iBiker Cycling Heart Trainer Reviews

iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer worked well during the free trial period, but stopped working after that. I paid for the Pro version for the HR, Cadence and other device pairings. iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer detects all of my devices but quits using them after 10 minutes because it thinks I’m using the free version. All attempts to fix this with a restore purchases and reinstall of iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer . Have not fixed the problem.

A couple of months ago the updated version of iBiker started crashing every time I launch it. I restart the iPhone and have removed and reinstalled iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer but it still crashes when I launch it each time.

There have been at least 2 more updates but those versions of iBiker do the same — crashing every time I start iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer . So, I give up. It was a great app and I used it all the time. But, if it won’t run, there is no point in keeping it on my phone. It’s time to delete iBiker app, permanently.

Good bye iBiker. I liked you when you worked and am sad that you no longer launch without crashing.

Ibiker recently did an update. After the with a free trial of 10 minutes of use for my sensors. After 10 minutes all sensors lost connection. I had previously paid for the upgraded version that allowed the sensors to connect for the entire ride. Even though time remains on my yearly purchase, iBiker simply wiped the remaining time out and kept the payment. So the new version will rip you off, keep your money, and want an additional payment. Poor business practices. DO NOT UPDATE. You will have to pay again if you want your sensors to work. Be forewarned!

iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer looked good and promised a lot.
You only get 10 minutes to try it out however, and with the ability to only connect one sensor (cadence). Can't really assess very well in 10 minutes with limited access and capability whether I want to invest in this product. That was a turn off for me and I will take my business elsewhere.
You've got to give a little to get a lot. I recommend that you rethink your business model.
Good luck.

For as popular as biking is, there is a dearth of functional biking apps. Some are so complicated as to make them nearly useless. Others are so limited that it is difficult to find anything useful in them. IBiker is among the best.

iBiker comes as close as any biking apps I've used that allows me to customize its functions to provide data important to me . My needs are pretty fundamental. I want to know my heart rate, how far I've gone, how long I've been riding and a map showing my route.

Some functions are a little overly complicated. For instance, the connection between my Apple Watch and iPhone seems to get confused when starting a ride. Pressing "Start" on the watch results in an error on the iPhone saying the sensor couldn't be connected. Conversely, starting a ride with my iPhone causes my Watch to go into pause mode. Monkeying around with both devices will eventually get them synced and working properly.

The iPhone display is bright and read easily. Customization is easy and gives numerous options. The added bonus is that there are a plethora of other excise types from which to choose. I'm off to the gym to try a few of them out using iBiker!

(I would love to beta test iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer to help quash some of its bugs and to recommend improvements in the UI.)

Since the most recent update it won’t sync to my Apple health and it deletes my workout from iBiker after I view it. I’m not sure if it’s trying to force me to upgrade or if iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer just isn’t working. Very frustrating. I tried running it at the same time as the Under Armour app tonight on my ride and was very disappointed with the Under Armour one. I’m holding out hope that iBiker will somehow get fixed so I can continue using it as I’ve been loving it for years.

I like this better than the fitness app on the Apple Watch since I can edit the workout to include the distance and fix the calories burned. My only issue is the timer. It gets behind compared to the one on my exercise bike. It’s about a minute off by 30 minutes into it. I’d like to be able to add my average speed too. Otherwise it’s great.

I love iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer . It works great. The only thing I don’t like is that the data doesn’t translate over to Strava like they say it does. I hope that fix is coming in an update soon.

I have been using ibiker for 4 years now, and there is nothing better out there that captures what I am looking for and allows me to set my dash board the WAY I WANT TO!! (Simple while Riding, just the feedback I want, then analysis later, after the ride)

I wanted to give a shout out to technical support, especially Chris! I use my iPhone mostly and always for ibiker. I recently lost that phone with 4 years of rides/routes/data on it, and the email account to recover my login is no longer active! (Couldn't remember the password anyway....)

I reached out to the ibiker guys with a different email, through iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer that I re-downloaded, and they got right back to me!
I provided some background of the name of my account and the location of the last known rides, and Chris was able to find my account, reset the password for me and get it back to me! All of the sudden, I have all of my custom pages again that I like to use, and more importantly, my Riding history!! (I go different places for work, and like to find new routes, and once I have that, I can go back through my history and find the route when I visit there again)

Chris,
Thanks again for the rapid response, you guys are the best!!
Ken

I liked the old voice better

I had an issue with the upgrade going through and tech support fixed it right away. I works well with wahoo cadence sensors

My husband and I try to take a walk every evening. I Biker helps us know our distance, time and calories burned! We appreciate having that knowledge! Thanks.

iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer is amazing. It syncs to my spin bike and gives me all the data! It saves my data in an app and online and gives me awesome charts. It connects with my Apple Watch - all so easy. I love iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer.

I use iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer for indoor cycling. I liked having the distance calculation. Now it’s gone with the latest update. No reason, no explanation that this would happen just gone. I hate that.

I’ve been using iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer for several years and really like it. Give me lots of stats such as mileage, elevation, speed, and a map of my ride. It also keeps a log of all my rides. Great app.

I’ve trained thousands of miles using iBiker with good heart monitors. Not only has the data it collects enabled me to strategize my biking performance improvement, it tipped me off one day I’d suddenly gone into A-fib. That day my beginning heart rate was 176 instead of a typical 87.

As a senior citizen I purchased a lifetime subscription. Now they changed the rules and want to charge me for using my watch. The obvious reason? Profit margins are flagging so they search for more profits. It usually means iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer will disappear in the near future. Shame on you Ibiker for bilking the elderly!!!

I have had iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer for many years. It’s one of only a few of my many many apps that has been with me for over 10 years. I love a recent update whereby it pauses if I stop my activity.
It keeps me motivated.

You can no longer log activities unless u pay to upgrade. GPS no longer tracks hikes unless u upgrade. So frustrating. I’ve loved iBikerCyclingHeartTrainer for a few years now. Even have all of my friends using it. I refuse to upgrade. I’ll be looking for a new app to use.

I wish this would interface with my fit bit and go 365 apps
