I've been biking around this fall and I'm excited for the new improvements! It made it so much easier to get around safely when I moved to a new city and wasn't sure where to go!

I am super grateful to have found Pointz! I love using my bike to get around town and I just moved to a new city. It is truly shocking where some of the traditional mapping routes will take you...like really busy roads and dangerous interesections. Pointz does a fantastic job of making your bike ride both safe and efficient, and spending way more time on bike paths and quiet neighborhood streets. I'm really excited to use the new release and start customizing my routes around town and contributing to the bike and scooter community!

@will_stabler It is quite shocking to see that existing mapping apps don't take into account bikeways or residential side streets. Thank you for the support!

I believe in the work Pointz is doing and am happy to be part of this amazing team! Pointz is a great idea that fills a need in the mapping and transportation space. Bike safety is an issue and I'm passionate about developing a tool to make biking, as a great alternative mode of transportation, safer. I'm impressed with the concept and the brilliant team. The app won me over with their rating smileys. :) I'm excited for this release and new features to come! I hope you come along for the ride with us.

I absolutely love the new update! I’ve been using the PointZ for a while and it’s the best biking navigation app out there. I love the new option to choose a balanced ride for when you want to get there quickly but safety is still a priority. Great work Maggie and Trisha, your passion and expertise within the biking community really shines through this app.

I haven't been biking much recently, but I love Pointz for running, actually. My home town is fairly small, but as a coastal tourist town with lots of construction, things can get messy. It's awesome to see routes through neighborhoods that avoid big intersections and other busy road sections, which is something I can't get on Strava or Runkeeper, or Google Maps. I look forward to using it when I'm traveling, so I can find a safe route to run from my hotel.

Got the app and earned my first 10 Pointz!! Still on the road but I will be back to NYC in a week. Can't wait to navigate the city lanes with this app. What an awesome idea! Thanks for making it informative and safer for all of us bikers.
