Good but had flaws

The bikes are decent, what you would expect from a bike but i was supposed to get $7 back from the app and never got it. It straight up stole my money.

Broken

App gets stuck on the loading screen. Doesn’t even load the map view.

Takes your money

The app charges even if the bikes are not available. It’ll take your money. It shows bikes that are available that are not , but then you get there and they won’t check out, but it is happy to take your money
