An editorial reading of the saved reviews

The app pitches itself as a replacement for an expensive bike computer, and that is what people love: it connects to all sensors, heart-rate, cadence and power pedals, and looks great. What spoils it is that the trial silently turns into a yearly subscription with a charge, the app drains the phone battery within a couple of hours, and in one case it skipped recording an entire section of a ride without warning. Heavy ads even in the basic version and activity tracking for ads with no opt-out add to the frustration.

it drains a fully charged iPhone 14 within 2 hours. I'll need to eliminate everything I don't need on screen as I ride
