Absolutely LOVE the emails you get after your run is complete, so funny and look forward to them! ### 5/5 — Wonderful company *2026-08-09, version 4.5.17* Can’t say enough good things about this company and their products!! I am a repeat customer over and over agin. ### 5/5 — Superb! *2026-08-09, version 4.5.17* We love this app. When we ride together but more so when solo. Love your summaries.

Love it! ### 5/5 — Awesome Tracker *2026-08-06, version 4.5.17* I wouldn’t ride outdoors without it. I’m 75 years old and love the peace of mind it gives me on my rides. That plus my Road ID are essentials. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-05, version 4.5.17* My favorite app. Feel so much safer on solo runs ### 5/5 — Always been great. *2026-08-03, version 4.5.16* I used it for years and always worked perfectly. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-03, version 4.5.16* Wouldn’t ride without it. Just wished it was still free ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-02, version 4.5.16* I use this app to give my family and myself peace of mind when I’m out exercising alone. The emergency alert works great (I’ve accidentally forgotten to “end” the exercise and got alerted while stretching that I hadn’t moved). ### 5/5 — Road ID Ap *2026-08-01, version 4.5.16* So worth the money. Have been using over 5 years. Even works in other countries. Very reliable and easy to use. Love it!! Strava was not nearly as accurate and tracked me incorrectly once and caused a panic to my friend who went looking for me. ### 5/5 — Road ID *2026-07-31, version 4.5.16* The app works great such good value ### 5/5 — Awesome Sauce *2026-07-28, version 4.5.16* I love this app I feel safer on the road not trusting any driver ### 5/5 — Best tracking app *2026-07-24, version 4.5.16* I love this app and have used it for years. It gives me peace of mind knowing that if something was to happen, I’m being tracked by my loved ones and they’ll be able to respond quickly. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-07-23, version 4.5.16* I love it and it helps me feel safe on runs! ### 5/5 — SafeBeacon kicks @$$ *2026-07-23, version 4.5.16* I’ve been a member for over 10 yrs. There are NO substitutes!! 🚴🏼🇺🇸😎👊🏼 ### 5/5 — Good to know you are Safe! *2026-07-21, version 4.5.15* App works great and nice to know there is a backup plan in place if needed ### 5/5 — Seizure *2026-07-21, version 4.5.15* I’ve been using this app so my family can track me on my runs and bike rides. I have had seizures in the past while running and this would alert them if I become unconscious and need help. ### 5/5 — Great support *2026-07-21, version 4.5.15* Anywhere, anytime ### 5/5 — Road ID *2026-07-19, version 4.5.15* Loving It!!! Don’t know what I would do without it!!! ### 2/5 — Beacon *2026-07-19, version 4.5.15* KJ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Said it had a free version. Not true *2026-04-14, version 4.5.6* App works great but don’t say it has a free version when you can’t even use it without registering for a paid account ### 1/5 — Nope…its broken *2026-03-14, version 4.5.2* Not paying twice the previous cost for an app that has a cancel button that doesn’t work. Too bad. I liked the older version. ### 1/5 — So Fun &Safe *2025-12-30, version 4.4.8* Great app, I use it on my e Cat Trike so I can track my rides and get help if needed. ### 1/5 — Unfriendly *2025-07-21, version 4.4.2* Refuses to update email address. ### 1/5 — Comment *2025-05-01, version 4.4.2* Better to integrate this feature into Garmin, apple, Fitbit, strava, Nike Run Club etc. too much hassle to utilize 2 trackers on a run or bike ### 1/5 — Now charging a subscription… *2023-07-06, version 4.2.1* I’ll use google maps for free, thanks. ### 1/5 — New app is terrible *2022-12-25, version 3.7.1* The very first version of the Road ID app was excellent. It was customizable to be able to change how long you were stationary before it alerted, it allowed you to set a customized lock screen saver, and it always worked. Every version since then has gotten worse and worse and most of the time it wouldn’t even work. I got on to try and use it today and now they have a new version where they’re charging a monthly subscription rate. I guess I am done using this app ever again. ### 1/5 — Great idea, poor execution *2022-09-04, version 3.6.13 (352)* This app worked for three rides and no longer works. I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro with the latest iOS. About a mile or two in, it will drop an eCrumb and stop tracking my ride. It basically goes back to the home screen. Had something happened to me, my contacts would never have been notified. I gave it another chance and the same keeps happening. This is a terrible app. Do not put your trust in it. ### 1/5 — Loved this app, no longer *2022-08-14, version 3.6.13 (352)* I downloaded the original free version years ago but have since stopped using it because other life activities have reduced my training time. So the only thing I really used was the ability to create a personalized Lock Screen in case of phone loss or emergency health issue. However, paying a $2.99 monthly fee for this simple personalization is ridiculous. Might as well call it BMW’s RoadID if they’re going to charge for each feature. ### 1/5 — Pay to be safe?!?! *2022-08-02, version 3.6.13 (352)* I used this app when it was free. Felt safe knowing it was tracking me and could alert my family if anything happened. But now you have to pay to feel safe. No thank you. I can even set up my info and save it as a pic and use it on my phones Lock Screen. Just not worth it. I thank you. I’ll keep using Garmin and Strava to track my activities and sending alerts to family. I do like the wrist bands. Very comfortable. I wear mine all the time. Don’t mind paying that yearly fee. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Peace of Mind!! *2026-08-22, version 4.5.17* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Long Time User *2026-08-21, version 4.5.17* I’ve been using Road ID for many years.

It knows when and where I have fallen and suggests calling for help!🚲🚔 ### 5/5 — RoadID *2026-08-13, version 4.5.17* Great app! Keeps me safe & my wife happy.
