Bad non-EU tourist experience

Here is our experience: App pointed us to 2 bikes with charged batteries 10 minute walk away, the bikes were at 0% charge. Walked another 13 minutes to other bikes with charge. Scanned bike QR, made an account, and the last step is to confirm with an EU phone number, which we don’t have. This information should have been at the beginning.

Instead of enjoying a pleasant ride back to the city we wasted 30-45 minutes standing in the hot sun trying to find a way to get an EU number for sms. Ended up taking the bus and being disappointed. Terrible UX design and a poor way to end our journey.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience was so frustrating. Regarding the battery levels, we rely on the information provided by the mobility operators and update this data as frequently as possible. In rare cases, the actual battery status of a vehicle may differ from what is displayed in the app, or the vehicle may have changed in the meantime. While we do not often receive reports of discrepancies to this extent, we understand how disappointing this must have been in your situation. We're also sorry that you only discovered the phone number requirement at the final stage of the registration process. We understand that this can be particularly inconvenient for international travelers. If you encounter this situation, we encourage you to contact our customer support team, as we can often help find a solution quickly. We are also continuously working to expand the list of supported countries and phone numbers. We regret that your trip did not end as planned and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Your feedback helps us identify areas where the overall user experience can be improved. Your wegfinder Team

Horrible UX

Why put registration process AFTER user scans the QR code - basically when user already needs to ride. Thats when you will find out that non European phone numbers are not supported. Why? The year is 2026, it should be easy. Also, I see error message about non European numbers ONCE, and it never appears again. Have you even tested this app before releasing it? Didn’t get to ride a bike and couldn’t even register, hated the entire experience.

US Support

Please add US support for phone numbers, or at least disclose that the app does not support US before someone is required to make an account in the app.

Response from developer

Hi,at the moment, we are temporarily only supporting phone numbers from the DACH region (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland) for security reasons. We understand that this is inconvenient and sincerely apologize for the limitation. Please be assured that we are working at full speed to restore our usual international phone number support as soon as possible.Thank you for your patience and understanding, your wegfinder Team.

Doesn’t work with US phone numbers

Requires SMS verification but wouldn’t accept my US phone number.

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for your feedback! Currently, our app supports SMS verification only for phone numbers from the EU and Switzerland. We're working on expanding support to include international numbers like those from the US. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Greetings, your wegfinder team.

Amazing!

This app was incredibly useful in finding our way around Vienna - 100% recommend!

User Friendly

I’m very pleased with this apps functionality and ability to help me in my travels. I especially value the “Save Itinerary” “Add to Calendar” etc. Extremely helpful too. Thank you for Making my Life easier!!

Thank you very much for your review!

Best App Ever

With this app, transportation in Vienna was a piece of cake. It helped me find routes easily, on time and makes paying for ticket seamless and convenient... thanks developer !!!

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your review!

Super

Amazing app

Sometimes less is just less

Why would anybody use this when the well established and highly rated incumbent app OeBB Scotty is by far superior? Beside the inferior UX and overall usability, there is no sharing and no adding of a route to calendar which I use all the time!

Response from developer

Hi Roman, very sad to hear that you did not enjoy our app. But please be aware, that we have different goals than the öbb scotty app. Scotty is a well established app for travelling by train and public transport. We, on the other hand, combine said public transport with the sharing economy. With wegfinder you'll find carsharing, scooter sharing, taxi, uber, long distance bus and many more, that won't be available in scotty. Best wishes, Ben

Great App

We're non-urban transit savvy tourists and this App helped us navigate the transit system in a foreign country where we didn't even know the language!

Hi HoopsnFish, thank you very much for your review! We really appreciate it :) We're glad to hear, that you liked our app! Best wishes, Ben from wegfinder

My go-to app for getting around in Vienna

I have to be across town in 45 minutes and am running late... Do I hop a tram around the Ring, cut across with the U-Bahn, or it it impossible to make my event other than auto or taxi, or is there enough time to grab a CityBike? NextStop gives me all the options, quickly and with an attractive interface. Would be 5 stars but for some UI improvements which I hope are coming soon.

Best Wien Navi

Hands down best navi app for Vienna. Great job on the new map with v2.10. Feature request: update current position marker on map to indicate compass heading like Google Maps when in walking mode. Arrow indicates direction phone is pointing. Really helps in unfamiliar areas to find transfer stops. Thx again, great work.

Beautiful, but lacks route map

The app has some great features, and it's beautifully designed; however, when you use Route Planner, it only gives you text directions. No map. You have to go back to the Station Map, move around until you find your start or destination, ask it for "nearby" stations, and then tap around until you find the station you want. It'll show you walking directions to that station only.

Excellent but requires internet connection

Excellent app....does the job pretty well but requires an internet connection. Find a cheap prepaid card with internet and you'll know the local transport system better than a local.

Very good

Super toll
