User Reviews: D.C. Bikes

Top reviews

  • Not the real bikeshare, freezes phone

    You can’t use this to actually rent the bike, and the app freezes and closes in about 60 seconds. This is fun in theory, but it’s not the real app. I’m not sure why Apple would let this app rank higher in a search over the apps that people actually need and use.
  • NOT the official DC bikeshare app

    Wish I'd looked more closely before paying (99 cents) for ad-free. Thought a review could help others avoid the error.
  • Awesome streamlined interface

    Dc Bikes really makes finding the few closest docks super easy… especially when using one handed on a bike.
  • Very poor

    Difficult to zoom and move map
    Adds at bottom of screen cover the buttons you need to use the app!!!!
  • Basic and Effective

    It does exactly what it's supposed to. It indicates the location of bike stands around DC, as well as the number of available bikes at each stand. Pretty simple and direct.
  • Works well

    Easy to use & good functionality
  • Location services always on

    App accomplishes the bare minimum of what it needs to do, but absolutely should not require location services to be on at all times.
  • Ads make it impossible to use

    The location of the banner ads make it impossible to view the number of bikes available in the map mode. This makes the app unusable. You have to make an in-app purchase to banish the advertisements. Do not waste your time.
  • Outdated but works

    Apple now warns me when I open this old app that it might slow down my phone
  • No regard for privacy!!!

    Do NOT download this app. It requires that you give it access to your location ALWAYS, even when not using the app.
