This app is crap. I’ve used it twice with my kids in hopes of a good safe trail. The first time it took us to some random place on the side of a street. Literally zero paths anywhere. The second time the parking for the trailhead was on a private county club where we couldn’t access and street parking was NOT an option. So we parked way further down and it literally took us to a dead end instead of a park like we had thought. Had we detoured to the road, which was literally the only other option besides turning around (which is what we did) it would have been along a dangerous road. Ruined our bike ride. Will never use this app again.

This app seems really good at first glance. When you start making routes it seems to get fishy. When you actually know the routes it’s obvious. I am not sure how the algorithm choose what roads you can use to plan a route, but, it’s horrible. For example, foothill expressway in my area is a main thoroughfare for bicycles, this app WILL NOT let you route along it when planning a trip. Instead it takes you through all the neighborhoods. It does the same thing in SF and avoids roads with bike lanes for some reason. Also has weird glitches like the volume can only be accessed in the first 0.5 seconds of starting a navigation.

Today, I had ridden the longest ride I’ve done yet and was quite proud of it. After the ride was finished, like normal, the app told me how fast I had ridden, how far, etc. I glanced at these stats and then got off my bike and went about my day. A couple of hours later, I open the app again to see that this ride disappeared! I keep refreshing the app and my profile, but somehow the ride wasn’t recorded even though I pushed record and saw the stats after. What the heck happened? Disappointed and if this isn’t fixed, I will be using a different bike app from now on.
