komoot - hike, bike & run 4+

your ux designer should be hanged

the app is generally very good. while the stairs start when we are cycling, e.g. in the rain at night in forest and try to hold the phone in our left hand. each touch of the screen with the thumb adds a point on the map, with the bottom of the hand we also add it, trying to hit the tiny triangle on the opposite side to align the map, with the iPhone pro it is almost impossible. driving in winter gloves that work on the screen, aligning the route is also impossible because we add a point on the map more often than we align the route, wouldn't it be easier if the field around the buttons was excluded from adding points on the map? maybe it is worth adding a button that blocks adding additional points on the map? greetings - globetrotter

positives now that you have read the feedback😁
-> route planning is gre
-> information about the type of road is great
-> driving parameters checking statistics also extra
-> fun with driving off-road is not comparable to any other app ...

…one small thing if the app was only GPS, it could be run on the phone without a sim card and this gives you the opportunity to have phones on a bicycle as bicycle computer ;)

I love this app if you correct the above-mentioned things, I will be taken to heaven :)

Developer Response ,

Thanks für this detailed feedback! I will forward it internally to our developers for future improvements!

Planning drives me crazy but my husband loves it

My husband loves the app and advised me to use it as well. I started my planning a tour but I had to surrender. No idea why the app was is trying to convince me that it knew better how to do the trip: I was adding points one after another but suddenly Komoot decided that my point number 5 should be rather point number one and changed the entire trip without asking if the last inserted point should be next one or maybe the entire trip could be changed. I didn’t have any more patience to redo the trip.
In the meantime Komoot team was kind enough to respond to my original opinion and explained how to address my issue . The point is the route planning for me is user unfriendly and I am discouraged from using the tool. My originally one star I’ve changed to my husband’s and mine average. Hopefully at one point it will be user friendly enough for me to use it. Take care, Komoot team!

By default, komoot integrates your waypoints intelligently into the Tour, with as little distance as possible in between and regardless of the order in which you set them.

If you want your waypoints to appear "in click order" at the end of your Tour, you can do this in the app and on our website. Select your starting point and the first stop on your tour as the current end point of the Tour. Then click on the map to set the next waypoint. Select "At the end of the Tour" to set the next waypoint at the end of the tour.

On the website you can also use this shortcut: Hold down the option key (on a Mac) or the alt key (on a Windows computer) and click on a point of the map where you want the next waypoint to appear. This way you can set waypoints one after the other so they will always appear at the end of the Tour.

Planning with waypoints is also explained in more detail here: Placing waypoints at the end of the Tour

Super cool but...

I use Komoot as a navigation and trip planner. App is great and stable. Sliding info on navigation screen is great - you can easily swipe for different info about your ride eg. Current speed, road profile, time lefts and etc.
Sometimes when planning new trip Komoot choose roads with quite heavy traffic instead of calm roads around.
I would give 5 stars but there is missing one feature/option I have seen in other similar app - turning off screen when there are no navigation tips in the near future. That could help significantly with battery life during trip.
