### 3/5 — Fun but broken pump

*2026-07-25*

Great experience! But unfortunately the tires needed air and the air pump station didn’t work. Other than that it was great!

**Developer response:** Hello, Sorry to hear that the tires on the bikes needed and air and the pump was not working. We do not maintain the bike fleet. This is done by your property, so unfortunately this is out of our control. Please use the HELP button in the App to contact your system admin to report this. Thank you.

### 2/5 — Flat Tires on Bikes

*2026-06-21, version 1.35.1*

We rented three bikes... and all three needed significant air in the tires.  There was NOWHERE nearby to get/purchase air.  Experience ruined.

### 2/5 — Flat tires and unable to lock 2 bikes at one for child and I

*2026-06-20, version 1.35.1*

Pump doesn’t work. Unable to unlock 2 bikes at once for adult and child and flat tires

### 2/5 — Hassle

*2026-03-15, version 1.34*

No Apple Pay. Didn’t accept code for my spouse (our hotel provides for free).

The code wasn’t the problem as it worked for me. Just not my husband.

### 2/5 — Hassle

*2026-02-15, version 1.34*

No Apple Pay. Didn’t accept code for my spouse (our hotel provides for free).

### 1/5 — Too complicated to use

*2025-12-29, version 1.34*

Need enable Apple Pay

### 4/5 — Nice

*2025-12-04, version 1.33*

Easy to use a little glitchy here and there but great app

### 1/5 — Locks

*2025-11-24, version 1.33*

On the app, it says the bike has been unlocked from the station it clicks, but the bike will not come off.Half the biles have flat tires

### 1/5 — Never unlocks the bikes

*2025-10-25*

Every single time we try to ride these bikes. It only shows one out of five available, and then when we select to unlock it, it doesn’t release. 
This is my 5th attempt no success

**Developer response:** Hello Serenitydv,  Sorry to hear that you have repeatedly been unable to unlock the bike from the rack. Typically this happens if the locking system is low on battery, so the operator of that bike share program needs to do this. On any of these occasions, did you contacted the operator of that bike share program? You can contact them by clicking the HELP button in the App or using the Report a Problem button. We don't operate the bike share program; we only provide the platform to your property who owns and operates the bike share. If you want to contact us at info@onbikeshare.com with the name of your property, we can contact them on your behalf.

### 1/5 — Very bad user experience

*2025-10-19, version 1.33*

I’ve never had a app that has made me more frustrated than this. Please fix it as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-10-15, version 1.33*

App slow. Doesn’t work. Only one of the bikes popped up out of multiple. Not that hard to make an app. Not that hard to make it work… Lost of money and tax payers dollars

### 1/5 — Don’t Use this App

*2025-10-07*

My school uses this app for public bikes and so I downloaded this app to rent one. My mistake, because it will let you rent a bike, but it won’t unlock from its rack. And you can’t end the ride because the app thinks you removed the bike from its rack, which you didn’t do, because it is locked tightly in place.

**Developer response:** Hello xxUmbreonDarkxx, Sorry to hear that you were unable to unlock the bike from the rack. This situation can happen if the battery level in the smart lock has dropped below the level needed to operate the motor in the lock. In this instance, the App provides you the ability to end the rental, even if it is still locked to the rack. I guess you didn't try this? Have you contacted your on-site system admin for assistance? Their contact information is provided thru the help button in the App.

### 1/5 — most frustrating service

*2025-10-07, version 1.33*

about a 50% chance the app can’t find bikes at the rack. makes it basically unusable

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2025-10-05, version 1.33*

The most fickle app ever. Sometimes you can ride MOST of the time you can’t. GET IT TOGETHER

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-09-28*

You have to have a phone for each rider. We rented a bike for an adult and then could not rent one for my child that did not bring her phone. Total waste of time and money. Not user-friendly.

**Developer response:** Hello Kelly’s1, Sorry to hear that you were frustrated that you couldn't rent multiple bikes using the same phone. Each rider needs to accept the waiver, acknowledge that they are 18+ years of age, and accept financial responsibility for using the bikes. The bikes are also all adult size bicycles and not intended for children.

### 1/5 — Not functional

*2025-09-25*

The audacity of this app to be CONSTANTLY asking for reviews (probably every 30 seconds) is wild given that I haven’t gotten it to work once. We use this app at work to control our onsite bike fleet got getting around the campus, and the bikes are practically useless because they’re in a perpetually locked state because of this nonfunctional app and ecosystem. Truly horrible product.

**Developer response:** Hello Hedooooo, Sorry to hear that you have trouble accessing the bikes at your campus. We don't own or operate the bikes at your campus, so we do not have control over whether the bike's condition or whether they are available. Have you contacted your on-site administrator to request assistance? Their contact information is provided thru the help button in the App.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2025-09-24, version 1.33*

Can not get more than 1 bike so lame if you want to pull and ride with anyone else you live with. Dumb!

### 1/5 — Bike

*2026-06-26, version 1.35.1*

You can only do 1 bike per phone what a joke

### 1/5 — Unlock

*2026-06-16, version 1.35.1*

Bikes would not unlock had to start and end three time

### 1/5 — Awful. Hard to use

*2026-06-13, version 1.35.1*

Bikes won’t unlock

The developer comments, keep saying that there’s no charge to rent the bikes, but the app and signs say otherwise

### 1/5 — Outdated Interface

*2026-06-05*

This app severely lacks contemporary design standards. It makes me never want to ride a bike again. The reliance on Google Maps most likely just creates issues there are so many better alternatives. Please fix this app.

**Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback.

### 1/5 — System cooperative

*2026-05-30, version 1.35.1*

Can’t get help because there’s a line with the desk.
