### 5/5 — J’adore Bicyclette!

*2017-10-08, version 8*

Awesome, génial!! Best app for NYC Citibike. Regular app is crap - too slow & clumsy. This one is fast & simple - load fast & quickly shows the number of bikes/spots there are. No need to click 1 by 1 on stations. Merci!! And as a bonus, works around the world! Makes me wanna travel!!

### 5/5 — Best bike app

*2013-07-01, version 2.5.1*

I've tried all the apps for the NYC bike share program and this is simply the best. If you only use one, this is it.

### 5/5 — The Best Velib app !

*2012-10-11, version 1.1*

It's simply the best velib app for Paris cycle transportation system. 
Minimalist, you simply see a fullscreen map with bike disposal or parking space. 
Very efficient !

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 12 — 2022-09-12

First update in four years! That’s not too bad for a 10-year old app. Still, this is a quite small update. This fixes glitches in recent versions of iOS, and especially makes sure the referenced bike-sharing systems are still working properly. Cheers!

### 11 — 2019-10-14

This was supposed to be a very small update to fix a crash at launch on the latest iOS version. However, simply using the latest Xcode tools enabled Dark Mode for Bicyclette. Yay!

### 10 — 2018-03-22

Electric and regular Velibs, San Francisco, and Lille.

Velib:
* The app now uses another data source. That is to say, one that works. Let’s just say that the opendata feed isn’t yet completely up to the task.
* Other important improvement: the app now displays electric and regular bikes count separately.

Elsewhere:
* Improved the display for the Ford GoBike service in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is now displayed in three separate zones (San Francisco, San Jose and East Bay).
* Fixed the availabilities for the V’Lille bikes.

Everywhere:
* Availabilities are now correctly reloaded at launch time.
* Adjusted the map background; motorways are slightly dimmed.

### 9 — 2018-01-09

Vélib’ 2, La Rochelle, GBFS and iPhone X.

NEW AND SHINY

* Support for the new Vélib service, using the official Paris opendata API. This API doesn’t indicate which bikes are actually electric, but I hope I’ll find a workaround.
* iPhone X screen size support, along some adjustments and fixes
* New icon by @thibautsailly <3

* Other Cities and Services
 * Added support for GBFS. GBFS is the “General Bikeshare Feed Specification”, used by many new and existing services. See an official list here: https://github.com/NABSA/gbfs/blob/master/systems.csv
 * Switched to the new opendata API for La Rochelle (Yélo)
 * Switched to the new opendata API for Strasbourg (Velhop)
 * Switched to an official API for Orléans (Cykléo)

OLD AND RUSTY

* Under the hood: modernize and cleanup my objc code. Use UIAlertController, NSUrlSession, dot-properties.
* Party like it’s 2013.
* Removed support for the Vélocéa system in Vannes. The new service, Vélocéo, should begin operating in 2018.
* Removed support for Seattle Pronto Cycle Share, the service stopped a while ago. The city is currently experimenting with other partners, we’ll see how it goes.

### 8 — 2017-04-17

The latest update was inadvertently incompatible with 32-bit devices (basically, iPhone 5 and older). I was so excited to modernize the project that I got a little too far.

Nothing happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
