This is a bad app they will take your money with no intention of providing what they sell I am in the process of trying to get my money back now but there is no one to contact. I did not even want to give it one star
I too am still using it

While it is not being supported, everything still works great including the map. I see the website is up for sale but it has not effected the functionality. This is my go-to road bike app.
Would love to see better support for Apple Watch

Been searching for a good app as a live dashboard for my bike, so I don’t have to let go of the handlebars to look at the watch. This app looked likes it comes close, but I’ll have to keep looking due to lack of support for Apple Watch as a data source for heart rate.
Still using it ...

It’s not being updated but I keep going back to it. Easy to read when riding, has the basic stuff, and I like the look of it.
Great app, best dashboard view, needs updates

I’ve used this for 3 years now, great app, best dashboard, but it’s not supporting latest Apple Watch 5 for HR...
Great app

I use Bike Brain on every ride for its display. Easy to read and seems very accurate. I use this coupled with Strava since I like the segment feature with that one.
Still no heart rate or cadence

The BikeBrain folks have been promising heart rate and cadence for over a year now. The fact that the console still shows displays for heart rate and cadence is very misleading. The rest of the app is quite good, but the lack of these other measurements is very disappointing
Crazy Good

Insanely good! If there is another cycling app out there as good as Bike Brain, then pigs fly. Wind speed? Are you kidding? Should I give it four stars because it doesn't cut the grass or give me change for a dollar? The case is extremely well designed and constructed also. Don't hesitate. If you want a cyclocomputer, this is it. Period.
Looks nice, but...

After I bought my ANT+ case for my iPhone, I literally spent a couple weeks obsessing over what app I was going to buy to go along with the new hardware. After a lot of consideration I bought BikeBrain. I thought hands down it had the nicest user interface, and it appeared to do everything I wanted it to do. With a deep breath, I hit that "BUY APP" button. Well, after getting the app installed, and my phone seated in the ANT+ case, I hopped on the bike for a test ride. Pretty quickly I regretted the purchase, realzing that lack of heart rate, and cadence, make this app pretty much useless. As there are many other FREE apps out there, giving me the functionality I desired. Oh well, too good to be true. It's too bad, at $1.99 for the purchase, I would have appreciated it if the screen shots didn't mislead (as well as others) to think that these other features were available. Looks like other reviewers have been waiting much longer than I have, so I guess it's time to move one.
