Can’t sign up

Not able to receive SMS code to sign up. It looks like that there were a few people having similar issues a year ago. Now might be a good time to fix this issue.

Payment method not working

The app won’t let me register a credit card or Apple Pay so I wasn’t able to use it.

E-bike experience in the city Split

The E-Bikes are mostly out of service and very scarce. This makes cycling threw the city Split, which has many hills, mostly impractical.

Doesn’t work

Been trying to use this app for 2 weeks while in Czech Republic. U.S. phone number - no code. German phone number - no code. Slovenia phone number - no code. Need to switch to email or some other way to sign up/in. 0 stars tbh

Logiciel à revoir

Les vélos sont bien, globalement en bon état, mais ce qu’il faut revoir c’est le logiciel de fonctionnement. Demande de confirmation d’inscription à chaque ouverture de l’application, bug sur bug à la restitution des vélos…Je l’utilise car pas le choix, mais c’est fatiguant et pas pratique à force.
