VeloCore is the app for demanding cyclists and e-bikers. GPS, routes, places to stay, bivouacs, charging stations and community: everything you need before and during your rides. HIGH-PRECISION GPS Record every kilometre accurately, even with the screen off. Barometric elevation, altitude profile, live speed and distance: everything is captured in real time, in the background. PLAN YOUR ROUTES Draw your route, follow the elevation profile, export to GPX and find your routes again from one ride to the next. CYCLISTS AND E-BIKES: FIND THE ESSENTIALS Ride long distances with peace of mind: - Bike-friendly accommodation (hotels, lodges, guest houses) - Bivouacs and shelters for adventurers - Charging stations for e-bikes - Water points, bakeries and resupply stops Whether on a bikepacking weekend or a long crossing, VeloCore shows you where to sleep and recharge at every stage. A COMMUNITY OF CYCLISTS Share your rides, photos and favourite spots, meet cyclists around you, organise group rides. You choose what you share: position, online status and visibility radius are one tap away. SAFETY A three-level SOS, crash detection during your ride and emergency calls to the local number. The SOS does not replace emergency services: in an emergency, call 112 or your local emergency number. FULL ANALYSIS - Barometric ascent and descent (more accurate than GPS alone) - Detailed post-ride summary - Complete history of your performances - GPX export of every ride LIVE ACTIVITIES Key metrics on the Dynamic Island and the Lock Screen.

Your first ride stays on your phone; when you want the community (posting, messages, places, group rides), create your account in one step and everything you did comes with you. Guests never appear on other riders' maps. Live group ride: "Ride it" opens the cockpit with the participants, the gap under each avatar and voice alerts when someone drops off. Visible on the map as soon as the app is open, riding or not; the "only during a ride" setting is still available. SOS alert: Message and Call buttons on the cockpit and the Radar; audio call with ringtone, to accept or decline, with a network relay to get through 4G/5G. Offline maps: downloaded areas finally show without network; older areas are refreshed once over Wi-Fi. Premium trial end announced three days ahead; the yearly plan comes first, with its real monthly price. Stability improvements and various fixes. ### 1.2.6 — 2026-09-09 Draw your route: trace your loop or itinerary with a finger on the map, VeloCore smooths the line, snaps it to the roads and removes out-and-back detours; via points stay editable in the preview. Full-screen route preview, with a back button, to build your loops comfortably. Redesigned ride summary: the map shows the path already ridden and the planned route, with time, distance, average, max, elevation gain and remaining distance. Map & Services: an overloaded map server is no longer mistaken for an empty area; adjustable search radius and an "Expand" button. The Challenges tab opens the Arena. Planner: the preview frames your route; spots show all their photos. The "Ride in progress" banner no longer appears by mistake; Premium status is displayed correctly for every account entitled to it. Improved stability and various fixes. ### 1.2.5 — 2026-09-03 Community open to everyone: feed, stories, messaging, Arena, events and SOS available without a subscription. Premium clarified: unlimited routes, AI planning, offline maps, FIT/TCX exports and detailed analyses (Fitness, power, laps). Basic account: 5 saved routes, with a counter. Free trial offered only when you are actually eligible; purchase restoration with clear messages. Settings: every visible setting now has an effect (theme, units, cockpit, social, watch). Garage synced across devices and reliable bike deletion; user blocking enforced everywhere. Privacy: notification tokens and coach preferences are stored outside the public profile. Improved stability and various fixes. ### 1.2.4 — 2026-08-31 The "Show the full route" button now frames your whole route in one tap, and the view stays until you recenter. New routes are no longer wrongly flagged as low resolution. The elevation profile is kept after repairing an older route. Fixes and stability improvements. ### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-27 The cockpit Recap button now opens a real summary: live ride numbers, loaded route preview, or an empty state with direct access to planning. The Off-route bubble is now readable: white text on a dark background, orange kept for the alert. Various fixes and improvements. ## Apps similar to VéloCore | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Cycling Coach AI: Bike Plan](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cycling-coach-ai-bike-plan/id6758742887) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Sports | | [COTACOL](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cotacol/id1526464862) | — | Free | Sports | | [CLUB 45](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/club-45/id6737120435) | — | Free | Sports | | [SafeRace](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/saferace/id6742373439) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Sports | | [ColQuest](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/colquest/id6743229570) | — | Free | Sports | | [Selle Smp](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/selle-smp/id1456659093) | — | Free | Sports | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
