Fitmeter Bike - GPS Cycling

I love this app. It does what I need it to do, which is simple: record my biking routes and the miles I accrue, and keeps them all in a nice history…and it has an affordable, one-time payment. Thanks! The only issue I’ve had is that I accidentally quit the app after showing it to some friends in the middle of a session, and it wiped out all the data from my ride that morning. I started a new session hoping it would just add on from there, but the first part of my journey was lost forever as far as I can tell. Finding no way to retrieve it, it occurred to me that perhaps a Notes section would be a nice addition, not only so that I could document why that day’s ride was so short, but also to have a good way to have a small journal about the things I experience on each ride. Just a thought… Otherwise, I love it, and thanks to the developer for making such a great and affordable app!

I purchased the app last summer after pulling my schwinn Le Tour out of mothballs during the pandemic. I didn’t want to invest a lot in a bike computer in case my reemergence into cycling didn’t take. I still wanted an idea of how far, fast and consistent I was going. This works quite well for that. It works good via GPS. I later purchased Wahoo sensors to get rpm and hopefully better speed data. I imagine Uber / expert cyclists may want more, but there are more expensive “toys” out there for that. My only real criticism is that after you hit “Stop” it asks you if you are really wanting to finish, which is good, but the spot you touch is hard to read and small to aim at , especially with polarized sunglasses on. Maybe they could stack those two options vertically and make them a little bigger. Those like myself who are a little lacking in fine eye hand coordination would likely appreciate.

I admit it...I made a mistake. I have two (2) iPhone 8’s - one (1) for work (and paid for by my employer), and one (1) for personal use. With the COVID-19 pandemic keeping me close to home, I decided to fix up my bicycle a bit - including adding a phone holder to the handlebars. I apparently wasn’t thinking clearly, as my thought was to buy this app for my work phone - assuming there was a way to pay for it with my personal AmEx. I neglected to remember that the Apple account on the work phone was inextricably linked to my business AmEx. This is clearly a personal purchase, and one it appears that I will have to explain to my boss - because immediately after the purchase my mistake was clear, and so I quickly requested a refund. It was denied, but gave me a chance to appeal - which I did, explaining the above. The refund was denied a second time. I don’t know if I was denied by a person or algorithm, but I think they’re both jackasses. With all of the money I’ve spent on Apple products over the years - I would have expected some wiggle room. I told them I would re-order on my personal iPhone...to no avail. I suppose their commission percentage off of a $5.99 app is more important than this loyal client’s satisfaction. From a company valued at $1 trillion - I think this is utterly small minded, and frankly...chickenshit. I advise everyone across the globe from purchasing this app, or any of this company’s products. Thanks for nothing. You bunch of twits!
