Runtastic Road Bike GPS PRO Reviews

Wonderful, but more can be done.

I’ve used Runtastic Road Bike Pro for a while now, and everything works well for me feature-wise. The elevation charts and heat maps have been very useful in analyzing my riding during races, or just recreationally. It’s a good app, and the team at Runtastic should be proud of what they’ve accomplished. My biggest gripe is that there is still not yet an Apple Watch interface for the app. I was hoping I’d be able to pause/resume my ride without having to retrieve my iPhone from the saddlebag, or be able to quickly check on my pace, time elapsed, cals burnt, current HR, etc. Having quick access to this data during a race can keep a rider motivated to finish strong, or help riders with pacing themselves. In fact, adding a “bike computer” in the form of an Apple Watch version of the app would give it a significant edge over the competition. Aside from that, I’ve also noticed the app is a battery hog. Perhaps that’s on my end, but any kind of optimization to reduce the battery usage goes a long way to extending the range a user can track a ride. Workout integration would also be great, but that’s less important to me.

Great app. Easy to use and great for keeping records of rides. Only problem is that if you don't swipe just right, app goes to map screen while clock is still running. Then you have to minimize map screen to pause or stop. Otherwise. I love it.

Live it!

Love this app!!! But it drains my battery completely after two hours. This puts you at risk if an emergency should arise when you are cycling.

Apple Watch

Missing the link to Apple Watch and that you can read the heart rate from there on the app

Frustrating app

Roadbike pro is the most annoying app I use with regularity. Runtastic crossed the line when they gave me the option of giving them a five star rating or not reviewing at all. I tried sending emails expressing my concerns but received no response. You should consider these points prior to purchase. Pause and resume buttons are much too small to use, particularly during oxygen debt. If you miss the button the screen shifts and you must find buttons that are even smaller to return to the original screen. The scale of the map (about 500 yards) it's not useful for a cyclist; it should be about five miles (or adjustable). Map display should be 'track-up' or 'north -up' according to the riders preference. North-up is the only option the app offers. It is possible to add remarks (such as wind speed), but the clutter of emojis makes it impossible to see what you are writing. Thank you Runtastic. You have a mediocre app!

Useless App

I updated to the Pro version and it's pretty much useless. The GPS does not work which makes this nothing more than a stop watch. I made sure my iOS was updated, deleted the App and reinstalled it etc with no resolve. Ive also read where others are having this same issue and contacted customer support and didn't receive a response. I'll try another App ?
