You can easily connect to your ANT+™ or Bluetooth cadence, heart rate, speed and power meters sensors (ANT+™ sensors requires ANT+™ hardware support on your smartphone, Bluetooth sensors require Bluetooth low energy support). Your ride data will be stored on your smartphone as a FIT file.

- GPS route navigation
Load GPX tracks or Strava routes which will be shown on the map such that you can easily follow your route (no turn by turn navigation). You can choose to either use Google Maps or Openstreetmap (Openstreetmap supports offline maps and has more functionalities).

- Climb profile & data
Routes with elevation data will be analyzed and the climb profile will be visible when you are close to (less then 500m) or on the climb.

- Strava & TrainingPeaks
You can connect Jepster to your Strava and TrainingPeaks account such that you can upload your activities directly from Jepster to Strava/TrainingPeaks. 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.

- Workouts
You can download your planned bike workouts from TrainingPeaks (workouts planned up to 7 days ahead) or load a Zwo (Zwift Workout) file. Jepster will give you a written and visualized overview of the workout and provide you with real-time information about the duration left and your current power compared to the lower and higher targets (heart rate limits can also be shown).

- Auto pause
Auto pause feature to automatically pause your activity when stopped riding. You can choose the auto pause trigger value between 0 - 4,5 km/h.

Ratings and reviews

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.

Wow, I've been looking for a good app for weeks and finally found this. So many others don't have Strava route import, and Strava itself obviously doesn't support sensors anymore. This works great. Minor nitpick: it'd be great if it had a way to sync weight in from Google Fit so it doesn't need to be updated manually. Auto-upload would also be nice. But those are such minor things. Though for what it's worth I'd pay a bit more if turn-by-turn was added.
