Pretty frustrating

I have an active Lyft account but after downloading this app it will just not recognize my phone number even after texting me a verification code multiple times. There is 0 recourse for help or a way to contact anyone in the app. I used the email reset and the “call me” option but then would just never recognize my phone number and/or verification code.

No feedback possible now

The app used to ask about feedback if the Bike is not available or the dock is not available, but it does not do that now. There is no possibility anymore to give a feedback.

The most unreliable app imaginable. The bikes work maybe 20% of the time in the Boston area at least

DO NOT USE BIKES

I used a bike (4th ride ever) on it for 15 min and placed it in a dock. It got locked in the dock but the ride continued. I called customer support and they told me there is nothing they can do despite sending the pictures proving what I was saying. They told me they will charge my card until the ride ends after 35 hours
