Best smartphone app for rides

[ddj]

+1 for cyclemeter. Been using for over 3 years. Has amazing features. I pay a annual fee for the pro version which I typically never do.

What app is the best to use as my cycling GPS?

 

I currently use Strava with a paired HR sensor, hoever its not on for display, just in my pocket with voice prompts on my distance etc ( which is a bit of a hit / miss)

I use a iphone 6s so battery life is ok. But would love a app that only lights up when I want it too say every km or when HR goes over a certain bpm so I save the battery.

 

I want to hold back on getting a dedicated GPS again as im gona try the free apple watch from discovery and then wait and see what the 520 is in for in terms of price drops and upgrades later in 2016.

 

You simply must get a Wahoo Fitness RFLKT+ 

 

Will solve all these issues!

I have always used RunKeeper (ignore the name, there is a cycling / mountain biking mode).   It tracks everything, uses practically no battery and is super accurate.

 

Give it a bash.   I use it to see where the trails were in the mountains etc... always like to zoom in and look on the maps later on my computer.
