Service area

It’s a great and helpful program. I just wish that the service area would’ve expanded by now.

Okay

Very worn just get a good one
App is easy to use

End-of-ride photo doesn’t work on iPad.

I travel with a cellular-enabled iPad, not an iPhone. The app downloaded, installed, and opened fine. It let me buy a monthly subscription and unlock a bike. But at the end of the ride Blue Bikes requires a photo, and each time I tried the app would kick me out. (Yes, I’d given it access to the camera.) So after each ride I’d have to contact support to have them end the ride. That usually worked, although sometimes they were slow about it. If the app doesn’t work with iPads they should say so up-front, and not let us purchase subscriptions that way.

Fair pricing and fun. No charging alert/ran out of battery suddenly— good thing I’m fit…
