Pros and cons of Ride with GPS: Bike Navigation app for iPhone and iPad

Ride with GPS: Bike Navigation app good for

This is my favorite iPhone ride tracking app. The recent update to version 1.5.2 (finally) added support for the Scosche Rhythm+ Heart Rate monitor, which is the best non-cheststrap HR monitor currently available, far better than inaccurate wrist sensor units. Hopefully version 1.6.0 doesnt break that again! Note to potential RWGPS subscribers: Skip the $3.99/7 day in-app Basic membership option and instead go to their website to sign up for the $6/month Basic or $10/month Premium memberships (with better savings for annual subscriptions.) If the upgrade-only features are useful to you, those are a much better deal. UPDATE: The release notes for version 1.6.0 claim there are "more subscription options" for in-app purchases, but after this latest release the only option continues to be the terrible value of Basic at $3.99 for 7 days. Docked one star for claiming this was addressed without actually addressing it. :-(
This APP is a must have for any cyclist looking to record and navigate bike rides. I use it multiple times a week both on and off the grid. I download routes and maps I created using the site and record all my rides. Highly recommend any cyclist to check it out.
All i suggest is to add a hybrid option to the map. Other wise, i love this app!
This is a great tool for cyclists. The route mapping feature is terrific and the riding directions are indispensable. I never ride without it anymore. The only issue I have is that it wont work properly with my Wahoo RPM speed sensor.
In combination with the website, which is the best tool out there for planning or finding a route, this app is all you need for touring. Select tour route, hit ride, put it in your pocket, and the mechanical lady will tell you when to turn. If you get off route pull out your phone and look at the excellent open cycle map. If you want a on handlebar display buy a Wahoo and they will link through Bluetooth. When youre touring you can plan routes really well on an iPad mini and then they are automatically on your phone app and you can download all the maps for a route so it keeps working when youre out in the middle of nowhere and there is no signal. And at least on a plus the battery drain is minimal. Highly recommended.
Ive tried the top three and this one is the best. Creating rides and following them is easy. Finding rides from my local club or other riders is key. Ive discovered some great routes through this app and RideWithGPS guides me through the ride.

Some bad moments

It says developped for iphone and ipad but is not compatible with ipad!!! Is it coming soon, or is there no plan for ipad?
This app is useless without a paid subscription. Unfortunately it costs $5 for 7 days access. No options for reduced cost for monthly or annual access. Anyone else find this ridiculous. Didnt bother. Just deleted.
So the website is ok. But the app has no ant+ support and if you want the turn by turn navigation you need to pay 4 bux for 7 days. I was hoping to at least see the cue sheet but nope. There are better apps out there.
Nice features, but you can upgrade for 7 days? Then what? Every time you need to download a route you have to upgrade again. Poor model for users. Just provide a way to pay and unlock all features without expiration and you may get more people to buy.
As a new rider all I want is an app that gives me directions and records my progress. To create a route or follow someone elses is a mess. I cant wait until I can use google maps for more of this stuff and Im sure it wont cost me $50!!!
I see no value in this app. Strava has all the same features for free, plus gives you a whole lot more feedback on how you were doing. Fail.
