Does what it says well. Would be nice to access account information for members, but not necessary.

Great job pushing it to Google Maps. A visual indicator (without having to tap on each one) of the status of the stations in the area would be nice. Update to 5 stars.... Thanks for the visual indicators!

Good app to use when planning if there will be room to return my bike. Downside is it keeps crashing if I go back into the app. I have to completely close it.

D70%
by D####:

I used this app to find the nearest divy bike station near the place I wanted to go. I was not familiar with the area at all, so I relied on this app to get me there safely. When we got there, we couldn't find the station anywhere! We asked around until someone told us the station got moved. This app needs to stay up to date, because it wasted the whole day! Maybe add community features like users commenting on specific stations. Also the GUI is terrible. No menu or layout at all.

M70%
by M####:

Tells u how many spots are available which is key. But my internet does not seem fast enough to load well. So I sit waiting forever to even get my answer if the one by ogilvee has a free spot or not

Q70%
by Q####:

Needs to zoom smaller to start, like google maps size. Would be nice if it came with a timer of sorts so it could remind me when it's getting close to 30 min limit on my rental.

Q70%
by Q####:

Does very well what it promises. It could be better if the map was zoomed into the current location when started. I look forward to updates and more functionalities in further versions.

Thanks, DePaul student - I use this daily and I'm very grateful!

Q70%
by Q####:

Why does the app show broken bikes as available? They are not available and should not be shown that way. Very frustrating.

Just joined the program and this app is just what I needed! Highly recommended!

W70%
by W####:

Would be highly functional if it alerted you of nearest stations as you approach an area and tracks your routes and duration the bike has been in use so you're aware of impending expirations.

It crashes pretty much every time I open it. Works well when it works though! Simple design. Would like to see a closer default zoom as well as locate me automatically. I

This app is a must if your going to rent a bike. With the short time you have its really important to plan yout route and this lets you do that. Divvy really should make this app official because I can't belive they don't have something like this

Mostly good except for it always zooms into downtown before I can get my current location

This app is good to see where the closest divvy bike station is to you & to generally see all locations on a map. Unfortunately, it's not accurate about the number of bikes available at any given station, which is probably due to divvy's operation. I'm going to keep this app on my phone, so I can easily see all locations. Thanks!

-Better initial zoom. Maybe it's just me, but whenever I open the app it is completely zoomed out. Maybe setting initial zoom to .5 or 1 mile? - Favorite docks. For the daily commuter it would be nice to have a list of favorite docks. It would be easier to get off a train and see if the docks you frequent have bikes or spaces. Great app. Thanks for the early release.
