Good program

I don’t buy many programs but decided to purchase an in app bike tour of panama. Works well but I was disappointed there was no sound and after reading the reviews I am disappointed that people previously paid £5.99 for the extra content and I paid £7.99, I will probably not buy more content. Apart from that the technology works well unfortunately it does not look like much work is being done with it apart from os update software maintenance.

Good App but expensive

I love the scenes. The interface is smooth and the photography excellent. Really does break up the boredom of the treadmill. I have treated myself to 3 at a price of £5.99 each. Although each one can be set for up to 55 mins the actual unique footage is not that long, it just repeats.

Groundhog day

What an excellent idea! But then you realise that you'll have to pay £5.49 every time you want a change of (admittedly stunning) scenery. I bought northern Italy and loved cycling through Venice, along the Cinque Terrestrial and up into the alps. Then I did the 40 minute workout and found myself revisiting the same old ground. In that one workout I went past the same super yacht moored up in Venice four times. Surely the longer workouts should take you further afield rather than in four 10 minute loops. I am not looking forward to the one hour workout if it is going to make me dizzy!
I tried going faster to get away from the same chap by the boat but it seems rather one paced when used on my exercise cycle - stop -slow-go.
To summarise:
i) expensive to get the extra places to exercise (over £35 for the set seems very steep)
ii) to have paid £5.49 and then to get repetitive scenery on the longer workouts is annoying
iii) very clever motion detection but not a really noticeable difference on the bike I use

Unfortunately, this experience makes me less likely to buy the other areas and it may soon become yet another forgotten app - which would be a great shame for such a good idea.
