Mobi by Shaw Go - Vancouver for Android
App is fair. Wish it had an easy way to zoom in to your location. The tiny dot they use to mark your location is easily lost with the big icons for stations. Be careful with Stanley Park on busy days, you will likey go over their 30 min limit and be charged $5.25/bike due to lack of stations.
At the very least, the app map could open up on Vancouver without making you scroll across the world from Africa and zoom in. Should be able to map out intended routes and search with any order of street names for intersections. For starters!
I have the same complaint as many other users: hate the fact that I have to zoom in ALL THE WAY from a world map to Vancouver. It doesn't even centre on Canada to start with! Very annoying!! Please fix this bug.
Slow, cumbersome, takes a long time to load and zoom in on you.
Map should start in Vancouver. Not with loading the world map and zooming into Vancouver. Otherwise ok.
Zooming in from the world makes this mostly pointless.... They actual bike service works fine however
Couldn't enter my credit card info. Not sure why. I have a Samsung S6.
Love bikes and up to date rack numbers, but really slow and awkward app. So slow you think it's hung. Sign up better in browser with full web page. No two-finger map zoom. No search. Starts worldwide, irrelevant. Made my phone go haywire. Ate up my free bike time waiting for map to load! Improve and will be stellar service, cuz bike sharing rocks.
In Europe similar bike rentals are free for 1 hour and then 1 Euro for the next hour and for each hour the hourly rate goes up to discourage people from abusing the free / low rate. Much better pricing model and encourages use and returns. No monthly fees either....
** Map is awkward to navigate. ** No map search. ** No way to zoom directly to current location. ** When even a little zoomed out the pins are so huge that you can't see the actual map so can't see where the stations actually are. ** Can't save profile ("enter all fields with a *", yet all are filled and none have a *). ** Can't be installed from a UK Google account and possibly others; think of expats and visitors. ** No way to start a trip from the app (like if you forgot your keyfob).
Clean look, works well and very intuitive design. Good job and worth the wait.

It's good enough to get by but could be better. Why do I have to zoom in from a world map for a Vancouver based system? Please add a 'my location' button like every other map-based service. Also, when trying to buy multiple day passes, the buttons to select number of passes don't seem to do anything and app often needs a restart.
