### 4/5 — Bike & brew fav - but needs extras

*2026-07-07, version 1.22*

I love this app as it’s great for finding bike & brew cafes and marking them as visited.  What would be really helpful would be the app showing opening times and maybe photos of the cafe (rather than having to find this via web browsing or google street view outside the app).  Calimoto direct nav integration so you can easily navigate to the cafe would also be great as I prefer this to google maps, Waze etc.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-03-22, version 1.16*

I used this app for planning bike and brew, only issue is I can’t seem to update bike and brew locations for 2026. It starts in just over a week and I am having to use your website instead of the app that I have paid for.

### 3/5 — App buttons

*2025-05-31, version 1.15*

A brilliant app with lots of bike resource. However, where you aware that the ‘petrol station’ button disappeared? All when selecting cafes or pubs the petrol stations show up. Quite disconcerting.

### 3/5 — Generally good app

*2025-02-08, version 1.12*

Generally good app, it would be useful to know for accommodation what facilities there are (bike secure parking), drying rooms and links to websites and cafes to have the parking info and food and pricing ratings.

### 3/5 — A bit skinny

*2024-12-16, version 1.12*

I had not realised that in order for a cafe etc to be listed they had to pay so it’s a bit thin on information. Would be a great app if the information was based on rider inputs not just a business directory.

### 4/5 — must update app manually

*2024-06-03, version 1.12*

Great idea, but the offline data is very out of date and the app doesn’t auto update. website data is better.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2023-12-20, version 1.12*

What a site. A must for any biker

### 5/5 — Biker Friendly 👍

*2023-04-20, version 1.10*

Moved from 3* to 5* after S COX helped with finding SEARCH in MAIN MENU.
Handy to find place-marks, to plan a route, but will still have to use WAZE for navigation, warnings and rerouting.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2021-12-25, version 1.10*

Great app to use when travelling in unknown places.

### 5/5 — Brilliant. Outstanding

*2021-09-17, version 1.9*

And I have even used it yet. 
But today is the day. 
Riding to Cheddar from Essex. 
An app (and group) that is much needed. 
Thank you for making it.

### 5/5 — Mostly good

*2021-08-18, version 1.8*

It's generally a good app and helpful. There are some places which don't in my opinion, belong here but the admins have removed some and continue to act on reports. 
It would be useful if there was some criteria required before listing such as toilets, hand washing and indoor accommodation. 
A note to future users; not being turned away is not the same as biker friendly. 
Ride safe everyone.

### 5/5 — Great for the geographically challenged

*2021-07-24, version 1.7*

I am not the best at geography and this makes me nervous to travel to places I do not know, especially if I’m unsure whether I can take a break at somewhere that welcomes bikers. 
Now I can use this app and choose where I want to go based on time and distance, and be reassured that I am heading to somewhere that will welcome me. 
An app that gives you an overview of recommended destinations for others to go and eat cake in beautiful welcoming places… what is not to love!! 
Cracking app!

### 2/5 — Worked.....then didn’t.

*2021-05-01, version 1.3*

I think the app is a great idea, particularly if there was a function added for users to add there own spots. This could then be considered by an “admin” to decide if it can go on the map for everyone to see. 
However, the priority should be to get the app working constantly. I used mine 3 or 4 times then it just stopped working.

### 5/5 — A must have!

*2021-04-27, version 1.3*

Excellent. A must have for anyone who likes to explore, expand and support UK businesses 👍🏍☕️🤛🏻

### 3/5 — Great idea doesn’t work yet

*2021-04-04, version 1.1*

Great resource but unfortunately needs further tweaking to work without constant glitches on my two year ole iPhone.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not as good as I hoped

*2026-02-13, version 1.16*

Downloaded this app in readiness for the 2026 Bike n' Brew season as had been led to believe, from the FB UK Biker Cafes page, that the cafes supporting the event would be mapped. 
Very disappointed as it seems that only cafes in Wales are listed for Bike n' Brew.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2024-11-25, version 1.12*

Just wasted money!! Find another app

### 1/5 — Not worth the time or effort

*2023-10-27, version 1.12*

Over an hour wasted on this and the website & Facebook sites…. All seem pretty useless to be honest…. Waste of £2.99

### 1/5 — Don’t bother - not biker cafes

*2021-08-30, version 1.9*

App just shows cafes, farm shops, truck stops, and pubs in the area. These have nothing to do with bikers. Some have no parking. You’re better off just googling “cafe near me” and you’ll get the same responses. I’ve tried to use this several times and never found a “biker” cafe. Not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Non existent cafes

*2021-04-04, version 1.1*

I live near to Thrapston Northants, whilst checking for local places to meet fellow bikers for a coffee I have found a least 3 non existent cafe listed within 5 miles of where I live. If this is typical of the rest of the country, you really need to sort out your app. As it is it isn’t worth using as it’s not reliable.

### 1/5 — Downloaded and crashes on start up!

*2021-03-22, version 1.0*

Loaded deleted and reloaded multiple times, constantly crashing on start up. 
DO NOT BUY a waste of money.
Looks like the other reviews are from mates

### 1/5 — Won’t open.

*2021-03-22, version 1.0*

The App won’t open 😡 just goes back to the phone

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2021-03-22, version 1.0*

Open up the app and it flashes and nothing, won’t open up at all. Would be a good app if it worked. Please fix this problem.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2021-03-22, version 1.0*

I have paid and downloaded the app. When I tried to open it it crashes.  So I tried to contact the support page and that has been removed. So no working app and no support page. Not happy !!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-03-22, version 1.0*

App won’t even open.Have deleted and downloaded twice and still does not work.Trying to use on iphone8 but have had no luck whatsoever.Disappointing.will only let me rate it with one star but i wouldn’t give it that if possible.

### 5/5 — Useful and stable

*2026-08-01, version 1.22*

Fantastic app especially having the separate map for the bike and brew event. Would love to see it extended with summary stats of visited cafes, nearest cafes (including opening time adjustment) etc - hope it continues to evolve

### 5/5 — Biker apps in the Maps

*2026-07-27, version 1.22*

Hi there great app ,
Can you add more apps in the map selections please,
I use “Detecht” it would be great if this was in the list as I could load it in  straight from your app 
Other than using google maps which isn’t designed for bike trips in the twisty’s 🏍️😁👍

### 5/5 — Motorrad Riders Ltd

*2026-07-17, version 1.22*

What a great app!  I have sent this all to our ride leader teams.  Cafes, Fuel, Accommodation ++, this is a first class app, I’m sure it will be a ride leaders App of choice.  Thank You. Dave Smith

### 5/5 — Brilliant resource for UK bikers

*2026-07-04, version 1.22*

A brilliant guide to biker cafés around the country, especially with the addition of the Bike & Brew venues. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great app thank you (with a slight suggestion)

*2026-06-18, version 1.21*

So this is the first and only app I have paid for, and I’m am not disappointed, lots of locations for cafes, pubs and lodgings all (hopefully) biker friendly. Just started the MARK B&B passport and really enjoying finding new places, made a lot easier with this app, previously I was looking up each individual location on the website then googling routes and navigation, but this will make things so much easier, thank you.
One slight suggestion if possible… could the opening times be added to the locations please? I understand with the amount of locations this is no easy task but would be super useful.

### 5/5 — Just some suggestions

*2026-04-12, version 1.17*

Loving the app, very helpful for finding places, especially for the bike and brew passport. With that could the place numbers be added to marker, would make it so much easier to locate in the passport. Also the ability to change location colour for places visited.
Like I said suggestions.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-06, version 1.17*

Great app I can find a biker friendly cafe anywhere I decide to ride too

### 5/5 — Great for finding a new place

*2026-01-19, version 1.16*

If you’re a biker that likes coffee, bacon and cake, then this app is for you. All the best biker welcoming cafes are in here. Pick a location, find the nearest cafe, plot a route and set off. 💪🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Amazingly useful & frequently updated.

*2025-04-08*

A brilliant guide to biker cafés around the country, really useful when visiting new areas that you’re not familiar with. Thanks for all the work put into developing it.

### 5/5 — The Garage Bar & Grill

*2025-02-13, version 1.13*

The Garage Bar & Grill. Burnhope, Lanchester, Durham…

Definitely one of the Best Biker venues in North England! 
Great food, Alcohol if wanted & the venue is comfortable with many interesting bike themed or motor memorabilia. Plenty of parking & inside or outside seating 
Outstanding!
