The app itself could be ok, but the extreme unreliability of the service makes it useless. Tracking has to be reliable, simple as that. If the background service is not reliable, the app is useless. I even registered as a premium user, until I found out how unreliable it is.
(free version) Has found some interesting routes I wouldn't have known. The different route types is interesting in theory. Latest version crashed at one point when comparing routes. I see no legend explaining what different green lines mean: map seems to highlight doorzone bike lane on Washington in Philly, but not the parking protected bike lane. Hard to find street names, especially with heat map on.
Great features. good design and overall very easy to use. Just a little pricey for the extra features.
Really disappointed after using this app. Experience was awful. First time it navigated me in deep woods where there wasn't even real road and I picked "smooth ride" option. Okey, gave second chance for this app this time it showed roads that literally don't exist, got a lot of dead ends also again got in the woods where there was a river in the middle of the road. Also navigated to milatary training grounds where I had to turn around and go back 20km. It's better to use Google maps than this.
absolute trash. entering positions doesnt work. navigation is extremely bad. google maps has better navigation for riding a bike. this app drains power like crazy. i suspect malware
I've already unsubscribed. I can see cycle paths on the maps but bikemap clearly can't. Irony! The routes use busy city and suburban streets rather than dedicated bike paths. Even bike paths running adjacent to the route are ignored. I tried again, using the feature to choose only cycle paths but this resulted in ridiculously circuitous routes diverting up and down side and busy main streets, adding more than 3km to a 20km cycle path ride and STILL NOT USING CYCLE PATHS! 🤯
1) Wanted to customize a specific trail. App insists on starting at current location (home) as opposed to letting me designate desired target to plan route. No way to preview. 2) Took them several days to provide a non-response to a simple Q. 3) Battery drain, just trying this thing out, = unreal. 4) Copy + paste "replies" here, ridiculous. 5) Tried the nav around my 'hood; good thing I know the area. So abysmal, quit trial early. Found Komoot; delights across the board.
The app should show have different colors showing the type of the cycling lane : path /gravel /road and most important if the lane is separated from traffic or not. Cycling on a freeway suxx even if it's allowed. Alternately I ended up on a forbidden bridge because no sign was mentioned in the app. The compass should also be lockable, with the north pointing upward.
Picked this app for browser route planning but the experience was frustrating. Navigation lags, and voice directions are delayed to the point of missing turns. It sent me through a creek with ankle-deep roots, resulting in tire puncture, on an ebike route and then to a fenced-off for two years trail under Second Narrows Bridge. Tried other apps after and had no issues. Glad there's a free trial because this would be disappointing to pay for.
good basic route planning, terrible navigation. I like the available routes for where I was visiting. Using premium app with turn-by-turn directions, it announced turns too early, too late or not at all. the map doesn't recenter if I missed a turn, touched the screen or phone. no option to recenter, had to restart app. app would often tell me to do u-turns when the route was going straight. it would freeze on one turn and could not be reset. navigation was just terrible on my pixel 9 pro.
