Cyclemeter is the go-to biking companion for many Apple Watch users. The app pairs with an iPhone or iPad to supply users with statistics about their current biking session, including ride duration, calories spent, distance, and more. For those speed demons, it can also function as a speedometer to track your speed while riding and supply data on how long you were cruising at certain speeds. It also can set laps to see how fast you hit your targets, making it useful for interval training.
The stats gathered by the app are shown on the Apple Watch’s screen and can be swiped through to steer pages of additional info. If you don’t want to look down at your device, you can use the built-in Siri functionality to give voice commands and get a response back. The app can also read incoming text messages and alerts to users. Additionally, the app’s location-sharing functionality lets you keep your friends and family up to date on where you are.
With an iPhone nearby, the app can utilize the smartphone’s barometric altimeter to measure ascent and descent. This app also has functions for running and skiing, among other activities. However, if you want to utilize the live map tracking, you must access it via the iPhone app. The app comes with a seven-day free trial, but after that, you must pay a subscription fee to access everything Cyclemeter offers.
