Bike Doctor - Easy bike repair and maintenance

I have to admit to not having needed to use this App in an emergency but just reading through it I am terrified. I have returned to cycling after 30 years - and reading the bit on 'what to do if you get a puncture' I don't think I could cope at all. Also I've never heard of anyone have a spare inner tube in their bag - is this normal? Maybe it is but I have no idea of knowing. I find my bike hard to manoeuvre though it's very light 10kg - I have to take the front wheel off and undo the brakes when at home to hang it on the wall and it takes me 40 minutes to put the wheel on and adjust the brakes, each and every time. I just know, if I got a puncture out with my bike, I'd be helpless as I'm not sure what I'd do -- I bought this App so I wouldn't feel helpless but it's just made me feel worse. Isn't there something out there for the complete beginner? Please?

Great

This App is OK for 6yo kids with bikes with stabilisers. I've had the free version for a few years now and what I was expecting for my money in Version 2.0 was an improvement in the repair skills. I know how to oil my chain. I want to know how to maintain my Disk Brakes I've just done £3 in Please show your metal and address the level of technical skills in the App.

A very useful aide-memoirs that can be carried on rides and propped up in the garage for fettling duties! Easily understood, even a d.i.y dunce like me can use it😊

I've found this really useful. I'm female, retired, and the only cyclist in the household and have had to teach myself to do many of the basics of caring for my road bike myself. This app, combined with some good YouTube videos, has proved a great combination to learn from. The explanations are simple and well-written and the photos are good. Even where it's a different type of bike being modelled, I can usually relate it to my own bike. I always use it when I have a job to do... Today's was fitting a new chain for the first time.

Changing the cassette on my bike I bought this app to help as I hadn't done it in a year or two. However, I found the instructions laboured and cumbersome. A search on YouTube gave me much better instructions and was free.

Great app, however feel very let down that Iv had to pay for it twice.Bought it last year and when I tried to re download it I was charged again

The content that's there is ok. Was expecting a little more really. Would be nice to see it also cover HandCycles as there are some differences to look out for. Think it could also be expanded to have info as well to cover certain subjects for those wanting more from the app

What a waste of money. I'm no expert but what I have just read is pretty basic. As a lot of modern cycles have disc brakes surely that should be included as that is a little more technical. Would I get a refund as I already know how to oil a chain. I doubt it.

As a complete novice who is happy to get his hands dirty having s try and learning, this app is amazing! Brilliantly simple step by step guides and a must for anyone who is prepared to have a try. I'm not in the habit of writing many reviews, so for me to do this, I must be happy!
