The complete product story followsTHE CURRENT APP
Four places. One complete ride.
Every part of VeloForth serves the same ride: choose the road, prepare the bike, record what happened, and add the context GPS cannot know.
Map & Record
Plan and guide the road ahead.
Search, tap the map, or add ordered stops. Choose a rider-first route style, follow turn-by-turn maneuvers with optional local voice and haptic cues, or import GPX with total climb parsed before you roll.
- Nine route styles + turn-by-turn guidance
- Online and onboard offline routing
- GPX climb parsing, import, and bulk export
Garage
Keep every bike ready.
Store each bicycle’s setup, mileage, notes, and service targets. Track individual components by distance, ride time, or completed rides.
- Active-bike selection
- Tyres, suspension, chain care
- Component service counters
Statistics
See the work add up.
Search and filter your ride library by name, bike, year, or month. Rename rides, compare repeat-route speeds, review evidence-led local coaching, and create rider cutout share cards.
- Search, filters, and same-route speed insights
- Post-ride check-ins and private coaching
- Rider cutout share cards and bulk GPX export
Subscription
Core access, clearly separated.

Separate add-onRIDE HORIZON
Plan the ride around your return.
Choose where and when you need to be back, then set the margins that matter. Ride Horizon uses current conditions and local ride history to generate routing-validated loops around your battery, daylight, familiarity, bicycle, and offline-coverage preferences.
ACCESS MODELPermanent one-time add-onFor VeloForth Premium members. Google Play supplies the current local price.

BE BACK BY20:00Return-first planning
FULL LOOPRouting validatedBefore it is displayed
Where and when
Choose a return destination and the time you need to be back.
Useful reserves
Set phone-battery and daylight reserves, with optional water carried and a preferred bicycle.
Familiar or fresh
Choose Known, Balanced, or Explore to shape how familiar the loop should feel.
Inside your downloads
Optionally keep the full loop inside completed map and routing coverage.
Routing-validated
Every displayed loop is checked by the routing engine before you choose it.
ONE CONTINUOUS RHYTHM
Plan it. Ride it. Reflect on it.
VeloForth carries your intention through the whole ride instead of guessing purpose from speed or treating private coaching as a cloud service.
- Plan
Shape the ride
Build a route with ordered stops, pick a style, import GPX with parsed climb totals, pin a favourite saved route, or use Ride Horizon to fit a routing-validated loop to the time available.
- Prepare
Check before leaving
Review weather, daylight, battery, offline coverage, water guidance, and bicycle readiness. Set an intention, target, effort, and optional feeling.
- Ride
Record with guidance
Follow turn-by-turn maneuvers, ETA, and optional offline speech or vibration cues in portrait or a compact landscape card. Record with the screen locked, rejoin an imported GPX, or discard an unwanted recording on stop.
- Reflect
Add what GPS cannot know
Record perceived effort, plan comparison, and finish quality before local coaching and same-route repeat speed insights are generated—then compose a rider cutout share card or plan the track again.
INCLUDED RIDE TOOLS
Useful before, during, and after.
Six focused tools included in the current Android app, working from your own routes, rides, places, and preferences. Ride Horizon is presented separately above.
Turn-by-turn guidance
Follow live maneuvers, turn distance, remaining distance, and ETA on Mapbox cycling routes, with optional offline Android speech, haptic vibration cues, master mute, and a compact landscape card.
Works offline inside downloaded routing coverageRoad Memory
Build a clearable, on-device memory of roads ridden. Add comfort or surface feedback and tell planning whether to favour familiar roads or explore.
Private by design; no cloud road profileMy Routes
Pin favourite routes to the top, keep immutable future plans, and save completed tracks to ride or plan again for a future date. Rename, load, reverse, prepare, start, reschedule, or delete from one library.
Repeat rides unlock same-route speed insightsOpen route files
Import a GPX route with automatic <ele> climb parsing, save or share the loaded route, or single- and bulk-export completed rides. If you drift from imported GPX, VeloForth can route back to the nearest useful point.
Save to phone or share via Android’s share sheetPersonal places
Save favourite cafés, water taps, repair shops, scenic viewpoints, dangerous junctions, and meeting points. Personal places and recent destinations remain searchable offline.
Online place results still need a validated connectionQuiet notifications
Opt into planned-ride, long-ride fuel and hydration, insight, record, weekly, goal, recovery, and maintenance prompts. Each category remains under your control.
The active-ride notice is required for locked-screen recordingSMART ROUTING
Choose the ride, not just the arrival.
Every style works from real cycling-route candidates and bounded detours. Where the data cannot support a promise, VeloForth says so.

OFFLINE MAPS + ROUTING
Download the road ahead.
VeloForth treats map tiles and onboard routing tiles as separate resources, because seeing the map and calculating a road route are not the same thing.
MapReady
RoutingReady
Online placesConnection required
Choose coverage
Download around the current route with a 2–15 km corridor, or select a nearby area with a 1–25 km radius.
Wait for both
Map and routing resources report progress separately. A region is ready only when the resources you need complete.
Ride without signal
Display downloaded maps, calculate onboard bicycle routes, and keep turn-by-turn maneuvers, ETA, local voice prompts, and in-coverage rerouting working when both endpoints sit inside completed routing coverage.
Stay honest
Missing data never becomes a straight-line road route. VeloForth keeps the last valid route and explains what is unavailable.
GARAGE + MAINTENANCEEvery setup.
Every setup.
Every service.
Choose the bicycle you are riding, keep the setup you want to return to, and let completed rides advance the counters that matter.
ACTIVE BICYCLEWeekend road bikeODOMETER2,486 km
Chain inspection · 74% of interval
Bicycle setup
Name, colour, tyre size and pressure in PSI or bar, front and rear suspension, chain wax or lube, mileage, and notes.
Bike-level service
Set a due date, an odometer target, or both, and keep one bicycle active for the next ride.
Component care
Track named components by distance, ride time, or ride count, with notes and installed counters.
Service events
Mark a component inspected, serviced, or replaced to reset its counter without rewriting the bicycle’s ride history.
STATISTICS + PRIVATE COACHING
The numbers, with the missing context added.
GPS records what happened. Your check-in explains how it felt. VeloForth keeps both together and waits for evidence before calling a pattern a trend.
Ride facts & search
Distance, ride time, speed, elevation, ascent, descent, route map, and linked bicycle—searchable by ride or bike and filterable by bicycle, year, and month.
Rider context
Required RPE, plan comparison, finish quality, optional context tags and notes, plus editable pre-ride intent and renameable completed rides.
Optional summaries
Manually enter heart rate, cadence, power, zone time, work, or training-stress summaries from another device.
Local analysis & repeats
Evidence, confidence, ride classification, cautious insights, same-route repeat speed comparisons, coaching actions, rolling progress, and personal records.
Goals and review
Set weekly distance and cycling-time goals, browse yearly totals, and compare 7-, 28-, and Premium 84-day progress.
Share, plan & export
Compose Post and Story share cards with on-device rider cutout overlays, plan a completed track again for a future date, or export single and bulk GPX files.
Free access
Core ride facts, immediate ride insights, up to 28 days of rolling progress, and three personal records remain visible. Premium adds the complete record history and 84-day trend.
WHAT THE CURRENT APP DOES — AND DOESN’T
Clear limits are part of the product.
These boundaries replace older or broader-sounding claims. They are the practical edges of the current app.
No account or ride cloud
The current app has no VeloForth login, developer app backend, cloud ride library, advertising profile, or developer-operated analytics service.
Offline search has a limit
Saved places and recent destinations work offline. New Mapbox place results do not: licensed offline POI search is not present.
Route labels are transparent
Gravel, road, hilly, flat, quiet, and low-traffic choices rank available cycling alternatives; they do not guarantee surface, elevation, or live traffic conditions.
No sensor sync
External heart-rate, cadence, power, zone, work, and stress figures are optional summaries you type in—not a paired sensor stream or fabricated time series.
Directions guide; tracks stay tracks
Mapbox directions routes provide live turn-by-turn maneuvers, ETA, and local voice or haptic cues. Imported GPX files and saved recorded tracks stay honest breadcrumb tracks without invented turn instructions.
Online services are specific
Mapbox provides online maps, search, routing, downloads, and optional share-card backdrops; Open-Meteo provides ride-preparation weather; Google Play handles billing.
THE USEFUL DETAILS
Before you set off.
Is Ride Horizon included with Premium?
No. Ride Horizon is a separate, permanent one-time add-on for Premium members. Google Play shows the current local price, and ownership remains permanently with your Google account—even if Premium lapses and is later renewed.
What works after the three free rides are used?
Your saved history, search and filters, bicycles, pinned routes, places, offline regions, settings, GPX exports, and existing analysis remain available. Starting a fourth ride recording requires Premium.
Can VeloForth route and guide me completely offline?
Yes, when completed routing data covers both route endpoints. Downloaded map data draws the map; downloaded routing data calculates, guides, and reroutes the bicycle route with turn-by-turn maneuvers, ETA, haptic cues, and installed offline Android speech.
Does VeloForth analyse my rides or photos in the cloud?
No configured external analysis service receives your ride library or photos. Check-ins, metrics, same-route speed insights, coaching actions, trends, records, Road Memory, and rider cutout share cards are all processed on the device.
Can I import GPX routes and export my ride history?
Yes. Import GPX files with <ele> elevation tags parsed to preview total climb, save or share any loaded route or completed ride, or bulk-export your completed rides together as individual GPX files.
Can I choose metric or imperial units, dark mode, or landscape recording?
Yes. VeloForth supports both measurement systems, independent app and map themes, edge-to-edge Android layouts, and portrait or landscape recording with a compact right-side guidance panel.
