My relative died on a bird

Stay away from these dangerous things. Their legal team fights to pay out for wrongful death lawsuits….

Connectivity issues

I wanted to hire a bike on a street in Portugal. Downloaded the app on my iphone and registered. Then tried to hire a bike and was charged for starting a ride but then the app did not allow me to ride because of “connectivity issues “. Tried again and I was charged again without being able to ride. I had internet and could use any other apps. I requested the refund but did not get a response… uninstalling the app. I feel scammed.
