   Requires “Always” access to location services, not just while you’re using it.. Requires “Always” access to location services, not just while you’re using it.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Poor User Interface. This might be good if the U.I. wasn’t so confusing and hard to read. Causes more rides to be lost than recorded. Audible progress updates are so faint as to be inaudible. (Could be problem w/my iPhone I admit). Needs a large, easy to read, unambiguous indication that the app is running or not. Instead has tiny arrow with a ring that disappears in half a sec. Is it running or not? Who knows? Might be. Limited features in free version but with these display shortcomings I’m not motivated to pay for more of the same.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Don’t.... Don’t waste your time. I downloaded the app and works for 3 days after that the GPS never have signal and btw I didn’t touch any of the settings.

4. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

   Make you always use your location. Giving this app 1 star because in order to use you must have location services on always for this app. As opposed to only while in use. App does not protect your privacy.

5. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Stopped working. This app was awesome when I first tried it. Better then most of the other apps I tried. It tracked my bike ride and saved to apple’s health app. However, about a month ago it stopped working. It would randomly stop tracking my ride — sometimes it stopped recording the specifics (ie only the start and endpoints and show my path as the bird flies) and other times, not record anything at all. I hope they fix the app.

6. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

   Privacy intrusive. Requires access to location even when not running. NOT ACCEPTABLE

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   ZERO STARS. this App bites. It shut off in the middle of my ride... AGAIN. I cannot trust it. It won’t upload to Facebook either. There are TOO MANY APPS LIKE THIS ONE.

8. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Clumsy and not saving or sending data. Lost data while trying to figure out how to send riding info to my phone's health app. It's either not clear or doesn't work, so now I'm looking for another App that functions more intuitively.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Stinks. This app really doesn’t work it’s very confusing I think that I’m documenting my bike rides when I go to check nothing I’m done with it

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not a good first impression.. After slogging it for nearly an hour I was pretty disappointed to find that it had lost me after 0.03km. GPS was good and tracking set to always. I was in a residential area so not off the beaten track. First time using and don’t trust that it won’t do the same thing again. Off to a different app for me.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Disappointing. Did a 50 min cycle it counted the time but no calories distance etc

12. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Not working. Hard to navigate and not able get the speed or distance travelled. Worked only once. More importance is given to optional functions such as music.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    To use app they demand the right to constantly track you. The app requires location to be always on so the app can track you all of the time or it will not work at all. If you select to use location only while using the app it won’t work. Why is it necessary to track people all the time? Other apps allow gos tracking only when using the apps. Why can’t these guys do the same??? Must be a reason why they want to track everything we do. I’ve switched to other apps which work properly and don’t require tracking people unless using the app. Its a bad app because you can’t use gps only when using the app and you have to accept being tracked all the time.

14. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Bike App. Nice app tracks everything effortlessly!

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Lots to like.. Once you figure it out there’s lots to like about this app. One glitch is that the music library interface conflicts with Apple Music. Needs better integration to avoid dual media playing! Also it’s fussy if you are under tree cover not near roadway or good cell coverage. I recommend though.

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. It’s has everything you need, easy to read for us old guys . Would like to see heart rate but I have other ways to check that. Would recommend this app to anyone.

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Like the app, needs auto save and one other thing.... I like the usability and simplicity of this app. Only two downers for me: I’ve twice lost ride data because I swiped the app before I hit the little save link (maybe I’m missing an auto-save setting?). And the other thing is that it doesn’t work for me when I have location services set to ‘While Using the App’. I always have to switch it to Always. Address those two things and it’s a 5.

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    This app works well. I use the free version it’s not as good as another I used one android but it is good. It is better than most on iPhone 7.

19. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    As advertised. It works just as advertised, I originally installed an app with more ratings but found this one works much better, simple, easy to navigate, and the music feature to access playlists is built in.

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great stats - Smart functionality. Great app! It is full of data that I use on every ride. I have a request: Allow users to label routes and then use that to compare to previous results on the same route. I use six regular routes, and the comparison feature isn’t useful unless I ran the same route the last time. This label could also be part of the start-up routine, where you select a labeled route and the feedback could give your mile-by-mile status against previous runs.

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Everything I need!. This app has everything I need. Time/mile split/ best mile time. For solitary cyclists that don’t care to share in a community information sharing platform, this is perfect. I wear my Fitbit along with it to get heart rate and calorie burn. The best part is that it’s free! I find that amazing for such a helpful app. Thank you to the developer.

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Ultimate tracker. My wife and I have been using this app for years. Very accurate tracking. Highly recommended.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Recumbent Perfection. Luv this app! I’ve needed it to track my rides. Just a 71yr old post stroke health nut.

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Best app for biking ever!. This app allows me to keep track of every ride I make and shows me where all I went too. I love it! Highly recommended for anyone who loves cycling.

25. ★★★★★stable and reliable performance

    JSF. I’ve used the app for two years and find it to be excellent in all aspects. I’ve had no issues at all. Strongly recommend trying it out as I did and then went with the upgrade.

26. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    You need this app if you…. I wanted to lose weight and get fit. This app helped me to visualize my progress with miles, speed and much more.

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Very practical!. The feature of drawing and saving the GPS maps is a tremendous help for daily consistency when comparing the distances. The voice alert with milestones is also an excellent feature.

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Works for Me. Truly enjoying this respectful of privacy bike app. Does all that I need. No complaints nor problems. Thanks Mr. Saiger!

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great bike app. I love what this app can track for mountain bike riders. I can compare to last week, last month and last year. Keeps total of miles and time along with best times and distance
