Customer Reviews

Very useful (5 stars)
Anyone who bikes in NYC should have this app.

Pretty useful (4 stars)
As near as I can tell, it's better than anything else on the market. It doesn't always give the best routes but it's certainly better than nothing, especially when exploring new territory. I just wish you could move the route around the way you can with regular Google maps.

Never has given me the best route (1 star)
I live in greenpoint Brooklyn, which means almost every route that I take to get to soho or the lower east side should use the Williamsburg bridge. According to this app, I should be going a mile out of my way every time and take the manhattan bridge. It's directed me over the 59th street bridge to get to 14th and 1st! Crazy. Completely useless.
