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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
Impossible to deal with
Can’t manipulate customer information. No way to cancel membership. No way to change automatic membership charges.
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.
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.
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.
Forced To Pay
You literally need to buy premium to start a route lol garbage
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.
App crashes
Looking up locations this app crashes. Not paying for non working apps.
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.
