Thanks to Darren Alff for using our bike repair app

Just a quick shoutout to Darren Alff of Bicycle Touring Pro who yesterday mentioned our app on his blog. What a great endorcement! Thank you Darren

“Just imagine. You’re out on a bike ride and you get a flat tire. What do you do? If you are unfamiliar with how to install a new tube or patch the existing one, the Bike Doctor is there to save the day! Just pull out your iPhone or iPod touch, open the Bike Doctor application, and when the picture of a bike shows up on the screen just hit the part of the bike that you are having troubles with… and BAM! – the Bike Doctor will tell you everything you need to know in order to fix your flat tire.”

Bicycle Touring Pro: Bike Doctor App

Dreaming of version 2

It’s early days still for the Bike Doctor iPhone app but we’re already dreaming of version 2.

The number 1 most requested feature so far is to port the App over to the Android. Therefore if you are an Android developer please do get in touch!

Here’s some more ideas we’ve been given or were working on:

  • Bike safety check that you can do before every ride
  • A monthly bike maintenance schedule that can automatically be added to your calendar/push notifications
  • More repairs
  • More roadie repairs – Staring with taping the handlebars and brake replacement
  • An iPad version?
  • Quiz that helps you discover the problem with your bike
  • “On the road” repair tips if you don’t have all your tools with you
  • Way of keeping track of the maintenance you have done
  • More languages (German, Chinese, Greek etc..)
