### 1/5 — Trash App

*2026-08-07, version 2026.23.38*

Waisted my time for 45 minutes

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-05, version 2026.23.38*

Excellent

### 1/5 — Buggy, Terrible App

*2026-07-29, version 2026.23.38*

It took my family 25 minutes to get the stupid app to allow us to rent four bikes. It must have been vibecoded by drunken monkeys.

### 2/5 — Really unintuitive app

*2026-07-29, version 2026.23.38*

Tried to rent 2 bikes, couldn’t do it at all. I had to create a new account to do something as simple as get two bikes out. UK zip code does not come up using letters which post codes have. 

Needs. A lot of rework.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-07-25, version 2026.23.33*

It is the worst app I’ve ever used, useless.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-24*

It sucked in my $50 in my card without telling me.holy scam worst app in my phone 100%.I’m don’t even live here and I just lost the money and I can’t do anything about it.

### 1/5 — Bike quality

*2026-07-22, version 2026.23.33*

The bikes weigh over 25 kg and are not fun to ride. The gears are either way too hard or way too easy.

There are almost never any e-bikes available at the stations.

They also place a $50 hold on your card when you unlock a bike, and it can take up to 20 days to get it back. Overall, not a great experience

### 1/5 — Unknown charge

*2026-07-22, version 2026.23.33*

I paid for two bikes with a day pass on July 20 and I was charged $33.90. However the app charged me again today (July 21) for $37.96. And another $50, I know it’s for a deposit and I will get it back in a several day.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-07-22, version 2026.23.33*

So great! (Cud be cheaper)

### 5/5 — Get on it!

*2026-07-21, version 2026.23.33*

Works great, love the program!
