1. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Battery Hog. Used 85% of battery on two hour ride. Very buggy, loses settings randomly, loses sensors 2-3 times a week, including Apple Watch. Auto pause feature can’t be manually overridden. Watch app won’t stop running after end of ride.

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

   Letdown.. Longest and most intense ride I’ve ever done. And the app skipped recording a 10 mile section in the middle of my ride. No signs that it wasn’t recording while I was riding. Extremely frustrated.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Douglas. Cadence taking away options to get people to submit to pro and elite and pay for it. Now I’m using a different bike app.

4. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Tracking for ads. They track you across all activities and apps for ads and there is no option to opt out. Deleted it as soon as I saw that. Vendors are free to ignore do not track and most of them do.

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

   Just made for cash grab. Worthless, full of adds, can’t even go from page to page without an app popping up. I don’t even want to try the 7day period.

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Waste of money. Application does little to nothing that any Apple based application does for free. I paid for a full year, don’t make my mistake.

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

   Dopa connection to device. I want to like it, but lots of time wasted trying to get heart rate sensor and cadence sensor reading. Worked for a day then stopped.

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

   Crashes on open. Less than a month after purchase app crashes during launch

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Unusable waste of time. The app looks nice but an ad for the Paid version pops up and won’t go away

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

    Turn By Turn Navigation Beyond Poor. Could be very good but the Navigation simply does not work. If I export a route created in Komoot the data (route and distance) is aligned perfectly, however if you try and navigation either by manually adding waypoints or using the auto match function it keeps creating random changes of route for no specific reason. It’s a total waste of time and completely ruins what could be very good app

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

    Rubbish. Rubbish app! Useless, spend money and doesn’t even work. Other free apps are better than this one. Really frustrating!!!

12. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Unable to test app. Tried to test the app for 5 mins and got 10 ads, impossible to cycle and remove those ads, dangerous, please allow users to test.

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

    Heart rate monitoring issue on Cadence. I used Cadence on iPhone 13, Apple Watch 5 and Wahoo cadence sensor last year, no issue. This year I upgraded to iPhone 14 and Apple Watch 8 Ultra with same Wahoo cadence sensor, I cannot get the heart rate monitoring anymore and sometimes issues to sync with Wahoo sensor.

14. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Charged for trials, and buggy. I’ve attempted to get a trial for this app multiple times and each time I’ve been immediately subscribed and charged for a year. Figured I’d give it a shot this time, but after using it for a few rides, I’ve requested another refund. Promising for the future, but just not quite there yet. I really wanted to love it, but it’s just too buggy with my sram power meter and garmin varia. Power meter frequently disconnects, and varia would cause the screen to flash with a red tint even when no vehicles were present. I don’t have these issues with rwgps. Sadly rwgps doesn’t have several features, but it works. Also route navigation takes too much effort to make sure cue points are correct.

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

    Navigation is annoying. The navigation is pretty annoying as it tries to direct me through parking lots and won’t just stay on the main road. It also beeps incessantly if you get off the bike a go for a walk mid-ride. I could not figure out how to stop it without closing out the app.

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

    Colorful. i do not support its idea of not having an account because it leads to the difficulty of having all the info on the iphone and ipad, it can be done with some various jujitsu importing moves that is completely unnecessary. if your considering using the ipad as an workout platform for indoor riding it is not ready for prime time. i do appreciate all its color coding for speed, power, elevation. i do not find it necessary for distance though and would like the option to not have that. many, many customizing options for your screen use. would also like to automatically upload to more third party apps, Wahoo, not everyone uses Strava.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Free to a degree. It works but so does the free strava and other gps tracking app do exactly the same. Each come to their own through subscription package which I refuse to buy. So use as basic cycle computer. Or buy wahoo Garmin hammerhead etc proper cycling gps unit cheaper in the long run.

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Was great then something happened. Unfortunately something has happened and it’s now unusable for my use case Apple Watch connection constantly drops out and speed coming off sensors is fluctuating wildly. Does not happen in alternative products Annoyed to have taken up the year subscription

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Power meter reading requires subscription. Power meter reading requires subscription. Not sure why such a simple feature requires sub, anyways plenty of free apps out there that provide such feature

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

    How do I delete an activity from the history?. I’ve looked to find a way to delete at activity from the history and I can’t find it. That seems like a basic thing to do. Is it because the app wants to keep an eye on my activity? Maybe I should find a new app.

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

    Modification suggestion. Nice app - missing something I believe would be helpful. Delete or Clear. The ability to delete an individual segment or to reset completely would be a feature I would appreciate. Thanks.

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

    Reliability concerns. I like the software it’s easy to read and has the ability to collect a great deal of data However it drains a fully charged iPhone 14 within 2 hours. I’ll need to eliminate everything I don’t need on screen as I ride

23. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    My thoughts. Comparing this app with other apps. Cadence has similar features but also offers conditions such as wind and temp which is nice. However, even with the basic app, it has too many ads. Far more than others.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not as free as they make it sound. While the basic functions are great to use. The navigation and heart rate function which is why I downloaded it are a monthly subscription even though it is using my Apple Watch

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

    Varia. App is fantastic in every respect but I’m having issues with it keeping the Bluetooth connection to my Garmin Varia. Native Varia iOS app works fine so I don’t think it’s an issue with the unit itself. Support is also good from the developer, so if Varia isn’t a deal breaker for you you can’t go wrong with this app.

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

    Not bad missing stuff for indoor cycling or spinning.. Good app for cadence and other stats. I use primarily for Spinning on the bike. Missing a few parameters. But been using it for years.

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

    Problème avec le GPS. Lorsque j’utilise cadence sur mon iPhone, à vélo, après quelques minutes le GPS ne semble plus fonctionner. L application est toujours active, la vitesse passe à 0 hm/h. Je dois redémarrer le téléphone pour réactiver le GPS. IPhone 13 Pro.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    New to cadence. I paid for the full version which was a Waste of money to get the extra screens as I only cycle . Oh well. It seems accurate and gps isn’t hit n miss like Strava is now.

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

    The app is excellent. But it’s not for me. I want to be clear that this truly is a really great app, I used the free trial and after 2 rides unfortunately I’m not going to continue my subscription. It can connect to all your devices, heart rate, cadence, power meters, shifters, radars. It does Live Segments on Strava (typically reserved for the big brand gps cycle computers). My problem is truly I ride too much to be able to reliably use as it drains my battery. This isn’t a fault of the app either, just our screens are battery hogs and when using your phone as a cycle computer it is always on and when in the broad daylight, your phone runs hotter and needs to keep the screen brighter. I did a 45 mile ride today, and had to cut it short because my phone had plummeted to 10% in less than 3 hours. I can work a full 9 hour shift at work and still have 40% of battery left. This is a great app it does everything anybody would need, but if you are trying long distance, you’re just going to need a dedicated cycle computer

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

    Awesome App!. I love this app. It has great features, it’s incredibly customizable, and it’s cheaper than buying a cycling computer with the same features!
