Reviews for Motorcycle riding with Motobit

← Back to Motorcycle riding with Motobit

I am currently sitting in Emerald qld attempting to plan a route back south to the Gold coast, simple start, emerald to Springsure to rolleston to bauhinia. No matter what I try I cannot get even that start of the route planned, rolleston is not recognised as a town name whatsoever, taping in the map to set a waypoint and it will backtrack me to emerald despite there being a highway between.

Quite good but unable to rate higher than 3 stars as the imperial option is not working correctly. Yes, on the route the symbol changes from km to ml but unfortunately the distance shown is always kilometres. The conversion is not displaying the correct number.

Promising. For me it would be super important to have the tour property (fast, highway, winding, etc.) set between two way points instead for the whole tour. So you could alternate between highway and winding depending on the situation.

It's sad, it seems that the app is on a good route to becoming an alternative to the extremely overpriced Calimoto app but it's not yet there. On the positive side the interface looks clean and there is a lot of features packed into it. Unfortunately all of this provides no benefit at all as the route planning functionality is totally broken. The round trip does not work at all. No matter the adjustment, no route is ever found.

How do I set it to no motorways? Surely there's a way ? Also the automated round trip is awful, it works sometimes and only if ur doing small circles, cover a bit of water and it doesn't find u a route. Just paid 25 quid. Sort it out please :)

Great idea but poor execution. Im in UK so navigation lag's behing real time. Turns are closer than map showes so easy to miss it if you have two turns near each other. Issues on speech today going on m25 (anticlockwise) and split to m26 to the right she was saying keep right to m25 lol. Lots of other stuf like that. Yes and miles are turned on but still showing km... Needs fully supported cameras location and current speed and speed limit... Way behind normal navigations in this sense

First the app will not navigate me across a ferry right by my house. Seems to avoid without an option to include. Then I get a notice that my premium subscription will be canceled with no option to renew. Info link on the vendors website just go to a blank email address. Very disappointed.

Hopeless. Can't use without an account. The only round trip it was able to find from my house was 7 hours long and you can't ride a route longer than 100km without paying their ludicrous membership fee. I can't see any way to set route length. No where near enough app for that price. Edit, the 7 hour ride route from my house was almost entirely outside of the circle I'd set. If I make the circle any smaller it fails to find any route at all.

Motobits key thing is that the speed alert when comming up to corner is helpful. The review of a trip doesn't allow you to scroll into your trip and say slowly step a corner to eval speed,angle ect like some other apps do. It has some nice features but that's one I wish it had.

So far really enjoying the app. I'm just missing one huge feature. When planning my ride I want to be able to choose which driving style is used between way points. For instance: I live in a city and want to get out as fast as possible = highway. After that I would like some windy routes through nature. Then when going back, highway again. I have seen this feature in Calimoto and really hope it'll be added SOON. It's a must have. No brainer.

Very good. Is it possible in the future to have in navigation also the speed limit for that portion of the road?

Cool app. Plots routes with many choices of type route (twisting, etc.). Links to HD Boom system easily. Using it on my 2025 Tri Glide.

Edit from previous. I know it's a work in progress but only just used the actual navigation rather than the just tracking my ride and it was so dangerous, the at a glance symbols tell you to take roundabouts the wrong way (right side of road) there is also zero line on the map showing where you are going so you can't glance at directions whatsoever, have to completely rely on audio cues which when connected to intercoms isn't always possible. There's more but I can't fit in 500 characters.

Can't change language of app or navigation voice. UI really clunky. Would've been 3 stars, BUT: Uses dark patterns to pressure new users into paying "limited offer, once you click no it's gone forever" etc. To me, these are shady business practices I will never support. Edit: Suggesting changing the system language to change the app language is hilarious. Also, placing a tiny x in the top right corner to decline and a giant colorful button on the bottom to subscribe is textbook dark pattern 💀

I really wanted to like this app and possibly in places outside the US it works well. The app does some things well, but overall it was a letdown. When I'm choosing the twisty roads option it still routes onto the freeway. If I deviate, quite a few times it just doesn't update the route. I'd have to pull over, completely restart the app and redo my route to get it again. App keeps mixing up km/miles on the display and in audio. Routes just weren't that great, especially knowing better ones.

funny thing, i didn't start the trial when asked as i wanted to see what the basic app had to offer, but then when i wanted to see what the premium was the trial was no longer there and i would have to pay to even know if its worth it, i never experienced that in an app... and im not going to pay for something i don't even know if i want, so lost potential customer? the basic plan is not good enough (you do know that your app information says you do have ads) bug->circular track->when wrong turn

Tried to compare this app with others, but just get ad after ad to buy, and limited functionality until I do. Found other Apps give full functionality for a limited time and will go with one of them instead.

mixed feelings , UI is a bit strange and also on winding route we ended up on an unpaved road. Should be option to check unpaved if that's an option. with R motorcycles on unpaved road 17km was a nightmare

working reasonably well at the moment but you do have to check routes using Google maps to look at some b roads. Even on sport tour I've found a few goat tracks. an issue with all these phone sat nav apps is you can be on a roundabout and the directions come through too late. Love the desktop planning and able to share gpx files. reverse route is also very useful. Sometimes it would be nice to have a simple home button as after a good ride I don't always want the scenic route home .

Just tried taking a long ride for the first time in a few weeks because my bike was getting fixed, and somehow this app became unusable. Constantly talking about route calculation when I KNOW I was on the right track, completely failed to track my ride, my GPS was Constantly not on the road. Sadly had to go home early because I had to rely on this app. Very dissapointed this was my favourite app
