Required a subscriotion for the most things and very expensive. Could not disable data collection without an account. Not EU data compliant in any way. Very buggy. Changed units to metric yet nothing was in metric. Explore routes just didnt work? or default colours terrible. Not sure why anyone would bother installing.
nothing is free
the app is terrible on club side you cant edit events , use desktop website , dont bother installing on phonre
While I believe app is good you cannot save, navigate or do anything other than see route on free plan. There is free trial but pushing this hard for upgrade is just not acceptable.
please fix the upload of pictures
app is battery hog and sometime tries to upload all my pictures again :(
I couldn't load the ACTC Tierra Bella ride today!!!!
I'm supposed to be using this with a tour. everything from the tour is in their language. when I highlight and select translate it takes me to a Google page and asks me translate. so I need data. which I won't have when I'm biking in a different country that speaks a different language. there is wifi where we are overnight but when we are out and about I'm navigating in so foreign language? that's absurd. there needs to be various languages available in the app. now I am so nervous about this.
STILL no dark mode after at least a yr
over 2000 tracking attempts on this app in the last hour. unbelievable.. greedy people selling our info not happy with purchasing
stupid app glitches and stops recording the bike route in mid ride.
Mobile app is embarrassingly terrible for route exploring and planning.
Can't even navigate a route without paying. Whats the point of the free version?
Did a free trial that stated it would send a reminder before I was charged. I received no reminder and cancelled the day I was supposed to be charged, before the transaction went through. I was still charged for an annual membership which I do not want as I did not like the trial of the app. I reached out to customer service and received no response. Very disappointing customer service.
was looking for free apps this aint it 60$ a year
it tried to charge me at the start of the "trial"which is total BS!
Hi, I would like a fall refund no longer want to participate, meeting locations too far & too many issues with leader, I never been on any rides & not going too. He's lied to me from the beginning, free to join near Train station & so on. All lies He cancelled a couple of rides too. I cancelled Subscription, can I get a refund. The leader kicked me out of the group, so I have no groups, so I definitely would like a refund I have to UNINSTALL, price per year $92.99, others $15-$20.
Junk. Too many hoops to jump through just to save a route. I hate it.
thinks my home is Milton Keynes. no easy way to set home. Basic stuff. why can't I just go into settings and enter my home address. uninstalled as too flipping difficult to even start!
It's good for planning routes, not navigation. just trusting the app, It took us on state highways with no shoulder, hills with grades too steep for cars, and roads that have clearly been closed for a decade. even if I planned the entire route, and was on my route, if I tried to get it to take me to my next waypoint it would try to route me OFF my bike trail and up very steep hills and onto main roads to save me 0.1 miles over 40+miles. For a cyclist you would want the easiest safest miles.
It doesn't show optimal roads (for ex roads with very narrow space on pedestrian pavement and where bikes can't go through the alleys - so it's slower and annoying than going through local streets), you can't rotate maps using fingers and you're getting blasted with paywall. I feel like it's nerfed google maps
Recently liking it less and less. Route planning is buggy. Won't let me plan a route along certain trails that we have ridden on before so I know they are accessible to bikes. Would consider renewing just for the tracking aspect IF there was a monthly option. Can't ride in the winter where I live, so really don't want to pay for the whole year.
