Nice App!

Heard about this app when I ordered my Road ID wrist band. When I mountain bike alone, its a really nice security blanket as my wife gets notified of my start and finish, can track my progress, and will receive automatic notification if I am unexpectedly stationary for more than 5 minutes. My hope is that in the future the app will become more accurate on the distance measurement. The trail I ride is listed as 11.4 miles. My Cateye bike computer records it as 11.5 miles, but the Road ID app records is as 9.5 miles. Not a big deal, but hopefully will become closer to real distance with future upgrades.

Update 9/8/2015. I checked with the company and was informed via email that the latest version should resolve the mileage inaccuracies. Its actually worse now. The same trail where I ride that is 11.4 miles is now recorded by the app as 7.81 miles. So...still not a useful tool for distance tracking in a mountain biking environment, but I still use it all the time to let my wife know I am alive and well. I appreciate the app since it is completely FREE!
