Not really suited for tourists

By Robin’s account (Pcmac user)

This app is very helpful for locating stations to collect or drop off bicycles. It tells you both the number of bikes available as well as spaces available to drop off. However, it is of limited use for actually reserving and paying for bikes, at least if your party has more than one person. The app will only allow one rental at a time, which means that all the time you put into setting up your payment method, etc. is really wasted if you have more than one in your group. On a positive note, the kiosks at the rental sites accept cards and allow you to select multiple bicycles at a time. So download the app for tracking and an easy way to locate bikes, but do your actual rental onsite!

Uploaded and used it today with a US credit card with a chip. App told me where to find a bike and how many available. When locating a docking station it informed me of available docks. You must have internet on your phone. 😀
Did not work

By Bookreader001 (Pcmac user)

Could not set up account due to a technical glitch. Also my bank account was charged 3 times without being able to set up the account. This was verified with customer service.
Terrible connectivity

By victord1960 (Pcmac user)

Nice functionality but virtually unusable — keeps crashing or complaining about the lack of Internet connection while there’s a strong signal and all other apps are working just fine
