### 2/5 — Doesn’t accept digital payment

*2026-08-07, version 1.0.0*

Unfortunately it doesn’t accept Apple Pay.  I am reluctant to give my credit card information to yet another company.  I think I applaud the concept I think and I look forward to using it someday.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t crash anymore

*2026-07-28, version 1.0.0*

Largely works

### 1/5 — Accessibility issue

*2026-07-14, version 0.22.1*

Slider bars as inputs maybe make sense for less than 13 options but they're not accessible at that range. 4 days of 1 hour intervals is 96 options.

I cannot book my reservation without my finger leaving the screen changing it drastically. At least have an alternative input (like time and date dials, the web standard).

### 1/5 — Wouldn't Accept Payment

*2026-06-30, version 0.22.1*

Absolutely terrible experience. Just making the account had me in a constant loop of phone number verification even though the account had already been created. 

Once I actually managed to get into the app to select a locker I couldn't even add funds because it kept giving me a "Card Details" pop up. Presumably it meant the card details were somehow wrong (they weren't) and I couldn't do anything about it. 

If this is some sort of ploy to discourage people from biking and using public transit, it definitely is working.

### 1/5 — Horrible company

*2026-06-26, version 0.22.1*

My bike was locked up. I was far from home. The app couldn't find the locker and their support line repeatedly hung up on me from hold without anyone ever answering.

Absolutely abysmal company. 

If you want access to your bike stay away from these incompetents.

### 2/5 — The sign up flow is horrible

*2026-06-15, version 0.22.1*

The app needs polishing. I’ve been forced to use a locker and had to use this locker. It took me several attempts before I was able to create an account. It asked multiple times for phone and email verification, and then multiple times for CC. I tried to copy a card number from my password manager, and the cc form went crazy. Please test your app.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-06-11, version 0.22.1*

The app works perfectly fine up until I want to rent a locker where it just says the lockers are loading even though all lockers are available. I don’t know if this is a me problem or an app problem but it’s genuinely leaves the app unusable.

### 5/5 — App works great

*2026-06-11, version 0.22.1*

The mobile app is very reliable. I like that you can scan from the camera the QR code on the door where your bike is and the app automatically end the rental. The “Navigate” button on the app only works if you have Apple Maps. It should work with the user’s default map setting/app (Google Maps etc). I do recommend this service and hope it expands to schools and parks

### 1/5 — Crashes on every launch

*2026-06-09, version 0.22.1*

Crashing

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-06-02, version 0.22.1*

Can’t even get through a sign up flow. So frustrating
