Review summary

Bike Tracker is highly praised for its seamless integration with Ride With GPS, offering reliable turn-by-turn voice navigation that works well even on slower devices. Users appreciate its simplicity, free cost, and effective performance. However, some have experienced GPS accuracy problems post-updates and note the absence of route saving or sharing features. The UI appears dated, and the app requires certain phone settings adjustments for best functionality. Overall, it is considered an excellent, dependable cycling companion app with strong community support.

Provides reliable turn-by-turn voice navigation with clear audio prompts.
Lightweight and efficient app that works well even on slower phones.
Free to use with good functionality comparable to paid apps.
Responsive and helpful user support and active community forum.

Cons

Occasional GPS accuracy issues and difficulty obtaining GPS signal after updates.
No option to save or share completed routes within the app.
User interface looks dated and lacks modern design elements.
Requires disabling battery/cpu saver settings for optimal performance.

2020-07-22	Ma*****	I have to revoke my rating. After update, accuracy is at 3km. Hard to obtain GPS. Such a pitty. Will try one more time if not workibg, scrap it.. -------‐------------------------------------------------------------------- This is awsome application. It tracks what i want, show in a readable form, does not spy me, and does not bug me. During time I will report on reliability. Keep good work going

2020-06-03	Ke*****	I recently had a problem connecting this with RwGPS, but a quick note to the forum and it was fixed it in lightening time. So if I could award this 6 stars for it's usefulness and support, I would! I use Bike Tracker (BT) to log directly into RidewithGPS to get voice guidance. RwGPS has voice guidance but I found it unreliable on my phone. BT isn't fancy but it does give good voice guidance and hasn't lost the GPS signal over the several years I have used it. If you want to get the best out of BT, it has lots of help in the app.

2019-11-17	A *****	So far all I've done is download & install the app and connect it up to my Ride with GPS account. Based on what I'm reading and what I see, this app looks AMAZING!! I'll actually give it a try this afternoon on my ride home from work and will update my review afterward. Update 11/16/19: I've been using this app for two years and it's still 5+ stars. The integration with RWGPS is awesome and the audio prompts are exactly what I need. I have a bike computer with routing (Wahoo Elemnt) but when I'm navigating a route I'm unfamiliar with the audio prompts from Bike Tracker are just what I need. I put a single bluetooth earbud in my ear and rely on the prompts from Bike Tracker to get me where I'm going. Love it!!

2019-08-05	A *****	I have updated from my previous review (2 stars). Previously I was suffering from a very buggy and temperamental experience, which was detracting from what looked like a nice idea and much needed app for the cycling community. I stuck with it and have had a pretty flawless experience since. I can say that you definitely need any battery/cpu saver setting on your phone turned off as this can interfere with the apps operation. Also make sure you have a green or yellow GPS fix shown at the bottom.
