Good routes but not perfect for every situation
08/11/2021

**achay**
The app is good at developing routes for different types of bikes and different goals but when it comes to actually using it for navigation it does lack a little. If you have somewhere you can mount your phone to view what it wants you to do it’s pretty easy to follow but if your planning on putting it into your pocket and using the voice navigation it will definitely be difficult. The intervals at which it gave directions where inconsistent such as sometimes it would give lots of warning before a turn and sometimes it would not tell you to turn until you were pretty much cat the turn. Sometimes it also just didn’t give a direction and so I found at a few points I was having to take out my phone and look and see what it wanted me to do. I’m not sure if it was just the app I was using to listen to music but I also found when the cycling app would give a direction the music would not get quieter as it does with most car navigation apps. I like that you can save routes though and that it will route you based on your bike. One problem I had with other apps bike feature was you could not select a road surface to ride on so often time I would get put onto gravel paths with this I can choose only for paved paths and it will still be able to find quite roads and even paved bike paths. I have not yet used the public routes app but it is there I’m not sure if it’s just my area that does not have many people posting public routes but I imagine in city and high population areas that could be useful for finding places to ride. I only am using the free version and it has enough features. Maybe someday I will upgrade to the paid version but first I would want for the voice navigation to become better. Overall for a free app it’s pretty good.

Hi Achay, thanks a lot for your review. We are very happy that you enjoy cycling with Bikemap. We are aware of the navigation not being as good as it could be and our development team are working hard on figuring out a solution. As of yet I can't give a timescale for an improvement but I assure you it is in progress. Other than that, thanks for your detailed and kind feedback, we appreciate it and it really helps us improve the app further. Best regards from Vienna & happy cycling! 💙

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.

This app gives up too easily

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.

Pretty good app with some (minor) flaws
04/02/2023

Juno-Anna
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.

Hi there, thanks for your feedback! We are sorry you are unhappy that some features require the Premium version. This is necessary so that we can keep building Bikemap sustainably. As we decided to make Bikemap ad-free for our users, this means high development costs involved in continued product development, which is why we cannot offer all functions for free. We hope you understand that. Regarding your other concerns, we will forward them to our product team for them to consider your feedback for future improvements of our app. However, feel free to send us detailed feedback to support@bikemap.net so we can find a solution for you. Best regards from Vienna & happy cycling! 💙🚲
