CycleComputer
authentic ratingA simple bike computer with a big readable screen that many like for its clear numbers and route map, with the paid version removing ads. Two real pains: the free version has aggressive advertising, down to casino banners and ads mid-ride, and the app stops recording when it goes to the background or loses location. People also notice distance is consistently underreported versus Apple Watch and Garmin.
Reviews are concrete: people cross-check distance against Apple Watch and Garmin Vivoactive and name the exact gap (4.8 vs 5.08 miles), complain about casino ads and tracking stopping when location is lost. The rating spread is honest.
