google maps, and it eats battery. Routes driven don’t appear until the next day. I’m struggling to understand what the purpose is. It would be far better for Honda to open the API and encourage maps SW makers to utilize it.

Sometimes it saves routes I’ve driven, which is the only useful feature, but often it doesn’t record them. The app is half baked and doesn’t reflect the high quality of Honda.

### 4/5 — Gute Ansätze, aber noch ausbaufähig

*2026-05-01*

Ich finde, die App wird hier im App Store teilweise deutlich schlechter dargestellt, als sie tatsächlich ist. Im direkten Vergleich mit anderen Hersteller-Apps, zum Beispiel von Yamaha, funktioniert sie bei mir deutlich zuverlässiger. Bei meiner vorherigen Maschine mit der MyRide App hatte ich sogar das Problem, dass die gesamte App teilweise gar nicht lief.

Das heißt aber natürlich nicht, dass hier alles perfekt ist. Der Funktionsumfang auf iOS ist spürbar eingeschränkt, die Verbindung ist stellenweise noch etwas hakelig und die Integration mit anderen Diensten ist aktuell eher gering. Gerade hier sollte Honda aus meiner Sicht unbedingt nachbessern.

Ich würde mir vor allem eine stärkere Integration von Siri wünschen, damit man mehr Funktionen während der Fahrt sicher und komfortabel nutzen kann. Außerdem wäre ein integrierter Routenplaner in der App eine große Verbesserung. Auch eine optionale Einbindung von Drittanbietern, zum Beispiel für Navigation wäre sinnvoll – gerne auch als kostenpflichtiges Upgrade oder Abo, solange es dann wirklich stabil und zuverlässig funktioniert.

Unterm Strich ist die App definitiv noch ausbaufähig, aber sie ist bei weitem nicht so schlecht, wie viele Bewertungen vermuten lassen. Mit etwas mehr Fokus auf Integration und Erweiterung könnte sie richtig gut werden.

### 1/5 — Navigation is dangerous

*2026-04-08, version 26.2.11*

I recently used Honda RoadSync navigation on my Honda Rebel 1100T in North Texas and experienced a serious routing issue that I believe is a safety concern.

The system routed me off major roads and onto poorly maintained rural roads, including areas with large potholes, flooding, mud, and heavy truck ruts. These conditions are not appropriate for a street motorcycle and created a situation where I had to carefully maneuver at low speed just to avoid losing control.

What made this more concerning is that RoadSync does not provide a visible map or route preview, so there was no way to identify or avoid the unsafe route in advance. I was essentially following turn-by-turn directions without context until I encountered hazardous conditions.

For comparison, standard navigation apps such as Google Maps on the same route selected only major, well-maintained roads.

### 3/5 — Could do with more features to keep up with competition

*2026-04-03, version 26.2.11*

The app works as intended but with other brands like cfmoto sync apps there really isn’t much to offer as of now. Would be good if you could see the current temps of your engine etc. so yeah more app features would be great

### 1/5 — NT1100

*2026-04-01, version 26.2.11*

Where’s the NT1100 or the Africa Twin?

### 1/5 — Completely broken

*2026-04-01, version 26.2.11*

Was working fine, now music doesn’t work and i have to restart the app 5 times before the navigation shows up properly to do a search.

Another issue is you can’t see any navigation overview so you have no idea if the destination is correct

Garbage. Devalues the whole vehicle

### 1/5 — Apple monopoly

*2026-03-30, version 26.2.11*

The concept is nice, but since it’s interfaced with Apple it’s garbage. Map and music sources are limited to Apple Music and maps so for Spotify and Google map users it’s worthless. No idea how this is legal after United States V. Microsoft.

### 1/5 — Does not work good on music and navigation

*2026-03-27, version 26.2.11*

not happy with this app junk very surprised with Honda quality. Navigation just not good . I’ve been trying to play my music with it ,works when it wants to . Hope Honda comes up with an update here soon.

### 1/5 — Now even worse

*2026-03-20, version 26.2.11*

Since update it now does not connect to my bike until I go into settings and briefly turn Bluetooth off and back on again several times, such a pain then have to go into app and except terms every time I use it, having to do all this just to use features such as music and navigation, really frustrating! Sort it out please

### 1/5 — R

*2026-03-10*

The worst app. Honda people are just trying to sell their product. If your product is not working on iPhone then simply you tell customers that it will not work on your phone. They are cheaters and just earning money. I wanted to give .5 star . The most worst app and company.

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2026-03-04, version 26.2.10*

The only thing this app is any good for is controlling volume on any headset you might be using via the handle bar control switch. The navigation feature is so bad it is actually dangerous to use.

### 1/5 — Honda Roadsync app

*2026-03-03, version 26.2.10*

This was a great app with my android prior to moving to iPhone and now this app is not even usable at all it freezes and most of the time I have issue connecting to my motorcycle with this app and also the limited functionality of this app with the iPhone is very annoying, I wish this app was the same as it was with my Samsung I had no issue but here it’s always an issue connecting, hope apple and Honda can make a change for this app for good but I don’t see them doing that at all this app is garbage

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-03-02, version 26.2.10*

It doesn't connect, I can't even access the app! What a shame, Honda

### 1/5 — Previous update only made it buggier

*2026-03-02, version 26.2.10*

Not a particularly good app with a relatively poor nav/mapping system. Recent updates prevented the map/nav/music screens from even appearing. I can only get the list of rides and no map nor music.

### 1/5 — Embarrassing wait

*2026-02-24, version 26.1.10*

Mobile maps came out in 2005. Honda being 21 years behind released a turn picture system - no map image. The gas level is covered when low by a bar of navigation. The favorites is only available by numbers only. What in the world. You can mirror it from the app into the screen. Really hope you can update it because it wasn't worth upgrading for.

### 1/5 — Careless developer

*2026-08-14, version 26.5.10*

They collect way too much privacy invading data. They also didn’t implement a checking if media is already being played to avoid interruption other apps playing if one accidentally bumps a button. Clearly made by someone who never rides. Also the navigation is crazy. The navigation favorites don’t show even a nickname or anything on the bike.

### 1/5 — It need a lot of more work

*2026-08-13, version 26.5.10*

The app seems it will work but it doesn’t.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-08-08, version 26.5.10*

The app is basic and the Satnav just about works if you get the right destination to begin with. The two major gripes are, the navigation resets every time you stop. Any other satnav would resume where it left off but this app starts recording a new journey with no destination. EG today I only did 80 miles but had 3 stops. This was recorded as 4 journeys. No other Satnav that I am aware of does that. Please fix this or at least give the user a choice.

### 1/5 — Directions are terrible

*2026-08-08, version 26.5.10*

Doesn’t tell you the exit for the upcoming roundabout. What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Please integrate Google Maps for iPhone

*2026-08-03, version 26.5.10*

If I can have turn by turn for Google on my Apple Watch we should at least get that for the bike. Please fix. Also I can’t set route in the app, only voice which is horrible

### 1/5 — Please update this app!

*2026-07-23, version 26.5.10*

Please, please update this app Honda! You have the skills to make excellent motorbikes - surely a functional road navigation app that is compatible with other navigation apps isn’t beyond your technical expertise!

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-07-17, version 26.5.10*

Come on Honda you need to attend to this soon.

### 1/5 — why do you need such a personal information? Why do i have to accept it to use this app?

*2026-07-11, version 26.5.10*

From your agreement:

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Personal Information

Identifiers such as name, social security number, driver’s license number, other government identification number, IP address, social media username, student identification information, and contact information such as address, email address, phone number, and fax number
Education information.. etc

Again:
Aren’t collecting these information too much??

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-19, version 26.5.10*

How can a big multinational company like Honda produce such a bad app that looks like it was knocked up in a weekend by an amateur. They need to hire a professional design team and developers to listen to the feedback and redesign the whole thing.

### 1/5 — Not funcitonal

*2026-06-07, version 26.5.10*

The app doesn’t work, I have a 2025 rebel 1100. 90% of the time I can’t even get the bike to show up when trying to go on a ride. I have to completely delete the Bluetooth and app and repair and now that doesn’t even work! I can get into the app see the bike but I can’t click on the gps or anything it does nothing! Infuriating app.

*2025-05-17*

Hallo, dickes Dankeschön für die App, verbindet sich zuverlässig mit meinem iPhone. Wenn ich bei den Entwicklern einen Wunsch frei habe: bitte ergänzt bei Kreisverkehr eine Ziffer für die Ausfahrt. Gibt‘s im Headset als Ton, aber visuell ist besser.
