User Reviews for Komoot: Route Planner & GPS

Poor UI design

I find it very hard to mark out easy routes. When I set a start point on the map it takes me back one page to click on the destination input box, which takes me to yet another page before finally going back to the map. When returning to the map, my start point is not displayed and it appears to have forgotten it. It hasn’t but it feels that way. The biggest text is “Plan New Route” which reinforces the feeling that I’ve lost my starting point. At the top of the page in smaller print is the text “Tap the map to add a point”.I guess this structure is useful if you have no idea where you are going, only know places of interest, etc. When I want to follow a specific route with the goal of creating a route for my bike computer, the app often redraws the route to a shorter path which is not what I wasn’t. Maybe this isn’t the right app for what I want, I get that. But it shouldn’t be so difficult to do something easy.

Gets me there but needs work

Been using the app for a few years now and it directs me to the best route for biking just fine, for the most part. Directions may not always be the best (sending me down a pedestrian walkway instead of a road) but it gets the job done. But PLEASE remove all of the confirmation notifications when I'm trying to delete a route or trip once a ride is over. I use the app to get me from point A to point B and it's incredibly annoying to confirm over and over that I don't need to save what I just did EVERY time. If I mistakenly delete what I think is an important route, was it really that important? The app is above Google maps for bike routes but the "extras" weigh it down and muddy the experience.

A must-have app!

We were on a bike & boat cycling trip on the Danube River last summer/autumn. Although we received daily paper route maps, I had also downloaded Komoot route maps. We used the Komoot map routes and never got lost or made a wrong turn. When we met with other riders at the end of the day, they expressed frustrations at missing turns and getting lost. Subsequently, we had a number of riders who followed us to avoid getting lost. The Komoot app was really easy to use and many of the other riders downloaded the app and let me know how much it improved their bike touring experience. We continued using Komoot on our ride around Lake Constance and our ride across Austria as part of our overall bike tour. While there are other similar apps, this one doesn’t require subscriptions and is really easy to use. I can’t imagine bike touring without Komoot!

Great Combo with Elemnt Bolt

Used it twice for two 75km rides in Denmark, including sections of single track, as well as 32km MTB ride through single track. At first, it seemed to simple when compared to RideWithGPS. My first impression was “this looks too basic”. Then after playing with it.. I realized its UI didn’t need a lot of fuss. It just works. Planning a route just involves clicking waypoint/breadcrumbs along the map. The MTB area I go has some complex “Figure 8” that crosses back over the existing route already ridden! I learned in these maze-like paths, I simply needed to add more waypoints/breadcrumbs to prevent the route from recalculating to an alternate route. Easy. Finding Komoot hard to fault as a route planner for the Elemnt Bolt. One feature I would like is the ability to edit a planned route or a tour (logged ride) in the same way. For example:In a planned route, I can edit the route, but I can’t add photos or journal the ride. On a tour that I have ridden, I can add photos and notes to journal my ride... but I can’t edit the route. Of course that makes sense if you want to track your exact workout/trip. But I like sharing routes with others.. and I don’t think they need to see that I rode 300m off route to go to the bathroom, or I decided to adventure off trail to a neighboring village which isn’t on the course. Loving the app! Works great with the Bolt. Highly recommended!

Unsafe routing for bikes

Usually I use ride with gps for offline bike route planning, but I'll be going on a long tour and won't have access to a computer so I thought I'd try Komoot for bike route planning on the go. So far I've found it does not choose bike friendly roads, in fact it routed me on a busy road with two lanes of traffic in each direction, no shoulder, and not even any sidewalks. Their help suggested I could improve routing by editing osm map data, which I did for this street, but I found even after my changes, Komoot continues to route on this unsafe road. I contacted support since even Google maps provides better bike-safe routing for this particular route and asked for an explanation, since as an app specializing in bike routing I would expect they'd do better. Their response: "Hi, our system is always looking for the fastest connection between your waypoints, allowed for the chosen sport. You can then customize this suggestion. On your PC you can display the Open Cycle Map to plan with cycle paths. " So, no apology for risking my life on a dangerous road or recognition that the fastest route between two points may not be desirable for a bike. Very disappointing, especially since I already paid for their maps.

Lord of men

I can not say enough about this app. Truly first class for cycle touring. I have been using it for about four months on a tour through Europe and it has been amazing. It has really been our only go to map for over five thousand kilometers. It has kept us on the cycling safe roads and helped us find sights. It also has a great feature that lets you divide up a tour into days and figures the your accommodation into the equation. It also will even show the weather and at what point you will have rain on the tour. I also like how the cycling specific map shows the national routes highlighted. It really helped navigate the Rhine and Rhône cylcle routes. I was at first worried that it would take us onto dangerous roads but now I don’t even worry. It has been 100% safe. We have run into a few temporary closures but have been able to route the way around. We have also been amazed on some of the trails it has put us on, beautiful forest trails, deserted farm roads, really just lovely finds. Don’t hesitate to get it and get the premium version if you are touring or want to see the national cycle routes.

Since phones did GPS this is the app I was looking for for

I have tried more map/guidance/record where you’re going programs that I can count in the last 15 years and I wanted a program that was flexible enough to do different types of sports that was accurate that was able to on the fly building route by recording what I’m doing at the moment as well as all the basic features that should be built into a program that is able to build a route in a variety of techniques that the program supports and I’ll be honest with you this program is way over my head in that it does way more than I needed to do having said that it’s the first program that is able to do what I wanted to do that is for the level that I’m working it is easy to find those features and it executes them wonderfully I am most excited about their version of building a route on the fly by recording what’s going on I’ve tried a lot of apps that have said they did it but there was always a problem. It finally works and works well I couldn’t be happier

Outdoor minded? Need to have app

I use this app for 2 purposes1. Mountain biking: I can discover local trails as well as plan my own tours. Komoot works on Garmin edge bike GPS which means that whenever I plan a route on the Mac or iPad it’s automatically there on my bike GPS (through the connection with the phone, or as offline route if you decide to download it - all without the need to connect anything physically). They also now added an e-bike specific toggle. I have both an enduro MTB (Canyon Strive) and an electric MTB (Specialized Turbo Levo) so this is great.2. Hiking: as a family we like to hike, and I like the thought of getting the kids to become used to being outside and liking the outdoors. Through COVID it’s been a savior. I can easily research trails in different locations and can quickly come up with say a 2 hour hike that will have some cool highlights like a river crossing bridge or other. It let’s you filter by difficulty level and time for the hike, so choosing becomes easy. It has information on elevation and the premium subscription let’s me see weather forecast for the chosen trail, which is awesome!Overall this is trail discovery, planning and navigation at its best

Perfect for bike touring

Pros: it works well. The reason I downloaded is for its voice navigation along a user defined route ... the only app I’ve found that does so without an annual subscription. Most can only navigate a route it calculates. The mapping tool online works well and is easy to use. Save a created route and it automatically becomes available in the mobile app. Routes created elsewhere can be imported and edited.Cons: when importing a gpx route, it can get altered by Komoot if the route goes someplace not on Open Street Maps, which Komoot uses. The good news is you can edit Open Street maps yourself to correct the map. Nitpicking: voice navigation below a mile is given in feet instead of tenths of a mile. Example: 3900 feet instead of .8 miles.

Needs vast improvements

I heard about this app through a Facebook group recommendation. I wanted to use it for cycle touring. It’s got a good start, but here’s where it failed me. I use Google maps bicycle feature to get a rough idea of safer routes, then use Ride With GPS to make modifications and zoom in for safer roads. This would be a really good alternative, but the map detail is VERY vague. There are no state line divisions for the US and a lot of roads and highways aren’t labeled even on full zoom. That makes it extremely hard to find obscure start and finish points. For example... I tried to make a route across my state from corner to corner and the longest diagonal route. I couldn’t find the state lines on either side and finding the furthest roads to the very tips of those corners was almost impossible. I had to open Google Maps to compare it and find the roads I was looking for. I also compared the route to the Google Map bicycle route with the same exact start and end, and Google chose much safer roads. In the Southern USA, drivers do not respect cyclist and cycling laws, and the laws aren’t enforced, so SAFETY FIRST. It’s a handy map system, but it needs work. I’d rather put the time and effort into modifying my route with a better marked map that also allows me to view satellite imagery so I can zoom in and find large shouldered highways and back roads.
