### 3/5 — Like the service, hate the app

*2025-12-08, version 2.9.42*

Like the service, hate the app. It keeps forcing me to download the updated version before using. Sure I don’t mind when I have all the time I need, but not really when I’m in a rush, especially since I use it to commute as part of my work journey. And they update the app so often, it becomes annoying really quickly.

### 2/5 — My ride tokens disappeared after updating

*2025-11-28, version 2.9.41*

Im sure I had around 10 tokens but when updating they all disappeared

### 2/5 — Translation needed

*2024-12-30, version 2.8.8*

Despite being a simple app to ride a bike there is little support in English. When can we expect to have a fully translated version to English?

### 2/5 — It’s getting worse

*2024-11-18, version 2.8.4*

1. Too frequent force update, what’s the point? Extremely Inconvenient for user when they are ready to use.

2. 點解可以成日都你壞車？又唔回收？一兩部都make sense, 你個area 得6 部可以同我5 部都壞，個app 又唔update 呢個info, 想點？

3.again, why it takes so long to checkout? 15 seconds or more is totally unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Unsafe

*2024-08-06, version 2.7.3*

The first bike I ever rented from LOCO BIKE, the brakes were not working. This felt extremely unsafe having to ride from University Station to Ma On Shan which involved some elevation change   going through high traffic areas.

### 3/5 — First time user

*2024-08-03, version 2.7.3*

Language interface was not great. Even though I set it to English many screens were still in Chinese and I had to guess how to get through.  The bike I got was relatively new and easy to ride. I would definitely use again.

### 1/5 — Unfriendly to tourists

*2024-02-28, version 2.6.15*

1. Many pages do not have English version. 2. Does not support PayPal. 3. Does not support UnionPay cards issued in China mainland and Macao. 4. Does not have the option to pay for single trip. Subscription can not be refunded. 5. Users have to purchase their own bicycle lights if they wish to ride at night.

### 1/5 — I stopped using because of the pricing plan

*2024-01-27, version 2.6.13*

Locobike used to allow users top up and spend as they please. The new pricing plan now only offer inflexible day pass/ 7-day/ monthly pass where users need to spend all the balances within a limited period. Now the cost is considerably larger for not-so-frequent users like me.

This is a failure and especially when the bike availability is still scarce, it is not worthy to top up an amount where i wont be able to exhaust. Such a waste of money

### 1/5 — ALERT: If i could give it 0 stars I would.

*2024-01-26, version 2.6.13*

When I open this app, I have to check my shoes to see if theres dogshxt there. Then i realize its just this app.

### 1/5 — Not recommended

*2024-01-09, version 2.6.12*

Not recommended. firstly there’s no hourly charge, the app forces you to sign a day pass which costs hkd 59. There are other options like weekly pass monthly and yearly but it’s very expensive. It’s a bad marketing strategy as it’s not attractive to the user, it could’ve been hourly charged but need to have minimum top up to use the bikes so that user have time freedom on using the bikes, this way user will use the app more often as they’ve got credit inside the wallet hence increase users usage rate of the bikes and the app. The app can have minimum charge to protect its asset or overtime usage. Second, the app is so buggy it doesn’t allow me to pay with any payments until i got so frustrated. Overall bad experience and will never use it again anymore

### 1/5 — No pre-pay function anymore

*2023-12-28, version 2.6.9*

Used to be a really good app to promote “sharing” facilities in town but the payment plan has changed with day plans which is so  non-user friendly and lost the purpose of “sharing” and instead has became a “rental” app… 

Will never purchase any plan again

### 1/5 — Please make an effort and translate to English

*2023-11-04, version 2.6.5*

The app is only partially translated to English. And it’s not easy to find which buttons/icons to press to end the ride

### 1/5 — Rarely works and forces me to watch ads

*2023-07-11, version 2.6.4*

Opening the app rarely works for me (“server not found”) and when it does work I’m forced to watch an advert.

### 1/5 — Too many advertisements. Annoying.

*2023-07-10, version 2.6.4*

Load too slow. Need to update very frequently.

### 1/5 — Version for 2.6 can’t open the app pls adjust

*2023-01-29, version 2.6.0*

few day when finished updated version to 2.60 after then can’t open the app and also automatic close screen. Why will like this pls fix it and improve. I want try deleted this app and download again but warning say if do that will lost old account records. How come

### 1/5 — Why ads display in a paid service?

*2023-01-11, version 2.5.9*

Bike-sharing is charged at $4/hr, is a user expected to see at least 3 ads before using the service?

### 1/5 — Terrible service. Wonderful concept.

*2022-11-23, version 2.5.6*

Their bikes are largely broken or non-existent with pins floating around with no actual bike connected to it maybe to appear like there is a greater choice of bikes around when there is not. I’ve wasted so much time trying to find these mystery bikes. The app is also buggy and full of ads and quite sluggish too.  I love the concept any idea of bank sharing and I will continue to try to use the app and find bikes to do work right now. It’s terrible one out of five stars.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-13, version 2.9.31*

Beware of your payments, l used Mastercard ,l notice my statements showing l paid for this app again ,which l didn’t want to ,and l didn’t know it was a autopay also their helpline is not good ,they tell tell u to contact customers service which is so annoying .very upset with this

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-09-03, version 2.9.27*

Despite the reviews I tried to use it. You have to first purchase a ride so paid 20 Hong Kong dollars scanned the bike only to find it’s parked in an illegal place and it will  charge me to leave it there!? What kind of company is this. I don’t know if I cancelled the ride or not because it was in Chinese but either way they say they don’t give refunds on your purchase. If you’re thinking of doing it save urself £2 and walk for free. What scammers!!!!!

### 1/5 — I use it only bc there is no other option in Hong Kong

*2025-02-22, version 2.9.2*

The system is slow and get errors often causing you not able to use it for 24 hour…it causes lots of inconvenience for everyday use

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-11-13, version 2.8.4*

After a few days of using it in taipo it stopped working from the app, I’ve locked the bike and they were still counting I paid around $200 the time they took 7 hrs almost 8 hrs worth of my money and when I redownloaded the app. The app says incorrect number. This is such a crazy app.

### 1/5 — Lock bike problem !!!

*2024-10-29, version 2.8.3*

Too slow to lock 
Clicked a few times n needed to wait 
Thought it’s done already but still counting. 
Not good 
Not easy to operate

### 1/5 — Note to biker - this bike has limited return area, u might need to ride the bike back

*2024-10-11, version 2.8.3*

Note to biker - before u give money to this company, u might wanna know that this bike has limited return area, u might need to ride the bike back to where or belong  to, so if u were thing u can take a short ride home, think twice.  (Bought a $200 package to realise no it cant be returned)

### 5/5 — Nice

*2020-10-30, version 2.3.5*

Bike is nice.
Sometimes the system takes long time to process.
It would be nice if there is a function to report damage after checking out (esp after 2 mins check time)
