Latest version is broken

Been using this wonderful app for a few years now without any issues. This new version seems to have lost the apps connection to the Motion Coprocessor. When I start a ride it "auto pauses" and instructs me to move to restart. Unfortunately no matter how fast I go it never restarts. I check whether my phone was malfunctioning but other apps using GPS and/or motion function fine. For now this app is just frustratingly wasting space on my phone!

Good app, almost excellent but...

The app is perfect for the rides. Forget about "premium" versions and "monthly subscription fees"; this one is free and has everything you need. I bought the Bluetooth cadence sensor and it works nice with the app (but you dont need to buy it, its something extra). My only complaint is that it crashes very often. No data lost, you restart the app and everything is ok, but the crashes are a bit annoying. It happened when I tried to delete past rides and when I was trying to start a ride but my Bluetooth was off. I turned it on, but the app didnt connect with the cadence sensor and then it crashed. Id like to see that the screen rotates with the phone and a graphic of the cadence vs speed or so. Keep going Topeak, it is a good app, it just need some improvements.

One star cause of update! 5 if it were still working right!

Love the app an use it all the time with my quad lock mount on my bicycle, was working just fine on my iphone6 until the latest update! PLEASE FIX!!

Well that didnt go so well...

Im glad they fixed the Facebook and Altitude issue but they broke the GPS and now the app wont show speed or record my ride...

Fix It

App wont display speed, hangs on login, wont save login info. Fix it and its 5 stars

Version update fail

Have the Ridecase for iphone5s - LOVED the panobike app - case is so so - i only use it when biking - hate the hard plastc and you cant lay it flat. Anyway - worked GREAT for a year - now it wont pick up speed- and autopause has to be disabled because it doesnt think Im moving - HOWEVER - the gps knows i am because it still moves me in map mode. Just doesnt show /record speed. Please dont install updates that make it worthless. Please fix - I liked it. Map My Bike will do for now - at least it knows Im moving. ALSO - am I the only one that really used to think you could go sideways with this app and it would change over ? Did I imagine that? It no longer works either (the topeak mount has that option so I think it did do that last year.

Bad update :/

This app was amazing I loved it! Which is why I give 3 stars. Loved how it tracked speed and altitude as well as map and keep time/distance. The update keeps causing the autopsies to kick in even when Im moving. Its rather obnoxious but turning auto pause off works ok. I just forget to restart when I get back to my ride. PLEASE FIX! :)

Used to work...

No speed. No stats. Please fix this.

Started working

I finally got it to delete and re-downloaded it, and now it seems to work fine. Ill know more after I get a good long ride on it.

Great, but...

This app is great. But how about connect and exchange data with Health App?

Not working on iPhone 6

When will this version work properly on iPhone 6?

Good but needs work.

The App id very useful but it hasnt been tracking my rides proper on iPhone 5 8.3. It seems to auto pause and then it doesnt start again. Has rendered the app nearly useless.

Consider another ride computer app

The app has been getting progressively worse and worse since I started using it with an iPhone 4. The biggest bug is that 95% of the time, it will go haywire at a random point in my trip and start recording my speed and or ride distance at an impossible rate. I rode 20 min. on one of my trips and it had me down for riding 6,000+ miles and changing about 6 miles of elevation in my time. I was riding at Mach3.5+ apparently according to the app. Synchronization with their ride computer just doesnt work, I cant get the app to sync with the computer as a display-only unit. Instructions are unclear on sync with the app, and brief almost to the point where I think the person writing it was being held at gunpoint to keep it as nondescriptive and generic as possible. I get the app is free, but when it requires about 100+ dollars of gear purchases to get it to work, then it is not longer an option to have the app be as useless as it is. Topeak needs to step up their game with this app.

Display on iPhone 5S

Ap seems OK, but bad choice for display graphics. The dark background makes it impossible to see in bright sunlight. Really impossible. Late afternoon, early evening, and of course at night is fine. Note: I have the retina display. Just added pano computer and it works flawlessly and does syncing and pause/resume flawlessly too. One problem with ap, it doesnt get the elevation right. Im at sea level the trip report has me starting at 1.4 miles high. Then I accumulated another 14 miles of elevation change. Other than that I like it.

Crashes

On iOS 9 betas and now the release version the app crashes. I liked this app as a casual bike rider. My wife and I would take a Sunday ride and it was nice to track our miles. I have a lot of Topeak accessories and my bike shop suggested the app. I hope they fix it. They need to keep the app simple and functional without a bunch of integration into every aspect of health tracking. All I want is speed / route map / distance.

Keeps crashing

Keeps crashing. Cant find a way to use as a HRM without bike app. No way to clarify security and privacy settings. Documentation a cartoon joke.

Crashes in IOS 9 (production release)

Title says it all - these guys didnt know IOS 9 was coming?

Crashing in iOS 9

Just as soon as I launch the app, it crashes even with the update that was released today. Too bad; I was really liking the display. If they can get it working and get landscape going oh and not be such a battery hog, that would be great!

latest version doesn’t fix crashing

iOS 9 and latest version of PanoBike still crashes out to the iOS home screen after displaying the main PanoBike screen for a split second. Please fix. This should have been fixed in beta testing for iOS 9. I guess no one at Topeak is paying attention… PanoBike was great when it was working.

Crashes

Loaded i0S on my 4S and the app comes up and then flashes the pano bike opening screen and then goes blank and then goes back to the home screen. Please fix the app it worked great before the iOS up grade. 9-21-2015 got new update and app still crashes on my 6+ and 4S. Please fix this I can not use you app.
