Cyclemeter is the most advanced application for cyclists, transforming your iPhone into a powerful fitness computer. Designed specifically for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and iCloud, Cyclemeter offers a comprehensive suite of features including maps, graphs, splits, intervals, laps, announcements, zones, and training plans. This app is obsessively complete, as noted by Wired, and records a wealth of data, according to Macworld, all within a clean and easy-to-use interface praised by The New York Times.
Cyclemeter tracks a wide range of activities, including cycling, running, walking, hiking, skiing, and kayaking. The app’s stopwatch interface allows users to swipe through pages of stats, maps, and graphs, all of which are fully configurable to suit individual preferences. Workouts can be analyzed on an iPad, with data automatically synced via iCloud, ensuring seamless access to the latest information.
Security and privacy are central to Cyclemeter. All workout data is stored securely on your iPhone, taking up minimal space despite storing years of activity. No usernames or passwords are required, and sharing workout data is entirely optional, whether through email, Strava, MyFitnessPal, or Twitter. Live tracking is available but only shared with friends you invite, and iCloud backups are encrypted for additional security.
Cyclemeter supports extensive tracking capabilities, including heart rate, bike speed, bike cadence, bike power, step cadence, and steps. The app utilizes your iPhone’s barometric altimeter to measure ascent and descent, automatically detects stops, and integrates terrain and traffic maps from Google Maps. Temperature and weather conditions are recorded automatically, adding another layer of detail to your workout analysis.
Voice-enabled features enhance the user experience, with Siri integration allowing you to start, stop, lap, and request statistics during your workout. The app offers hundreds of configurable announcements, delivering real-time updates on distance, time, speed, elevation, and heart rate at specified intervals or on demand.
Free live-tracking and messaging features enable you to share your location, path, and statistics with family and friends, with messages spoken to you via text-to-speech. Sharing options extend to an online Workout Explorer, email, Twitter, Strava, and MyFitnessPal. Cyclemeter also integrates with HealthKit for seamless export and import of workouts, heart rate, and biometric data, and supports file formats like GPX, TCX, FIT, KML, and CSV for data management.
For those focused on training, Cyclemeter offers an in-depth analysis of split, interval, and zone performance. The app includes configurable interval training, zones, and targets, allowing you to compete against previous workouts along the same route. Training plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances are included, with the option to design your plans.
Apple Watch integration provides additional convenience, enabling you to start, stop, lap, and finish a workout directly from your wrist. The watch interface includes beautifully designed gauge pages with zones, offering a visually appealing way to monitor your performance.
Cyclemeter offers a free version with core features and reliable performance, with an option to upgrade to Elite for advanced capabilities. The Elite version includes a 7-day free trial, with subscription management available through your iTunes account settings.
