REVER - Motorcycle GPS & Rides

Can you please fix the bluetooth access prompt? I’ve denied access to it but even after doing so the app still prompt it in very abusive way it can, just like even when app is closed and you’re on a different app screen the access request prompts keep bugging you. This keeps happening multiple times a day! It’s a great app but also a great annoyance and i’m troubled by it. Will edit review as soon as this is fixed. Using it on iOS 16.4.1 Edit: Just switched to Relive app and I’ve so much fun with it, tons of features and has video edit at every end of the ride.

Rider friendly app

So I initially enjoyed using the app as I was able to record the route a friend took for one of our rides and after some trial and error, I was also able to create a route of my own on some side roads, intentionally avoiding the main roads, to add some adventure to an otherwise repetitive route courtesy of other navigation apps. On the day I was to try the route with some friends, I discovered that I can hardly hear the voice directions (iPhone 12 pro max was on my pocket as apple recently advised owners not to mount on a motorcycle) on my Cardo. After waiting for the faint sound of a voice for quite some time and feeling like the place we were riding on didn’t look right anymore, I decided to stop on the side of the road to check on Rever which was supposed to be running in the background at least. To my surprise, the app was even asking me to sign back in. Not only did it exit while we were riding, it actually logged out. I just decided to launch trustworthy Google Maps and it was such a relief to hear the voice directions so loud and clear. But our group had to forego the original plan and just head to another destination which, I know, is par for the course in the life of a motorcyclist but it was really disappointing finding out that I couldn’t count on Rever.

Relive is better

I greatly enjoy tracking our rides and gives you more information. Love this apps!

Good for solo or with company, helps track your ride with accuracy in speed and distance!

Good app

Can be used without using mobile data which saves battery.

I have had REVER pro for years and have had problems with it saving my rides consistently. Incidentally it always seems to happen on big rides. The application crashes and the ride is lost forever. Save your money it’s not worth the frustration.

I tried this app on the recommendation of a few podcasts. I was surprised to find how strangely finicky it was for plotting routes and following them. The twisty roads setting just sent me into neighborhoods to hit 4 miles of stop signs. I dislike riding with a phone mount and when the phone is in your pocket and you miss a turn, all it does is a loud annoying beep repeatedly until you want to ride off the road and end it all. After that terrible experience it the. Proceeded to run in the background and kill my phone battery repeatedly for the next 4 days. Thanks for the free trial, I now know this app is a waste of money.
