UK Bike Bays User Reviews

Top 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.

Getting greedy

Bought it for 1.99, now I need another fiver to unlock extra features that was included in previous version. Cmon

What’s Going On!

I'm really disappointed with the recent update. The app used to work perfectly, but the new version is frustratingly unstable and keeps crashing. The previous version was much more reliable, and I hope these issues are addressed soon.

Bike Bays

This is a waste of money. It hangs and does not give locations details and it’s not easy.

Getting worse

The old app worked; this redesign is not an improvement but I thought it might get better.
Unfortunately it’s now pretty much unusable - locking up on almost every invocation.

Bring Back the Old App

The old app worked perfectly well and it was really quick to find bays and read information. The new app has difficult visuals, the heat-map of bays (with numbers and big circles) was a terrible idea.. in the old app you could see individual bays even at a Birds Eye view which was much easier. Overall the UX is not nearly as good in the new app. I’d pay double if you brought back the old app.

Completely broken

Unfortunately the app just doesn't work. I was able to sign up for a free account, then once on the main view, the map rendering starts glitching out and the map stops moving. After restarting the app a few times the map is completely blank except from the location marker.
Completely unusable, shame.

Used to be great, now terrible!

Was perfect until the new update and now so bad. Does not register where I am, cannot read the parking rules of the bay, just rubbish!

Does the job!

Five quid a year is good value for what this app does. Room for improvement yes, but credit to the developer. Keep up the good work!

What’s happened?

Not sure what’s happened - completely unusable now. And I’m on a premium subscription!!!!

Buggy as Hell

I don’t mind paying subscription but for the old version of the app. Looks like the developer is trying to offload the app off IOS and charge its customers externally to avoid paying commission to Apple. I don’t mind paying more if that is the case.

Bring back the old version

I agree with Nelson,s Review I would have written the exact same words. Was fantastic before.

There should be adding minus stars

This app is total useless piece of garbage, I don’t believe I paid for this garbage. Doesn’t show where you are, doesn’t have any button to Find the nearest bay or Drive to pointed bay. WHY YOU ARE KEEPING IN APP STORE??? Remove this garbage for god sake

Glitchy

Free version good but glitchy, freezes up at times. I’d be happy to pay for subscription but it looks like you have give recurring credit details externally with no obvious way of cancelling. If you could pay non recurring or through something where I have more control cancelling I’d take a subscription.

A brilliant app completely ruined

Unnecessary update has removed all functionality. Unusable! Bring back the old version
