Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R4] MTB Project 1/5 · US Removal of GPX files and other issues: The app doesn’t make it easy to reset your password. Also there are no longer GPX options to download to a Garmin.
2. [R9] MTB Project 3/5 · US Needs One Feature For Me: MTB Project is a good app for mountain bikers but it misses out on one key feature I need. There is no field for eMTB. A huge number of single track and some double track in my state (Oregon) is off limits to eMTB. Bummer, because we respect the trails and other users. MTB Project offers nothing helpful to eMTB riders.
3. [R61] Cyclemeter Cycling GPS Tracker 1/5 · US Pay to use features: If you have any sensors, you have to pay to use them.
4. [R65] Cyclemeter Cycling GPS Tracker 5/5 · US Great app: Tried Strava and Cyclemeter, I like Cyclemeter better. The feature that won me over is capability to use my iwatch for heart rate monitor.
5. [R3] MTB Project 3/5 · US Works ok with a few major bugs: I love this app for planning rides, but for usinig it to navigate it has several major issues. The first is it constantly pops up a spammy window for Onyx mapping, somtiimes this window will not close on my phone. It happens constnatly. The other issue is when I'm trying to use the app to navigate on a ride, if I use my phone for a brief time to take a photo, I co
6. [R12] MTB Project 3/5 · US Love it, but…: MTB Project is a fantastic app for finding trails, but when in an area with on and off cell signal the app was crashing constantly. Fortunately, I had other map apps to help me navigate. I was following a pinned route and it was very frustrating to have the app continuously crash trying to find my way. To the developers, please make the app function better without cell service and w
7. [R78] Cyclemeter Cycling GPS Tracker 3/5 · US Review 2: has a serious GPS delay: I’ve moved to AZ and use this in Tucson for road biking. I ride on the loop and am basically in the open and it takes 20-30 seconds to display any movement from pressing start. It’s usually at least 0.05mi behind where I am. And keeps running 20 seconds or so after I stop as the average speed drops. I’m using an iPhone 13 so it’s not processor related in
8. [R64] Cyclemeter Cycling GPS Tracker 2/5 · US Great features, BUT…: After 2 1/2 years and several updates, I don’t see bugs getting fixed anymore. PROBLEM 1: I typically ride 30 to 50 miles, and I have to say, almost half of those rides experience Cyclemeter STOPPING (stops tracking) somewhere in the middle of a ride. Sure, there’s an alert, but my screen is usually off so I don’t see it until I happen to open up my phone again. So instea
9. [R10] MTB Project 1/5 · US Nothing but crashes: Used the app for years with no issue, but using it with low service now and it continuously crashes. Very disappointing and makes the app completely unusable. Also please update your UI for Liquid Glass, the app looks terrible
10. [R19] MTB Project 1/5 · US Always crashes: I really want to like this app, but no matter what I do, whether it’s zooming out to look at maps, or search trails, the app always crashes. Worth noting I’m on a new iPhone 17 Pro
11. [R2] MTB Project 5/5 · US Amazing App: Made by the same creators of Hiking Project, this is an amazing app. No big companies asking for their $30 premium for the most basic of features. No ads, only just pure trails and community help. Please let me marry these developers.
12. [R38] MTB Project 5/5 · US The only option: Let me just say that it is not as complete as other apps, but I don’t have to pay a monthly subscription to search for trails. They are not about making money, they are about mountain bikers having fun.
13. [R67] Cyclemeter Cycling GPS Tracker 1/5 · US Ads come on when starting the app even with paid membership: Advertisements come on and take five minutes to get closed this is very annoying when sitting on the bike getting ready to ride, I have a paid subscription and I am getting slammed with advertisements when starting the app and when I stop the ride count. I will be looking for another app that does not spam me to death! When technology is
14. [R82] Cyclemeter Cycling GPS Tracker 1/5 · US Full of ads; unusable free version: This app has gone to crap. Full of ads, yet still required to pay for any useful features like bike speed/cadence. This app used to be awesome but now free Strava, or free MapMyRide give you more than CycleMeter does. So unfortunate devs chose this way to go. I deleted the app.
15. [R36] MTB Project 3/5 · US MTB Project used to great, but since OnX bought it, it seems to crash all the time.: I used to really enjoy MTB Project, but lately It seems to crashes all the time.
16. [R40] MTB Project 1/5 · US Crashes ALL THE TIME: There are no words for how much rage this app gives me now. It crashes constantly. I’ve been using it for 4 years and have never had this problem. Whoever made these unstable changes should be fired immediately. I look forward to someone duplicating this exact app but without the crashing. I will switch in a heartbeat
17. [R103] Cyclemeter Cycling GPS Tracker 5/5 · US Great functionality and support: While I only use a small portion, the feature set on this app is extensive. Beyond the feature set, things I love about this app is the data stays on your device, can be exported and very importantly the data can be edited. I started on Android and needed to switch to ios. Because the data is on your device the process is a bit tricky, but the great support team (s
18. [R89] Cyclemeter Cycling GPS Tracker 5/5 · US There isn’t anything about this that isn’t fabulous: I am absolutely blown away by how much it has helped me in my work out rides. I was able to customize the home screen to put exactly what I wanted to see when I was working out right on my phone. I use an iPhone pro 12 and the graphics are clear and easy to read. I needed some assistance and I contacted technical assistance. They were right on t
