User reviews

Very confusing

Downloaded a gps file from xterra website but I can’t import it in this app. This is such bs and inconvenient.

My go to

Always very accurate and easy to use

Needs a lot of work

*See below for updated opinion* At 10$ per month or 77$ per year (2026) you better work well as an app. Apps are supposed to make your life easier. This one is frustrating. I want it to be a great app, but it isn’t yet, and it should be much cheaper if it isn’t great. It is a mess when you search routes near you, they seem to allow anyone to publish a route and when you see one that looks like an interesting loop it ends up being several separate routes and difficult to use with red lines of routes everywhere. The other thing I absolutely 100% hate is, if it is not a loop (one way) and you try to reverse the direction (go back on your track), it totally sucks, you eventually drill down and figure it out and then even though the start and end have flipped properly the actual voice command directions are still backwards from where you originally started. So frustrating, especially if you leave the route for a bit to explore a town or whatever, you can not count on it to get you back properly without the use of Google Maps or iMaps. The only thing that makes this app worth a 4 star is that my community published Ride with GPS routes in our area on their website, I saved them to my « collections » and now I can explore them this way. If the app is not improved or at least lowered in price to the 30$ range (for what you get) I will definitely be cancelling my subscription.
UPDATE: This app still frustrates me, but I also love what it does. I highly recommend watching Dylan’s video from RideWithGPS on YouTube (done summer 2026) it is 45 minutes, but is necessary to understand how to properly navigate this app and how the developers expect people to use it. It is not user friendly out of the box, but if you watch the video it will make more sense. I am starting to enjoy it much more, and making custom routes, and adding the “out & back” option and saving it before using a one way route. That said, the “reverse route” option still sucks and I struggle with it, so I no longer use it and make a new route instead. Give it some time, the app will grow on you. Happy riding.

Best cycling app out there

This is the only app I happily pay and use regularly to plan my bike rides, search new bike rides and explore new places on two wheels! Totally dependan on it.

No Data analysis

I love Ride with GPS. I’ve been using it for nearly 20 years you on my Garmin. However, I dumped the Garmin… I use my iPhone works better as a navigation and recording device.
The problem I have with Ride with GPS is that there is no way to review the data that was collected, other than to dump it into another program like Strava. And this is a fairly expensive piece of software so you would expect to be able to review your data.
