Bicycle Route Navigator for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not intuitive hard to useThere doesn’t seem to be any intro guide or tips to get you started. And there’s no intuitive way to search for a place and get a good bicycle route there. Not sure what the point of this app is, other than compiling park loop maps. I can get those from parks..Lda28Version: 2.05

✓ Bugging meJust got the app and exploring it. Not even on for two minutes and this wouldn’t let me go without putting in a rating..Nick MelnickVersion: 3.01

✓ Difficulty locating local routesSeems to only offer standard catalogue of long routes and not thousands of routes local routes triggered by location setting. Disappointing if that is the case because that’s what a traveling cyclist is seeking epic local rides without stopping at local bike shop to inquire.Finds local routes?Version: 2.05

✓ Map zoom and alternate routesWhen using the navigation the zoom level is too tight. Unlike other navigation maps one cannot zoom out. That is, while one is moving. If stationary i can zoom out but as soon as I move the zoom snaps to an almost useless level. The map does not offer alternate routes to a point that may be off route. Requiring back and forth with other navigation apps. The display of the map is far too pale. Non route connecting roads are practically impossible to see when navigating. It would be useful to see them as a guide back to the route in cases where a make detour of a few streets. Mote information could be added to the info panels. Perhaps gathered from recent users. I would have loved to see up to date info for campgrounds and towns. Like a rating of campsites or details of amenities. Options for stores within local range..David A RogersVersion: 3.01

✓ Cannot get the app to workTrying to create a route and the app will not let me select any points of location..Collin98Version: 2.20

✓ Gpx filesGood app. Wish my gpx files would go on it.Steve LaChappelleVersion: 3.4

✓ How to set metric units ?Very nice, easy to use. Could not find where to change to metric (distance and height). Miles do not mean anything to me. Your paper map shows some metric units why not this app ? If not, I will rather use my GPS..Normand01Version: 2.02

✓ IrritatingOne star because every 30 seconds the app it asks for a review. Well here you go. One star..RQFunkVersion: 3.01

✓ Not what I expectedI guess this could be used in addition to the adventure cycling maps but that’d be redundant in my opinion. This is not a substitute for cue cards. Waste of $6 for map section.QwhsjxifVersion: 2.05

✓ Needs to be fleshed outI agree with others that this app needs to incorporate Google’s biking layer to fully understand the route and the nearby options. Turn by turn directions are also a must. Finally, I live near a former campground in Northern Michigan that was sold and now a developer is putting up a BnB, but there was no way that I could see to pass this information along to ACA or to fellow travelers. A note-taking function might also be helpful for me incorporate trail knowledge learned along the way. On the plus side, I like being able see the route, the elevation, and points of interest..Dfree617Version: 2.02

✓ Lacking IntuitivenessI’m trying to navigate this map frequently want to check the legend to figure out what some of the symbols mean. But the legend isn’t that easy to find and in trying to locate it I end up moving the map or changing some function. Shouldn’t the legend be a button right ON the map so you can flip to it with one step?.DaferdooVersion: 3.3

✓ Not helpfulThe reason I got this app, along with buying the digital maps, was with the assumption they would reflect current conditions. I’m going to ride the Pacific Coast, but the app offers no assistance in detours around the mud slide areas south of Big Sur on PCH. Also, can’t figure out the points of interest. Just get the paper maps. The app doesn’t help..Dog123456Version: 2.0

✓ Barely usableApp could be sooo much better. It’s barely useful. Buggy. I have to use another gps app with it for actual use cycling. Biggest complaint: app won’t auto- rotate to let you know which fork in the path you should take while riding. Have to stop. Orient the map. Then proceed..Clash City Rockers/2:59Version: 2.25

✓ StopApp keeps asking for feedback.Rjinodyson1Version: 2.25

✓ How annoying!In four minutes testing this app, I got six pop ups to rate this software. It would seem to show they don’t have a clue in their approach towards their customers. It may be decent or even very good software - but I’m not sticking with this to find out. I’ll try it in six months, one more time..Me-PavVersion: 3.01

✓ No accompanying mapI bought the Arkansas High Country North route for $10. It’s just a purple background with no route or mapping information. Nowhere to ask for help or clarification. Wasted money and time..Mark McGrawVersion: 2.23

✓ Annoyed!I’ve had this app downloaded for about 15 minutes- I’m still trying to figure out how to use it. But the box “please rate this app” has popped up about 10 time already. I have no basis yet to rate this app. But basically I’m just annoyed. Can you PLEASE let me use it for a little while so I can figure out if I like it?.Annoyed_DaveVersion: 2.05

✓ Dumb route plannerWhy do I have to route from Calgary to Missoula USA or whatever IT’s called to bike 12 km to a local shop? Makes no sense..Nerds_from_SpaceVersion: 3.4

✓ Not intuitiveThe app is not very intuitive. Difficult..111214todayVersion: 3.4

✓ How many times do I need to buy the same map?I bought most segments of Rte66 in the other Rte 66 App from Adventure Cycle. What is different about this app?.NotamoviegoerVersion: 2.01

✓ Lack of any real content. Waste of money.Purchased a map for the Utah Cliffs Route within this app and was given a purple line. There’s no effective route description. No road names, altitude change, previous known road conditions... $6 for a purple line. I’m going to have to match this line to something I can create on gmaps, spend a few hours, and may not even ride the correct route. Thanks for nothing..Mr_MeseeksVersion: 2.05

✓ Not sureI had bought a few sets of paper maps so I don’t want to pay again. Based on the little sample map I am unimpressed. I may be missing something because I was just playing for a bit.Bxa01Version: 2.01

✓ Bad app, great data.The data is the only reason you might want to get this app, and then you’d quickly realize that the data is the only useful thing. The app itself is extremely basic, to the point where you will definitely need another tool, and then you might as well have just bought the gpx files from the website. You can’t change map tiles. Google’s street maps and that’s it. You can’t customize the route at all or export it for use in another app. You can’t add your own data. One nice feature I guess is the elevation profile viewer, but that’s not worth buying this app for alone, and there’s no real reason otherwise to buy it over just the data. Additionally, and why I’m here, the app begged me several times in the first few minutes of using it (I hadn’t even found the map catalog yet) for an App Store review. Knock that garbage off. TL;DR just buy the data and use literally any other mapping tool you might want to use. It’s the same price..JeremykitchenVersion: 2.05
