bike.App - GPS for Cycling
authentic ratingA simple free ride tracker that wins people over with a readable screen for older riders, per-mile splits and voice callouts. The core pains are real: it demands Always location access rather than only While Using, and some people lose recorded rides when the app crashes or gets closed before saving. It serves some folks well for years while others find GPS stops picking up signal after a couple of days.
Reviews vary in length and carry specifics: people mention per-mile splits, voice distance callouts, saving the route map, syncing with Apple Health. Many have logged rides for years, and the criticism is equally concrete.
