ROUVY: Real Indoor Cycling App
authentic ratingPeople genuinely love riding real filmed routes from around the world, which feels prettier and more alive than the cartoon graphics of rivals. But the app regularly crashes mid-ride even on a fast connection, and forced updates before the start make you wait 15 minutes when you are already set to pedal. Add complaints about a confusing login and abrupt subscription charges.

About the rating
Reviews are very specific on both sides, crashes on a 5th-gen iPad and Apple TV 4K over Ethernet, glitchy avatars of other riders, disputes over subscription charges. The gap between textAvg 2.84 and storeAvg 3.74 is moderate and reads as real polarization, not manipulation.
