Do not forget to press record button!

This is by far the easiest to read app while riding and that makes it the best app if you want to look at it while riding. If you cant read this in direct sunlight then theres no way youre reading anything else on your phone because this is as high contrast and large font as it gets. The graphics dont just look cool, they make it obvious what stat youre looking at. iMapMyRide can display even more stats but the icon representing what the stat is is tiny & you need to spend more time looking at the phone to figure out what the stat means. The colorful spinning crank is obviously cadence, etc. I like that you nit only see your heart rate but you also see a big color coded number indicating your heart rate zone. The inky stats it doesnt show are ride time and distance. If you record youre ride youll see that afterwards. So this is the wrong app if you want to ride 15 miles or 30 min & turn back.

Heres the biggest unintuitive pain about this otherwise great app. Ivwas excited to see an odometer feature. You can configure this for multiple bikes and I think with a separate odometer for each one. I dont have to press record to make the odometer in my car work or to make any cheap bike computer work so it didnt occur to me to press record to get it to record my ride. I felt like an idiot at the end of a 25 mile ride with no history or stats to show. All the other apps have a big green start button so its obvious to push it. With this app you must remember to push record.

So is it worth $12.99? If you want to keep your eyes on the road instead of staring at your iPhone while doing 20 mph trying to figure out which tiny number is what then yes, this is the fastest& easiest reading dash &in less than a second I know my speed, cadence & heart rate. Keeping my eyes on the road is worth it to me. If you wont look at it until the end if the ride then Wahoo Fitness & iMapMyRide are both free& let you post your stats.
