It's fine for what it does, which is very little. It shows some pretty pictures as you bike, records some basic stats that are a bit wonky, and can share the rides to Strava (but won't share them after the fact -- only if you enable that first). It's way too easy to delete your rides by swiping left and there is no undo. As others have mentioned, the scenery switches frequently and doesn't just follow a real route. The scenery loops are short and repeat. Easy to connect and get started.

The idea is nice, but what you actually get is extremely limited. It is too expensive beyond the trial. Recorded videos switch from scene to scene instead of just following the route and recordings are often not long enough (causing a loop). Time and other stats aren't accurate plus there are no good ways to share stats with third parties other than Strava (which I don't use). Lastly, I've witnessed various traffic infractions by the camera (like running a red light), which sets a bad example.

I really don't care about the visuals; I just want to be able to exercise and upload results to Strava. The app ends my workout as soon as I switch to another app (Polar Beat, to monitor heart rate). The old Nautilus Trainer app was way better than this, and it's not available any more - probably because they're hunting for subscription income. Extremely disappointing.
