Does not work

I did all steps and it never came up on my Apple Watch device so I gave up

Try again!

None of the buttons work!

Great concept, but the app no longer works

Got excited to try this out with my new Apple Watch, but the app no longer connects to live Citibike data. Hopefully the developer updates the API connections at some point.

UI elements gone from the iPhone SE version

When you tap the Apple Watch icon on the menu a window comes up explaining the Apple Watch app, but on an iPhone SE there’s no way to exit out of this window. I assume the x to close button is outside the app screen area (because of iPhone SE’s lower resolution)

Please fix.

Not useful

When you open the app, It doesn’t show true bike lanes. When you select the icon to show them a little window pops up that says unlock bike lanes and then stays there frozen and you cannot use the app at all. Clearly you are supposed to do something but It is completely confusing and not intuitive at all.

Just a toy

Nothing special comparing to the official one

Doesn’t work on my Apple Watch 4. No support

on the watch it says to open the app on my phone to purchase watch app. I’ve done that. App message stays the same. I’ve reached out to developer a couple times and have never heard back.

Google Maps is more accurate

You are better off using Google Maps than this app. Google maps is pretty accurate with the bike paths plus navigation.

Same as NYC map that you can get for free

This map doesn’t map your route. You can get an exact same map for free from NYC.gov

Very limited

I paid the extra $1.99, but it doesn't even give you a route to get to your destination. I didn't realize that the point of the app was just for Citi bikes.

Great NYC Bike Map

There are two major bike apps for NYC. I much prefer this app to the "official" one. The actual bike map which shows the bike lanes is much easier to read. And yes, I paid for the upgrade. Thanks!

Use it all the time

This is a good fast efficient app

Old and inaccurate bikelane info

I paid the extra $1.99 to get the bike lanes overlay on the map and found that information that is old or just plain wrong. Maybe this is based on NYC DOT’s plans, but errors I found don’t acth reality or the current (2015) city bike map. For example, this app marks about 20 blocks of Fourth Ave in Brooklyn as having a shared lane. The official city bike map marks that stretch as a signed route rather than having shared lane (i.e., sharrows), and I can attest from having recently traveled both ways along that stretch that there are absolutely no markings on the street for bikes. Meanwhile, the city map indicates that a Fifth Ave in Brooklyn now has sharrows from 23rd St down to 65th St., but this app shows nothing at all along that stretch.

Nice and snappy!

Gets down straight to business

efficient and accurate!

Used this app for a first time use of Citi Bike last Saturday. App was extremely easy to use and helped us find a docking station quickly as the 30 minutes fly by! Thank you for developing this!
