User reviews

A really great idea but…

I was impressed by the idea as dedicated motorbike parking is frequently difficult to find.
Originally I was disappointed with the app because the database was far from complete outside the main cities. However, users now seem to be adding more data and the app is becoming useful.
There’s a lot of useful info about local bike parking rules within the app.
I have given 5 stars because the app has so much potential and works well. An increasing number of bays are getting added. I know that developers try hard to produce good apps and I’m inclined to give this one my support.

A really great idea but…

I was impressed by the idea as dedicated motorbike parking is frequently difficult to find.
The app certainly works although it annoyingly asks for permission to use location data every time.
The main issue is that the database is far from complete. The vast majority of bike parking bays are not shown at all. Basically the app presents a blank map with no information at all for every town I tried. Locally, only one of my local bike bays is marked. I paid £4.99 for nothing at all.
The app includes a facility for users to add bike bays to the database. I have added several but they don’t show up.
I have given this 3 stars because I think it’s a great idea and very useful but, until the database is fully populated, there’s no point in using the app. It’s a shame because I know developers try hard to produce good apps but, until it actually shows the bike bays, it’s a waste of all that effort.
Incidentally, I tried another similar app and that suffered from the same issue.

UPDATE: This is still a potentially good app but the data IS NOT being updated.

Used to be great

Not sure who took this over and who is now developing it - but it’s gone from 5* to 1*

Old app was better

The old app was simple, didn’t freeze or quit, and was quick to use. The new app is the opposite.

App’s been nerfed. Was amazing now a mess

It’s ruined. For the old app my review said:

Really useful app. I’ve never had any issues with it and use it regularly. Honestly it’s an essential for me and I’m surprised to see negative reviews.

Now it’s a mess. A real shame. I don’t use it anymore.
