Lime does it much better in Auckland. The one good thing is the ease of ending ride though. ### 5/5 — Worst service ever *2025-10-26, version 2.15.1* Disappointed ### 5/5 — N/A *2025-09-30, version 2.15.1* Reliable and efficient ### 5/5 — thanks *2025-09-17, version 2.15.1* thank you apps is pretty damn works well!👍👍👍😍❤️😘 ### 5/5 — Awsomd for 11 year old *2025-06-21, version 2.15.1* So good for me ### 1/5 — Too long to download *2025-05-21, version 2.15.1* By the time the ap downloaded I had walked to my destination ### 5/5 — Aucks *2025-03-20, version 2.15.1* Awsome a lot better then lime scooter in my option also a lot better on hill whare lime scooter cut outs ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ? *2026-06-08, version 2.15.1* Almost got slimed out for parking it wrong but the brake is really hard to push foward 😭 ### 1/5 — stop calling me *2026-05-21, version 2.15.1* i don’t care mate ### 1/5 — Got banned for reporting an incident *2026-05-03, version 2.15.1* I reported an accident that happened to me when I was on it a few weeks back and the manager from Wellington called me and had to ban my account. Still a fun thing but I guess they’re just salty. ### 1/5 — idk *2026-01-10, version 2.15.1* this app kept making me add a card and didn’t work I don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-28, version 2.15.1* Scammed ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-12-23, version 2.15.1* We paid the daily pass but it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-11-20, version 2.15.1* Just simply a rubbish app to use. A flappy helmet lock that is removable and can be easily lost. No idea why it replaced Lime in my area. ### 1/5 — Just beware *2025-10-10, version 2.15.1* This outfit will offer you free credit but, without being obvious, have conditions that the credit can’t be used in specific places/time ### 1/5 — Issues verifying phone number and no way to call or contact from the app. *2025-08-21, version 2.15.1* Issues verifying phone number and no way to call or contact from the app. ### 1/5 — I’m not 18 yet *2025-06-07, version 2.15.1* Mommy set parental lock.

The setup process was quick and straightforward—the app is easy to navigate, and unlocking a scooter only takes a few seconds. I appreciated how widely available the scooters were in busy areas, which made it convenient to grab one when I needed it. The ride itself was smooth for the most part. The scooters accelerate steadily and feel stable, even for someone who doesn’t use them often. They’re great for short trips around the city, especially when you want to avoid traffic or skip public transport. The pricing felt reasonable compared to similar services, though costs can add up if you’re using them frequently or for longer distances. One downside is that not all scooters are in perfect condition—some had minor wear and tear, like slightly worn brakes or lower battery levels than expected. It would be nice to see more consistent maintenance across the fleet. Parking can also be a bit tricky depending on local rules, and you need to be mindful to avoid extra fees. Overall, Flamingo scooters are a convenient and fun way to get around for short distances. They’re not perfect, but they do the job well and are a great option when you need a quick, flexible ride. ### 5/5 — It’s just great *2026-04-01, version 2.15.1* It’s just great!! The pricing is pretty good, can go an extreme speed for a scooter and you can get free minutes showing how active the app is. My first ride was when my friends were always using them to go to town. So, I downloaded the.app, hopped ons scooter and sent it downhill and the experience was amazing!!! ### 5/5 — Been a resident in AKL central. *2026-02-25, version 2.15.1* I enjoy the availability and convenience of your services to actively participate my community ### 5/5 — Fun as fun *2026-02-06, version 2.15.1* So fun I bury my grandads fortune on it ### 5/5 — Wonderfully convenient *2026-01-27, version 2.15.1* Great thank you ### 5/5 — Benny Campbell *2026-01-19, version 2.15.1* Great fun and very user friendly also The free ride minutes given as a reward for good parking is something the competitors are lacking I choose flamingo everytime ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-12-23, version 2.15.1* Good app ### 5/5 — Speedy and cheaper *2025-12-09, version 2.15.1* Not as solid and stable compared to Lime so beginners could have trouble especially as the accelerator is more sensitive, but great otherwise and cheaper nz owned option. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
