Said I had account I never did
Couldn’t even log in. Every email put said I already had an account but never once sent me an email for password reset. Waste of time
Almost decent
I gave it one star for making you PAY FOR SATELLITE VIEW
Love the app but is not as intuitive as I would like
The app is great and it’s awesome being dedicated to bicyclists, but navigating it isn’t particularly intuitive. When I turn my friends onto it, I usually have to tell them the caveats.
Disappointed
Three trips out and prior to each trip I am logged in to app. Get out ready to ride and the app wants to verify Premium Status. Ok, so go ahead. I paid $50 for the app. Nope! Tells me there is an error and to try again. I have emailed support, deleted app, and tried again. Also tried on line and my subscription is not recognized. Cancelled any further transactions as I have not been able to use it.
Great
Great
Mediocre
I am confused. I don’t understand how it got such a good rating! First, I found the interface confusing. Had to quit several times to get back to the home window to try to figure out how to navigate back to other areas. Then while at home, I downloaded some nearby routes try on my bike. I went out and found out that they were not downloaded. Additionally, at home before the ride, I indicated several favorites. Then when I went out, I could not find my favorites area. Finally, when I rode down to the beginning of the route and tried to navigate, the app could not receive my route. I thought it was GPS I was on top of a hill, which should’ve gotten excellent reception. I was able to see a blue dot indicating my location on a map, and could use it to negotiate the route. Otherwise, the program was pretty useless. I’m sorry I wasted my money.
Misdirection
I was on a 5 mile straight run and the instructions kept telling me to go on side streets WHY ?
Impressive planning tool
The more I use this, the more I'm impressed with it. I have an electric trike and the ability for this app to plan road routes that avoid high-traffic roads is amazing. The fact that when you select that you are using an e-bike, it considers hills less of an obstacle and gives you quieter routes is really great. Also, the optional map view layers are great for enhancing visibility on your phone in sunlight. Most other maps don't provide as much contrast and readability. Well done. I'm a convinced subscriber.
Must be AI reviews saying it’s good
Do not use this app. Just use All Trails or google maps. Also, even if you pay the premium you still get ads. This is a very bad app that you will regret buying. It is literally a GPS. If you have google maps, you basically have bike maps.
Wish I could get my money back and this is a free trial period!
App took me to a gravel path on my road bike then onto a busy road with absolutely no shoulder and construction work at the end wherein I had to self navigate to quieter side roads. The BIKE APP IS FOR SAFE BIKING- road or not. Almost got crushed by trucks on double yellows single lane roads. Nightmare.
Hard to use Premium. Not trustworthy
Routes are unreliable. Take a paper map with you.
Unmatched greed
Everything is locked behind a paywall
Free version isn't much
Seems like a nice app but I was disappointed to learn that navigation is only available with premium
Won’t use again
Paid for the 3 year membership, now I won’t use it anymore. Google is far superior with the exception that it doesn’t record my ride.
Potential, but left wanting
This app is probably better in areas where many users participate or in countries where bike infrastructure isn’t just occasional car lane gutters.
OCM paywalled
They lock the use of open cycle maps within this app behind the paywall. Open cycle maps is literally free and can be found with a quick google. They dont have as many navigation features however the bike path markings and legend are going to be much more community based than this tech bro’s moneygrab app. Support eachother for free use ocm. Stop charging for stuff that should be free. Down with the tech bros. Update: i meant to say OCM (open cycle map) not osm in a couple places
Happy
Easy to plan a route. I’m happy!!
Very good
I have not been using this AP very long but so far I am impressed. It finds the best way by bike depending on settings. You can use just bike paths or a balance of bike paths and roads. It’s has taken me to a dead end a couple of times but that happens with all GPS APs so you need to use some common sense as well as the AP. Sometimes it diverts you off a main road and then puts you right back on the main road for a few feet which is a bit silly but then use some common sense look at the map and go the best way. Overall I am very happy with this AP and it’s better than Google maps for cycling.
Profile all wrong
I was going out of town and decided to try this on a free trial in a new place in the country. Had the route all decided and checked it against Google maps biking. The profile of the course with Google was spot on, Bikemaps said it was basically flat. When I rode it tturns out Google gave a very accurate profile, lots of climbing. Not sure why Bikemaps got it so very wrong, but I dropped it immediately.
Don’t want this app
My subscription isn’t even valid due to I don’t want it and they still charge me. Pisses me off. Go away bikemap
Love this App
Makes my ride so easy and love sharing my ride with my significant other so she knows I am safe!
Impossible to deal with
Can’t manipulate customer information. No way to cancel membership. No way to change automatic membership charges.
Can't test without buying
1. User can't test basic functionality without a subscription. If you set a route, app pops up with two options for tracking the route, both locked features. No amount of swiping or clicking lets you keep the route without subscribing. 2. Now my app watch is stuck on "Ride was too short to save". Clicking ok does nothing. Deleting.
After updating
Now if doesn’t work! It has dropped two or three of my rides! About ready to dump it
App is Great
Love this app
Awesome Ride!
I was alerted that my subscription was about to renew, but I had some doubts about renewing. I was unsure about continuing with the subscription as I had experienced some confused routes and directions in the past. The map planning seemed off. But something has changed! I had been off the road for a good number of months until my bike was finally fixed last week. Not sure if it was the recent update but I used Bikemap last Friday and the route it planned for me for a 4+ hour round trip was awesome. It was a huge improvement. I enjoyed the route it chose for me so much I’m renewing my subscription, it’s worth it just for that experience alone!
Cannot scroll, cannot use.
Will not allow me past the introductory questions because the “next” button is below/outside my screen and you cannot scroll down to use it. Not optimized for this iPhone, I guess.
Do you folks ride?
After doing a local, out and back, to get acquainted with bike maps, I discovered it’s fondness for it to send me down dirt roads. After discovering that you can turn off gravel roads in the settings, I thought rides would be limited to paved roads, as 700 series tires aren’t great on anything much more than tar. For 2 days straight in Maine, it has sent me down dirt roads that would be considered fire break trails, and if you do try and walk the original estimate of 5 miles, it will tell you to continue 15 more, then 10 more after that. Bike maps has a habit of giving you one estimate of a ride from your kitchen table, the mileage may be within 10 % of actual, but elevation will be off by 50%.
Hey guess what? Another subscription!
If you are looking for anything remotely useful for free, don't download this app. You have to PAY FOR NAVIGATION. I just want some help navigating my area while on vacation for a week, I don't need all these bells and whistles. Just get me from A to B, please.
Too little usability for too much money
I want to like this app’s service and have no qualms with paying for a service (nobody should work for free) but the functionality of the app leaves a lot to be desired. It’s just too buggy or simply bad at its job.
A bit confusing
I’ve paid for this app. No legend. There is no explanation on color coded lines. Had to google to find a legend. Colors on legend not matching what is on the app. A few roads that I was sent on was not bicycle friendly. No way to connect to Garmin units.
Not great
Tried it out specifically for the Euro 06 route in Hungary and let us to a well established ferry crossing the Danube, but that the locals say the ferry was canceled long ago. The alternative route forced us to ride miles and miles on a heavily trafficked main route. Seems line a big “miss” for an app that proposes to provide cyclists with maps.
Might as well make it a paid app
You have to pay even to use the most basic functions. Can’t navigate without premium so pretty useless.
Low quality app, charges you double
I was given a discount on renewal of $29.99 but the developer went ahead and charged me $49.99 and is now refusing any refund. Please be wary of this dishonest seller. The app is ok but it is way overpriced for the functionality. The timing is inaccurate and the app could use an overhaul.
RC
Easy ride except for the strong winds
Forced To Pay
You literally need to buy premium to start a route lol garbage
Great service and app
The app is great. Had an issue with my Apple Watch working with the app. The service has been outstanding. Even though I have an issue, the company is working through it. Communication was outstanding.
Everything is locked behind Paywall
Are you serious that we have to subscribe to use dark mode?
Dependable Mapping
Easy to use. The routes are always well designed.
No
I’ve had this on my iPad for a long time. I’m long distance cycle tourist. But for some reason I neglected using it. Well today I’m in Vietnam for six months and decided to give this go. It is useless. It is so slow it’s unusable.there are so many wrongs about this. I can’t count, but I can delete it which I just did.
Premium is a rip off
Purchased the premium subscription which doesn’t expire until next June but Bikemap doesn’t recognize the subscription.
Does not put you on bike paths. Useless without internet.
I bought this to pre-plan bike trips in detail with my computer, upload it to the phone and then run it with no wifi or cell service while traveling by bike through Europe. It was a disaster! No matter the settings, half of the time it would route you away from official bike paths. If you decide to stay on the official bike path instead of using the recommended highway route, it will not re-route you. Instead it will stop routing and pick up your original track later (sometimes hours later). Until that happens you have no idea where to go and how much longer your trip is. Using this app completely offline did not only nor help, it often made the routing a lot worse and ruined several days of a very nice bike trip (Austria, Switzerland and Italy). Imagine for an hour you think that you only have 20 kilometers left till you are there, and after an hour of cycling you find out it’s still another 17km. It’s super aggravating! This app might be neat when used while having an active internet connection. Do not use it offline; it’s awful!!
Awful - it's a trap!!
This app is terrible, and if you forget to delete it you'll be faced with a new $60 recurring charge and they are quite rude if you ask to cancel and get a refund. They want to keep you ensnared. They hide behind apple and say they can't refund. THE APP: the UX is very bad. There is no map search, only by city. The rides are dearthy and random, lacking the main rides in my city, for instance. The UX of riding along with the ride is really bad: you cannot join along the way, if it thinks you did not start at the precise beginning, it will refuse to align you and keep barking at you to go back to the beginning. You can't reverse direction if you want to start at the other end. You can't even zoom out and try to follow your blue dot on the app. It looks like its VERY MUCH still in beta. The developers are cranky and unhelpful... this app is WAY overpriced. And its not easy to add rides. There is no developer oversight of the routes, ratings or anything. Honestly, very frustrated. The will not refund you if you are unhappy with it, even if you only used it for a few days.
$$$$
Every min a pop-up to buy. Going back to garmin.
This app gives up too easily
If the starting and ending points of your planned route are close to each other, it won’t navigate: as soon as you start navigating, it says “you’ve arrived,” and stops navigation. If you deviate from your planned route (e.g. because of a detour) and then rejoin, at the next waypoint it says “you’ve arrived,” and stops navigation. If you turn off your screen to save battery, when you turn it back on it sometimes won’t update the display to your current position. One thing that would be helpful is if the Lock Screen could display a minimap of the current location. I came to a point where it told me to take a right turn, but there were two trails leading off to the right. I had to stop, take off my sunglasses, unlock the phone, find my current position on the map, and see which trail I was supposed to take. A minimap showing the current intersection and which route to take would be really helpful in that situation. Update: went on another ride. The app randomly loses all sense of location and direction, so it places me somewhere I am not, and tells me to “continue onto” the trail I am already on. The only way to deal with that is to stop navigation and restart. I have 6 saved “routes” for a 19 mile ride. This was easily the worst $50 I’ve spent on the App Store.
Not there yet.
Well, I got the premier version paid for that and tried this out. It is just not ready yet in my opinion. The one thing that is needed is being able to connect to Garmin radar units. Like a lot of the other apps do and this doesn’t so I’ll quit using it even though I paid for it until maybe sometime they have it. there’s things I like about it and it’ll work for most people but the way I see it if you look through the reviews and the reaction of the developer is to say they’re sorry to hear that and could they give them information on where it happened and what it happened all that kind of stuff which to me is nothing more than a beta test so it’s just not ready yet. Also, it’s difficult to get it to point the map in the direction you’re going and you have to move there a little computer window out of the way to change it and it’s hard to do while you’re riding. Sometimes it just doesn’t work at all as far as moving on the map the way you wanted to move. They have recently fixed a bunch of bugs which was helpful but I’ll put it away for may be a few more months maybe next spring see how it works.
App crashes
Looking up locations this app crashes. Not paying for non working apps.
Oddly…
Love the app but oddly when I type Tra in the search bar, the app freezes.
I wanted to like it, but this app needs a lot of development to perform as advertised.
I really wanted to like this, and used it for a long bike ride this past weekend in Southern California. I thought the app had great design, and it was an easy signup process. However, there are a few key areas that I’d love the development team to focus on: Turn by turn directions — The Apple Watch app was pretty useless. Instead of telling me when the next left turn was going to be, it told me my current speed and heart rate. While that was ok, every few blocks I had to stop my ride, pull out my phone, and check the app to see which direction to turn. The phone app also shouts at you the turn by turn directions, but when I was traveling at high speeds, I couldn’t hear it at all, rendering that feature pretty useless. Battery Drain — After the first hour of my 2-hour bike route, my iPhone 13 phone battery had drained from 100% to 18% while using Bikemap. Didn’t track any data — Because of the significant battery drain during the first half of my ride, I had to end it on Bikemap and use my memory for how to get back to the start of the route. When I got back to the car, I wanted to check my stats for the first half, and Bikemap didn’t save anything. I expected Strava quality and got something much more elementary. Again, I really wanted to like this, and hopefully your development team can take my experience and make improvements.
