Bikemap: Bicycle Tracker & GPS Examine App

Simple Rapide Intuitif Ça à lessentiel Très bien

Dommage que celle ci ne sois pas en français car je ne comprend pas langlais

Bonne appli pour l étendue des cartes et des choix de parcours En revanche trouver un parcours n est pas si aise et si on veut regarder le parcours de quelqu un , en le selectionnant on perd ses filtres de choix A perfectionner mais plutôt sympa

La recherche de cartes pourrait être améliorée mais ça reste génial !

Super App für neue Routen!!! Daumen hoch....

Le logiciel de BikeMap demande certains ajustements car il y a parfois des hésitations, la page quitte inopinément à loccasion. Notez également quil ny a pas de bouton pour retrancher un parcours personnel.

Easy to plan a route. I’m happy!!

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.

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.

My subscription isn’t even valid due to I don’t want it and they still charge me. Pisses me off. Go away bikemap

Makes my ride so easy and love sharing my ride with my significant other so she knows I am safe!

Can’t manipulate customer information. No way to cancel membership. No way to change automatic membership charges.

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.

Now if doesn’t work! It has dropped two or three of my rides! About ready to dump it

Love this app

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!

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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You have to pay even to use the most basic functions. Can’t navigate without premium so pretty useless.

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.

Easy ride except for the strong winds

You literally need to buy premium to start a route lol garbage

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.

Are you serious that we have to subscribe to use dark mode?

Easy to use. The routes are always well designed.

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.

Purchased the premium subscription which doesn’t expire until next June but Bikemap doesn’t recognize the subscription.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Looking up locations this app crashes. Not paying for non working apps.

Love the app but oddly when I type Tra in the search bar, the app freezes.

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.

WARNING! This app will log your route from your home and back. Is what they don’t tell you is that the route will be uploaded for people to see, including your exact home address. What kind of app does that? It didn’t ask me but my bike route with my home address is online for anyone to see. Stay away from this one.

Excellent mapping plus stats

Im not sure if I took a wrong turn by mistake but the app worked great directing me on my ride to work but in the way home, I just threw in my ear bud and started listening to each turn it said, at one point going through a windy neighborhood i noticed i was passing a st i already turned onto and i open the map to see that i’ve ridden all around the neighborhood when there was a much more direct route cutting right through it (mind you not a busy road that would make sense to avoid). and the route it was suggesting me to go to get back to my way home was basically to turn around and cycle back around the circle i had already ridden instead of just making a turn onto the correct route. very frustrated as this neighborhood has lots of hills and is not the funnest neighborhood to just cruise around. I don’t understand why these apps are so bad with their intended purpose of giving the safest and most efficient route for a bike. only giving two stars because the layout and tracking is nice but the directions are sub-par by far.

I tried this app and I love it!! It is very easy and simple to use and so affective. I highly suggest you use this app if you bike.

All it needs is a way to default my recorded routes to private. Please add this!

Needs to be able to follow established bike routes more strictly. Naviki does so but lacks the detailed map information that Bikemap has. Naviki winning slightly while biking in Denmark

If you want to use this GPS AS A GPS with turn by turn directions. a feature that comes standard with EVERY GPS. You need to pay a subscription. Otherwise it’s just a static map. I have adhd, I can’t be distracted having to look at a map every so often in order to know where I’m going. Especially not when I’m on the road in la where cars are driving around me at 3 times my speed. Ridiculous that they try to charge you for the basic minimum job that any gps is supposed to do.

LITERALLY the best cycling directions out there. I’ve tested out both Apple Maps and this app by comparing the routes they’ve each chosen and this app always chooses the best routes with quality infrastructure. I’ll never go back. I’d recommend going to their website and purchasing the subscription directly from them. Also, their support is prompt and top notch (shoutout Martín). THANK YOU!

I paid up for premium so I could find and make routes when I rent bikes on vacation. Two huge problems: 1) when trying to plot a route the app is constantly trying to take you on side routes and it takes a LOOONG time to get the route u want and unless you go over it really zoomed in you’ll miss a few detours you weren’t intending, 2) once you’re riding even with a carefully edited route, you keep being told to leave it, even when you’re supposed to be riding on the same road for five miles. The only solution I found was to memorize as much of the route as I could so I could guess when to ignore the navigation instructions. Super stressful!!!! Too bad because the app looks so promising and has such good reviews.

I pass the street then it tells me to turn onto it.

This app has the best and easiest bike navigating I’ve seen so far in like 6 different apps. However, I abhor monthly fees for simple apps. And if I’m forced to pay monthly, I at least want to be able to share access with my iCloud family, so my wife and I can both have navigation on our phones so it doesn’t matter who takes the lead.

I am beach cruiser rider. I wanted an App that was free and just gave basic info like distance and time. This fits it 100% and very easy to use

I love this app

I don’t need to be asked every single time if I want to upgrade. Sometimes this makes my ride unsafe as I’m already on the move and have to cancel out. Once is enough!

Switched to this after the previous app I was using kept glitching out and crashing out of nowhere. So far I like it better and would recommend it. There are some minor things that kind of also really annoy me though: 1. After reaching one’s destination you have to confirm that you want to upload the track and go to some (imho) unnecessary prompts. Like why can’t this be done automatically or have a setting for that to optionally happen without confirmation? Last thing I want when I’m tired after a long cycling session is to click through some stuff every. single. time. (and I do want for the tracks to count). 2. App is pretty much useless unless you buy a subscription, there is no way around that. I can understand that app development isn’t cheap and that they’d require premium for more niche features like offline maps etc., but when you’re the most popular bike navigation app in the App Store and not even the most basic navigation works without buying a subscription, I do have to feel like it’s a bit of an unnecessary cash grab. 3. I can’t tell whether it’s just my device, but I often get the voice navigation prompts quite a bit before I’m supposed to make a turn. If you’re riding around densely populated urban areas and are navigating “blindly” (i.e. with your phone in your pocket/bag), that can veeery easily lead you the wrong way, which you don’t know till it’s too late. So a handlebar mount is ABSOLUTELY essential for visual validation of your route. Other than these things (which admittedly are subjective to my use case and device), it’s an excellent app choice and I do like the vastness of features.

The routes go from ridiculous to ridiculousor. Many of them show straight lines across zero roads or Spirograph scribbles that aren’t even close to actual pavement. WTAF
