### 2/5 — Unusable because doesn’t go to payment screen

*2026-07-03, version 5.48.0*

App seems generally good but when trying to activate a pass it never goes to the payment screen and just errors out. Needed to use an alternate app for bikes in Monaco.

### 1/5 — A huge scam

*2026-04-27, version 5.48.0*

Charged $50 for a 3hr ride

### 1/5 — No good

*2026-04-26, version 5.48.0*

Works like a**

### 1/5 — System Broken had to get an uber

*2026-04-17*

the first bike stand that I got to (302) was full of good bikes, but the app said that it was empty so I couldn’t unlock any of them. went to the next stand across the canal down the street that the app said was full and it was full of bikes with flat tires and rusted chains. also noteworthy, these bikes don’t have any kind of integrated parking lock so you can’t make any stops unless there’s a docking stand nearby

### 1/5 — Unusable app design

*2026-04-08, version 5.48.0*

The field to enter the credit card expiration month/year uses a scroll wheel, but the lowest number on the month-wheel is a 4. So you can't enroll if you have a credit card that expires any year during the months Jan-March.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-04-04, version 5.48.0*

I would have given this app a zero star possible yeah I’m one of those people

### 4/5 — Works as intended

*2026-03-19*

I only use certain stations, so it would be helpful to be able to “favorite” certain stations (like add an option to tap on a star to save as a favorite) and include a button to toggle “show favorite stations only” and “show all stations”. Satellite map view would also be useful.

### 1/5 — Pésima

*2026-02-05, version 5.47.0*

Cada dos dias me manda iniciar sesión y se queda la pantalla en blanco sin poder utilizar el servicio. Lleva pasando ya dos meses

### 1/5 — Awful design

*2026-01-28*

This app interface UI is atrocious. They decided the button to switch between different bicycle networks is a banner on the left of the interface but it’s unclear that you need to select it to change so I was stuck in Bicycles Aruba trying to figure out why this happened , when the phone screen got accidentally tapped Spent over an hour trying various things before finally  tapping the banner to change the geo network. One of the few reviews I’ve made on this non intuitive interface

### 1/5 — No me deja ni acceder

*2026-01-26, version 5.47.0*

No me carga para introducir mis datos

### 1/5 — No puedo usar las bicis

*2026-01-04, version 5.47.0*

Llevo un mes sin poder usar bicis porque la aplicación se sale de la sesión y no conecta con el servidor. He llamado y me han procesado una solicitud sin hacer nada más, no me dan ninguna solución tras haber pagado mi bono de 40€.

### 1/5 — Problemas para iniciar sesión

*2025-12-28, version 5.47.0*

No consigo conectarme con SSO Municipal desde hace varios meses, la página no carga

No deja loguearse desde hace dos meses

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-10-20, version 5.47.0*

Tienes que iniciar sesión cada rato, no guarda los inicios de sesión y es muy incómodo tener que hacer login cada vez. Después continuos errores de inicio de sesión que se queda colgada y esperando a we si arranca para poder coger una bici. Horrible

### 1/5 — Fraude

*2025-10-19*

Bonjour, 

Aujourd’hui j’ai pris le vélo et je l’ai rendu à 11h40 sur place d’armes 
J’ai payé 15 euros pour 4 heures de trajets, 04h28 de vélo que je n’ai pas fait

### 1/5 — The app does not work!

I literally cannot unlock bikes regardless of which pass I choose.

### 1/5 — app broken

*2026-08-31, version 5.48.0*

I got logged out and whenever I try to log back in the entire language is stuck in Spanish and it says that I do not have a account with my email, even though I do

### 1/5 — Wasted hour

*2026-08-30, version 5.48.0*

Four of us each spent an hour trying to get registered and rent bikes in La Coruna. We even sought help from several locals. Only one was able to get it setup. None of the bike apps work. You are better off calling ahead and reserving a bike rather than trying to use Bici.

### 1/5 — Toujours des problèmes avec cette application

*2026-08-30*

Je ne peux pas comprendre qu’on paye pour utiliser un service et régulièrement il est impossible d’accéder à l’application nous avons régulièrement des bugs qui empêchent de récupérer un vélo. Certes c’est pas très important le développeur ça peut mettre des gens dans l’embarras et ça c’est pénible.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-25, version 5.48.0*

It just kept telling me my payment info needed updating and once I re entered my info it went to the “create an account” page and just didn’t work. It was an endless cycle of re entering info for 15 mins before I gave up and walked. Horrible horrible app, truly unusable.

### 1/5 — PGH Not Working

*2026-07-14, version 5.48.0*

This app used to work well enough for occasional, clunky trips. Now it defaults to Chattanooga and will not allow me to sign in. Credentials are correct because I logged into pogoh.org just fine to unlock a bike (thank goodness). Is this app abandoned?

### 1/5 — Worst App

*2026-07-14, version 5.48.0*

From a UX standpoint, this is the worst app ever.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-07-03, version 5.48.0*

I made sure all of my info and my credit card information was correct multiple times but it still wouldn’t let me unlock a bike.  The rating for this app is a 1.5.  Get your stuff together.

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE IN HAWAII

*2026-07-03, version 5.48.0*

NONE OF THE DOCKING STATIONS WORK!! YOU WILL GET STRANDED WITH THE BIKE AND GET OVERCHARGED!!! horrible, unmaintained service.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-18, version 5.48.0*

It’s like using the internet in 1995. You have to fill out a ton of different form Fields none of which will auto fill and then manually type in a credit card. No Apple Pay no Google pay no Shopify. The time it took me to rent a bike, my other friends walked and got there before me.

### 1/5 — Biki - Hawaii DO NOT PURCHASE

*2026-05-07, version 5.48.0*

There are almost no stations that work in Honolulu. The ones that do work are almost always empty and if there are bikes they are unusable and need repairs. There was one customer service rep who was friendly, although still unhelpful. The rest were very grumpy everytime I called.

### 5/5 — Good support

*2026-03-16*

We are at the far end of Waikiki and they seem to be bike stations everywhere makes it a lot easier to get to the beach and shopping. The price is right if you just do the five dollar pop, it was a problem at the station, but the Support on the phone is fantastic and the app worked as I expected. I don’t really see why the ratings are so low.

### 5/5 — Gute App. Schnelle Anmeldung

*2025-10-26, version 5.47.0*

Gute App um sich schnell ein Fahrrad aus zu leihen

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2024-08-28, version 5.45.0*

The bikes are good and the app works exactly as it should! Great way to get around Pittsburgh!

### 5/5 — 5-Star Service

*2024-04-26*

Shocked to see the number of bad reviews here. I agree the app is a bit outdated but I rarely have issues with it. I live in a condo so I always make sure to disconnect wi-fi before launching the app as sometimes my internet will cut out in the elevators and it negatively impacts the app performance. I also recommend opening the app a few seconds before arriving at the station so that the scanning process is easy.

### 5/5 — Great app with a few quirks

*2023-09-19, version 5.37.0*

I really enjoy using this app to cycle around Toronto. It usually works great, though a number of the bikes are very finicky and it can be frustrating when you have to walk to a new station. It’s easily the most cost effective way to get around the city.

### 5/5 — Works for me!

*2023-06-28, version 5.36.0*

Lots of bad reviews, but it works perfectly on my iPhone.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-05-30, version 5.34.0*

Shame this is listed as only 1.5 stars - I’ve had a great UX. Would recommend

### 5/5 — Perfect for our short stay in Chattanooga

*2022-09-20*

Rented the bikes to ride from the river to St. Elmo and back. It was so easy to sign up, to rent, to return and bikes were in good condition to ride. When you rent you can use the bikes for 1hr at a time (we assume so the GPS stays charged) for a 24hr period. We would just return our bike to another kiosk at the end of the hr and unlock another at the same kiosk to continue riding. We rode the TN River trail 2x in our 24 hrs + around town. Will do again for sure.

### 5/5 — Felicitări!

*2022-09-15, version 5.27.0*

Va felicit ca încurajați oamenii sa folosească biciclete prin faptul ca ați împânzit orașul și costa doar 1 leu/ora, sunt recunoscător și ma bucur sa ma plimb.

### 5/5 — Website

*2022-09-06*

This app is very hard to come across, put it in more of the footers of your pages on your website, that is all.
