E,Bike Delivery

I live in New York where the routing is difficult due to strict laws and enforcement. Pointz is like no other E,Bike app when it comes to safety and route availability for compliance. Thank you so much Pointz for making this possible. Please reach out to me to send me stickers , posters, etc . I would be happy to put them on my e-bike !

The $79 annual fee is close …

… Dev just missed the decimal point, eg $7.90 one time fee, at best. Doesn’t even work — no scrolling despite words peeping up from the bottom. Smh

Needs work

The concept is great and routes are usually pretty good, but the app needs a lot of work to be more functional.

Ads

I appreciate that the developers need to get paid, but I uninstalled the app after seeing five ads in my first five minutes of using it. The final straw was an overlay ad that took up the entire screen while I was in the middle of trying to get directions.
