Furthermore you can directly load your Strava routes with segments for Strava Live Segments (only available if you have a Strava subscription) and download workouts from TrainingPeaks.

Ratings and reviews

It epitomizes everything that is wrong with Google's store that Jepster doesn't come up in relevant searches. The app is the best of its type that I've tried and it's free/donation supported. The very best tool and Google buries it. I guess because 30% of $0.00 is $0? Jepster is super configureable, works with all sorts of sensors, doesn't ask for any permissions besides the few necessary. It's a six star app buried in a two star app store.

By far the best bicycle computer app I have tried. Lots of options to configure the screens to your preference. Note to developer: As with most apps you have to choose metric vs imperial units. I would like to see my speed and altitude metrics in both units. I suggest getting rid of the metric/imperial choice and adding both choices to the menu of items for each data field. The app seems to forget my BLE connected heart rate monitor and I have to re-search for it. The phone is a LG G8.

Replaced my Garmin cycling computer with my android smartphone + Jepster app. Jepster is very configurable and feature-rich. I use an Ant+ speed sensor, which functions very well. The app has settings for 4 different bikes--a very useful feature. I prefer using Jepster to my Garmin, as it (Jepster) has plenty of features and options, and I really like being able to utilize my phone for several purposes. Jepster is a great app. Their are several ways to extend your phone battery, while using Jepster--read the manual, for hints. Note: I use a Quadlock phone mount, it's great.
