### 1/5 — Fraude!!!

*2025-10-07, version 2.5.8*

Te hacen inscribirte y te cobran en tu tc creyendo que es un app de bicicletas. El numero que dejan para cancelar no contesta

### 1/5 — Sehr unübersichtlich

*2025-09-04*

Das Einrichten der App ist sehr kompliziert und der Scan nicht möglich. Es erfolgen ein Weiterleiten zu anderen kostenpflichtigen Apps. Alles kostet Zeit und Geld.

### 2/5 — Spotty service

*2023-09-22*

Tough to connect to your server and it’s not my phone.

### 2/5 — Awfully bad

*2023-07-03*

The only reason why it gets two stars is because it lets you see where the bikes are located (which you can also see on google maps). But the app is super slow, needs a lot of data, is not easy for on the go quick checks, you have to wait for it to load, even if you have unlimited data, it still loads slowly. It doesn’t let you unlock bikes or pay through the app, so if the bike station has the main screen damaged, you cannot unlock the bikes from your app instead. You’ll still have to walk to another station because the app doesn’t do much. Also, their Ads are not best in class, so I imagine the way they are adding ads to the app is also probably causing latency and making it slower. You need a better webmaster.

### 1/5 — Terrible, complicated

*2023-07-03*

Does not work

### 1/5 — Can’t se the balance in my account

*2023-04-03*

I was charged excessively for the ride since I have a membership

### 1/5 — Bad update not enough information

*2023-01-06*

Before the app was clear more detailed. It showed how many bikes are available and how many miles can you travel on each e-bike. Now you have to pray that you won’t get stuck on the street with a e-bike that lost it’s charge. If this doesn’t change I’m canceling soon. Maybe I should invest in getting my own e-bike.

### 1/5 — WARNING DONT BUY THIS APP

*2022-11-15*

This app CHEATS YOU AND ROBS YOU OF MONEY!  They make you think it’s a bike app. I didn’t USE a bike through this nor purchase anything and they charged me $175!  Does anyone know how to get this money back?  Did this happen to anyone else? They need a lawsuit!

### 1/5 — Fraude

*2022-10-18, version 2.4.3*

Esta aplicación es un fraude

### 1/5 — Citi bike app

*2022-10-10*

Awful for 1st time riders- no instructions!
