5/5Very Good Bike app
RWG is the best bike app I’ve tried. I’m not looking for a workout app, just an app to record my bike rides, and this one is the best for me. I like that it displays the map and pertinent stats all at once on the screen. I can see my trail, plus speed, distance, duration, averages, etc without changing screens. I’ve tried several apps lately and none other will do that. I even biked with 4 apps open and recording at the same time so I could switch between them while riding, and later compare final results, and RWG easily won out. A review wouldn’t be complete without listing a couple of negatives: You can’t see the map until you press “Go Ride”, and it seems that it is not locking in on the gps until that is done, so occasionally it will write a phony start location onto my trail. That can be removed later, but only with the paid version. I think this problem could be eliminated if you could view the map before pressing the start button. That way you could watch the gps dot until it settles down, the press Go Ride. One other feature would be very nice: Add an option to mask your start-stop location like Strava does. I want to hide my home location, but can’t do it with RWG. I hope you guys read this and consider it.

3/5Great for navigation, lacking for metrics
Ride With GPS is pretty great, though is biased more towards mapping and navigation more than metrics and fitness. The route planning and voice-guided navigation is really impressive. While it’s wonderful to be able to connect to my Garmin Varia (which Cyclemeter cannot do), many of the settings menus are only accessible during a ride and not easy to find. It would be nice to have a selection of screens to choose from, as the majority of the screen is dedicated to the map, making few, small font metrics visible on screen. The Apple Watch heart rate connection worked easily. I was able to connect it to my Duotrap (Trek speed and cadence sensor) without an issue, but it seems unnecessarily difficult to get recorded workouts pushed into Apple Health or Strava. For instance, I swore I had enabled to switch for Apple Health, but when I finished my ride the workout did not get pushed. Unfortunately, there’s no way to retroactively get completed workouts sent to Apple Health. And the Strava connection does not occur on the device, only by connecting your RWGPS account to your Strava account online. Incredible potential, needs just a few tweaks. I’m not sure I’m ready to commit to an annual subscription just yet, but I could definitely see subscribing on an as-needed basis for a week/month at a time. The guided navigation was so helpful during a 100 mile ride on a route we’d never taken before.

5/5Love the app, wish there was better segment/social networking support
I am so grateful for the RideWithGPS app. I’ve ridden over 7,000 miles with its assistance over the last 2 years. Routing is fairly seemless, though there is some serious memory hogging through the website platform in Safari and Chrome on Mac(save regularly!). I am recently disappointed by load failures in the segment portion of both mobile and browser platforms. Segment data often does not load, mobile notifications and emails open empty pages in app and browser, and it is difficult to find or create new segments. In a huge cycling community like NYC, it would be great to have better social integration in this regard. PLEASE don’t become Strava or anything so Facebookish, but the segment section is the one area that UI improvement could help connect cyclists riding similar routes, for fun and safety (buddy system for the win!). Thank you again for such a great app🙏 Final feedback is more for Garmin - make Edge 1030 Plus more seemless with RWGPS; without an internet connection, it is difficult to share routes created in the app and routing through the garmin connect app pales in comparison to RWGPS on mobile🤌

5/5Best cycling app I have found
I have been using ridewithgps since 2015 and it has become my favorite cycling app and website. It allows me to plan safe routes for my rides in advance and then use my smart phone to navigate the route on my bike. It logs my ride, shows me stats, gives me audible turn by turn directions, shows me the elevation profile and much more. I used the free version for years and it met all of my needs. Last year I upgraded to paid version so that my wife (and friends) can track my rides in real time so that she knows I’m safe, which is well worth the money for me. Photos taken while logging a ride can be embedded into the route, which is a nice feature. I recently had a problem with the app where it wouldn’t go into navigation mode. I was frustrated as it was the only time in over four years the app didn’t work flawlessly. I emailed tech support and they immediately responded. One of the company founders called me on a Saturday morning and helped get it working for me. They then updated the app to fix the bug. Because of their excellent customer service and the unique features of the app I rate them five stars without hesitation.

5/5Finally found what I was looking for.
I’ve been using Ride With GPS for three years now, and it’s the app I spent several years looking for by trying all sorts of other bike navigation and tracking apps and moving onto a different app every year. So I did my own survey on several social media apps and the hands down winner was Ride With GPS from bike touring riders all over earth. I used the free version of Ride With GPS the first year for 5-6 months or so and went to the full on top of the line subscription version because the free version was awesome, but I needed all the paid version tools and since the free version was great I figured the full suite would not disappoint and it hasn’t. If I were going to knit pick anything about the app it would be that I use Avast Secure Browser, but Ride With GPS doesn’t fully work on the Avast browser so Ride With GPS Support told me to try Mozilla Firefox on my PC, and everything worked great. So when doing 99% of all my bike tour and ride planning. It’s so much easier to build routes on the PC use the Ride With GPS webpage via Firefox than on my iPhone.

1/5
Possibly the worst road bike route planner ever. It makes Google Maps look like sheer perfection. Doesn't track, give wrong directions, IS ALWAYS 500m behind where you actually are. If riding unfamiliar roads I would go as far as to say this app is dangerous - based on the fact it tried to direct me onto the M1 motorway between Brisbane and GC!!! Please don't waste your time, $$$a or ride on this app. Beyond useless.

5/5
If you gravel or adventure rides, you need Ride with GPS. With a subscription you can create a route, copy a route and modify, add pictures, get voice turn by turn navigation (even when using a downloaded offline route). Even if you have a bike computer (Garmin, Wahoo, Coros, etc) Paid subscription just enhances your route experience. if you use a head mount computer, rides auto Synce to Ride with GPS or simply "Pin" a route in Ride with GPS & it will sync to your bike heat mount. It just works.
