Easy to use,

### 1/5 — Bad app - can’t rent more than one bike

*2023-05-26*

Poor app. Unlike other cities, unable to rent more than one bike. Makes it useless for a group of tourists. Also it doesn’t work if you use the same phone number for different login accounts, which is common for tourists.
