### 1/5 — No longer using their app or service

*2026-06-06*

First, I could not login because it tried to verify me with an old phone number. I couldn’t reset that login so I had to setup a new account with updated phone number. But I couldn’t login because app was stuck on phone number verification of prior account. Uninstalling did not fix this. Clearing browser data from safari was the only thing that worked. 

So then I log into new account and verify license. After that, I am no longer logged in. So I try to login but cannot. I have a “Something went wrong” error. I have to contact support to understand why I get this error. They say it’s because they need one working day to verify my license?! Verification was already approved! And why would that prevent me from logging in? 

This app has been a problem for years. I stopped using it for a couple of years and now I know why. I am again no longer using it. Really bad.

**Developer response:** Hi Samuel, I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good experience. Unfortunately, I can’t find any records for you under the name Samuel Jennings. I would kindly ask you to contact us again by phone and let us know that you’d like to report this. ^Lin

### 2/5 — Extremely buggy!!

*2026-02-27*

Zoom on map glitches, random white space appears, misstates true availability of cars, 2FA not sent to DE number but instantly to NL number get that API fixed, such a janky MVP application

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear that your Greenwheels app isn't working properly. If you would like our IT team to look into this, please contact our customer service department. I can't find an account right now with this name in our systems.

Furthermore, it is correct that German phone numbers are not accepted. ^Mara

### 1/5 — App is just non functional. Waste of time.

*2025-07-19, version 4.175.2*

I tried to use this app over the course of 2 days trying to book a car. The search would take time or never provide results. When it does clicking into the car does not allow for booking. I have restarted the app, reinstalled. Tried a different email. No change in experience. I’m glad I did not submit the deposit amount. Not worth your time. I would have perhaps given a star for a service outage status somewhere explaining issues but nowhere obvious that I could see.

### 1/5 — Error

*2025-06-16, version 4.172.0*

Payment error not allowing me to use the app

### 2/5 — Sign up

*2025-03-09, version 4.161.1*

This has been designed by a mad person. A heady mix of passwords, things to tick, Touch ID and passcodes

### 1/5 — Shady business practices

*2024-11-30*

Use this service at your own risk. I would recommend using competitors. They will charge you unfair fees and when they do they don’t respond to any requests and threaten to send debt collectors. Just google them you’ll find countless horror stories.

**Developer response:** Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. We strive to provide a fair and transparent service to all our users. If you've encountered any issues, I encourage you to reach out to our customer service team. They're available 24/7 to help resolve any concerns you might have. Your feedback is important to us, and we are committed to improving our service. If you have any specific questions or need assistance, please let us know.

### 1/5 — You cannot sign up with specific numbers

*2024-09-21*

For some reason, we couldn’t sign up because we have Australian phone numbers, despite many other random countries supported. 

This should be mentioned in the app description, stating clearly that if you’re from Australia, don’t download the app.

**Developer response:** Hi, 

It is indeed true that you cannot create an account with an Australian phone number. Thank you for your feedback, I will check what we can improve on this to avoid confusions. ^Bo

### 1/5 — Have they gone out of business?

*2024-05-11*

Signed up for an account, provided PII and biometrics, and paid the deposit. However, there are no cars available anywhere in the Netherlands. If you close, take down the app and don’t take my money. I can’t reach anyone via customer service. Livid!

**Developer response:** Hi,

Can you contact us through our contact form? Unfortunately we had an outage last weekend which caused that customers weren't able to see our cars through the app, but this hould be fixed right now! We'd like to hear from you!

### 1/5 — Scam

### 1/5 — Broken now

*2022-09-16, version 4.41.0*

Latest update seems to have broken the app. It will no longer load.
