Fitmeter Bike Basic - Cycling
doubtful ratingA simple tracker that's pleasant for seeing how far you've gone over the hills and in what time, and it works for dog walks too. It breaks in that the ad at the end of a ride can't be closed without restarting the phone, it demands internet even in the woods where you just want to glance at your speed, and it easily loses data on pause. A special pain is that after a dozen rides it demands the paid version just to save history, and it won't push data to Health.
The gap between storeAvg 4.77 and textAvg 3.88 sits alongside short empty fives like 'Living it' and 'Living living', while the substantive reviews are about data loss, needing internet in the woods and glitchy GPS. There's a Russian review about the network requirement, so the audience is real, but the fives look thin.
