Excellent App!!

I love this app! Easy to use/user friendly, great features like crash notifications to next of kin/emergency contacts, notifies friends when you are out riding so they can track your live progress and position (if it is turned on), and automatically pauses the ride when you’re sitting at a light or stop somewhere, so it is only tracking actual ride time and statistics. Lets you save routes and rides, and gives you a ton of information about your speed, elevation, acceleration, etc. Great concept for an app and would definitely recommend!

It’s great when it works, but it’s buggy and frustrating

I’ve used this app with great success around the house on shorter trips. I finally took a longer trip to the mountains and this app let me down every time I used it. On the way up it closed after a rest stop and I didn’t notice and got way off course. I’ll put this on the phone for closing the app but my phone has never closed it like this before. The next day I had a great round trip planned and after less than 10 minutes it added unreachable waypoints that caused the navigation to run in circles. This effectively ruined the planned route since you can’t bypass waypoints. I never got more than 15 minutes or so without it doing this and since I had no idea where I was I’d have to stop and try again. I started picking destinations without waypoints and it seemed to help but it would put me on roads no street oriented bike should ever go on, creating some stressful and unpleasant situations. I’ve lost all faith in this app’s ability to get me where I want to go and have canceled my premium subscription since the extra features aren’t worth the money. On the way home I used Google maps which worked flawlessly even in areas where Detecht had problems.

Hi Joe, thanks for the feedback! The problem with the app adding new waypoints during your planed round-trip seems like a bugg we haven't been able to find and reproduce. The app shouldn't add new waypoints even do you make a re-route. Could you please reach out to us at support@detecht.se with some more information about this problem so that we can try to identify it and solve it. The problem you had with the routing putting you on gravel roads is probably based on that those roads miss information about surface type in the OSM-database used for route-calculations, sorry for this but it's the same for every app using OSM-data, thats why google maps could have been better on these particular roads. If you send us the information about this roads we can send a update suggestions or you can do it yourself on the osm website. Best regards and enjoy the roads // The Detecht Team

Too buggy to use

I am currently on a cross country trip from Oregon to Florida on my motorcycle and I could use this app for maybe half a state. It does good route planning for curvy roads with the subscription, but that’s about it. While riding it was constantly bugging and trying to have me turn at every street only to make a circle and get back on the same route. I had to re input the destination as many as 5 times to get it to stop doing that and then a little while of working correctly it would go back to the same issue. The crash detection is a cool feature but my Apple Watch has that so it’s not a necessity. As far as I can tell there isn’t a way to add a quick stop so you can hit a near by gas station on the way which would be helpful. Also, a good feature would be to input the mileage per tank you get on your bike for those without a meter that can warn you when you are getting close to empty. Has the potential to be a good app but not quite there.

Hi Jblaze, thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, it really helps us to improve. We’re glad you enjoyed the curvy route planning, and we’re sorry to hear about the navigation bugs you experienced during your trip. Our team is actively working on improving stability and route guidance to prevent those kinds of issues. Usually it can happens if you drive near an upcoming waypoint but the app doesn't check it off and wants to take you back to it. In these cases you have a button on the left side of the screen to manually skip the next waypoint which would solve the issue.If you’d like to share more details about the navigation issues, please reach out to us at support@detecht.se so we can look into it directly.

App good for Route Tracking and Speed; Crash Alarm seems to auto close app.

Adam D Gonzalez
I’ve been using this app for a few days now, so this review is subject to change over time. So far I really like the app during my daily commute, it keeps track of my travel time and average speed. It also does a good job of keeping track of the speed limit of the road that I’m on (it would be nice if there were a setting to keep the speed limit pop up, even when not on a route)One big issue I’ve come across so far is that the crash detection test appears to automatically close the app at random times. I tried it 5 times and only once did it send the test text to my emergency contacts. I had to tap the send button 5 times, so I fear it might not work in the event of a real emergency where I am unable to tap the button.

Developer Response
Hi Adam, thanks for your feedback. We are soon realising a new version with better handling of speed limits in both tracking and navigation. Furthermore we had a small issue with the crash detection simulation a while back which is solved, this never affected the real crash detection. All the best // The Detecht Team
