Best Motorcycle Apps for 2026

There is no single best motorcycle app. A rider who tours alone on Android needs something different from a crew that rides every Sunday. We looked at the most popular motorcycle GPS, route planning and safety apps and summarized what each does well, using each company's own website and app store listings. Apps are grouped by what they are best for, not ranked.

MotoRev is our app. We describe other apps from their own websites, help pages and app store listings, linked under Sources. Features and prices change, so confirm with each company before you buy. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it.

Quick Picks

Prices are US prices from each app store listing or company website, checked October 22, 2026. In-app prices vary by country and change often.

How We Chose

We included apps that are built for motorcycle riders, available in the US App Store or Google Play today, and actively updated. For each app we checked platforms, price, twisty or scenic routing, turn-by-turn navigation, offline maps, ride recording, group riding and safety features. Where a company does not say whether a feature exists, we leave it out rather than guess.

What About Google Maps and Waze?

Google Maps is free, excellent for getting somewhere fast, and supports offline maps, live location sharing, CarPlay and Android Auto. It can avoid tolls and highways but cannot prefer curvy roads, and its two-wheeler mode is only offered in limited locations, which as far as we could find does not include the US. Waze has a Motorcycle vehicle type in a set of countries, not worldwide. Google Maps vs MotoRev for motorcycle riding covers this in detail.

What Happened to EatSleepRIDE?

EatSleepRIDE, an early social and crash detection app for riders, is no longer listed in the US App Store or on Google Play as of October 2026, though its website is still online. MotoRev vs EatSleepRIDE has the details.
