No complaints or problems at all and a great experience so far. It’s great that a service like this exists in the city and it makes my life without a car so much easier. Top! ### 3/5 — Gut, aber Verbesserungswürdig! *2022-07-01, version 1.13.0* Verfügbare Buchungszeiten könnten viel simpler und einfacher in der Auswahl gestaltet sein. Anstatt jeder einzelner Zeitframe einzustellen. Sollte man die mögliche Buchbare Zeit einfach jeweils anklicken können. Genauso, dass wenn man ein Velo buchen möchte, es dann buchen sollen kann wenn es auch physisch vor einem steht und nicht schon Tage vorher es blockieren mit Reservationen welche dann das Velo garnicht bewegen… Man könnte ja um die Flotte weiter auzubauen Privatbesitzer anfragen ob sie ihr nicht ausgelasstete Velo auch mit anbieten wollen/können. Ich hoffe auf Verbesserung, bisweil war noch keine Bucher die letzte Zeit möglich so. Auf Gründen wie oben genannt. Gute Idee, toll das es dieses Angebot gibt. Veielen Dank!! ### 1/5 — Very hard to use *2022-03-16, version 1.12.2* Can’t read in German and doesn’t have a selection to switch the language ### 4/5 — Toll! *2020-08-12, version 1.9.3* Gerne noch den Dunkelmodus unterstützen ### 1/5 — Very hard to use *2020-06-25, version 1.9.3* Picking a date/time, the colors are white on tan. Impossible to read. Map shows red X symbols. Error messages. I think the design/UX is completely insane or maybe incorrectly programmed. ## Frequently asked questions about carvelo ### How do I find a carvelo?
