Kiepsko

Veturilo działa dziesięciokrotnie lepiej niż ta aplikacja - zawiesza się, wyświetla ciągłe błędy - sprawia że używanie roweru miejskiego jako codzienny środek transportu jest niemożliwe, bo nie można na niej polegać.

Tragedia

Aplikacja się zawiesza, nie można wypożyczyć rowerów, często wyświetlają się błędy, pokazuje, że rowery są wypożyczone, gdzie w rzeczywistości są wpięte na stacji….

Great app!

Thanks for great app!

Don’t ever use these bikes unless you want to get scammed

As the title says, I got scammed for £6.50 for bikes that wouldn’t even unlock. I literally unlock them from the app but they never unlock so you can use and when they don’t unlock you sometimes will struggle a lot and waste a lot of time just to get them locked again. Please I beg you don’t use these bikes I literally got scammed. I will never use again and would never recommend anyone to use neither. The company doesn’t even care about checking these bikes to see if they’re well maintained or anything, they just care about your money that’s all.

Koszmar

Wypożyczenie roweru często okazuje się niemożliwe. Co ciekawe, apka widzi rower jako wypożyczony, mimo że blokada się nie zwalnia, a roweru nie da się wyszarpać żadną siłą. Ani aplikacja, ani stacje z rowerami nie działają poprawnie.

Dramat

Aplikacja nie działa, zacina się co chwile. Bardzo duże utrudnienia z oddaniem lub wypożyczeniem roweru.

Dramat!

Aplikacja się zacina, w momencie gdy zwróciłam rower do stacji status w aplikacji pokazywał, że nadal go używam. Komunikacja na najniższym poziomie. Dodatkowo wielki problem ze stacjami samymi w sobie, ponieważ rower nie „wskakuje” i się nie zamyka w stacji.

Cannot use the app

Only offering subscription for hospital people or working for a foundation. Cannot enroll? Please help

Porażka

Nie działa praktycznie nic, już nie wspominając o wyglądzie aplikacji rodem z lat początków internetu w smartfonach.

Podstawowa funkcja działa

Podstawa, czyli wypożyczenie roweru działa i to by było na tyle zalet. Nie czyta mi żadnej trasy, ilości kilometrów, nic. Można tylko dzięki tej aplikacji wypożyczyć rower i tyle.

Waste of time

Can’t give this a star as it’s soooooooo poor , if there’s ever a Freebike available it has a problem, these seem to be the only ones available , you will never be able to spend the £1 admin charge as never a safe bike to find , also it seems these bikes are never fixed as they are still available after a few days of showing problems

Great way to commute. Love the electric

I’ve tried them once, tried them twice and now I just can’t imagine life without these bikes. However, very few places where I can get a bike from. Almost zero bikes are find in west or south- west London. Then sometimes some bikes have minor problems on them - rusty Squeaky pedals, poor braking, etc. which needs regular checking.

Confusing and ultimately completely useless

Used a bike scheme in Liverpool for normal pedal bikes. For the e-bikes I needed to use this app. But the merge process was an utter failure. Worse than that the Ui was baffling with bad error messages. Always wondered why the e-bikes were not being used. Now I know why.

DO NOT USE

Was looking forward to ride along the Liverpool waterfront. It was a pain to register on the App. You need to verify via text and email. I kept getting an error code and I never received a phone code. My boyfriend then tried 8 times then managed to register. He then went to put his card details in and the bike would just not release. We have spent £4 with no bike in hand. Thanks! Such a great app!! AVOID AT ALL COST. ITS A SCAM APP.

App doesn’t work

Tried to hire escooters. Downloaded app, never got the SMS so called helpline and just left on hold. Useless.

Do not use - zero stars

My wife downloaded the app, set up payment details (paid £1) but was unable to use the app to hire bikes as it didn’t recognise the account details we had received by email. My app worked but then informed me the bikes were locked for being outside the zone despite still standing in the collection point. I was informed by the helpline that I wouldn’t be charged, however the app tells me I will be charged £2.00 for the trouble. Great start to our holiday.

Waste of time - deliberately deceiving

After looking for a bike for hire in my area I came across Freebike and this app. It showed 6 bikes available for hire near me in preview mode. To unlock, of course, you have to register and spend a minimum of £1. So we did that and after login those bikes magically showed up as unavailable. We checked out the location and the bikes were there. They stood still for 3 days until we rang the help number and were told those bikes were in use by the council and not available to the public. When questioned about them showing on the app, we were told the council workers use the same up. All perfectly understandable. What is not acceptable though, is showing those bikes as available in preview mode to entice registration and payment. This is deliberately misleading and a representation of lack of ethical standards by this company. Avoid.

Pricing model is garbage

The onboarding is clunky, the app is buggy, the pricing is bizarre. Pay extra, contract only to use the electricity? Pay a fine for not stopping at a “parking station” but the nearest is a kilometre away (despite being in central London). Oh and as soon as I leave elephant and castle roundabout to the south, I’m outside the parking zone. The bike locks and I have to wrestle it back up north.

Just didn’t work...

After downloading the app in La Rochelle for me and my girlfriend we then created an account and even had £1 credit taken yet all the bikes we have tried to use say it’s rented even though they show free. Also nothing shows on the location map...poor!

Waste of time

Should be 0 star. App loads and goes through everything until the payment details page. It pops up before quickly disappearing leaving no chance to put in your details and you still without a bike. Phoned for advice and was told to delete and re-download the app. Tried this and once again the same problems. Phoned a 2nd time and was told it may be a problem with my network provider (what??) and they would speak to the tech team and call me back.
