Review summary

Users appreciate the Rapha Cycling Club app for connecting with fellow club members and facilitating ride joining. Recent updates have improved usability and added features such as GPX sharing. However, multiple reviews report persistent bugs including crashes, profile editing errors, and slow loading times. The chat function is frequently criticized as messy and unreliable, lacking key features like private messaging. Additionally, users face issues with timezone errors when adding rides to the calendar and inability to download GPX routes, highlighting areas needing further improvement.

2024-04-13	Ja*****	I've got 2 different Android phones and for some reason neither of them are able to start a chat message. The option isn't available when pressing the '+' button

2023-02-10	Ch*****	Nice app but please correct the timezone bug of the 'add to calendar' feature. Rides I sign up for unfortunately show up at the wrong time when added to my device.

2021-02-04	Sc*****	This is a good app for keeping in touch with the clubhouse members, but when I try to change my profile picture I get the (error) message: "Could not find profile, please try again later". My membership badge is available in the top left of the app so what's wrong? (I was unable to log out as my profile was unavailable. However, an uninstall and reinstall solved the problem. Updated the rating.)

2020-09-11	Ja*****	I like the RCC club and I think the app works fine. Would like to see a bit more features in the app: -queue function for full rides

2020-01-20	A *****	The whole concept is fantastic and the rides amazing and the app has slightly improved since I first downloaded it. There are still some important issues: - it's impossible to upload images to edit the profile image. The only available option seems to be to take a picture but you can't upload a photo from the phone gallery - loading times are often slow and I have to close and reopen the app to solve them - chat is messy

2019-09-17	A *****	Extremely slow and buggy. You can pretty much just join or leave rides. There is no private chat and no way to search and look up riders, which in my opinion is a key for such a big cycling community.

2019-07-10	A *****	I haven't been able to log into the app. I am using the same credentials as the ones on the Rapha web site and they work fine there, using my email address as the login. It is quite annoying because I cannot book group rides!

2019-06-26	A *****	Android can only use metric unit, and no option to change. Compared to IOS it uses English system by default. I am not sure if investing on recording workout is a good idea as there are plenty of bike computers with heart rate tracking +map. Also there are other apps for such a function. There is not a way to load a map (GPX) file to follow a route. I hope though that the app integrates the forum chat. I like that the app is the place to find local or nearby rides

2019-06-18	A *****	The app has been given a good refresh with a lot of the bugs fixed and some nice new (and working!) features added like the ability to share routes as gpx files
