Ratings and reviews

I really like the feature to unlock maps with riding x kilometers. I would however advise you to take a look at the voice guidance, since it sometimes tells you to 'turn right' when you in fact have to go straight, but the bike lane just so slightly curves to the right. It got me off-track a couple of times. It's quite important since many bikers rely on voice guidance. But keep working on it, thanks!

The most useful features are subscription-based. Basic features are just okay. The basic features and reviews don't lead me to believe that a subscription would be worth the cost. This app is pretty euro-centric, which is fine if that meets your needs. I am not in Europe and the capabilities are more lacking because of this. I am uninstalling due to abuse of the notification permission to spam me with an advertisement to buy a premium subscription. This is not acceptable. Goodbye.

Best commuting app, bike directions make a lot of sense. Auto tracking of commuting works flawlessly.
