New York Bike App Reviews

Good app

Very good app but it would help if all the boroughs were on one screen. Also, the direction of traffic would help.

Love it!

Gets me where I need to go, lets me know where Ive been.

A great tool.

Having just moved to the City, it has given me the confidence to brave all the boros!

PROMOKiD says

Does great for me. Im fully competent on how to use the app. So I use it all the time. $$$ well spent.

I was hoping for a reference map.

I find this app to be poor. Wrong info. Unable to figure out how to turn on other boroughs.

Not bad

I wish the "share" a map function worked, thats be cool. A bit too much going on.

Hard to use

I dont understand why this app is so complicated. I should be able to enter an address, hit "go," and it should immediately provide the bike route. I only accidentally figure out to use it and thats after fiddling around for a few minutes straddling my bike on the street. Not good. It doesnt recognize addresses half the time. The sharing of info features are a nice plus but when the simplest request is so complicated I dont use it. Is it not possible to create something exactly like the directions Maps for iPhone gives for driving, foot, and transit? I do not recommend this app. Yet.

Should be called Manhattan bike map

No maps in the boroughs. Save your money

useless

who made this? Ive tried a number of specific addresses in Brooklyn an manhattan, as well as specific intersections—WAY more info than one would need with google or even apple maps—and it cannot find anything.

Useless junk

Cannot find a single address. I bought this for the directions function which 100% does not work. I got duped. Dont make the same mistake.

Works perfectly after update!

Dont forget to allow location services for the app if you have that feature locked in your restrictions. Works great! Perfect for me as a commuter. Thanks for the update!

Pretty Bad

You need to toggle between boros and its very hard to tell which direction a lane goes in without zooming in super close. It also constantly pulls you back to your current location ... Very annoying! But worst of all, none of the recent enhancements in Manhattan (lanes on upper 1st and 2nd Ave and in midtown) have been added yet. And I never bother with its awful directions interface. The day Google maps adds bike lanes to its app is the day I delete this.

Doesnt work

Wont let me into the app. Keeps asking me to use my current location, and when I click yes the app closes.

Impossible to navigate outside your current location

This is great if you are only concerned with your immediate 2 block radius. If you try to plan in advance and look at bike lanes further out, its impossible because the app constantly pops you back to your current location.

Old NYC bike lanes

I bought this app to show the bike lanes in New York. Unfortunately, the bike lanes are out of date. There are so many bike lanes that are not listed on the app. Hope they update it soon

Great app!

Fantastic app just got even better with CitiBike share stations! Thanks for quickly getting the update out.

Puts all the others in the shade.

Excellent. Ive got other NYC cycling apps and this is by far the best.

Best Bike App Available

This app works great! I love that I can choose between Google and OpenStreetMap data. I had a question and the developer responded quickly by email. Works much better than the Citi Bike app and others Ive tried. This app is the perfect companion for the NYC bike share program.

Great app!

Informative, clean and very useful app!

Handy and less battery use than Google Maps

I use this app quite often and find the Citibike stations & bike routes fairly accurate. Only wish I could see routes for different boroughs at once, and sometimes I dont agree with the directions provided (but then again, I do the same on Google!)
