Reviews for Riser: Motorcycle GPS & Social

Great app. Everything you need is right at your fingertips. It’s just a pity you can’t use it with Android Auto.

I truly recommend the pro version. I am in no way sponsored or affiliated in any way with Riser, although that would be cool. As long as you remember to record the trip, this app gives you anything you can imagine in regards to data. The trip planner is hands down better than any other […]

The ONLY reason I give this 2 stars is because it maps your ride and it does provide round trip routes. That’s it. I’ve been sent down dirt and private roads, through apartment complex parking lots, down some random road 300′ just so I can turn around at a waypoint, and so many other similar […]

I just switched from Rever to Riser, and so far, so good. It would be nice to be able to select roads somehow. Sometimes, the app does not select the best curvie roads. But otherwise, nice app. Update, I figured out that if you tap-hold a specific point on the map, it will allow you […]

Needs an option to avoid dirt roads. Only option I see is “motorway,” so it’s clearly a European app. It really struggles to reroute if you try to skip a dirt road. When you pass a turn, it doesn’t even recognize that you’re traveling the opposite way as the map is telling you. It doesn’t […]

For tracking & logging your ride, it seems to be fine…but the navigation still leaves a lot to be desired even after this recent update. I let it plan a round trip ride & it turned into a dumpster fire. At one point it had me turn off the main road only to tell me […]

Off late, I realized that the app is not working properly, or at times, it just isn’t working at all. This issue started after the last update. I am using it on a Samsung S24 Ultra without any restrictions on background battery optimization. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but all in vain. What could […]

The ride tracking is pretty good, although I don’t think it records speed as often as position for some reason. The routing is just bad though. Curvy and SuperCurvy often just route you off of the main road into neighborhoods which, while probably technically curvier, are much more boring and just elongate the ride. Or […]

RISER is almost a great app; almost, but not quite. RISER’s pack feature is a great idea, and makes it almost the ideal app for motorcycle groups. A user can create a group and allow others to join who are within a half kilometer from the user. All the users who join the group can […]

Horrible gps tracking and the routes dont make sense. “Your location” icon is lagged so it’s easy to miss turns and the route doesn’t recalculate to get back on track. In an effort to add “curves” the route tries to take you on private access roads, driveways, dirt roads and fire cuts! Glad I tried […]

Not impressed The app gives me a list of people I may know. From Germany, Austria, Italy, and Slovenia. Um, I’m in the U.S. I can’t reach out to people who may be in my area… It uses a lot battery. Top user in my running app list. So far, other than using this is […]

Honestly it’s pretty useless. If I could program in routes for a ride and share that with my friends so everyone could follow the route that would be great. But it doesn’t work that way. So it basically can tell you where you at currently and if you try to use a predetermined route it […]

Great start, a little fine tuning needed. I have two complaints; 1) when I set my destinations and then drill down to try to see what roads it has me taking, the blue line hides the road names. 2) It’d be nice if it gave options that you could select from like G maps. If […]

This app definitely needs some work. First off it chews through a phone battery unless you phone is set to conserve power. It would be very useful to have an ability to raise the volume of the directions. While playing music the instructions were faint. If you go by a turn, the app does nothing […]

It can’t follow a simple pre-planned route. The route is correct on the website from my laptop. When I save it and bring it up on my phone in the app it is still correct. When I try to ride it, Riser tries to take different roads immediately. It’s just as bad as Rever if […]

Appears to have a good foundation but when searching for groups, I can’t find any for my state, and there’s only 1 veteran group on the entire app. Most of the users are non American. It also requires premium to allow family to track you, and with the lack of actual users, I will be […]

Seems ok, what comes up on my phone screen is not what shows as supposed to be there in the pro version. For example, there is no current weather link, there is nothing that says Adventure Navigation, it just opens up to a map, it doesn’t show my arrows to rearrange way points when planning, […]

Unintuitive and confusing. Tried this app in the black hills, even gave premium a try. Did fine to let me plan routes offline for use, but navigating this app is a wandering mess of trial and error. The nav really struggled when I didn’t exactly hit a waypoint. We stopped for gas and I switched […]

For a free app, the options available are awesome. I used GO Ride before they discontinued their app, and this has nearly every feature that app had. I would love to see an “Avoid Unpaved Roads” option. I will definitely be using this for years to come, and would even pay for more features if […]

Confusing map. I like to pin the orientation but you can’t do that while navigating. Can’t save locations like home and work. When I end a route it still tracks what I am doing and I have to stop that before I can start a new one. Routes worked well and it runs great. Just […]
