The routes it plans are usually pretty good, but the navigation app is bad. The first issue is that the volume is low. Even with the maximum volume, it is half as loud as the Google maps. The second issue is that sometimes it just stops telling you when to turn. Sometimes, I start the navigation and drive for half an hour, only to realize that the navigation just stopped. Going back to the app usually resumes it, but this unreliability made me cancel the subscription.

I really want to like this app. it would be such a great usable thing. but its been so glitchy. im writing this because i know that yall monitor the reviews and can maybe offer some assistance. the app shows a "failed to create route" message nearly every time i set a destination or select a round trip. 1 out of 20 attempts will work. Theres no pattern or rhyme/reason to it. i already paid for the premium package too so this is pretty annoying.

The round trip feature is fantastic for finding a ride, especially if you're in an unfamiliar area. The point-to-point nav is... acceptable. The search feature is complete garbage for US addresses and location names, but that's a limitation of Open Street Map. I assume that's used because the Google Maps API access is too expensive. I usually have to Google where I'm going, then navigate to the nearest city in Calimoto and drop a pin. Once that's done, though, it does a good job of routing.

Overall I think it's a great app. I use the free version and it takes you on some nice roads. Im giving four stars for the following reasons: 1. When the map is auto-adjusting during a ride its very stuttery. 2. The distance to the next turn will go from 0.3 miles to 450ft immediately causing me to miss a few turns. 3. I'd like to see a feature that gives a turn by turn text summary of the route overview instead of just lines on a map. Similar to other map services (waze, Google, etc...)

Overall, this is one of the best apps I've used for motorcycle navigation! I have one tissue that keeps me from giving it five stars. When doing turn-by-turn navigation, it does not display the street name that you're supposed to turn on. This makes it a little confusing especially when there are a bunch of streets next to each other. Other than that, great app!

I love the app.. the round trip planner consistentently finds awesome rides near my home, and I can set up short trip or ones that are many hours long. The main downside is navigating to specific addresses. The input/search for a specific address is very unintuitive and hard to use. So adding a specific address to my ride in the app doesn't usually work as I expect it to. Just a regular address search would be a huge improvement. (This is for U.S. addresses by the way)

I'm doing a multi day state to state cruise and this app definitely gives you great winding roads to take. Love the tracking feature. The only thing I don't like about the app is that it drains your battery extremely fast, if you don't have a way to charge your phone while riding be ready to have to stop somewhere to charge it. It drained my battery from 100% to dead in a little less than 3 hours.

I used to, at the beginning of every riding season, get state and county street maps, and at the end of each day try to remember every road that I had ridden that day and highlight them, so that the next time I could ride different roads. No more, Calimoto does all the work for me. I can plan ahead and map out routes, or I can let the app track me as I go, either way at the end of the day each road I have taken is saved and highlighted on my maps. Premium is worth the money, for all the maps.

I've enjoyed being led down new routes I did not know about previously and love the simplicity of selecting a direction and knowing I will basically have a great route plan created for me. However, there are frequently several paths that are merely three consecutive right turns when simply driving straight one block would be the equivalent so watch your plan as you will need to manually override sometimes. Next, it would be great if this worked with Android Auto so I could see the route on my Eye-Lights HUD

Develop an Automatic Pause feature like Rever, Riser,and Relive have. Then I'll gladly give 5 stars! I love Calimoto's other features. But I don't like having to remember to pause it when I take a rest stop or stop to eat. And I'll often forget to do so. So it often looks like I've been riding a LOT longer than I actually was. Which makes my statistics inaccurate. Thanks!

Not worth a $60 yearly price tag. I'm not even sure it would be worth a $60 one time cost. You see a lot of people complaining about the UX/UI, and for good reason, it simply takes far too many clicks to plan a route by hand. I used this for random trips around my area. It was a great feature, but if I ever wanted to plan a long trip I always switched back to Google maps. 60$ is highway robbery for the features you get, and it stinks of a decision made by a bunch of suits who don't even ride.

I was so excited about this great concept. Unfortunately it's let down by dire navigation (it's primary purpose!); leaving you lost, confused and permanently looking at your phone wondering what it's going to do next...A recipe for disaster on a motorbike. Navigation misses out lots of detail (for example all mini-roundabouts). Mileage countdown will show 9-miles til next direction, then won't update 'til 4 miles, then gives you 150-feet warning to turn. Will be seeking alternative. Shame.

Excellent app for the motorcycle. I love riding to new places and then saving the route. The 4 small windows can be changed to show mph, altitude, total drive time, average speed, etc. With the paid version, I love the statistics on lean angle and acceleration. My favorite feature is when the app first loads, seeing everywhere I've ridden all at once. Great app, I tell everyone I know to use Calimoto.

I have used it in southern Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and southern Indiana. It plans some really scenic, twisty, routes. Only two drawbacks: Especially on the super twisty option it can tend to look for a twistier option and bring you back to the road you were on, just a mile up the road. The other drawback is that I haven't found a way to display the street names other than on the map. Turn by turn directions are great, just don't know the name of the street in advance.

A few criticisms: Poor UX/UI, particularly when ending a ride. If I want to end a ride, I hit the back button. There's a HUGE "end ride" button but when I hit that the app presents a tiny little confirmation button. Unusable while actively riding. Then the app rotates to landscape mode for some reason. I don't want to save every ride, so stop defaulting to that option. Offline maps are a manual switch, not automatic, meaning the app doesn't pull from downloaded maps when exiting 4g coverage.

I don't really find this app that helpful. I tried using the create your own ride section and you have to zoom so close in to see road names. Also a couple locations easily found on Google Maps said could not be found. I might as well use Google Maps because I can do the same there and has all points of interest. The random route thing is nice though. I didn't pay for premium but I'm sure the curve algorithm is cool, too. Creating trips was a hassle everything else just was okay. Disappointed.

Don't buy. Save your money! 1. Purchased the yearly subscription, less than a month later the app says my membership expired. That's very nice when you try to hop on the bike and go. 2. The one time I actually used the app and chose the curvy option just added a bunch of turn left/right/right/left making me go around a block every couple of lights instead of just taking me to a curvy road or simply saying there weren't any curvy roads. 3. All the bugs in other reviews about.

The new interface is very messy, detracting from the user experience. Nice to see ongoing development, refinement, and added functionality, but not at the expense of ease of use and bugs. Dropped two stars for the interface, glitchy navigation, and poor rerouting. Dropped one more star for another buggy release. This time i get to redownload ALL the maps for the second time in a week, which takes all night.

Really neat concept and beyond the bugs and annoyances it fulfills its marketed purpose. But repeatedly crashing, unexplicably being unable to resume a route, annoying save and share dialogs, ignoring android's autorotate settings and many more reasons will prevent me from paying after the 2 week free trial. Largely because it feels like this app is still in beta testing and I don't agree with paying a developer to help test.

This app is really a rip off. You can only plan trips shorter then 2000 miles... Fine if you live in a small world... The interface is rather confusing to use. It chooses routes with little to no user input. And you can't drag and change your route. I bought the premium in hopes of using it for my 3 week ride around the southwest of the states and just haven't used it. It's poorly designed and glitches all the time on android. Google maps works way better and it's free. Waste of money!
