Let’s be honest, if you ride a motorcycle, your phone is basically part of your setup. From tracking rides to finding better routes, there’s an app for everything.

So I’ve rounded up 10 of the best motorcycle apps for iOS and Android to help you ride smarter, smoother, and with way less hassle.

Starting us off is OS Maps, this is an online mapping tool from Ordnance Survey, designed for outdoor navigation and route planning, which you can use for exploring, green laning and scenic routing. Riders rely on the app to verify right-of-way status for green lanes, byways and UCRs. You are able to download the routes and use them offline and without reception, which is useful as you’ll probably be tackling some remote areas where the signal is likely unreliable. 

Another one to throw into the mix that is well worth having is Kurviger, again, built specifically for motorcyclists, it helps you find the most enjoyable roads instead of just the fastest route. You can also share your experiences and connect with other riders. 

You can plan rides based on how curvy you want the roads to be, avoid motorways and tolls, and even create round trips for those last-minute weekend rides. It also offers offline maps and voice navigation, which is ideal when you’re heading into remote areas with little or no signal. You can save routes, import and export GPX files for your sat nav or GPS, and easily plan fuel stops, hotels and meeting points along the way. For touring, weekend rides, or just finding better roads, it’s one of the best motorcycle apps out there. 

Our next one is for all the upcoming riders, or those of you who know one! This is a motorbike theory test app, this app provides you with all the materials you need to be able to pass your theory test first time. With revision questions and answers all licensed by the DVSA. It contains hazard perception video clips, mock tests, exams to check that you’re ready, a practice progress bar, test analysis, the latest highway code, and all UK road signs. Top choice for theory learners, so bear that one in mind.

Moving down the list, we have Zapmap, another one well worth having, especially if you ride electric or travel a lot by EV. Built specifically for EV drivers, it helps you find charging points quickly and makes longer journeys far less stressful by showing you where to stop, charge, and pay all in one place.

You can search from the widest range of public EV chargers across the UK, filter by connector type, charging speed, network, price, and live availability, so you can find the right charger for your vehicle without wasting time driving around. It also shows live charger status on many networks, helping you avoid turning up to occupied or faulty charge points.

For longer trips, the route planner is a huge help, allowing you to map your journey with charging stops built in, making road trips and touring much easier to manage. You can also pay for charging directly through the app across more than 80,000 chargers and 40+ charging networks, or use the Zapmap charging card for quick tap-and-charge access.

Yr.no is another great app worth having, especially for riders, travellers, and anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors. Developed by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, it provides highly accurate worldwide weather forecasts, helping you stay prepared wherever you are.

You can access detailed hourly forecasts, long-range weather updates, radar maps, weather warnings, and even snow depth information, making it far more useful than a basic weather app. Its worldwide coverage and trusted forecast data make it ideal for planning road trips, weekend rides, holidays, or simply checking conditions before heading out.

For motorcyclists, knowing what the weather is ahead can make a huge difference to safety and comfort on the road, especially when planning longer journeys. It’s also incredibly useful for farmers and outdoor workers who rely heavily on accurate weather updates to plan their day. With clear visual forecasts and location-based “around you” weather data, it’s one of the most reliable weather apps to keep on your phone.

Waze is another GPS navigation app, this one is a personal favourite for me and one i use every day. It provides real-time turn-by-turn navigation, traffic updates, hazard alerts (police, accidents, potholes, etc.) and routes based on user-submitted data. I personally love this one purely thanks to users being able to report incidents, which will immediately update routes for others. 

Waze allows you to filter routes for two-wheeled vehicles by factoring lane splitting, faster ETAs based on fellow biker data and access to HOV lanes. You can do this in settings by selecting vehicle details and type. You can even use voice commands and send reports without having to lift a finger. All you have to do is say ‘OK Waze.’ 

Of course, we couldn’t leave out our own Lexham Insurance App. Available on iOS and Android, it’s designed specifically for Lexham Insurance policyholders, giving you a simple, convenient way to manage your cover all in one place.
With the app, you can:

• Access your policy details and documents anytime
• Upload important documents, including your no-claims bonus
• View renewal documents and quotations
• Submit and track claims
• Make changes to your policy with ease
• Check loan agreements and payment schedules
• Request policy cancellations

Everything is built to make managing your insurance as straightforward as possible. On top of that, the app also lets you get in touch quickly, whether through live chat or by requesting a callback. 

Back to a navigation route planning app, this is another one designed specifically for motorcyclists, focusing on twisty, scenic routes while avoiding motorways. 

Some key features include winding route generator, round trips, navigation and tracking and premium features offer offline maps, a wavy route option, speed camera alerts and the ability to export GPX files. It will tell you all the local petrol stations, restaurants, and popular biker meeting spots. In short, this one is slightly more than your usual navigation app; it's really here for the bikers who want the more enjoyable route. 

Fuelfinder is a new government service that helps drivers and riders find the cheapest fuel near them. So if you’re trying to cut down on fuel costs, the new fuel finder UK is worth knowing about. 

Fuel stations basically share their prices, and the data is then made available through apps and online platforms. Instead of guessing or riding around comparing prices, you can quickly see where the best value is in your area. Overall its great for easier price comparisons, real-time updates and potential savings on every fill-up. 

It's as simple as searching your postcode, town or city, selecting the kind of fuel you require and scrolling down to see the list of petrol stations and prices. 

Finally, taking top spot is the Beeline navigation app, which has an optional handlebar device designed for riders for both motorcyclists and cyclists who want a simple and less distracting interface than traditional sat navs, although you can use the app without it. 

Instead of a busy map like Google Maps, Waze, etc, it gives you a clean, easy-to-focus arrow, so if you’re one to accidentally take the wrong turn or lose your bearings on the app, then this one is for you, although you can also use a map interface if you prefer.

You can choose between fast, fun, quiet or balanced routes depending on how you want to ride. It works even without a signal; once the route is downloaded, there's no need to worry about that! You can log journeys, save your most used routes and sync with apps like Strava. So, for the simplest riding experience, this is the one!

And that’s a wrap of our top 10 best motorcycle apps for IOS & Android users! We hope you have found something here that makes your rides smoother, safer, and a whole lot more fun.
