I was curious enough about Cyclemeter to use the paid premium version for most of 2017. I set up two Strava accounts: one using Strava itself to record my rides; the other for uploading Cyclemeter data, which Strava would re-interpret so the posted results differed slightly from Cyclemeter.

Yup, Cyclemeter is an excellent app and a great value at only $10 a year. I may renew it. My 2017 subscription expired at the end of November and I've had a month without it. I'm missing some features, especially the voice prompts. I became accustomed to setting up voice prompts every 1-3 minutes for interval training sessions, or every mile for longer rides.

During that time I've tried several other free and trial version apps and none is really satisfactory. Only Wahoo Fitness is reasonably satisfactory, and that version is best on the iPhone rather than Android. They differ slightly in setup choices for important stuff like setting auto-pause/resume threshold. When I've run the Android version of Wahoo Fitness it often includes my time paused while visiting family in hospital, eating at restaurants, etc., so my overall average speed is logged as around 3-5 mph. My actual riding speed is around 12 mph. The iPhone version records this appropriately, but the Android version doesn't. Same with Endomondo, possibly the most useless app I've tried so far.

But Strava's free version works well enough to make most other apps pointless. There are only minor differences in data -- speed, time, distance, elevation, etc. And Strava allows free users to access their data anytime. For example, I just downloaded all data from one Strava account so I can transfer it to my primary Strava account. I'll let the other go dormant since I used it only to compare various apps.

Cyclemeter does not permit users unrestricted access to their own data. I can no longer access the data files for my year of paid Cyclemeter until I renew the subscription. It's possible I can access the Cyclemeter data archived to iCloud, but I don't know yet whether it can be accessed only through the app, or if it's in one of the standard data file formats (GPX, TCX, KML, etc.).
