Early days, but so far I'm really happy with the app. Did a canal route and this helped immensely. Once I have a bit of spare cash I will try the full experience. A good app so far so good.. will come back to update once I unlock the plus through subscription, which I must say is reasonable..
This is especially good for finding alternative quiet routes. The maps are detailed and easy to follow you can save your routes for later use. Can even use abroad e.g. France.
edit2: the ads are almost making this unusable... edit1: not a big fan of the constant subscribe spam of the massively overpriced pro plan... original: But if you are looking for a free app to track your cycling this is the one. as in this one appears to be the only one to let you do actual tracking without paying
Easy to use. Love that you can view different aspects of a trip such as elevation, traffic levels, surface, etc. You can include your bike type to get more accurate timings, e.g. electric. Maps show cycle racks, and for those who want it, your routes can include going down one-way streets the wrong way or using footpaths!
This turned out to be a frustrating app to use. With the phone in my pocket as I cycled, I relied on a Bluetooth headset. So when the app told me to turn right instead of left, or left instead of right, I had to stop, get the phone out and check where I really needed to go. At one point, the app did not draw the route so I had no idea where I was supposed to be going. Another time, as I was cycling along a 1 mile straight road, it kept on saying that it was recalculating the route.
So far so good! I love the ability to set your preferences and it giving you a match score with several options (and the fastest one regardless of preferences). I haven't seen this on other apps. Also you have the ability to set a distance and it will recommend routes around you that match your route preferences and distance. Looking forward to fully testing it out (I got a flat a quarter of the way through my first route with it yesterday)
A great app for biking. Gives lots of safe bike routes with very clear directions. My only complaint: too many time wasting questions about ride rating, save routes, and other annoying factors that really annoy me when all I want is to ride the bike. Otherwise, the best for finding bike routes, just bike routes. Very few whistles and bells: just safe and cool roads for biking for just about anywhere.
For route planning Cyclers outshines rivals like Strava, Google Maps, and Komoot. I ride in a bicycle-hostile area with heavy traffic and no dedicated lanes. This app goes above and beyond to uncover hidden neighborhood routes that other apps simply miss. It's like finding a secret passage while others are stuck in a traffic nightmare. You have full control to customize your routes and preferences effortlessly. I highly recommend Cyclers for a safe and enjoyable ride!
Overall good, it's updated most of the time with the current trails. Sometimes trails don't match with the type of trail the app think it is but usually not a problem. Better than most of the cycling apps. It's major problem is editing routes, no simple way to do it and if done later navigation can be chaotic. It would be awesome to have a Strava link.
Can give you some OK routes but failed both on the free tier and paid at getting me off pavement. The gravel setting, even with the paid option of "prefer unpaved", gave me routes which were 90-100% paved at almost any distance. Even then, the one with the most unpaved miles was the lowest match score... May give it another go in a year or so but as of today, it's rather useless considering shared routes available on other apps.
