Latest reviews of New York Bike app for iPhone and iPad
Doesnt give direction like NYC spokes does and doesnt give a full map like NYC bike map app does. However the layers are nice, though playing with them causes the app to crash. Im going to give this a shot and leave it on my phone until it gets an update. Its got potential.
I like that it has a GPS feature and you can modify it on the go. Not like other stiff bike maps.
Its good, has GPS, and is up to date which is great. Just wish more people used it to take full advantage of the other features like the bike friendly establishments- Im always looking for restaurants that will cater to my bike like they do strollers
Most up to date and functional bike map for the iPhone.
Really great app. Im surprised more ppl havent reviewed it! It is really helpful.
