This was a great, basic app for a long time but it's become extremely glitchy in 2024. Like at least one other recent review says, it consistently fails to track GPS or record anything other than time. This is with every possible power and background setting available switched to let the app work. I will start a ride, it will look normal when I put my phone in my pocket, then when I stop there's nothing other than time. I can use my phone's own timer if that's how it's going to be.

If I could rate it zero, I would. I gave it the benefit of the doubt, thinking that maybe it stopped recording mileage thinking that I was in Canada (due to poor network coverage by the Detroit River)... nope. It randomly shuts off and stops tracking whenever it feels like. Yes, I have changed all the settings to allow it to run in the background to no avail. This app is garbage. It tells me how long I've been riding, but none of stats it's supposed to record. Un-installed.

Great app. Very user-friendly. It keeps stats simple and easy to find. Easy to customize. I would like to see it ping the gps signal more frequently. As it is, it cuts out 90-degree turns, which affects distance accuracy. IMO, this is as good if not better than the paid apps. If you want a very good, easy to use app to track your ride and stats, you can't beat this one.

This app is wonderful...minus one horrid detail, the ads. Now I hear you, free apps need ads to make money, that's all fine, agreeable and a good compromise to a free ap. However, when the 'X' marks to move past an app are so microscopic your basically forced to shut the app down it goes from a 5 star app to a 1 star for me. If given the option I would purchase the app for use without ads, but as far as I've seen so far thats not an option either.

Keeps it simple, would not be looking for an app but for the clunky , unintuitive nature of the two I have,and, the stupid updates that stop them from working like they used to,this app would 1) get 5 stars if I could buy an ad free version but the ads are only on screen, not audio and 2) it . . . Is . . . Exactly what I need for my purposes

This free app is great. The ads are almost non existent and don't interfere at all with your ride. It shows your miles, speed, calorie loss estimate and your map in real time. And it saves the info. I don't need anything complicated and this tells me all I need to know simple and direct. I just need to know my miles and time and this app provides that nicely. I use a Galaxy S8 by the way but I think that's irrelevant and the app uses minimal data.

Used it for a few weeks now. Works great. Easy to use. Gives me the info I need and you can share for bragging rights. One big issue. Every time I do a long ride and pause it at a stopping point I'll loose the first half of my ride. This happens when I pause the app, open my camera to take a pic. Close my camera pop this app back up and it starts fresh like nothing ever happened. Sucks. A couple times I have remembered to just stop and save which works, but not for stats. It just kills the stats

Love the live gps that helps explore new areas and routes. I can literally see where l have been and where l am going while l am riding. The history function is great for tracking my fitness progress and retracing a fun new path. Great app. l love it. Update: app tracked the 1500 miles l rode last year. It saved the routes, speed, and elevations. Looking forward to using it more this year. Wish l could give it 10 stars

Nice and simple ! The distance, speed, time, and map are all good. Not believing the elevation part because I live in an utterly flat area and it's making it sound hilly. Also if I start and end at the same exact spot then there should be zero net change in elevation. Makes me question how accurate the rest is, but I know the mileage is right as I checked it with my car.

This app saved me from needing to buy an odometer, and provides far more statistics than I know what to do with. So far, it's accuracy also seems to be on point which is nice since I didn't have to pay to use it. However, it would be far better if these three cons wren't present: 1. It's a battery hog and my phone is rarely at a full charge when I ride my bike. 2. It doesn't seem to support use in landscape mode. 3. The app crashes sometimes and reset current ride data except for travel time.
