Description
Velodroid is the simplest and most accurate GPS Bike Computer App on the market.Designed with the specific needs of cyclists in mind, Velodroid presents your ride information on clear and uncluttered screens. It can even provide in-ride statistics using a speech capability!
The Elevation Profiles shown for the Tour de France are pretty neat, right? Well now you can access the same data as the professional cyclists. Velodroid makes it possible, providing Elevation Profiles using the most accurate altitude data available. Velodroid is generally correct to within 1m, while a normal phone GPS can only promise accuracy to the nearest 30m. However, if you are concerned about conserving battery, Velodroid has a nifty power saving mode which will use the GPS data during the ride, and allow you to update to the more accurate data when you return.
Velodroid maps your ride over familiar Google Maps satellite imagery (hybrid satellite/map images) in real-time, allowing you to quickly determine your location and check your progress. The intuitive panning and zooming tools allow you to navigate during your ride and keep yourself on track.
Whether you are training for an event, or just cycling to keep fit, Velodroid has some great tools to lend a hand. The intervals timer allows you to set up a training regime, and Velodroid is the only app that lets you see your improving fitness over time with its innovative fitness chart.
Velodroid takes care of all the basic bicycle computer functions in style, providing you a large easy-to-read speedometer, and a broad set of route and personal best statistics in your choice of Metric or Imperial units. Velodroid can even keep the screen awake if you choose to use it as bike computer. All of the important route statistics are covered, including:
- Current Speed
- Trip Time
- Route Distance
- Average Speed
- Maximum Speed
- Current Elevation
- Maximum Elevation
- Elevation Gain
- Current Gradient
- Maximum Gradient
Sharing is well catered for, Velodroid can share your ride to any app that supports sharing, even letting you use an app like TweetDeck to handle both Facebook and Twitter posts at once. With Velodroid, your ride data is yours, it allows you to export and email your rides in a variety of formats including GPX, KML (for Google Earth), TCX and CSV. It also has integrated functionality for directly uploading your ride to a RideWithGPS.com account where you can access a treasure trove of post-ride analysis tools.

Great app! This is a great app for recording your walks, as well as your rides. Easy to use, nice clean design, I use it every day and look forward to more improvements. Highly recommended.

Needs a bit of polish Gradient only seems to work when i have data turned on which is rediculous and kills the battery. Otherwise it seems ok. Sometimes speed was wrong and altitude dropped 700 ft once. Interface needs better design as it looks poorly laid out. Looking forward to updates.

Galaxy Note & Moto Dext So far so good. Scrollable but doesn't fit to screen in landscape on Dext when in trip recording mode. So just the 4 stars for now. :-)

Easy to use, Well Designed This app is clearly designed by cyclists for cyclists. There are a number of apps designed for multiple sports, but if you want to track just cycling this is by far the best option out there. It tracks all the information you need and none of it you don't. Track fitness and such within the easy to use interface. Development team is very responsive, email them with you feedback and they really take it into consideration, creating an app that suits me the user more than any other app.

Easy and Effective Velodroid is my go to app for daily commutes. Its simple, clean UI makes it super easy to use but all the key info is accurately recorded. Nice one!
