AVR Base
gamed ratingThe idea sounds tempting, a social network for cyclists where you find ride buddies, clubs and chat rooms, something like a Facebook for bikers. But in practice many cannot even log in, the verification code email never arrives, the app crashes on launch especially after the rename to Jagz, and the pay-to-ride-with-guides model puts people off. The praise is almost entirely about how cool the concept is, not about it actually working.
A 4.76 store score and 92% five-stars do not match the content, which is full of one-stars about crashes on launch, broken email verification, security called insecure by an engineer, and complaints about paying for group rides. Many five-stars are templated and praise the idea or concept rather than real experience, a classic manipulation sign.
