Good ideas. Great potential. Needs work. To record a ride, you HAVE to allow this app to spy on your location all the time. Other apps (Polar, Strava) can be set to "spy on me when app is running" and will work in the background. Why not this one? The challenges idea is cool, but I've signed up for few and recorded rides, but they are not being marked as counting towards challenges. No explanation of why. Better documentation / expln needed.

Can't you just sync with map my ride or ride with GPS or Google fit? Do I have to remember to start yet another tracker just so you can get some bike month data? Not likely to happen.

Previous update resolved issue of app not running in the background and now I can use this app to save my rides. Looking forward to many more miles in the saddle once the weather warms up a little. (Pixel 4a running Android 11)

It follows routes pretty well and pauses when I am stopped. Trying to save routes so that they show up under the routes tab is a complete mystery.

Great way to motivate your self to ride!

It doesn't record unless the screen stays on even though I allowed it to. Pretty pointless if you want to keep it in your pocket. No options to import or connect to strava or any other service.
