HOW DOES MY SMARTPHONE GET ON MY BIKE?

The app has a lot of trouble finding the addresses i'm looking for. It doesn't seem to be able to understand that I want a route to a specific house number or it just gives me some random house on the street or doesn't understand what suburb I'm talking about. I like the design and interface but without being able to search for the place i want to cycle to, I'm gonna need a refund.

Pretty decent. Routes are cool, and has given me some pretty decent routes. Would be good if there was a hill avoid option for routes, but local knowledge steps in for me there. It would be nice if the app could be a smart watch app, with maybe just keeping track of your journey or something. But it's the best out of the 4 I've tested so far.

Very good and reliable app. It covers most of quiet ways and bike lanes. Allows you to explore city. Also AI is better than GMaps. Timing of it is way better, so it's far less likely to miss the turn. I do recommend it. Sometimes, the route dissappeared. Sometimes the map doesn't align with current road. The arrow is in a line of buildings. It's very rare, but happened few times that map guides me through dangerous roads that are not meant for bicycles. Its in regards of London.
