FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the practical stuff: what RideReady does, who it is for, how sync works, what Wrap Up and Return to Ready do, and what the free versus Pro versions include.
Is RideReady just another checklist app?
No. RideReady is built specifically for cycling ride prep and wrap up. Instead of rebuilding the same list before every ride, you create reusable setups for the way you actually ride: road, gravel, trainer, race day, travel, or a quick spin from home. After the ride, Wrap Up turns the gear you used into a short care list.
Why not just use Notes or Reminders?
Because ride prep is more than a list. RideReady helps you move through your setup quickly, see your progress as you go, and reuse different setups for different kinds of rides. Notes can store gear ideas. RideReady is built for the pre-ride routine itself.
What kinds of rides is RideReady for?
RideReady works for road rides, gravel rides, indoor trainer sessions, race day, travel, and everyday spins from home. If your gear changes depending on the ride, RideReady helps keep that routine dialed.
Does RideReady work offline?
Yes. RideReady works offline, so your ride setups and checklists are available whenever you need them.
Does RideReady sync across devices?
Yes, if you enable iCloud sync. Your data syncs privately through your own iCloud account.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There’s no signup, no login, and no email required.
Is RideReady free?
Yes. RideReady is free to download and includes unlimited ride setups, the full prep and Wrap Up workflow, and an Item Library for up to 3 active gear items.
What does RideReady Pro unlock?
RideReady Pro unlocks an unlimited Item Library (free covers 3 active gear items) and Return to Ready prompts, which suggest opening Wrap Up when you return near your ride start. It is a one-time purchase of $6.99, not a subscription.
What is Wrap Up?
Wrap Up is RideReady's post-ride care list. When a ride ends, it is built from the gear you actually used and covers what to charge, clean, dry, store, or inspect, so everything is ready for the next ride. Anything left unfinished is surfaced again at your next pre-ride prep.
What is the Item Library?
The Item Library is where your gear lives in RideReady. Save each item once, with a photo or an icon and the care it needs, then reuse it across all your ride setups. The free app covers up to 3 active items; Pro makes it unlimited.
Is RideReady a subscription?
No. RideReady is free, and RideReady Pro is a single one-time purchase of $6.99. Nothing renews and there is no recurring charge.
Does RideReady track my location?
Only if you turn on Return to Ready, an optional Pro feature that is off by default. It uses your location while a ride is in progress to notice when you return near where the ride started, so it can suggest opening Wrap Up. It records no route and stores no coordinates, and it can be turned off at any time. Nothing else in the app uses location.
Does RideReady collect personal data?
No personal data is collected. Your ride templates, gear items, checklist items, and ride history stay on your device or in your private iCloud account if sync is enabled. If you enable Return to Ready, location is used on your device only, to notice your return near the ride start; no route or coordinates are stored or sent. RideReady does use anonymous analytics and crash reporting to improve app quality.
