The app itself is fine. Good account info, bike locations, etc. The act of actually unlocking and using a bike is a pain. For a pay as you go customer, the displays are not always easy to use and the keypads are not very responsive, either taking a long time to register a press or entering a number multiple times. It essentially takes way to long to do this task.

Tried it it in Burlington. The terminals at the back of the bikes barely respond. Bikes themselves are medium-bad, mechanically. The hubs are far apart and aren't in the most convenient locations, nor cover big enough area. The pricing system, that basically sells riding minutes per day, is worse than a typical "unlimited rides as long as you return often enough". The app often keeps "loading" hubs locations and status, refuses to use a credit card as RFID key, etc, don't have space left here...

Abysmal customer experience. I signed up in the buffalo area and was excited to use the service while traveling. I didn't realize I had to use the app to rent a bike, but I signed up and provided payment information. After signing up I tied to use a bike but was informed my account was not active. I emailed the support, hoping they could resolve my issue. I provided my account number but then was asked to reach out to another team at a separate e-mail address. Using this app was a waste of time.
