BioLogic BikeBrain – GPS bike and cycle computer App Reviews

After I bought my ANT+ case for my iPhone, I literally spent a couple weeks obsessing over what app I was going to buy to go along with the new hardware. After a lot of consideration I bought BikeBrain. I thought hands down it had the nicest user interface, and it appeared to do everything I wanted it to do. With a deep breath, I hit that "BUY APP" button. Well, after getting the app installed, and my phone seated in the ANT+ case, I hopped on the bike for a test ride. Pretty quickly I regretted the purchase, realzing that lack of heart rate, and cadence, make this app pretty much useless. As there are many other FREE apps out there, giving me the functionality I desired. Oh well, too good to be true. Its too bad, at $1.99 for the purchase, I would have appreciated it if the screen shots didnt mislead (as well as others) to think that these other features were available. Looks like other reviewers have been waiting much longer than I have, so I guess its time to move one.

when comparing it to my cheap on board computer, the speed was way off. At best, it was close after riding at a constant speed for a few thousand feet. the GPS track seemed perfect though, but Im more interested in speed accuracy.

So I upgraded from Lite so that I could share my rides on Facebook - but it still doesnt work! I get an error message everytime! What kinda BS is this? I want my money back.

Facebook sharing is not available. Paid $1.99 for this feature and it is not functional. Tech support instructions only succeed in deleting my ride data. Want a refund!!!!!

Fix Facebook or refund all of our purchases. No excuses.

Fix the Facebook sharing or give us a refund. iTunes should not allow you to sell this app until you get it fixed as advertised.

Awesome for a free app. I like the map & the pause trip feature. Sharing is an upgrade...if you need to share your ride with your fb friends...well, youre suspect!!!

Awesome app. Miles per hour, distance and route log are my favorite. Many other features. The lite is good enough but I love it so much I upgraded. Dont need to though. Great free app!!

Still no bluetooth 4 support for heart rate monitor? Thats way more important than posting to Facebook.

The free version is cripple ware so I purchased it to get all the paid features. Too bad the app wont unlock out of lite demo mode. Apple wont help me because its a third party app and Biologic is completely unresponsive for support. I will do a card charge back for a refund for this junk.

I like this app a lot, but made the mistake of not re-setting my iphone. My rides ("trip history") were all lost, which serve as a kind of biking diary during travels. There really should be a simple Dropbox sync of data (like other iphone apps, such as BookCrawler). Yes, you can email each ride manually, but there is not automatic syncing to a cloud-based service. That should be a minimum for apps like this. Also There should be a way to make the map full screen while riding. I find myself turning this app on, and then switching to google maps (when I could, now Im stuck with that mediocre and unresponsive Apple Maps) to see a map at full screen.

Please add the feature that keeps up w splits and will show them on the summary and map. Also adding a ghost runner option would be great.Ill give it 5 stars when u do!

Love the app after 6 months of use-- everything you could want. The video/camera would be 1000x better if it had a speed, heading, and attitude overlay ( think of the HUD on a jet fighter). That would be awesome...and a good means to critique rides on ones highlight reel!

Good app, except you cannot share trips on Facebook. Disappointing.

Ap was working great. Post my first three trips on face with data. Thought wow thus us really cool and I dont have to pay monthly. Bluetooth sensors work awesome love the dashboard. Love the all the great data. But suddenly it stop posting to face book. So I emailed bike brain and after 2 emails they tell me that its Facebooks fault. Said they are working on it. Its been about two weeks. Still dont post to Facebook. Hopefully they will fix it soon.

Very capable; clearly the developer is trying to fine-tune the app based on things most needed on a bike ride. Lower battery usage tweaks are much appreciated!

I use this every time I ride and its great to keep track of your calorie burn, distance, speed and altitude changes. Works flawlessly from my experience with it for about 18 months now. Never do a ride without it. I also use it to double check my onboard bike computer. Highly recommend this app.

Do not get it if you are going on long rides...it will stop recording (iphone 5, IOS6). It did not record all my 5 hours ride...only the initial 2h or so

This app works beautifully connecting to my BLE speed/cadence sensor. Unfortunately when I export the data to be uploaded to Strava, there is no cadence information. Cadence data is only stored in the CSV file which is unrecognisable by any of the online training logging sites. Disappointing.

Awesome app! Works great and is very well made!
