BCycle

It's 1:30am and I'd like to rent one of these POSes to ride home and return to the station by my house but I've entered all my data, address, cc #s and keep tapping NEXT but it is hung. Can you not create an account at 1:30am!?!?!? Then tell me. Is something else hung up? GIMME A FREAKING CLUUUUEEEEE

Nice app. One irritating thing to complain about - sometimes the GPS position on my device isn't very precise, i am right at the bike station, the GPS dot is about 30 feets off, and the app doesn't let me unlock a bike! This NEEDS a manual override.

Worst app and overall deal I've ever seen on the internet...ever. For get it if you just want to use the bike once for a few minutes...$8.66?

Mostly decent. GPS sucks - I'm standing next to a bike rack for 5-10min repeatedly clicking on the icon to try let me take a bike out. I shouldn't have to coax it like that. Walking to another station. It's like voodoo.

v3.2.5 is good! Easily 5 stars. You can get directions, log your trips, checkout bikes if you're near a station! The only reason I'm holding back a star is past history... if the next releases comes out without breaking anything major, I'll bump this review to 5. The only thing I find a bit wonky is traveling between networks. Say you visit Houston for a weekend. When you get there, the app knows you're in Houston, but still shows the name of your home share at the top of the screen and doesn't show any stations. You have to click the Hamburger Button, then "Show all Locations", then choose Houston. It would be nice if the app noticed you were 3000 miles from home and prompted you to switch to Houston (just like it does with your home share when you first install the app).

I couldn't even open the app. It would crash before loading.

Can't start the app. It's crashing every time I start the app

If it worked it could be really great. Several times I was at a station and it would not allow me to check out a bike because the gps would show that I was about a block away from the station even though I was righr there. The convenience of not having to enter in my phone # and wait for a text was my main reason for downloading the app in the first place. Also the "trip" info was constantly incorrect (one day my ride was shown to be 4.5 miles, the next day the exact same ride was showing 0.33 miles, google maps said it was 2.5!) So if they can work out the bugs it would be great.

Crashes every time I open it. I hope they maintain their bikes better than their app.

The app crashes constantly, poorly designed app.

It seems to be working great

Map is broken on Android. All black. Horrible. How do you expect 70% of all smartphone users to be able to adapt BCycle lifestyle with no guiding points.

All manner of broken on latest Android. Too many problems to list.

The app is unresponsive and slow. Others have complained about the map, but one of the advertised features is that it tells you how many calories you burned, how much CO2 you saved etc, and it simply doesnt. The trips tab is completely broken and will crash on occasion. Finally, the thing is a battery hog, so you have to make sure you close the app completely or it will drain your phone in a couple hours.

The map feature is very difficult to use, as it zoom out the a global view, the finally zooms into a citywide view before you are able to wrestle with it to find a location. It works, but barely.

So stoked about this app. Such an easy way to find a bike. Love that it can be used everywhere.

This app appears to be very old and outdated. Also it's really just a glorified web viewer of a Google Map however it doesn't display any of the BCycle stations.

Finding a bike was easy, but the telemetry is so far off - gps trace had me doing 8.6 miles, B Cycle had me doing 18.8. Seems like they're trying too hard to prove how much CO2 is saved, or the telemetry is just 100% off. My wife's bike had the same error.

Better than the last, but where's the estimated time to bike from location to location.

This update is great! Seems like they addressed all the problems with the old app and included pretty much everything one had to go to the website for, plus added new features like route planning.

"upgrade' to 3.0 from 2.0 has left me with a useless app. map won't show me any stations. When I hit the button in the lower right, which appears to send me to a screen to check out a bike, the app just crashes. Wish I hadn't upgraded.

Loving the new version of the app. Great new features. Easy to use and pretty to look at. #awesome

So stoked about this app. Such an easy way to find a bike. Love that it can be used everywhere.

Just uninstalled after installation. App checks my accounts on my phone. NO App gets notified when my phone is started. NO Get rid of these and I'll put app back on. BTW- I LOVE BCycle in Denver. I'll just walk to the two or three stations close by and find a bike. Not that big a deal.

Useless.

The map doesn't even show the kiosks and bikes that it is supposed to

It seems like empty stations don't show up which is foolish. If I have a bcycle and am looking for a destination station, I need to see all stations, especially empty ones.

Only purpose of the app is to locate a kiosk on a map of the nearby area. If you're already at a kiosk.. There's no point.

It doesn't shows available docks correctly.

Does not work.

I use Bcycle all the time in KC and this app is great for me when trying to find a bike.

It works well and shows the different stations around the city. It also gives the number of docks available and bicycles at each station. Very helpful.

It doesn't shows available docks correctly.

It tells you where the stations are but lacks the ability to tell you where you are relative to them in an efficient manner.

This app appears to be very old and outdated. Also it's really just a glorified web viewer of a Google Map however it doesn't display any of the BCycle stations.

Useless.

Difficult to rate an app when I can't see it.

I love Denver b-cycle and am an avid user. But this app simply doesn't work. Upon download and selection of Denver as my city, this app did not show any bcycle pick-up spots or information. Such a disappointment!

Kind of a waste of an app. It's simply a webview to the Google map on the website with the stations. It'd be neat to be able to store your bcycle card via NFC and have it list the stations and filter by available docks. It's pretty obvious they paid a company a small amount of money just to 'have an app' rather than make something awesome. Hopefully there's a better version in the works.

Good idea... except no centers in NEW YORK???
