Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Does anyone use Runtastic's Road Bike app (free or Pro?) Opinions?

I have been cycling through a bunch of apps and have Strava, Map my Ride and Road Bike Pro on my iPhone.

Strava seems good, but the competitive aspect does not interest me at all. I am a soccer player and am competitive there. On my bike? Not so much.

I have not tried Map My Ride yet.

I was wondering if anyone uses the Runtastic Road Bike app as I have searched for it and there do not seem to be any posts relating to it.


Thanks in advance.

Sorry. Can't speak to those but I do use Runkeeper app. I know it says Run in its name but it does have a cycling option that I use

Runtastic differs by having live tracking included with the pro app. No ongoing subscription fee is required to get live tracking.

By the way, search turns up 70 threads which mention runtastic at bikeforums.

I've been using Runtastic pro for the last 2.5 years and love it. Not a fan nor interested in the competitive or social aspect other apps provide. This app records my data from my Wahoo sensors without any issues and has a great interface.
