8 of 25This app does so much more than a cycling computer and so easily. All the data is at your fingertips. You can email the ride data to your computer for easy viewing. It shows your route on the map. The designers have thought of everythings. Comparied to the price and limitations of a bike computer, this app is an incredible bargain.
Used to really like this app when I first got it but every year it gets worse. At first it posted a map of my route and all relevant stats from the ride. Last year it only posted the map. Now this year on my first ride it only posted an ad for itself. I'll be looking for a new app.
I have tracked every ride since 2011 with b.icycle and that's now more than 27,500 miles. The app is easy to use, the maps look great, it is reliable (I gave up on other apps before this after the GPS connections proved unreliable) and when they added the Apple Watch app it was even better. As long as the app stays updated for the iPhone and Apple Watch I intend to use this for the next 27k+ miles. Highly recommend.
One of the most expensive mountain bike apps, but good value nonetheless, because it's the only one I could find with solid Apple Health app and Apple Watch integration — and it does everything advertised very well.<br/><br/>The biggest negative is that it is visually very unattractive, compared to Runtastic’s MTB app, or Strava, and the general graphic design does not use the screen real estate optimally.<br/><br/>Number one item on wish list: presenting all the tracks and rides in month groups, with month totals. A lot of cyclist have monthly distance targets ...
Precision accuracy for gps function; however, it's a battery drainer. Suggestion - have the app automatically turn off location service when it is not being used.
I've been using this app for about 3 years now. First it sucked all the juice out of the battery hitting the GPS in my 3GS. That was fixed. Then they kept playing with the sharing mechanism. Now I've upload it onto a new iPhone 5S and guess what more glitches! Now, it no longer allows me to "stop" the timer as it did on the 3GS so that I can share out the performance. Instead when I hit the "sure?" button it just returns to stop and sits idle in "Paused" mode with the current track! Plus? It still gets hung up after sharing a track. When you try to restart the timer the clock sits frozen UNTIL you reboot the phone. Then it starts up fine. This has always been the case as long as I've owned the app. Its glitchy sorry. PLUS there seems to be no good way to report a problem!!!
This app had been a disappointing purchase. As others have pointed out many functions do not work or cause the app to crash. Furthermore, I have left my phone outside without it locking for 20 minutes and the app continues to say waiting for GPS. Going to have to find a different app, I guess.
As others have noted, this app no longer works with recent IOS releases. Totally useless now since it won't acquire GPS.
