Broken app

The app won’t open. Most recent update is horrible. Deleting and redownloading does nothing. There is no way to contact customer support.

not reliable

Good when it works but only works like half the time. They need to fix it, half the time they don’t unlock and the other half they don’t show up on the app.

Bugs and No Support

Would give this a solid four until yesterday (-1 for a lagging app). The station where I’ve parked my bike did not send the signal to the app; now I’m technically using the bike for a whole day and cannot take another one without paying more. Supposedly 24/7 text support doesn’t do anything
