Velodroid GPS Bike Computer

This has been my favourite cycle tracking app since it was released. I love it. However, the elevation data used to work perfectly. But it has been mostly broken for about a year now. Once this fixed it will be back to five stars.

It's been great so far. But for some reason I've been having issues with getting gradient info lately. I read the FAQ. I'm not using the power saver mode on my phone during my rides and my GPS has been working fine with other apps, so I'm not sure what is going on.

Stable app, restarts after phone accidentally reboots. I like it very much. However, 2 stars off, because when you've typed a wrong password for uploading to RideWithGps you can't change it, so you can't upload your rides, have to export them and send them to the pc and then import them. That's silly. Make it possible to change the password.

Incredibly simple to use, and it worked brilliantly today. I'm not ready to upload any of my awful stats yet, but it's great to have them all. Ideal.

By far the best cycling orientated android app I have used. Worth every cent of the $2.99

Very happy. Easy to use, accurate data and easy uploading.

I love it, I only have one problem - how do you turn it off with out shuting down the phone?

It's a great app, i really love it! But there are certain features that I'd love to see in the nearest future: You should add ability to ride with navigation map as well as the option to share total year's and month's distance. Also sharing the map course would be nice!

Great app with room to develop, very impressed so far.

Simple interface, but too simple. How does one stop recording? How do I pause it? I couldn't stop the app without re-booting. The help files are rubbish

There are plenty of plus points to list about this great app: It has a lovely, lightweight and clear aesthetic to its design, and this translates across into its ease of use and efficient function. There are a number of well considered options, of which the most useful is the fairly recently added 'Power Saving mode'. This allowed my battery to last around three times longer than it did without it enabled. Having power saving enabled simply deactivates accurate elevation and gradient recording; speed, distance and such have remained precise. And the great thing is, one can select to 'fix' the elevation data for a ride after its completion. However, I have experienced a few issues with this: occasionally the elevation data does not download, and once, my ride data was lost completely. A second fantastic feature available in the settings is the 'Voice Announcements'. Very handy if your phone spends nearly all of the ride in your pocket, this reads out your key ride stats in a clear, synthetic voice at a choice of pre-set intervals. Thirdly, the RideWithGPS integration is superb and seamless. If you crack out a lot of miles on your bike, this is the app for tracking them.

I've been looking for a replacement for Endomondo. Now I found one - Velodroid. Combined with Ride with GPS an excellent workmate. However, I have a small bug which doesn't prevent me using this but produces some additional work; workouts will be dated one day ahead. I hope support is investigating the reason - at least they contacted quickly.

I have a droid incredible and have used this app a lot since training for a xcntry ride. I've never had a problem with it and it doesn't stop on long rides like Map My Ride sometimes does.

Great app.downloaded the free version and liked it so bought this. Power saving is very cool.

Meh.

Marvellous app!! Unlike previous reviewer reported, very easy to change between metric and imperial. Very user friendly and great customer support for us app ludites. Thanks.

Been using Velodroid for about a year now, very reliable, and the new low power mode has made it even better. Battery lasts easily on really long rides with plenty to spare.

Max speed 175mph..avg -1,7..say no more..disaster don't pay

use this on the weekend for first time and was very impreased

recently used this app a after getting new ice cream sandwich firmware noticed it drained battery life considerably I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2

Even a technologically challenged person like me can use it. I love being able to track both my walks and rides with one easy app!

So far so good. Scrollable but doesn't fit to screen in landscape on Dext when in trip recording mode. So just the 4 stars for now. :-)

Gradient only seems to work when i have data turned on which is rediculous and kills the battery. Otherwise it seems ok. Sometimes speed was wrong and altitude dropped 700 ft once. Interface needs better design as it looks poorly laid out. Looking forward to updates.

This app is clearly designed by cyclists for cyclists. There are a number of apps designed for multiple sports, but if you want to track just cycling this is by far the best option out there. It tracks all the information you need and none of it you don't. Track fitness and such within the easy to use interface. Development team is very responsive, email them with you feedback and they really take it into consideration, creating an app that suits me the user more than any other app.

Velodroid is my go to app for daily commutes. Its simple, clean UI makes it super easy to use but all the key info is accurately recorded. Nice one!

I love the simplicity, and the easy access to past data. A very useful app, thankyou

Great app. I really like how it can tell me how steep the hills I ride are, and the interval feature is really handy for me too.

This is a joke! I do a lot of biking and tried this out. A complete waste of money. I want my money back!!!!!
