No support

Trying to get a bike. Won't ready credit card. Tried three. Called, no one picks up phone. App is horrible.

App sucks!

Not user friendly and pretty useless! Why would you use this is you have transit which is a lot more complete?

Response from developer

Sorry the app is not meeting your needs. Most of our customers love the ease-of-use of being able to locate the closest docking station with a single tap on the bike. Trying to navigate a complicated app while biking is pretty dangerous and requires stopping. Toronto Bikes makes it easy and safe.

Zero

The worst service the worst app I've ever seen. Can walk home faster than use this service because the app is so inaccurate

Response from developer

We get our data directly from Toronto Bike Share, so any inaccuracies are issues with their service not updating. We do not have the manpower to go out an count all the bikes, so we must rely on the electronically transmitted counts from the docking stations. From time to time, these counts can be off, but are accurate in the vast majority of instances.

Tulsa OK visitor blown away

OMG what an awesome way to bounce from bike station to station, take a quick walking tour at each stop, hit a pub, a park, the museum. Helps you nail it EASILY to get a -0- charge for the day!!! Loved, loved it.

Complete and utter garbage

Should be removed from the app store

Location settings are all wrong

The company needs to add a location option that only uses the location while using the app. Otherwise it eats up my battery.

Needs location even while not using the app

Why would this be a setting? The app does it need my location and less I'm using the app but it insists on it otherwise the app will not function. This will drain your battery and it's unnecessarily invasive so I'm not going to be using this app until they change this.

Good app but one big problem

App works great if you want to know if there's a bike available next to you, but it doesn't allow me to see if a bike dock is open where I'm biking to if its not close.

The app would be terrific if it had the option to use my location "while using the app" but it requires my location "always". This kills my battery, this needs to change.
Show less

Response from developer

The app no longer asks for "Always" permissions unless you want to have background updates enabled.

Not the official app

Use spot cycle.

Location always on

Good app but why does the app need to have the 'location service' always on in the background even when not using the app? All the other apps do it. It drains the battery.
