This app does everything one needs in order to rent a bike from a CDPHP Cycle! bile rack, ride it, and return it. It's not as smooth and technologically advanced as it could be; case in point, I happened upon a bike rack and decided it would be fun to finally rent a bike for the first time. I already had an old version of the CDPHP Cycle! app on my phone from a couple of years before when I saw my first CDPHP bike rack right by the apartment complex I lived in at the time and thought I might want to use it one day. So I launched that app and attempted to go through the process, but that app kept saying it couldn't connect to the network, which turned out to be because it was old and outdated, but I had to figure that out entirely for myself – there was no prompt to update the app to the latest version, and if I remember right, when I went to the App Store, the button to download the new version didn't say "update" either, but just showed the little cloud with the downward pointing arrow indicating that I had downloaded the app before. so, figuring that might be the problem, I threw away the old app and downloaded the new one, and then everything worked fine, but as I say, I had to figure out how to get around that obstacle all on my own, with no help from the app.
Once I did though though, everything worked well. I agree with another reviewer's thought that the app could provide more information on the ride one took, but other than that I haven't any major complaints so far. The service gets me out and breathing fresh air and seeing beautiful bike trails, so I think it's pretty great.
Now if we could just get the iPhone to stop capitalizing random dictated words like "One", the world would be a better place! 😛
