The cycling app that time forgot (or did it?)
Ever notice how some apps from 2010 are still kicking around like that old bike in your garage that somehow still works? iBiker is one of them. Been tracking rides since before Strava was cool, back when people actually bought GPS units for their handlebars.
Found myself testing it after my usual cycling app crashed mid-century ride and lost everything. Downloaded iBiker thinking it'd be another generic fitness tracker. Two weeks later, I'm conflicted. This app is simultaneously brilliant and infuriating, like a vintage bike with modern components that don't quite mesh.
My two-week trial by fire (and rain)
Day one started rough. The app demanded I create an account before I could even look at the interface. Fine, whatever. Then came the kicker - you get exactly 10 minutes to test all features before it cuts off your sensors. Ten. Minutes. That's barely enough time to get out of my neighborhood.
Set up my Wahoo cadence sensor and Garmin heart rate monitor. Both connected instantly, which surprised me. The dashboard customization? Actually incredible. Spent 20 minutes (after buying the subscription out of frustration) arranging exactly what data I wanted where. Speed, cadence, heart rate zones, elevation - all configurable in ways Strava users can only dream about.
First real ride was a 30-miler through rolling hills. Voice coaching kicked in every mile, calling out my stats without me touching the phone. Pretty sweet until it started announcing my pathetic climbing pace to everyone at the coffee stop because I forgot to pause it. The GPS tracking worked flawlessly though - no weird straight lines through buildings like some apps do.
Week two brought rain and indoor training. Here's where iBiker surprised me again. The indoor cycling mode actually understands that cadence sensors exist. Unlike Strava's indoor mode (which is basically a timer), iBiker gave me real-time power estimates based on my cadence and resistance settings. Not perfect, but way better than nothing.
Then the bugs appeared. Twice, the app forgot I had a paid subscription mid-ride and killed my sensor connections. Had to stop, force quit, and restart. The forums suggest this has been happening since 2020. The developers respond to complaints, sure, but responses don't fix bugs.
Best moment? When I lost my phone after a ride and customer support (actual human named Chris) helped me recover 4 years of ride data from my old account with a defunct email. Worst moment? Discovering they changed lifetime subscriptions to require additional payments for Apple Watch features. That's just dirty.
The pros and cons
Pros
Dashboard customization beats every other app
Voice coaching doesn't need screen interaction
Sensor connectivity (when it works) is instant
Real humans in customer support
Indoor mode understands cadence sensors
Heart rate zone training is genuinely useful
Cons
10-minute trial is insulting
Subscription bugs that lose connection mid-ride
Requires account creation before you can even browse
Lifetime members getting charged for "new" features
Interface looks like it's from 2015
Some features work on iPhone but not iPad (why?)

What Reddit won't tell you
Searched everywhere for current iBiker discussions. Know what I found? Crickets. The app that once competed with Strava has basically disappeared from cycling forums. When it does come up, it's usually someone asking "is this still around?"
The App Store reviews tell a different story. Recent ones are savage. People who paid for lifetime subscriptions are furious about the Apple Watch paywall. One guy claims his subscription randomly expires mid-ride despite auto-renewal being on. Another says the app shows top speeds of 611 km/h (that'd be one hell of a descent).
Found an old MacRumors thread where users praised the customization options. That was 2018. Nobody's updated it since.
But here's what's weird - the long-term users absolutely love it. Four-year veterans defending it like it's their local bike shop. They say once you get past the quirks, nothing else gives you this much control over your data display.
The cycling subreddits have moved on though. It's all Strava, Zwift, and whatever Garmin just released. iBiker gets mentioned occasionally as "that app I used to use before Strava."
My honest take
Here's the thing about iBiker - it's like that friend who peaked in college but still has moments of brilliance. The core functionality, especially the customizable dashboard and sensor integration, remains genuinely excellent. For serious cyclists who care more about data than social kudos, it's actually better than Strava in many ways.
But that 10-minute trial? Unforgivable in 2025. The subscription bugs? Inexcusable for a paid app. And changing the rules for lifetime subscribers? That's how you kill trust.
Would I recommend it? Only to specific people. If you're a data nerd who wants complete control over your display and doesn't care about social features, maybe. If you're already deep in the Apple Health ecosystem and want solid integration, possibly. Everyone else? Just get Strava or try the free version of Cyclemeter.
I'm keeping it for now, mainly because I already paid and the dashboard really is that good. But if they pull another lifetime subscription switcheroo or if those connection bugs get worse, I'm out. Sometimes being first doesn't mean being best.
