That said, the App Publisher seriously need to put a proper development team on this and fix the app. Creating an account with a foreign phone number (in my case, a German one) is extremely frustrating and barely works. You can select all the international country codes, but the verification code simply never arrives. Strangely, it does arrive if you add an extra zero after the country code—so instead of +49 followed by a 1, you put a 0 there. That makes no sense, but it’s the only way it worked.
Even after that, the app constantly shows “Payment failed.” Over and over again. If you delete your account and try to add a payment method again, things get even worse. Sometimes the credit card authorization of $0.01 goes through, but the payment method still doesn’t get updated in the app at all—so you’re completely stuck.
For us, it somehow worked the very first time. We managed to rent our first bike, but after that, nothing worked anymore. The next attempt resulted in endless “Payment failed” messages again.
We also spoke with customer support on the phone, and they were especially friendly and tried to help us as much as possible.
Overall, the app is unreliable, buggy, and extremely frustrating to use. It really needs serious technical improvements.
