Does anyone know if there are any free cycling apps out there? I have looked at Strava and it seems OK but after a 30 day trial they want £3.99 per month. (Apologies if this has been asked before...I'm new here.)

Endomondo, Sports-Tracker or as above.
I use the free Strava and just don't click onthe Premium offers.

I found one that looks promising. Map My Ride. I'll try it out tomorrow.

Many thanks for the information. I have downloaded this and will experiment during the week. (I have a windows phone so Strava does not work :sad: )

Another Windows Phone user here. Have used Endomondo, Sports Tracker and Microsoft Health and they are all pretty reasonable. Have settled on Endomondo as the one I use as it seems to have a good range of options in the free version and a decent interface.

I believe there are apps in WinPho that allow you to upload the results to Strava - but have never used them or it.

As others have mentioned, Strava basic is free and the 3.99 is for premium. Actually according to my app, it wants to charge me 4.49 for premium

It depends on what you want, but basic has lots of features and there is no need to upgrade if you don't want to.

As others have said, Strava is free, it will continue working after the month.

If you pay £3.99 extra it unlocks the premium features but Ive never bothered with that side of it as seems pricey for what it is.
 
Strava uses the freemium model; that is, it offers some features for free, and others you have to pay for. I would think this would apply for almost every cycling app. In fact, I wouldn't use one that didn't have a revenue stream. It's going to run out of money eventually, or the developer will drop support when he needs to get paid.

Since Strava has found that people will pay per month the sort of amount that most other apps charge as a once only fee for the pro/ad free version, all the other bicycling apps do much the same. Endomondo and RWGPS both have a monthly subscription service.
