Editor's Overview

Roue Libre is a navigation application developed by mgdx, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.3 weighing in at 9.06 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 9.06 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "mgdx" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Roue Libre shows bike-share stations on a map and computes a door-to-door journey combining walking and cycling.

Everything runs on the device: the map, the address search and the route computation need no connection at all. Only real-time bike availability goes out on the network.

What sets it apart

• No Google service: no Play Services, no Firebase, no Maps SDK. It runs on any Android OS without Google services.
• No telemetry, no tracker, no unique identifier, no account.
• No journey data kept: no history, no positions, no destinations. What you search for does not leave the phone.
• No city is imposed: several conurbations coexist on the device, and one city's data can be deleted without touching the others.
• The journey optimises the pair of stations — departure and arrival — rather than settling for the nearest, and weighs the risk of a poorly stocked station emptying while you walk to it.

Worth knowing before installing

The map, the routing graph and the address index are not in the application: they are downloaded once, from the storage screen, or installed by hand from files you produce yourself. Their weight follows the city — a few tens of megabytes for a medium-sized conurbation, more for a capital — and it is announced before downloading.

The cities served

Close to three hundred networks, in some thirty countries: every one that publishes its stations as open data and whose docks the journey can rely on — from Vélib' in Paris to Citi Bike in New York, by way of Prague, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Tokyo and Buenos Aires. The application proposes yours from your position, if you ask it to, and you can keep several installed and switch between them.

The offline datasets have been produced for a handful of them so far. For the others, the application says so rather than pretending: the list shows what exists, and the files can be produced with the repository's scripts.

It is tied to no network in particular: the list of cities updates itself, and every city carries the address of its own GBFS feed, which makes the application usable with any GBFS network in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Roue Libre free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does Roue Libre require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is Roue Libre safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by mgdx. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update Roue Libre?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
