✓ App Need’s work/bugs/fixingsHello I’ve had this app since December 2019 or so I have updated my app mini mini times. Anytime I go in to friend request or open the profile tab my app just closes on me and automatically. It’s I don’t believe it’s my phone I turn my phone off anon I’ve updated the app multiple multiple times and it seems like it’s the same issue over and over a lot of the features on this app or not working for me. And I didn’t notice that The software that it works with is software 12 for the iPhone but Apple has a software 13 point something that is out and available for use. I have a 12 point something software on my phone so that could be the capability issues and maybe that’s why the app needs to be updated please advise I love the app I want to use it but none of the features work for me I am looking into getting a new app. I like all the features on the app I would read it five star if the app worked for me all the way around but I can’t at this time..Version: 4.0.8
✓ Terrible AppAs a navigation tool, this app is hopelessly broken. It might be slightly better on right hand drive areas, but on left hand drive countries it’s bad and unusable. First, the instructions are way too verbose. For instance, when approaching a roundabout it is sufficient to say “take 3rd exit” or even “3rd exit”. There is definitely no need to go all verbose with “Enter the roundabout and then take the 3rd exit”. The verbosity makes it very difficult (and potentially dangerous) to make out what I’m supposed to do. Less is more. Secondly, there is no traffic alerts that I could find. At least in the UK. Thirdly, the icons on the left of the instructions are just downright wrong. They are pointing in the wrong directions, and if you encounter a roundabout the icon is nigh dangerous as it instructs you to go round anti-clockwise. On left hand drive countries, we go clockwise round a roundabout. Also the income indicating where the exits are are wrong. For example, 3rd exit is typically on the right but the icons keep showing left. I suspect most users are only using it to rack up miles for the sweepstakes. They don’t actually use the tool for navigating..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Ready for prime time?I'm not sure what to think about this app yet. I've used it a couple times now, and it has wonky logic to me. First, when I laid out a route... Point A, B, C, etc... It built the entire route backwards! The whole time, I had to make up my own interpretation of what to do, since it had me going backwards up exit ramps, etc. Secondly, I'm not sure if this is a setting I haven't figured out, but it cuts corners something terrible. It cuts through fields, entire developments, etc, instead of mapping to the intersection. I have no clue why this would be considered a good thing. Thirdly, it doesn't remap the route when I'm forced to change the course because I was unable to follow the incorrect guidance. Fourthly, it doesn't give any heads up about the next turn, which is ESSENTIAL when leading a group of motorcycles. ILacking these fundamentals, while charging $25/yr for the lack of guidance to ensure a safe ride for all, ales me wonder if this app, as promising as it is, is really ready for prime time. On my second ride, I had to revert back to Waze, and keep adding stops, to complete our ride. Waze is free..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Total useless app!Signed up for a free weeks promotion, forgot to cancel, ended up having to pay for a full year. while it was cheap it was a complete waste of money! Using Google Maps is so much better in every way!!!.Version: 6.2.5
✓ Good app but some bugs!Works well but it keeps asking me to save my vehicle to save a ride with jo prompt!!!!.Version: 3.5.26
✓ Rever: Annoying, forced notifications!I installed Rever to test it (along with a few similar trip-planning apps). My intent is to pay for the one that works best for me. I'm now getting 1+ push notifications PER DAY from the Rever app telling me about all the things I should do with it to bring joy to my life. Oddly—or not, really—these usually lead me to an admonition to sign up for a paid subscription, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THE PUSH MESSAGES without completely silencing the app! What the heck are their management and Dev teams thinking? An annoyed customer isn't going to be a good customer. Forcing those messages down my throat will not make me any more likely to buy or subscribe to something (AND they are a violation of Apple's iOS app-approval guidelines). I honestly don't understand this mentality. It sure as heck ain't a good way to get money from me, though..Version: 7.0.5
✓ Given upBeen using the App for a few months. Initially pleased with it but not now. Every update makes the App worse. If I pause during a ride the app changes from route direction to true north. Have to finish the ride in the app and start again. My location arrow doesn’t stay in the centre. It positions itself top left or top right of the screen under the new ride banner. Not sure what purpose having a new ride banner at the top when I’m riding a route. Very frustrating..Version: 6.0.2
✓ Not goodRide builder always crashes. Disconnects from pro features. Turn by turn is terrible..Version: 7.0.4
✓ ReverI used the app and I find it useless. It’s ok if you go from point A to point but you cannot add a third waypoint. The gps was way off. It sent me the wrong way. I finally shut it off and now I’m going to delete it..Version: 3.5.26
✓ My rides are all gone todayIf you like tracking your rides then having them all gone one day then you’ll love this app..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Overall- it’s OKWhen you combine the website interface with the app- it’s pretty good overall. It’s easy to plot out a route on the website. Saving your work makes it accessible on the app. From there you can share it with REVER friends. But the app itself is where the overall package is falling short. It seems disorganized and very messy- like they are trying to pack way too much into it. The navigation is nonsensical and certain functions just don’t work- or they are so over complicated that users give up and assume they don’t work. A specific example is trying to plan a route in the app itself. Even a single waypoint route to a local destination is just … dumb. A good design would have me long press on the map where I want to go then show me my options. Highways , twistier, tolls, whatever. This simple task does not appear possible from within the app. Or - it’s so over complicated that few people are going to bother with it for more than a couple attempts. So REVER is good if you want to make plans in advance, plot them out on your laptop, then just limit the app to the actual ride. Trying to operate solely within the app itself is likely to be extremely frustrating to many people. And I do not mean computer illiterate people..Version: 7.0.4
✓ Not flexibleThe UX is poor and the navigation is not flexible. We loaded a planned route on the weekend and didn’t ride down one short road. The app spent the next hour trying to take us back there. Navigating around the app is also not intuitive. Finally be careful if you are signing up for a monthly payment subscription. It just charges you the full wack straight up. Very disappointing..Version: 3.5.16
✓ Great app BUT, expensiveI love the app, but I'm not willing to pay 60$ per year to use it. And this app is great if you have a lot of friends who use it, and I know no one who's willing to pay that....Version: 1.0
✓ These problems need to be fixed!I’ve been using this app for several years. Not until recently have I started having some annoying issues with it. The App has started quitting, not pausing but actually quitting, rides automatically. With that there is not an option to continue the ride I was doing. I have to start a whole new ride. I’ve tried contacting them directly. They have not given a solution to the problem and they are not able to merge rides for some reason. Although this seems very minuscule problem it is still rather irritating. What would be cool is if you had ability to show trips, a group of rides within a trip or set of dates. Example, say you’re out camping somewhere for a week and riding while you’re out there. It would be nice if you could add all those rides to a mini portfolio showing all your ride within that time period also showing a map of all the routes..Version: 6.0.4
✓ I want to like it...buuutI just can’t. I live in Chicago, which is the 3rd largest metropolitan area in the US behind NYC and LA, yet the ‘community’ feature is a ghost town. Moreover, I’ve been unable to find a way to start my own group in the community, so I’ve just given up. Additionally, the navigation feature is a complete joke. It’s not always practical or safe to ride on some of the most heavily traveled freeways/interstates in the country at rush hour, yet REVER offers no options whatsoever in avoiding freeways or offering alternative route options. Even if they did, I wouldn’t use the platform for navigation purposes because it feels like taking a step back in time to the early gen 1 and 2 iPhone map feature. Save yourself the headache, download Waze, and move on with life..Version: 3.5.12
✓ Barely Adequate for Offline RoutingI downloaded offline maps and routes for my weekend because I knew I would be out of cellular coverage. The Rever app was just barely useful in offline mode. I couldn't reroute when I encountered closed road segments (no cellular) and I didn't receive notifications of upcoming turns on to different roads (only "off track" warnings after-the-fact.) I was also frustrated by that the screen kept timing out during routing. I finally found the option to "enable disabling of screen timeout." This option should be enable by default, like every other navigation app. The description of this feature should be reworded to be less confusing. Finally, I logged on to the website to cancel my subscription, and I kept getting server error “temporary error and could not complete your request” messages and couldn’t get the web app to load. In the end, I just wished I'd had a Garmin, which is never something I thought I'd be thinking..Version: 7.0.2
✓ So much potentialThis app is very powerful and useful, but I don’t believe the UI designers have ever used the app for actual rides. If I’m wrong about that, then they need a new UI team. Simple tasks are hidden in odd places. It constantly resets login between uses. If you switch views from “discover” to any other view (eg, to look at a previous trip to figure something out for new route), it forgets where you were on the map when you were in “discover” and just goes back to current location. It adds some photos from the iPhone photo app, but it won’t add others for no apparent reason (there’s no error message; it just acts like you never selected a photo to begin with). These are a few of the many things that should be basic and apparent but, instead, call for frequent visits to the FAQ..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Good effort but flawedKudos for butler maps and the concept - it genuinely does help with planning interesting road trips. However, ultimately as a paid user I’m quite disappointed with my overall experience: - you can’t export your routes to a gpx file (support team told me to use their website instead…why not just add this as an app feature?) - you can’t copy/open a point on the map externally. There are so many use cases especially on a tour where I need to lookup more info about a place or navigate to it using a different app. This is so frustrating that I end up just not using Rever on my rides. Raised with their support team ages ago, nothing was done. - map layers - cell phone coverage would be useful. The pdf layering system could be implemented better. It forces you to visit their website and figure out what regions to download/upload as PDF files into the app. Why not just make these simple toggles within the app? Better still, visually highlight potential areas of interest to download, since it’s a useful discovery tool in itself. Personally I’d like to see more focus on core trip planning tools (as this is where Rever shines) rather than news feeds and social stuff. It just makes the app feel bloated and distracted from its core purpose. Fingers crossed the app improves over time..Version: 7.1.0
✓ So much potentialWhy does REVER reroute my ride onto interstates and off my planned route when I follow wave points? I planed my route I want to ride it. I did choose “avoid highways”, it still reroutes. I tried setting lots of wave pointes and it still find places to reroute. If I follow the planed line it’s easy to loose the route unless you are focused on the app, and you should not, we are riding motorcycles and we should keep an eye on the road. The app crashes. Also it always records my route. Just another layer of competition. I don’t need to always record my route. If I did gps that will take me on the fastest route I could use google or Waze. I am a frustrated paying customer. I only keep the app because it has Butler maps..Version: 3.5.26
✓ No offline maps?No offline maps? REVER, you better fix it! One star of five….Version: 5.1.0
✓ AnnoyingSo I just spent £36 f$&cking quid on buying this app only to find that when I start a plotted route a disclaimer comes up stating that I may be rerouted, in part. Low and behold I f$&cking was which took me away where I wanted to be. I bought this app on the back of a recommendation from Teapotone a motorcycle blogger in the UK found in YouTube......f$&cking annoyed. Obviously they put another disclaimer in when you buy it that you can’t get your money back......dishonest..Version: 3.5.19
✓ Only 1 star because I can’t give a lower score.Do not pay for the “pro” service on this app as none of the advertised services work! I get so much better service from other free apps, I’ll never use this app again as it is a total waste of time. Almost every ride I go on, the app stops working and I lose my tracking, not to mention everything else too. If you try to navigate with it you might get lucky, or it might stop working and leave you stranded. The whole reason I got this app was so my family could track me while riding alone…. That function might work intermittently at best if you’re lucky. Out of 10 rides, I think it worked once for me. Do yourself a favor and go with a more reliable free app. They’re out there (H-D ride planner) and they work way better than this one!.Version: 5.0.5
✓ Constantly closing whenever trying to make routeConstantly crashing/force closing.Version: 5.1.0
✓ PointlessJust gave Version 3 a go and no change this app is Absolutely of no use what so ever. Says you can plan routes you can but only if you pay. The maps are downloaded as used so data charges will be massive, ( what happens if there's no mobile service) I'll stick with the original Tom Tom App as it actually does what it says and the maps are on board not downloaded and I can plan routes without extra costs..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Pro is WAY too expensive!I really like the app but I have only really used it to track my rides not to guide me. I looked to upgrade to the pro app but it’s nearly £40 a year! That’s a ridiculous price. The only real reason I have to upgrade is for the turn by turn guidance but according to the reviews it’s rubbish anyway. Save some money and use this for recording your ride and google/apple maps for the route (just run both apps at the same time)..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Can’t do turn by turnIf I create my own route, turn by turn doesn’t work? Who came up with that idea? If not for that, I might have bought it, but now I guess I need to use something else..Version: 7.0.3
✓ Loads of potential but....Loads of potential but the app lacks functionality. They need to spend the day on a bike or on Strava to understand how this app needs to run. I'd pay for an upgraded version..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Close, but no cigarI used Rever for a couple years. I was a premium user most of that time. However, somewhere along the line, the app stopped working for me. Every time the app closed, I’d be forced to login again. This wouldn’t be too much of an issue if it didn’t happen when I turned my screen off during a break or a long stretch of road to save battery. When I did this, the app would log me out, deleting any trip data I just gained. This also ruined the use of the REVERGo thing. If my app is logged out, it wouldn’t auto track my rides. Since the app seemed to be failing me, I tried the Rlink device out, for about an hour. Since the app kept hanging or crashing while activating, I was never able to actually get a ride in with it. Luckily, customer service was quick to help me out and let me return it. After that, I cancelled my premium membership and have been looking for alternatives. Still, I try the app whenever they have an update in hopes that my issues are solved. They’re not..Version: 3.5.26
✓ Turn-by-turn Navigation is a disasterIf you start your route with turn by turn navigation and the app decides that you are pass your starting point, it will just try to make you return back to hit your starting point for now good reason instead of adjust for an optimal route to the final point. Basically any turn-by-turn routes started in a city have a loop to return back to the starting point. If you create a route with some setting, for example twisties and you leave the route and the app adjust the route, it ignores the settings and builds the fastest route. Probably the worst motorcycle app among the popular ones if you actually want to have route instructions and rebuilding the route based on your actions, not just a static map with a pre-built route..Version: 6.1.0
✓ DisappointedI specifically got the Rever app because I was taking a long road trip and needed to track my friends to see their progress to our meeting point half way along the track. I also thought it would be useful for family to track where we were on the road. Firstly, for reasons I don't understand the app did not track the first 200km of my first legs. My family and friends could not get real time info as to my progress high was the whole point of installing the app. My first day track eventually updated and displayed itself the following day. I then tried to track my friends because we planned to rendezvous. Again absolutely no real time tracking and 5 days later I still can't see their tracking. Finally, this app sent my iPhone battery completely flat in about 2 hours once I got it to finally start tracking my journey. Very disappointed that it did none of the things it is supposed to do..Version: 2.3.6
✓ Can’t Upgrade Plan. Bad Customer ServiceI tried to upgrade my plan to the annual plan but the Rever website was not taking any of my card payments. I tried on my phone browser, N app, on my laptop, using different browsers, but none of those methods worked. I contacted customer service and their response times were well over an hour. I have been speaking with them for almost 6 hours with no solution. In these six hours, the agent has responded three times. Each time only after I continue to follow up after an hour of no response. I am very disappointed as I was looking forward to using this app for my upcoming trip this weekend, but due to the lack of professional customer service, I do not think I will be using this app..Version: 7.0.4
✓ Not working for meFirst time I downloaded the app I couldn’t even open without it crashing, I reinstalled it and I can’t sign up without it saying name already taken no matter what I put in and I can’t even sign up with the Facebook log in option..Version: 4.0.6
✓ Nothing to see hereDownloaded this app to find some rides in the UK. Found absolutely nothing. No epic roads. No Best roads and no great roads. The map section is just that. A map. The challenges all seem to be in the US, Africa or New Zealand. Again, nothing for the UK. On this brief look alone I most definitely wouldn’t be paying for premium access and wouldn’t recommend anyone else do so. Maybe if some content for the UK starts to appear it may become a better app but until then I’ll be removing it from my phone..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Mountain bikes ..So I heard about this app from mountain bikers .. peddle bikes not powered .I'm new to this app but it would be nice to include mountain bikes not just powered bikes..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Non stop notificationsI had the Rever app and it’s nice to have when off road but use something else if you hate notifications. This app would give me a notification every hour whether I am on the app or not. Non stop notification pop up: It would bring up a pop up on my screen asking if I wanted to allow Bluetooth connection. I tried every combination of settings for it to stop. I even reached out to the customer service team and for two weeks we tried different things. They could not help me. Customer service: My other pet peeve was during the customer service. They had told me to uninstall and reinstall the app. Which is fine but when I did and I told them I was still having problems and because I uninstalled the app they had no idea what I was talking about and I had to restart the whole process of trying to make this work. Navigation: It worked well in off road but the pop-up would cover the map so I would have to try to fiddle with my phone while riding my motorcycle OR i’d have to keep pulling over so I could see the map. Refund: I paid for the year and only used it for two months until I was fed up. There is no way to get a refund..Version: 7.0.2
✓ I can’t log inI used the app for few months, I logged out and I never been able to log in again. I pay monthly for the app and I try to contact the Customer service and what I got was a live chat automated said pretty much we are out of office. Today is 9 days and I didn’t heard from no one but they keep getting the money out of my account. Time to cancel my subscription..Version: 3.8.4
✓ REVERApp stops working 6 hrs into ride. Please fix this..Version: 5.1.0
✓ No functionality and fake communityCheck out their Instagram and you’ll see they must’ve bought their followers. 20k people but can’t even get a 10th to interact on a post. Additionally they lock the comments to stop useful conversation about their poor quality product. Which let me review that: The app had 0 rides in the state of Texas. When I tried to use the map to move around to confirm this is froze and never came back. The search function never allowed me to type. 0/10 app, with a community that is of similar rating. Additionally whoever runs their social media has too much time on their hands. Probably doesn’t need a job only focusing on that when you should pay developers to make a working app. Their social media manager deflected their apps failures and said to “use the website”. What is the point of this app then Apple?.Version: 6.2.1
✓ Maybe I should have restarted it?Edit: so I switched from 3 starts to 1 because you have to pay premium for turn by turn directions? Lmaooooooo I’m good. For some reason it didn’t show me turn by turn directions. The top of the screen was a white block (I’m assuming inside is where the “turn left here” message goes) and the bottom of the screen just stated where I was going. Wasn’t useful at all and it didn’t help that I only had maybe 3 1/2 inches of view in the map since the top and bottom was covered in white. Not only that but when it marked that I arrived at my destination it was way off. I was 2-3 blocks off my destination. Maybe I should have pulled over and restarted my app but I shouldn’t have to do that since I constantly kill background apps I don’t use. I’m sure this is a good app when it works but I’m going to stick to google maps from now on..Version: 3.5.21
✓ Absolute garbageIf you’re an adventure rider, this app isn’t for you. It fails to show about a third of all dirt tracks, then half of the tracks it does show don’t exist. I did a 90km loop and most of the time it didn’t know where it was, so it compensated by drawing a scribbly line all over the map. It honestly looked like a 2 year old had taken to it with a red crayon. Then I got home and when I went to save the ride, it had deleted the whole thing, and as far as I can see, there is no way to recover it. Very disappointing..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Useless, unsafe, glitch filled. Uninstalled.Used this for one group ride and promptly uninstalled. No one in our group could open and follow the path of the planned route, the app would just go back to home screen when you clicked “ride it”. I, the creator was the only one with a map of the route. It gets worse, I’d tap “ride it” then “Follow route line” because I wasn’t going to pay for the app before trying it out, and we set off. 1 minute goes by and the phone screen still times out as normal so now I have to enter my 6 digit pin while doing 80mph on the highway to make sure we don’t miss our turn. Unsafe, Useless, glitch filled app. There are plenty of other free solutions you can pair with Google maps for Free, that will have turn by turn directions, for free..Version: 3.5.26
✓ Time trial sectionsWould be nice to have segment time trials like strava so you can race your mates.Version: 6.2.5
✓ App flexible / capabilityI use to enjoy REVER, but the more I update & use, the more dramas I seem to be having. Seems if I go to use other apps while REVER is suppose to be paused it actually stops my ride & doesn’t resume; issues uploading photos; just appears to be more limited where I would have thought there would be improvements each time I update…. This is a paid App/service, I have purchased!!.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Pretty Useless - Get Avenza InsteadI love the idea of this app and it could be great…. But it isn’t. When selecting single track, the only one that populated for the Sierra Nevada area was the Rubicon Trail which definitely isn’t single track. There are thousands of miles of legal single track in this region and REVER listed literally none of it. There’s also only one single track listing in both OR and WA; two states that also have tons of single track. They have staging area information, but severely lacking in trail info. Avenza PDF Maps is tried and true. For $4.99, data rich maps can be purchased and used offline for any national forest you want to ride in. Uploading GPX files for trails is a good feature but REVER advertises like it has the trail data ready for you. It doesn’t. If you’re unfamiliar with an area and use this app, you’re going to stay that way. :(.Version: 6.0.3
✓ Offers much but zero supportThe app looks good on the website so I got the PRO version but it crashed every time I tried to get Turn by Turn on CarPlay. Tried 2 phones and 2 vehicles No success. Wrote to Rever, even told them I could make it work on my phone and my bike just not with my Rever PRO account. No reply after 6 days. Goodbye Rever..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Doesn’t work without internetI’m a pro member and I lost my routes when phone went out of service range. I purchased the pro membership because I was told I could see the Back Country Discovery (BDR) routes, recommended ADV Routes and the Butler Map routes. I downloaded the area of the map I wanted to cover (took 45 minutes to download, be prepared). I then overlayed the routes we were taking for the day. We get on the road and are about 2 hours into the wilderness with no internet. The app closes for whatever reason and when I rep-open it the routes are gone. I try to reload the routes and I get an error message “Menu not available, please make sure you have a stable network connection”. So now we have no clue of what way to go at that fork we came to miles from anywhere. Luckily we had a backup, but if we didn’t we would have been screwed. So, great map but not a solution for adventure riders, or riders who want to hit trails or roads that need routes all the time..Version: 7.0.7
✓ Route did not show on Apple CarPlayNice app but did not show on my car screen via Apple CarPlay..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Rubbish! Save your money.Takes forever to plot a route then crashes before you finish to save. Starts the ride at the end point so you must plot in reverse otherwise it will constantly try to turn you round or give routes off your main route which is just confusing. Sends you the wrong way around roundabouts. They don’t reply to queries in a timely manner. Waiting try and cancel my subscription as thee is no information as to how to do this. Save yourself the frustration of using this and get another..Version: 3.5.19
✓ New update is very very slowThe old version of this app was much faster. Switching between profile, to track, to tracked rides was almost instant. Now I’m constantly waiting for a minute or 2 for the page to load. Sometimes having to refresh multiple times. Even to the point having to close out the app and try restarting it. My friends list, trying to see my tracked rides. And when I made a route for a ride I did this morning, I could not figure out how to get load that road and get the directions. NOT very user friendly unlike the old version of the app. Much much better. I’m ready to find another app that doesn’t have me wait so long just to see a tracked ride..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Good as free app, not much more for “Premium”Used it as premium for a few months. Not feeling its worth extra money. I can get most of that trough Google Maps. Planning etc. probably its most useful for off road riding (not me). Following blue line after sending directions to cellphone its just nothing but frustration. On top of everything app quit on me couple of times and I lost all tracking data for a half of the day and it happened not just once or twice. Not happy about it 🤬. Turn by turn its VERY LIMITED- keep in mind. I asked for refund for the rest of the unused period of the year (10 months left) and I was charged for half of the year. Being smart now I wouldn’t purchase the whole year ever. They should offer 7-14 days trial first like everybody else..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Unusable due to inefficient battery usageI have a brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max. I installed it because it came with a Revzilla Riders Plus sub. Normally I charge my phone and when I’m working on the home office all fay, I get down to around 87% better around midnight. Today, first day using it, I was down to 36% at 4pm. I stuck it on the charger and turned off background update for REVER. Normally, I can go from 15-20% to fully charged in 45 mins. This time, I charged it for hours and only got to 41%. Battery meter shows REVER is taking 87% battery consumption. What a useless app, regardless of the functionality. These guys have. I idea how to write an application. Pathetic. Tried it again after the new “off-road” capabilities were added. I know all the off-road riding in the next 150 miles and absolutely none of it showed up in the Rever app. There was some stuff in another state (2 small state parks) that I wasn’t aware of that showed up, so that was positive and I will check out. However, this just seems like the most useless app ever. I really wanted it to work, especially as an RPM subscriber, but it’s not working yet..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Uses too much battery!!!Too expensiveToo expensive... uses too muck battery.Version: 3.5.14
✓ Needs drop a pin optionGood app but you can’t mark special places on the maps yet..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Navigation Left me LostGreat for recording rides, just lacks good direction. Setup navigation to hit up a city in Amish country. First turn out of my subdivision instead of showing a right turn at the intersection, it cut off the corner and wanted me to cut through a yard. No biggie. However, about 30 minutes into the trip, it chamfered the corner about 1/2 mile before the dead end and right turn. I was not about to cut through the corn field, but the line never came back to the road. I drive about 3 miles, and never found the line again, nor did it try to recalculate a new route for me. I fired up another app and that was able to get me to my destination..Version: 4.2.0
✓ App OK, not as user friendlyWhile the app gave some great suggestions for routes, I couldn’t get it to do turn by turn. Said it was unavailable due to too many waypoints or something like that. I had to set my iPhone to not go to sleep and feverishly with the phone to make sure I wasn’t missing turns. It was a little frustrating as this was my first time using it and I had a buddy with me. We missed turns because the app was running slow and had to turn around several times. I haven’t tried to crest a route, but from other reviews sounds like I can’t do it on my phone. App could be more user friendly and I would gladly change my review upon improvements..Version: 3.5.8
✓ Meh.This app is pretty useless in Canada. Map routing is poor and turn by turn nav is pretty bad. The search continues for a truly useful motorcycle app that does routing, nav, and gas/maintenance history..Version: 7.0.4
✓ Full of bugs1. The Export GPX file doesn't match any application! No GARMIN OR tomtom or any free gpx view; all the roads are off. 2. If you select to create a new road when you try to edit the path, it does not show. 3. Poor support. Rider shared with me a road. By mistake, he remarks on the road as private. From my side, I could not open the link and got a white screen. I contact the support, the answer was, uninstall the app & reinstall it! 4. Auto follow failed in memory of my iPhone & closed the app 5. You choose to pay for the app, you will find different prices between devices or between computers, the price. is not unified.Version: 6.1.0
✓ IssuesMy bike was parked for six months with the rlink hooked up after I had a problem with my motor so it my bike stayed where it was till I could rebuild it and ever since I rebuilt it the app doesn’t properly record my rides it records when it wants app open or not I was so excited about this unit because before my bike had issues it was awesome but ever since I started riding again I am sad to say that it isn’t worth the price or the subscription I have removed the app and reinstalled it atleast six times seeing how other people have had this issue and it fixed it but now it doesn’t record but when it wants to I went on five rides today out of all five it only decided to record the last ride that’s it..Version: 4.2.1
✓ Favorites doesn’t work on CarPlayThe app completly close when I try to put turn-by-turn favorites on CarPlay. Payed 30$ for this and can’t use it anymore.Version: 5.0.4
✓ Good app when it worksThe app is ok here in the U.K. I use it for mapping routes and then following the route line as well as tracking. Annoyingly, though, I have had a few occasions where the tracking has just stopped randomly and I have not noticed until I have got to my destination. Very annoying if I have travelled a long way which I would like to have tracked to find it hasn’t recorded it. Also, it is constantly bringing up notifications on my Home Screen to allow the app to use Bluetooth to find devices. I DO NOT use it with Bluetooth and, if I did, I would select the option to allow the app to use it myself without having to be prompted. REVER sort these issues out. I pay for Pro and expect a better service..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Don’t buy if you live in CanadaMaps & suggestions don’t work in Canada.Version: 6.2.5
✓ Not Relevant to AustraliaAs title says. If you give it a bad review it won’t let you post a review. How dishonest is this. -1 star.Version: 4.0.2
✓ App OK, Privacy and Cust Srv awfulI would advise everyone to read the privacy statement for the app before downloading it. I’m glad I did instead of taking the word of an employee at a recent m/c rally. I was about to buy a subscription and the lack of privacy was too much. I refuse to pay with both money and personal data. I was also told a low volume of emails. I got more emails in the first several days than I was supposed to get on in a year, and no, it was not my account settings. They were locked down from the start. After having an account for several weeks it was clear that it is not the ‘small startup’ of riders as presented at the rally but instead part of the Cyclegear/Revzilla marketing family. Beware and realize that giving them money is only part of what you are paying..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Crashes a lotGood tracking with okay playback features but it crashes a lot mid ride so the ride recording always gets cut short. Real pain when trying to record new tracks..Version: 5.1.1
✓ TerribleWouldn’t let me sign up with apple id to hide my email. Had the option, just kept failing. Apparently my super common adventure bike (BMW F800 GS) doesn’t exist as it wasn’t an option to add to the garage. Also, there must not be any off road tracks here in Australia because when I choose to view those tracks absolutely nothing comes up. Top job making a useless app 👍🏻.Version: 5.3.1
✓ Bugs with iOS (again)Password reset doesn’t work with the latest version of iOS. Also, iOS updates can log you out of the app without telling you, leaving you unaware that the safety benefit of RealRider isn’t there..Version: 3.2.2
✓ Constant error messagesApp is entirely unusable for me. Constant error messages whenever I try to plan a route using any address. Running a 14 pro Max with the latest software and a very good network connection so it’s definitely not a hardware problem..Version: 7.0.4
✓ Ride not savedRecorded the ride. Got home asked to save. Chose to save. Grey screen. Did not save. Argh!!!!.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Does not work with CarPlayPros 3D mapping potential Con Does not work/mirror well with CarPlay. Constantly ask you to save all your routing even if you want to go to route it to a corner store!.Version: 5.1.0
✓ App is trashI spend 40$, and get an app that doesn’t know how to properly record. We went on a ride today, 4 hours in the app jus randomly stops recording our trail, deletes the history so I can’t even see anything from the ride. And then randomly starts recording while I’m driving home. App has a mind of its own I guess. Waste of 40$ 👍🏻.Version: 5.1.0
✓ CarPlay interface UI is beta level at bestTried the Pro version in Australia by itself it’s the ok on iPhone with CarPlay off - but how is it with the 2020 Africa Twin CarPlay? It’s supposed to be a CarPlay App? Summary = Rubbish mate - very poor beta lvl ui implementation and near unusable for dirt roads routing with zoom in/out buttons disappearing in the cp UI , no skip next waypoint, no recents waypoints selections and no stop routing, no select waypoint on the map in the CP screen on the Honda - ridiculous 30 press to press search for a name - if you exit a route its 3 clicks and then the app crashes. Does not remember user prefs such as dirt roads - cannot select more than one pref - so avoid freeways, avoid dirt not poss. One or the other. Only one lvl of curvey roads compared to other apps with 3 levels. The main feature is Butler maps which don’t work in Aus. Cannot believe they expect money for this cp app?.Version: 4.2.0
✓ TerribleVery expensive I wouldn't waste your money on it.Version: 2.3.6
✓ Pretty good...This app is a great idea. I like being able to plan a route on the computer and just plug it on the bike. I’d give it 5 stars IF you could skip waypoints. Why do I have to close navigation and start over if I “miss” a waypoint? That’s not easy on a bike. I met a buddy at a gas station on a long trip not too long ago. When we left, the app kept telling me to turn around because we didn’t meet at the McDonald’s next door as originally planned. If I could skip waypoints, that would not be a big deal. June 2023 Changed my rating to 1 star. I’ve tried to use this app several times over a few years, and it just continues to disappoint. I gave up using for route planning and navigation, because the navigation is just bad, and the waypoints are a pain. The subscription is absolutely not worth it. I’ve tried to use it for tracking routes and mileage on my dirt bike. It seemed to do well as long as my phone had a signal. If the phone doesn’t have a signal, your data is lost. Why doesn’t it save my route on the phone??? Why is everything stored on a server somewhere. That’s just stupid. Goodbye..Version: 7.0.3
✓ RubbishCan plan rides on the computer, but app keeps crashing if I try and drop a pin or type in a location. Sent a message to support. No response. Pay for it and don’t get the service. Also it does not reroute if you take a different turn. Road closures here are common. Bought the pro version so my rides could be followed from home. Can’t even start one in the app without first planning on an a PC..Version: 5.1.1
✓ No off road maps for Canada..Extremely disappointed in this app. No dirt or even mixed road voices available for Canada. That is the whole reason I purchased this expensive app. Definitely not enough other features to justify $47. App should not be even offered in Canada. If you’re from Canada, don’t waste your money!.Version: 4.0.2
✓ MehCannot get my GoPro to connect. Support was useless, so cancelling my subscription. Shame really, because I chose it over all rivals for its GoPro function.Version: 7.0.2
✓ Not as expected and little supportI purchased the companion RLink device and Pro subscription for two reasons; first, weather overlays and second, automatic route recording. Weather has not worked since day 1. Oh, it shows radar information just fine, it just never refreshes as evidenced multiple times and most recently on a ride from FL to IL. I’ve reported the issue multiple times and the only response so far is that the weather data comes from a third party and should “update frequently”. It does not. I am a member of multiple rider groups and have posed the question in three forums so far. Those who’ve used the weather feature side by side with a weather radar app report the same issue. And, well, there’s also the comparison of REVER radar info to actual conditions on the ground; it just does not work. At this point I am greatly regretting the RLink purchase, which charges $15 a month to interface with REVER Pro (includes the $5 or so monthly pro fee). If there were a way to return the device, cancel the service, and get a refund on the device, I’d be all over it. Unfortunately, RLink does little on its own, requiring REVER to get at the information provided by the device..Version: 4.0.7
✓ Lacks adaptabilityPretty stupid, it only lets you run in portrait mode, so no good for iPad mini or large screen phones..Version: 4.0.7
✓ Great for planning, awful for tracking using BRP ConnectEnjoy the ride recommendations and descriptions. The planning tool and the ability to an ap-to the desired roads between waypoints is nice. But, the tracking is very unreliable; it rarely display on the bike’s screen as it should, the track doesn’t show up in its entirety until the following day. Difficult to resume a planned ride and will not reroute to the next waypoint, much less the final destination, without wanting to turn you back to previous waypoint. Very frustrating to use. I already paid for a year but will likely not renew..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Not worth the time!Terms of Service are so intentionally long and purposely unintelligible that I assumed they are hiding something nefarious. Got half way through and deleted the app. These are TOS for a free iPhone app not a friggin mortgage!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Maps needs a lot of workI’m a new rider and signed up for the Premium REVER option. Generally I like the features offered but two glaring problems: 1. The route mapping option is nice, until you miss a turn or deviate at all from the initial route, as the app seems completely incapable of rerouting. It says it’s rerouting, but it just gets stuck and never actually finishes the task. This happens every time, no matter how strong my signal is or if it’s at the start of ride or at any point during. Only fix I can find is to close the entire app and start over. 2. An absolute battery vampire! Keeping the app open kills the battery on my iPhone 13 pro at least twice as fast as anything else I run, much faster than the usual gps apps. 3. The Rider Community section is incredibly sparse in the SF Bay Area. Would really like to see an effort to change this. I want this app to be great, but unfortunately its only “So-So” thus far..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Log in and passwordWaist of time logging in. One should simply open the app and use it! Unnecessary waist of time while wanting to check out a route on the bike..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Two major flaws impede greatnessBoth relate to the routing engine during turn by turn directions, which no doubt they license, so idk if they can fix: 1. If you go off course at all - stop for gas, backtrack to take a picture, etc. - the app tries endlessly but often fails to reroute. Same if you resume a saved route midway. That results in an endless, annoying beeping in your earphones till you end the ride, save it, reroute again - it basically forces you to stop your ride till you do this or turn off the app or the beeping will annoy you to death. 2. Unlike Google or Apple maps, it doesn’t tell you how far till the next turn. Just a sudden “turn left on Dingus Street” as you blaze through the intersection (then get the endless beeping, per #1 above). So you can’t work by voice alone, you have to keep your (battery draining) screen active - a showstopper on long rides if you don’t have power to your phone on your bike. The “twisty routing” engine is really fantastic and AFAIK unique, but locks you in to Rever - you cannot hop to another map program to solve the above problems. Which would be fine (despite weak traffic data) except for above. If they can fix these, the inclusion of Butler likely makes Rever unstoppable for sport and sport touring bikers. If not, they leave space for a competitor to best them..Version: 7.0.5
✓ Not usefullNot really usefull, most the functionality is broken in events and community etc.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Needs workTurn by turn navigation is good...but the app leans heavily toward 'recording' routes which many folks might not want (including myself). Online mapping tool needs work as well..takes a long to to position waypoints as they don't snap to a nearby road. The worst problem is battery usage. I just installed on my iPhons 13 Pro and if you open the app and then close it (not in use) it will continue use a disproportianate amount of battery than anything else even though the app is not in use. The only way to get it to not eat battery in the background is to tell iOS to restrict background app refresh - which is fine unless you need to follow navigation with another app in the foreground (like camera or video). What the heck is Rever doing in the background while not in use eating up so much battery?.Version: 6.0.2
✓ Be careful of using locationThis seems like an awesome app but I do not like how there is no privacy. Within 24 hours of creating my account, I’ve gotten multiple friend requests from fake accounts wanting me to go to certain websites. Non appropriate, adult websites. Also, I do not like how anybody can find me and see my routes ridden without any sort of confirmation from myself. I tested this and literally found some random persons address by correlating where they consistently started REVER with google maps. It doesn’t seem safe. I would only use this app if you don’t care who can see where you ride and where you live unless you consistently start tracking miles away from your home. I am not going to use this app due to the privacy concerns I have..Version: 4.0.5
✓ Great Concept, Poor ImplementationGreat idea, love the challenges, GPS however this all becomes useless when the app freezes and crashes constantly, especially mid ride when you lose your route and have to stop and reload the program constantly..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Does NOT Work Well with RLinkMy primary reason for using this app was so that I could “automatically” track my rides with RLink, so I paid the extra money to be a pro member, got the RLink transponder installed on my bike and paid the fee for that too. Good to go, right? Everything is going to be automatic now, right? I don’t need to remember to push any buttons or start any apps prior to my ride because Rever and RLink are going to automatically do it for me, right? That’s what the advertisements say, so it must be true, right? Not so much. Apparently, both the REVER app and the RLink device are working spectacularly… They just don’t work together. I guess they “automatically” don’t work together. RLink’s story is that REVER updates the app frequently but they don’t update the things that make Rever and RLink talk to each other properly or frequently enough. I call them and they can see my ride data and even tell me where I’ve been, but the information does not update in the REVER app. Both sides will pretend that this is a temporary situation… But I assure you, that the situation has been constant. So, if you like the REVER app for what it is… it might be a good choice for you. Personally, I find the Scenic app easier to use. If you’re looking for automatic, this is not it..Version: 6.0.2
