User reviews

Not the real bikeshare, freezes phone

You can’t use this to actually rent the bike, and the app freezes and closes in about 60 seconds. This is fun in theory, but it’s not the real app. I’m not sure why Apple would let this app rank higher in a search over the apps that people actually need and use.

NOT the official DC bikeshare app

Wish I'd looked more closely before paying (99 cents) for ad-free. Thought a review could help others avoid the error.

Awesome streamlined interface

Dc Bikes really makes finding the few closest docks super easy… especially when using one handed on a bike.

Very poor

Difficult to zoom and move map
Adds at bottom of screen cover the buttons you need to use the app!!!!

Basic and Effective

It does exactly what it's supposed to. It indicates the location of bike stands around DC, as well as the number of available bikes at each stand. Pretty simple and direct.
