### 5/5 — “Thank you so much Adam” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2024-07-20, version 3.1.3*

I have to give a huge shout out to the developer and designer of this amazing cycling app. Your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated for those of us who enjoy a short ride through a park with family friends or even longer rides of a half century or more. As someone who lives on a fixed income, it’s wonderful that you freely share your talent with others only asking for what they can afford as a tip. Thank you again from my entire cycling family. 🚴🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2024-07-15, version 3.1.3*

Manageable. Easy app.

### 5/5 — Great app for privacy minded people.

*2024-05-29, version 3.1.3*

Love the app. I sometimes have issues with my rides not saving. Other than that everything is very quick and intuitive. Definitely a great app

### 5/5 — Jó kis app

*2024-05-12, version 3.1.3*

Jó lenne ha a sebességet tized értékkel is mutatná.

### 5/5 — Superb - Excellent - Accurate - Simple

*2024-02-27, version 3.0.3*

We use this app to record/map/catalog our rides. Terrific integration with Apple Maps and Apple Watch. Absolutely one of the best apps developed for cycling. Although it is free, it easily and appropriately earns a donation to the developers tip jar. Thank you for creating this app!

### 5/5 — Very impressive

*2024-01-15, version 3.0.3*

This is great for me , love the look and for free

### 5/5 — Great choice cycle or walking app

*2023-11-24, version 3.0.2*

Installed and compared with several others. This was the best free offering, giving clear & accurate enough data. Works well with OSMand, easy to send tracks between the two. Works fine in the background with no screen on as well. Well worth a try and good for any type of travelling.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-10-31, version 3.0.2*

This app is great and super polished. I especially like the OSM map option. Unfortunately, there are some issues with pausing that make the app less useful for multi-modal bike trips. If these are fixed this is an easy 5-star app.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2023-10-18*

This is my go-to bike computer. I’ve recommended it to so many people. It is free, doesn’t require an account, doesn’t share your data.  It has all the stats I want for non-competitive biking, displaying the map and most important stats simultaneously. Auto-pauses and easy on your battery. It’s the best. Try it!

**Developer response:** I’m disappointed to hear this! We’re working on fixing this, thanks for your patience.

### 5/5 — No nonsense

*2023-07-15, version 2.1*

A great little app which just tracks your rides, displays live stats and allows for basic navigation via the import of GPX files.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2023-05-03, version 1.10*

I’ve never don’t a app review before however I though this app was worth putting a word out there. 

I’ve been looking for a bike computer, then thought I wonder if there is a app I can just use. 

This app has works great to give you all your biking info. Your distance bikes, altitude climbed and so forth. 

The best part is it’s FREE99 I hope it continues to stay free.

### 1/5 — I had high hopes…

*2025-05-13, version 3.5.2*

I very much like the fact that this app states it collects no data 👍
But before I even set-up, configure or use the app, it’s demanding that I either upgrade to ‘Pro’ or leave a review 👎
Deleted!

### 1/5 — updates are bad

*2024-02-21*

This app has become useless for me, because I can no longer orient the map with the north arrow button. For some strange reason it’s now disabled in the later versions. No point in buying the pro.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the review. We hope to have resolved this issue - if not please email us at hello@sunexposure.app !

### 1/5 — Last update

*2023-10-12, version 3.0*

Update has deleted all trips data.

### 1/5 — Zle

*2023-05-15, version 1.10*

Niekolko rokov stare mapy…

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all

*2022-09-25, version 1.6.2*

It crashes on iPhone XS with iOS 15.6

### 2/5 — Gut aber mir Fehlern

*2025-03-11, version 3.5.2*

Also ich nutze diese App total gerne! Die Anzeigen sind super praktisch und in meinen Augen optisch attraktiv! 
Leider kommt es bei Touren, die pausiert werden, häufig zu fehlerhaften Aufzeichnungen. Die Strecke wird nicht richtig abgespeichert und der Übertrag in die Healthapp sind fehlerhaft. 

Ich würde mich riesig freuen, wenn diese Fehler behoben werden und ich keine Alternative App benötige!

### 2/5 — It’s okay, doesn’t save rides

*2024-09-05, version 3.2.1*

The app only holds 4 saved rides. When you click save, it deletes your ride, so screen cap if you’re trying to keep track. 

Contacted support, and no response.

### 3/5 — Very Laggy, Bugs

*2025-10-13, version 3.6.3*

First ride I did on this was a 2 day bikepacking trip in which I loaded the map route on this app. When recording, the map was extremely slow to navigate. At the end of my ride, my ride was corrupted and was saved as one 150 mile ride including the whole route that I did plus the distance from the end to my current location instead of wha I actually did which was 60 miles. It also saved another ride that logged as 60 miles but when I click on it, it appears as 0 with no metrics. This may be a performance issue on my end as I am running this app on a slightly older phone (13 mini) but regardless I should not have encountered these issues. Would love to see improvements as I like the layout.

### 3/5 — Glitches

*2025-04-18, version 3.5.2*

At first I loved this app but now it glitches. Doesn’t save my route or when I rename them.  Often it double saves my rides. I know it’s a free app but going to look elsewhere. Probably go to Strava where I know it’s reliable and accurate. Sorry

### 4/5 — Presque parfait

*2024-03-16, version 3.0.3*

L’application propose de nombreuses fonctionnalités et la liaison avec l’Apple Watch est vraiment pratique pour suivre son rythme cardiaque mais 2 petits bugs gênants chez moi : la fonction pause qui parfois fait planter et donc remise à zéro de l’enregistrement et un nombre de kilomètres fait transmis à l’application santé inférieur à la réalité

### 5/5 — The best free bike computer on the App Store

*2025-12-23, version 3.6.4*

Clean UX with fantastic odometer and map settings.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable app

*2025-08-09, version 3.6.1*

Really good UI and overall app functionality

### 5/5 — Perfect bike computer

*2025-07-12, version 3.5.2*

What a lot of other developers get wrong is treating route planning and social fitness as the same thing as the utility of a bike computer. This app gets it—it’s laser-focused on being an incredibly intuitive, tactile, and reliable bike computer. It just works without making you fidget with a million settings or distractions mid-ride.

Even without formal integrations, the companion watch app is a brilliant bridge—enabling heart rate monitoring and Bluetooth power meter connections so you get most of the critical ride metrics.

If I had one feature request, it’d be this: support for radar info (like from a Garmin Varia or Wahoo Trackr) connected via Bluetooth through the Apple Watch, displayed just like power data. That addition would complete the ride picture and make this the most capable bike computer app on the platform—no question.

### 5/5 — Super compteur de vélo

*2025-05-28, version 3.5.2*

Très comptant de cette appli qui remplace bien un compteur garmin. On peut connecter le cardio, mettre un gpx, le connecter à strava . Et évidemment on a toutes les données d’un compteur habituel (vitesse distance etc…) 

Merci beaucoup c’est une super appli !

### 5/5 — Brilliant App!

*2025-03-02, version 3.5.2*

Love Everything About It

### 5/5 — They Fixed It!! 😍

*2025-02-25, version 3.5.2*

Update :  They fixed the north arrow orientation!  

Previous review: This app has become useless for me, because I can no longer orient the map with the north arrow button. For some strange reason it’s now disabled in the later versions. No point in buying the pro.

### 5/5 — Very High Performance

*2025-01-18, version 3.5.1*

This App Go Krazy ! I've Downloaded About 15 Bike Speed Apps & This One Is One Of The Top 2 Best All Around

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-08-29, version 3.2.1*

I really enjoy the app. I use it almost every day. It does everything it’s supposed to and nothing that it I don’t want it to.

### 5/5 — I’m satisfied

*2024-08-17, version 3.2*

In my previous review I said sometimes my rides didn’t appear in my history. Now I just saw that they’ve fixed it and I can’t wait to test it out because this really is my favorite bike computer. This really was a quick response to my review. Thank you Adam for fixing this bug. :D

### 5/5 — Good commuter app

*2024-08-14, version 3.1.3*

I love this app!
