Solid app! The Velo 2 is simple enough to use though perhaps a bit too much clicking to start and stop a ride. I absolutely love the heatmap function in the app to visualize my rides. 2 things that could be addressed are, the navigation isn't quite as efficient or direct as that which is provided in Citymapper and secondly out of my first 44 journeys, I've had 2 that didn't save properly. This also means they didn't get recorded to my heatmap. Thanks Beeline team! Keep iterating this great app

suddenly not saving planned routes which sometimes I have spent ages planning. Tried reinstalling app, factory reset of device (now stuck on "scan to get app" screen) I have reinstalled the app but device won't budge from that screen. I'm currently away with the bike and customer support says they will email in 2 days. Trip ruined. Not good enough.
the app is good, however the road speeds and notifications really need more work with keeping up to date. all too often I'm finding the app listing 40mph roads as 60mph, not the worst issue as I'm paying attention, and an earlier verbal warning of my turn coming up would be nice, sometimes it seems to wait until I'm very near my turning point.
needs better help for permissions within the app. con: there is good assistance on the website if you are getting the prompt to give permissions- but what the app itself says to do doesn't work. the app should offer a link to the website advice along with that message. pros: this app has the best cycling routes- I have found better choices than Google maps and citymapper. it works as well as your phone's GPS, works well on my samsung galaxy a52s. the maps are very clear, showing road names well.
Device suddenly stopped recording. This issue has persisted all month and includes the most recent and previous updates. Routes show proper routing during the ride, but no distance, no time, no movement at all are recorded. Worked fantastic prior to this issue, but is now only half of what it was before.
90% of the time, the app is great. occasionally, usually following an update, it glitches. For me, this has happened twice this year. On the first occasion I was left with a temporarily non-functional Beeline Moto 2 (until I figured out how to reset it - too late for the ride). On the second occasion I lost tracking data, including a 250 mile ride. Displayed speed limits are also not always up to date compared to Google maps (think the new rash of 20 mph limits in towns)
Simple to use. Let the app take you to where you want to go, fast or scenic or enlarge the map and use your own route. Saving routes is simple. Started to loose connection with data or Bluetooth. Emailed help for advice but not getting a reply. Starting to let me down.
App not recording trip stats! I bought the Beeline Moto II a couple of weeks ago based on great reviews. I've recorded 6 rides so far and the past 3 have NOT saved. It shows blank stats for everything. I'm not impressed at having spent $350 on a device that doesn't actually work. Please fix this app, I've seen other reviews here reporting similar feedback so this is clearly a known issue. When the app recorded my 3 trips I was pleased with how it looked etc so really hope you can fix it ASAP.
edit, had to change from 4 to 1 star. once again I had a wonderful 5h trip, marking roads that I like. It was "recorded" as 2 journeys in Beeline. yeah, no trace after them in the app. I can do such rides not to often and I enjoy exploring heatmap to read more about places visited during the trip. nothing this time - exhausted parked at the end, pushed "Finish ride" went to mobile app and... no trace, 1st journey not visible at all, second 0km. Device was working and updating navigation...
I like my beeline Moto 2, it completely replaced my phone. It is NOT perfect and there's a lot of room of improvement. Sometimes I get the wrong exit if there are 2 next to each other on the highway, it doesn't always show both exits, and it does not have very good names for them. I would not have this problem with my phone and google maps, but i am ok with it for now. Edit: Raised by 1 star because they fixed speed cameras in Portugal
