Does not work

I did all steps and it never came up on my Apple Watch device so I gave up

Try again!

None of the buttons work!

Great concept, but the app no longer works

Got excited to try this out with my new Apple Watch, but the app no longer connects to live Citibike data. Hopefully the developer updates the API connections at some point.

UI elements gone from the iPhone SE version

When you tap the Apple Watch icon on the menu a window comes up explaining the Apple Watch app, but on an iPhone SE there’s no way to exit out of this window. I assume the x to close button is outside the app screen area (because of iPhone SE’s lower resolution)

Please fix.

Not useful

When you open the app, It doesn’t show true bike lanes. When you select the icon to show them a little window pops up that says unlock bike lanes and then stays there frozen and you cannot use the app at all. Clearly you are supposed to do something but It is completely confusing and not intuitive at all.

Just a toy

Nothing special comparing to the official one

Doesn’t work on my Apple Watch 4. No support

on the watch it says to open the app on my phone to purchase watch app. I’ve done that. App message stays the same. I’ve reached out to developer a couple times and have never heard back.

Google Maps is more accurate

You are better off using Google Maps than this app. Google maps is pretty accurate with the bike paths plus navigation.

Same as NYC map that you can get for free

This map doesn’t map your route. You can get an exact same map for free from NYC.gov

Very limited

I paid the extra $1.99, but it doesn't even give you a route to get to your destination. I didn't realize that the point of the app was just for Citi bikes.
