Motorcycle Apps That Work in Ireland

What counts as a motorcycle app in Ireland?

A motorcycle app is a phone app that does one job you need around the bike: finding a route, checking the rain, logging a service, calling for help or paying a toll. Most of the apps below are general apps that cover Ireland well, because Irish-only ones are few.

We group them by use and list them alphabetically inside each group. Prices are the ones the developer or the app store published on 10 November 2026. They change often, so check the store before you pay.

Navigation and route planning

Every app in this group has map coverage of Ireland. The difference is whether it can build a twisty route on purpose, and whether that costs money.

Apple Maps

Apple Maps is the built-in iPhone map and it is free. We found no published motorcycle routing mode, so it plans the route a car would get. It is fine for reaching a town or an address in Ireland.

calimoto

calimoto plans winding rides with its own twisty roads algorithm, on the phone or on a desktop. The free plan covers planning and GPX import. Premium adds voice navigation, offline maps, GPX export, ride recording and group rides. Premium costs €59.99 a year or €9.99 a week on 10 November 2026 at calimoto.com, with a 14-day trial on the yearly plan.

Google Maps

Google Maps is free and its road data for Ireland is good. Its two-wheeler routing exists only in a short list of countries. Google's coverage page lists eight countries, all outside Europe, so in Ireland you get car routing: fine for A to B, poor for a Sunday loop.

Kurviger

Kurviger is a German planner built around curvy roads. The free tier plans twisty routes and round trips up to 300 km. Tourer costs €14.99 a year and adds advanced avoidances and 600 km round trips. Tourer+ costs €29.99 a year and adds navigation, ride recording and offline maps. Both have a 7-day trial. Prices on 10 November 2026 at kurviger.com.

OsmAnd

OsmAnd is an open-source map app built on OpenStreetMap. It works fully offline and has a motorcycle navigation profile, GPX recording and weather layers. The free app covers most features. On Android, Maps+ costs €14.99 a year or €69.99 once as the separate OsmAnd+ app, and OsmAnd Pro costs €5.99 a month or €39.99 a year, on 10 November 2026 at osmand.net.

REVER

REVER tracks rides, shares your live location with friends and holds a library of public routes, with a Dublin entry in its popular roads list. The free plan covers routes, tracking and follow-the-line navigation. PRO adds twisty routing, offline maps, turn-by-turn directions and weather alerts, at $39.99 a year after a two-week trial on 10 November 2026 at rever.co; the app store shows the euro price.

Scenic

Scenic plans curvy routes, generates round trips and imports GPX, KML and Google Maps links. The standard plan is free. Premium is listed at $4.99 a month when billed annually, with monthly and quarterly options and a free trial for newcomers, on 10 November 2026 at scenic.app. The developer says the price varies by region.

Weather

Irish weather changes inside an hour, so a forecast app matters as much as a map. Two apps cover the island well.

Met Éireann

The Met Éireann app is free on the App Store and on Google Play. It gives a geolocated forecast for your exact spot, a rainfall radar that updates every five minutes, and all active national warnings for rain, wind, temperature, snow, ice and fog. The hourly forecast goes ten days ahead and includes gusts and chance of rain per hour.

Windy

Windy shows wind, rain, temperature and pressure as animated maps from several forecast models, including the European ECMWF and ICON EU models that cover Ireland. The Play Store listing says the app is free with no ads, with in-app purchases. Windy Premium is listed from $24.99 a year on 10 November 2026 at windy.com.

Maintenance and service records

A maintenance app reminds you by distance or by date and keeps the receipts in one place. When the reminder says chain, valves or tyres, our motorcycle mechanics by county page lists workshops near you.

Drivvo

Drivvo logs fill-ups, expenses and services and reports the cost per kilometre. It is free on Android, iPhone and the web, and the developer says it is used for motorcycles as well as cars, according to drivvo.com.

Fuelio

Fuelio is a fuel and cost log for Android and iPhone with no ads. Its reminders module sends alerts by date or by mileage for service, inspection or insurance. Some features sit behind Fuelio Premium, according to fuel.io.

MotorManage

MotorManage is built for motorcycles only. It tracks mileage and time since the last service, sends reminders by mileage, by date or both, and tracks wear on parts. It is free with in-app purchases, and the free plan covers two bikes, according to motormanage.app and the App Store.

Safety and emergencies

In Ireland the emergency numbers are 112 and 999, and 112 works in every EU country free of charge.

112 and the Emergency Text service

We found no official 112 Ireland app. What 112.ie publishes is a guide to making the call and an Emergency SMS service for people who cannot make a voice call. The operator's first question is your location, and 112.ie asks for the exact address and Eircode if available.

Android: Personal Safety

Google's Personal Safety app stores emergency contacts and medical info and can share your location in an emergency. Its Car Crash Detection is listed for Pixel phones only, according to the Play Store listing. Other Android makers have their own versions, so check your phone's safety settings.

Apple: Crash Detection

Apple's Crash Detection is on iPhone 14 or later and Apple Watch Series 8 or later. Apple's support page says it is designed to detect severe car crashes involving saloons, SUVs, pick-ups and other passenger cars. It does not mention motorcycles, so do not rely on it to detect a fall from a bike. If it triggers and you do not respond, the phone calls emergency services after a countdown and texts your location to your emergency contacts. Source: Apple Support.

Eircode Finder

The Eircode Finder is a free website from Eircode that finds or checks the Eircode of any address. On a rural road, the Eircode of the nearest house gives the operator a point to send an ambulance to.

Community and events

Meetup and Facebook groups are where most Irish ride-outs get organised; our motorcycle clubs listing covers the organised clubs and our guide to motorcycle events in Ireland covers the calendar.

Tolls and paperwork

eFlow (M50 toll)

The M50 toll has no barriers. Cameras read every registration between Junction 6 and Junction 7, and the owner must pay by 8pm the next day. Motorcycles are exempt: eFlow says its system recognises a motorcycle automatically and there is no charge, according to eflow.ie. You do not need an eFlow account for the M50 on a bike.

Motor Tax Online

motortax.ie is a Department of Transport website, not an app. You can pay motor tax, declare the bike off the road and check a change of ownership. You need the registration number, a PIN from the Vehicle Registration Certificate, an email address and a card.

NDLS

Licence applications, renewals and address changes run through the NDLS online portal with a MyGovID account. There is no current NDLS app worth installing.
