Great gateway for a novice wanting to explore bike riding
Sure it's not perfect, but once you get by ones need for perfection, it is indeed amazing! I am hoping to become a bike rider and Capital Bile has provided such an opportunity. Thanks!abbas' grl
Location Allowed All the Time?
There's absolutely no reason to permanently have location on - add an "Only when this app is open". This app would be a clean 5 stars otherwise.RolandGS
Super helpful app
Saves me during the morning rush when I'm scrambling for a dock downtown. Very useful app.Lost Laura 729
Unnecessary permissions and bad advertising
The app requires you to always share your location which is unnecessary and means they are selling your location data. Additionally, the advertisements cover up key things like number of bikes and available spots making the app useless.Maxtraxs
Functionality issues
Works ok at best, often takes an exceedingly long time (1-2 mins or more) to load in info after enabling location services. Also usually has major issues when trying to swipe for other nearby stations- sometimes works, usually
doesn't. Overall poor.Retributia
Only works if you allow it track location at all times
Such a data waste!Dan33009
Functional, but corners were cut to make it work
It does what it advertises. It will get you to the closest bike share rack. That being said there are a few problems.
1. "Use current location". The application only allows you to set "use current location" to 'always' and 'never'. If you do not go into your settings when not using the app it will drain your battery unnecessarily. The app should be updated to allow 'only when using the application'. If battery life is a concern for you I would avoid this app until this bug has been fixed.
2. I am always prompted to "install google apps" although I have it installed and integrated with other apps. From what I can tell this bug is more of a cosmetic annoyance than a functional impedance.Heartsblood
Excellent
Very easy to find a station based on current locationSubmit ;)
Fantastic.!
Clean interface, easy to use, everything you need in one place while biking around DC.chewieg3
Very disappointed
This app REQUIRES you to allow them to access your location WHEN THE APP IS TURNED OFF or else they won't let you use the app at all. There is NO reason they need my location, especially when I am not even using the app. For that matter, I shouldn't have to authorize location services at all; I am perfectly capable of manually looking at the map and figuring out where I am.
