ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fitmeter Bike Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fitmeter Bike Basic has 13K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Fitmeter Bike Basic's written reviews are positive against 91% of sixthreezero Pedaling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fitmeter Bike Basic ships an update monthly, sixthreezero Pedaling every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
