bbybike - The Bicycle App Reviews

The routing in Berlin is nice and lets you avoid cobblestones as much as possible. Three major downsides: the UI is confusing and hard to use (I never know which button to press to get what I want), in realtime nav mode you can't zoom out to get an overview of your route, and (a big one): bbybike doesn't reroute when you've gone off course.

Overall worth your time because of the superior routing in Berlin, but it would be really nice to fix these UI issues.

I tried to use bbybike multiple times, even purchased the full app, and on my trips to and from Charlottenburg to Mitte and every time I had to stop using it and use google maps instead.

Please fix location pinpointing: bbybike never accurately pinpointed my location.

I was constantly told “you are lost” in the most annoying droid lady voice imaginable.

bbybike would not reroute me when I was off track, which would be a good feature.

It’s a nice idea but didn’t work for me.

I think bbybike is great and very simple to use. Getting biking directions and ETA, which is more than enough! Thank you for making bbybike! If I may suggest, please make the Apple Watch version too so it would be easier to look at the watch for directions instead of the phone :) Thank you again!! Keep it up!!

With the redesign of bbybike, it has become so buggy that it is unusable. I used to use bbybike all the time to plan my trips through the city and now I can't even enter an address without bbybike freezing up, let alone get into the preferences menu.
I thought maybe the bugs would be ironed out after the first update after the redesign, but bbybike is unfortunately still the same - useless!!
What a shame!!
I'd be happy to give it a 5-star rating if it became useable again.

It is a good app to discover roads that will be more cycle friendly.
Some time the search of destination takes some time to find.
Needs to enter a right search format.
Might not always be conducive

Beware! Listed as free from Google Maps App. $3.99 required for any functionality. Sadly, I paid but could not navigate past security questions in setup. It didn't like my entries. Tried various attempts before getting an iTunes warning stating my account was about to be locked. Quit. Can't use App. Lost 4 bucks. Lame!

I love that I can avoid certain streets due to how busy they are, or the pavement quality. Must have for urban cyclists. :)

Best app so far. Much better routes then google maps app. I really like the design as well
Great job :)

Looks good and works well. Great potential.

The router does not factor in 'the wiggle' route that connects golden gate park and downtown with a nearly flat route. Every cyclist I talked to about commuting mentioned the wiggle as essential, and it is also explicitly called out on the SF bike routes map.

I thought bbybike would be great when traveling to areas I'm not familiar. The concept is great however, with my first searches, the maps for the areas I'm traveling in are not supported- Even in metropolitan areas!

You get in bbybike and just when you're ready to go for a ride, because you didn't do research beforehand, you press start route AND you have to upgrade and pay to be able to use this. DONT DOWNLOAD ITS A WASTE OF TIME AND A SCAM.

even though I put that green ways are highly preferred, bbybike bypassed the most notable bicycle trail in The boots and spider hat made it work! I would wear that outfit sans the rain jacket. ;)) to route on a busy arterial. Bad data supports bbybike.

Good free app but to use route just cough up 3.99$ + taxes then u all set

Sure it says free but once you go to use bbybike it asks you to pay the 3.99 ridiculous.

bbybike has no functionality unless you buy the $3.99 "pro" version.

Useless

my favourite app to use in Berlin! It’s so useful to find a nice route in Berlin, to avoid traffic lights and find hidden streets. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work ♥️
