1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Stopped recording. As of the last month or so, if I or my wife starts the app with our watch, it counts down like it is supposed to and appears to be working. But when we check our progress, the app is running but it’s not recording the distance. We have to stop and start the app on our phone. It’s a pain because for the first mile after restarting, we constantly check the phone to make sure it’s working properly. The wife had a 12 mile ride that never recorded.

   the record can not insert to apple Heath. setting - apple heath is on ———————————- all setting is correct, I ride bike last five days, but heath just records two.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   GPS does not work. I have an iPhone 8. The gps does not work for me. All Other apps that have gps function on this phone work fine. Is not comparable with my Garmin watch.

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not working at all. Just paid $4.99 for this app. I turned it on and it will not find my location. Been through all of the app and phone settings. Waste of money. DO NOT PURCHASE

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Upgraded Phone and can not sync with app. I upgraded my phone and can no longer sync app with my phone.

6. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Horrible app. Basic app is 10 times better, however, you only get 10 free tracking sessions before you are required to upgrade. Totally makes that you would have an improved app experience, WRONG!!! Used new app 6 times, totaling 100 bike miles and the history displays a total of 22 miles. Miles incorrect, gps routes incorrect, average speed incorrect. I could go on and on. I gave it a shot. Not worth the frustration, I deleted the app. I read the negative reviews but I didn’t think it would happen to me. Have fun with this whack app

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Do not buy. We downloaded the free app and it was great and then we purchased the $5 upgrade and it’s not recording anything like the free app. What a waste of $10. WE WANT MY MONEY BACK!!! How can I reach the owner of this app?!

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Worst app. It doesn’t do it job right y’all need to come that app better

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Worked briefly. The program worked great! I upgraded and still worked until I had to go and reset my phone back to factory settings. The app reloaded ok but I could not get the application to record miles nor speed i was baking at!!

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    GPS Not Working. I started using this app a few weeks ago and it was excellent. Had a small problem getting my Apple Watch heart monitor working but figured it out. Just went out for a ride on Saturday May 30th and the GPS is not working. This means no speed, no distance, no route, nothing. Makes the app and the $5.00 I spent worthless. Would like a refund if you can’t fix the issue.

11. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Extremely Glitchy. Intermittently stops or pauses. Telling it to “resume” acts like it works, but it doesn’t resume. I’ve lost as many miles as it’s recorded 😔 and there is no way to edit the record to correct it. When it works correctly it’s great, love the stats and the split times. Strongly recommend using a second app to track distance if you want to ensure getting the proper credit.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Watch doesn’t sync with phone, GPS track off. The data on my watch freezes and won’t refresh until I open the app on my phone. Also, the GPS tracked me on Federal Hwy when I was on A1A. I upgraded to have watch support. The free version worked fine.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Fitmeter Bike - GPS. I admit it...I made a mistake. I have two (2) iPhone 8’s - one (1) for work (and paid for by my employer), and one (1) for personal use. With the COVID-19 pandemic keeping me close to home, I decided to fix up my bicycle a bit - including adding a phone holder to the handlebars. I apparently wasn’t thinking clearly, as my thought was to buy this app for my work phone - assuming there was a way to pay for it with my personal AmEx. I neglected to remember that the Apple account on the work phone was inextricably linked to my business AmEx. This is clearly a personal purchase, and one it appears that I will have to explain to my boss - because immediately after the purchase my mistake was clear, and so I quickly requested a refund. It was denied, but gave me a chance to appeal - which I did, explaining the above. The refund was denied a second time. I don’t know if I was denied by a person or algorithm, but I think they’re both jackasses. With all of the money I’ve spent on Apple products over the years - I would have expected some wiggle room. I told them I would re-order on my personal iPhone...to no avail. I suppose their commission percentage off of a $5.99 app is more important than this loyal client’s satisfaction. From a company valued at $1 trillion - I think this is utterly small minded, and frankly...chickenshit. I advise everyone across the globe from purchasing this app, or any of this company’s products. Thanks for nothing. You bunch of twits!

14. ★★★★★sensors and heart rate monitors won't stay connected

    Paid for something that does work.. I just paid for this app so that I could track my speed, cadence and heart rate. However, the only thing it tracked was my heart rate. It showed that the cadence and speed sensors we're connected, but no readings we're being shown. It's a Shane you have to pay for it before you find out if it works with your gear. I'm using just your basic Garmin speed and cadence sensors, but no data was received from them.

15. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Doesn’t store any data.. I am using the full version and every time I track a new session or open the app all previous data is gone. Is there a trick I don’t know or is it a bug?

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    iPhone Battery killer. I had the Fitmeter basic and I loved it. Used the full version today and it drained my iPhone battery in less than 40 minutes!!!! That never happened on the basic version! I wish I never paid for the full version! It’s basically unusable 😡

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Overheats my phone. Tried and deleted. Phone was so hot it displayed an emergency warning. Waste of my $3.99.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    0 stars if possible. DOES NOT WORK!!!. Suckered me in with basic version which worked great. Upgraded to premium. Has not worked.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Do Not Buy This App!. Do not buy this program it does not work with my iOS 11.4 system. I originally downloaded the basic program, tried it and it worked for 10 sessions. Hence, I purchased the premium (Upgrade) version Big mistake the program stop working. It will not record bike sessions or maintain history record of biking events. The program cannot be trusted.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    GPS tracking has a random behavior. GPS feature is not reliable. Occasionally it works, often it does not. Most of the time you end with partial route, making t rear of the data bogus I hope this to be fixed in the next release

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Full version sucks I want a refund. The basic app is much better. Lost all my data when I downloaded the full version and the full version won’t communicate with the other apps I am using. The basic app at least sync’d up with Lose It.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Waste of money. Paid to upgrade from basic, first ride incorrect readings on everything. Wrong distance, wrong speed and didn’t even map where I went, just one straight line from start to finish. They say Jesus could walk on water but according to this one useless app I rode 10 kilometres on water😡😡😡

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Inconsistent drop. This app has caused more annoyance than anything. To the point of occurring daily, it will completely drop current ride Not acceptable

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Problems with Apple Watch. I’ve had the app for a number of months and just began experiencing an issue where the app restarted on my watch multiple times after I finished my ride and ended the session. Needless to say, this is very annoying and drains the batteries of the watch and iphone. I had to delete the app from my watch to solve this problem.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Upgraded!. I would give it a higher score however it did no upload my first 10 ride data from free trial. And every time I go to use it after I paid for upgrade it won’t save data and asked me to upgrade. I want a refund at this point.

26. ★★★★★saving, exporting or sharing the result fails

    Cannot save more than 10 sessions. Bought the full version and still cannot save more than 10 sessions.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Could be better. So far so good except I see know way to use my Apple Watch for pulse (or a way to contact the developer).

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    dud?. free one worked ok, paid one so slow I got home before it logged my halfway stop.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    History. Not communicating with iPhone health app but the basic one did. When I updated from the basic I expected the two to merge and they did not.

30. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Worked like a champ until -. I used this app everyday and clocked all my rides. I loved it. But after a year it started to have issues as I couldn’t check my records and it would for no apparent reason just stop working. I don’t know it is good for only a period of time or I just wore it out. I may try it again as I really liked it but I don’t know if I’ll have a lot of trust in it.
