1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Another money scam app. App makes it hard to cancel your subscription and makes you do it online charging $50, not worth it at all.

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

   They need you to pay first. This app ask me to pay before showing me what the app all about the care only about get your money not giving you real value

   Garbage. This app literally says that my bike ride that I did that was probably 7 miles said it was 4 me and my buddy’s figured out that a big loop in our neighborhood was 1 mile this terrible app said it was .1. I don’t want to hear the developers apologies just make it better. I deleted this app after my ride. Oh! And also this app says that I went through a golf course when I was only on streets and side walks. DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS APP.

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

   Keeps crashing….. The App not the bike! Love it when it works - hate is when it freezes mid ride and I loose my data and route!

   Dangerous. I used this to navigate cycling solo from Stevenage to Land’s End and ended up in almost impassable trail covered with thorns, gated private property where I have to knock on the house of the owners, cattle pen and nearly trampled and blocked passages which nearly made me abandoned the trip. Google maps saved me.

   Unsafe. I wanted to ride with my toddler from Heaton Norris Stockport to East Didsbury. I knew a route that would be paved, flat, 30miles per hour max speed limit. Instead decided to try the app choosing the easy route, minimum climbs and paved. The app took me through muddy overgrown wooden paths, lots of climbs so had to push the bike several times as I had a toddler with me, then through an industrial estate with lorries passing me and a road with car driving at 50 miles an hour. Had to switch back to google map half way. Use with caution.

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Very poor - used once and it suggested overgrown unused footpaths for an easy ride. Downloaded today flowing reading the reviews. Created a 10km local ride. Went out with my partner and it took us to unpassable (even on foot!) overgrown footpaths. Cancelling the subscription and deleting straight away. No good for it’s intended purpose.

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

   Rubbish. If there was such thing as minus stars I’ll give it. It’s terrible at directing you and always errors while riding. Terrible navigation too

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

   Unable to plot any routes. Just get a server error whenever I try 😢

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

    DELETE, DELETE, DELETE. No wonder it doesn’t show any reviews - it’s a ripoff!

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Nothing is working.. I purchased a subscription, but the app doesn't recognize it!! Nothing is working.

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

    I like it but. I love the way it find routes through neighborhoods and behind business and cut throughs. I love that. However I’ve noticed that the voice directions stop and not until maybe an hour after I’m back home if the app is still technically open on my iPhone even though I’ve stopped and saved my ride the voice narration will just start speeding through the directions. Super annoying. Other than that I do like the app. Currently comparing it to Strava and I give Cyclers the edge due to the route options it gives me depending on how many miles I want to ride. Which it counted calories that would be nice.

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

    Fails to log rides. Lately, the app is increasingly failing to save rides. I’ll start a ride and it works fine during the ride, pausing appropriately and showing the route taken so far. When I end the ride, the app will show the ride, but I won’t be able to use the Edit Ride feature to add comments, and when I press the X to close the ride, the ride will not be found in the log. Please fix this as otherwise there isn’t a real point to using the app.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    New algorithm is terrible. Wow. This used to be a 5 star app, even the free version. Now with an “updated” algorithm that is worse than before. Deciding to lock more features behind the paywall is certainly a choice…

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Paywall but good.. A little too much paywall but it’s a good app.

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Very nice. A couple of suggestions.. I like this app a lot so far. It would be perfect if it had an option for keeping North up when navigating (I like to be able to easily see what direction I am going in) and if it could tell me what the next turn is and how for away (like most navigation apps). Without the latter I have to pay a more attention to what the map is showing and sometimes miss a turn. Also please disable autocorrect when inputting destination into navigation.

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Wonderful app !. There are many reasons for which I admire this app: the route planning which is seamless, the battery optimisation including the OLED aware mode, as well as the overall user interface. I would give the app five stars, but unfortunately it’s not quite perfect. There are a few bugs including not being able to change the speed and distance measurement from mi to km, which is rather impractical. Perhaps it’s due to my region, but I have tried over and over and haven’t been able to change it. Nevertheless, this is by far the best cycling app I know.

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Lo mejor. La mejor app de toda la vida del Mundo mundial

19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Loving It!. I’ve only used the app for one ride, and I’m already loving it. The app makes planning a ride so easy. If I need to make sure I have a rest/water stop, then I can just add a gas station or convenience store as a waypoint. It is giving me routes I might never plan on my own. SO worth it!

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Asi najlepší plánovač trasy pre bike. Super. Chcelo by to ešte synchronizáciu s apple health a komunikáciu s panasonic ebike displayom.

21. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Ride records. I love using this app to record rides and follow trails. I can see what’s ahead and that helps me plan the rest of my ride.

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    The best. The best app

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Route nav. I love the route navigation that helps you avoid busy streets and gives you routes within suburban neighborhoods

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Made by people who care. I use this app to find new routes to places I want to go. Unfortunately, I can't depend on their navigation 100% of the time because it likes to suggest midblock crossings from one neighborhood to the next while crossing a figurative freeway. However, this app gets regular, impactful updates so I'm hopeful this will get better. Thanks for the app, guys!

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Best route app for lite mobility/bikes/walking. Only missing read aloud

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Look no further. This app populates some fantastic routes and gives you the pros and cons for each route. The most bikable route this app gave me was not in Google/Apple Maps and is FAR better. Get this app if you want to travel safer with more peace of mind via bike.

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    My Favorite Bike Planning App. Great app for both planning and logging your rides. Provides up to five alternate routes, in order of bike-friendliness, speed, and distance. One *really* great feature is the ability to preview (via color-coding) various road conditions - trail vs road, surface, traffic, and *grade*. Being able to preview how steep a route is is invaluable in a hilly city like Seattle. There are switches that also guide the route choices, including avoiding steep climbs. The logging works well also, and provides similar color coding for speed. Overall, this is my first choice for planning a bike route - if I had to choose only one app for my cycling needs, this would be it.

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app for bike ride planning. I use this app on a weekly basis in Prague and I’ve been very satisfied with it so far. I love the ability to report hazard for the benefit of the bike rider community.

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Lovely app to use. This app is lovely to use, specially for new people who are biking

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Fantastic so far. Been a long time komoot user but this app had a lot more options for routes surprisingly around New forest, and seemingly more customization
