1. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Forces ads on you. I understand a free app may play ads every once in a while but these guys take it to another level. When you try to navigate in the app, they will shove an ad up and not give you the option to close it. It stays there indefinitely. You have to quit the app multiple times to get it to finally go away. Used to use this app all the time and it didn’t do that but now it does so I am deleting it after writing this review and looking for an app that is more respectful of their users. Suggest you find another app instead of this one

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

   Lelynn resort. So far It’s done everything I wanted it to do without glitches. I had 8 or 9 years with my other bike app. It froze one day, lost all my history. Hopefully this one don’t allow that to happen.

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

   A JOKE. I tried to register twice, each time after entering all info. it stated invalid credentials. It kept taking me in circles. Now that you have my email and credit card information you’re probably running away with it and I’m left with nothing. WHAT A SCAM!

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

   Credit card? No way.. Anybody that gives up their credit card number for a free app is a fool. No way. Deleted during activation.

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

   For me, it does display spreed. Just installed the app. Both sensors are recognized and connected by Bluetooth. Tried several configurations using my Rockbrothers cadence and speed sensors. At no point could I get the speed to display. Wasted lots of time and saw a lot of ads. I am moving on.

6. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Garbage ad loader. Every button you push loads a new ad. There are timers on ads so you have to wait before you can turn it off. If you want to watch ads instead of ride your bike, this is for you.

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

   Manual restart?. Don’t waste your money. Every time you stop for a minute or so the app has to be manually restarted. This is really a bone head feature. I want my money back!

8. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Here's a hint. The free version interrupts your rides in the middle with a popup asking if you are enjoying the app and want to upgrade. Annoying. GPS seems inaccurate, speed reading all over the place when riding at consistent pace. Deleted, moving on.

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

   Garbage app. Wasted a huge ride on this garbage. uninstalled mid ride.

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

    HORRIBLE!. Don't waste your time on the free ap. It resets on its own and does not allow you to test a complete ride without buying the full ap.

11. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Inaccurate. I got this app on my iPhone 4 and my husband got Cyclemeter on his. I put them both in my bike basket and turned them on at the same time. His app was completely accurate and worked great. This app was totally off. By a lot. For example it said we rode for 15 minutes when really it was 47 minutes straight. It said we went .9 miles when really it was 6. I don't know if it was the app or my phone but it didn't work at all.

12. ★★★★★background recording stops and loses the whole ride

    Crapapp. Doesn’t record anything since it pauses as soon as you switch screen off. So what do you do watch the screen through your whole ride with your expensive phone mounted on handlebars- not safe and not practical. I want an app that will work away in my pocket whilst I get on with riding safe with my phone safely stashed away - like my step counter app!

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

    Not good. Exactly what I wanted but the advertising makes it virtually unusable. I have deleted it.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Cannot upload. While the app interface is very clear and well laid out, there seems to be no way to upload the trips to Strava. Very cumbersome to have to email yourself a .gpx file then open Strava in a browser to input (cannot input from phone to Strava app) I bought this app as it said it would allow the .gpx file to be uploaded to other apps but having paid, I find that the list of apps does not include Strava, which is surely the most widely-used cycling recording system. Please add functionality to allow a trip to be synced directly with Strava from the app

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

    Disgraceful - do not download.. Opened straight into a full screen advert. Literally couldn’t look at a single screen to see if it was worth upgrading. Disgraceful piece of rubbish.

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

    Jarrad. Shame there isn't half a star it looks good but is totally 💩💩💩 doesn't even work !!

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

    Chocolate teapot. Might work if you buy it? Resets constantly if you don't

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

    Doesn't Work !!!. Have a number of free cycle comp apps I use. Tried this one out and it failed to record anything.

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

    Not usable. Pop-up to upgrade appears incessantly making the app unusable as a free app. Could not even use for one ride to evaluate. Deleted.

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

    Don't bother. This app has potential but insults the customer by constantly interrupting riding sessions with full screen adds. Every time you need it you look down and the screen is all add. It encourages dangerous riding when mid descent you need to start playing with your phone to get it working again (also illegal in my country). Also doesn't save rides on the free version and doesn't tell you until you try. Clearly the developers have never ridden a bike or just don't give a damn. Won't buy the pro version as a matter of principle. Now where is the delete button?

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

    Buggish stuff. Bought a pro version. Thought it is better than free. But not. Several times got good rides but at the end this app shows nothing, like I was staying still. Very very disappointed. No records and my money went for a cupatee for the “developer”. Don’t buy.

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

    Nice when it works. I do like the interface but the app will periodically stall (stop tracking) about 30% of the time because it lost location services. Very frustrating for obvious reasons. I’m running current OS on iPhone 15. Please fix this!

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

    Ad dispenser!. Opening screen is a loud obnoxious casino ad! No thanks

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

    Very basic. Tracks basic stats, not very sophisticated for the money. I have to reset the app twice every new trip or it won’t track. I’ll be moving on to something else.

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

    Check other apps first. Doesn't save elevation changes. Free app advertises in the middle of rides! Constantly! Won't run as background app. Only got it cause it rotates display. And even that is backwards compared to most apps. Co Could be a great app IF it 1) saved elevation changes 2) rotated display correctly and 3) DID NOT advert in free app! 4) would be nice to export too. Simple stuff for experienced devs.

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

    Additional details and titles are missing. I would like to see the option of having additional averages and statistics to show on my home screen and be recorded to the Files

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

    Works well in some ways. Keeps accurate distance, but any time I stop for more than a minute or two, it shuts off and has to be told to resume. Getting it to transmit to my iPhone health app is tricky. But it’s not bad.

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

    good app for the price. good app for the price. keeps good accuracy. i run along with my apple watch. matches plus or minus .2 miles fir distance. i do love that it maps my route and shows distance per mile. my ask would be to also show the average speed per mile on map. the apple app does and it is very helpful for training and logging rides.

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

    Cyclecomp. I really like this app except if I leave the app for any reason, it stops. Is there a way for the app to continue to run in the background if I want to answer my phone or send a text.

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

    Not for mtn biking. I love the app for roads. I bought the upgrade and granted background access, however it still fails to record full rides when in pocket on mtn bike trails. Very hit and miss as to what it tracks.
