Love to Ride app 4+

There are some things I like with this app, that my other apps don’t do. But I already have a gps, and t runs great, so I wish the neat toys didn’t rely on me using the auto log. The neat toys are the personal heat map, and the ability to draw out which roads are friendly and which are not. Unfortunately, I can upload my data straight from my gps, but only with the auto log. I don’t like the auto log, because I already use my gps and Strava to load to the fantastic web site. So all the auto logged rides are duplicates. I would like to mark friendly and unfriendly roads in my area without having to use auto log. In fact I think I already know some roads I would like to mark red, without having to go out and ride them again. I can’t even rate my rides that are more than five miles long!!! That is lousy, since that’s every ride for me. My commute is triple that each way. I love the web site and have been using it for many years, so I hope the app also develops into something useful positive, and useful. But we have a way to go.

A lot of trips randomly drop from history. The manual feature could allow you to mark on the map, because the "start a ride" sometimes misses entirely and I still want to review the routes. The app quickly loses its use if I have to go on Google maps just to fill it out. Even the route it managed to capture wouldn't let me review even though it's less than 5 miles.

It's a nice idea

This app does not accurately record distance and you can’t edit your rides to correct it. It also does not connect to the Apple Watch. So, I’ll be using Map My Ride to record my bike rides since it’s way more accurate and connects to this app. The app takes you to their website for most things which is annoying…you should be able to do everything in the app. The app and the website are not user friendly and it seems impossible to contact anyone even though they have a section for that. I’m only using this app for a month long work event, and I would never recommend it to anyone.
