### 1/5 — Buyer beware

*2020-10-31*

Make sure you are purchasing the correct bike... manual vs ebike. They all look like e bikes until you try to ride it. App looses connection often and you aren’t able to contact anyone at the help center.

### 1/5 — WASTE OF TIME!

*2019-09-09, version 1.7*

It’s amazing how this app DOESN’T work.  Constantly crashes, can’t adjust settings, support tab always gives you an error.  Why did they even bother to make this? Just to piss people off.  Absolutely with out a doubt the worst most non-functional app I’ve ever used in my life.  I would give it 0 or even negative stars if I could.  Don’t even bother trying to download this.  Total crap!

### 1/5 — SCAM.

*2019-08-29*

Do not download. It’ll charge you automatically .99 when you chose to “hide the ads”. Do not download.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2019-06-22*

This app is meaningless and won’t allow the user to pay for its service. Fix your issues

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2019-06-11*

App keeps crashing, meanwhile my partner is riding around in circles laughing at me. Thanks 👎🏾👎🏾

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-05-25*

When I try to unlock a bike it just says “We apologize, something went wrong. Please try again.”

### 1/5 — Lacks disclosure of fee for AD free option

*2018-06-22*

BEWARE...App doesn’t disclose a service fee will be charged until AFTER selecting disabling the feature. Maze of invalid processes or urls exists when attempting to contact Apple or vendor support requesting assistance.

**Developer response:** The in-app purchase for ad-removal shows the standard Apple Prompt to purchase after you toggle the switch. You have to enter your iTunes Password, Touch ID, or Face ID to confirm the purchase. If you do feel that you have made this in-app purchase in error, please contact iTunes Support for a full refund.

### 2/5 — What’s up there?

*2018-05-02*

Shows nothing today. Also thanks to divvy, 10 pm and nowhere you can park in Lakeview

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-05-01*

Doesn’t work. Says “locating” the entire time and never loads anything.

**Developer response:** If you deny the app's request for location permissions, then it cannot locate you! Please enable them and try again.

### 5/5 — Solid

*2017-08-25*

Easy And reliable
