Social Bicycles for Android
Find your next bike, take it for a ride. Going out for a couple of drinks with friends, don't drive to get there - ride! If impaired take transit or a taxi home. I ride to my intercity bus stop and then find another ride home from from the return train stop, not on the same street or route either. I don't worry about leaving my own ride locked up all day in the open. Clear in the morning, ride; raining on return take transit, no worries. Farmers Market trip is a ride but too much to ride with on way back? No problem just leave it in a sanctioned area like all your other rides. Find bikes generally where they're supposed to be, the bikes can falsely report location but usually are correct. Totally enjoy using the app.
The app could never find my location. It had trouble finding stations to lock up at as well. My bike shifter had to be adjusted. Otherwise, all the pedals did was skip. My GF'S back tire was low. Hardly a bad experience but kinda borderline never the less.
App doesnt send forgot password and when you make a new account it doesnt have a submit button when setting password. Sad!
Can't connect to the network via data or wifi. I chose my city and its stuck on the select a plan. Nothing but a blank white page. I tried the website and it says there's no payment plan available?? Under faq it says registration can be done at a kiosk. I tried to find 2 listed in my city and it put me in the middle of nowhere. Won't use again.
Don't put your bike on hold. Do I still owe them money? Can't tell.
Must be Chinese. Cause the top of the map is always East on my tablet. That works though, since I live to the West of the system's area and am looking 'up' to find bikes.
I wasn't able to get past the "Select a Plan" page. Just a white screen with a title regardless of whether I was on WiFi or not.
For the devs - cannot use this app at all. When I click "reserve" it crashes instantly. Every time. I have OnePlus 3, latest Android. Please fix or contact me if you need further info.
THIS APP IS LITETALLY THE DEFINITION OF TRASH. UPON ACTIVATION MY ACCOUNT WAS FROZEN AND I DIDN'T GET TO RIDE MY BIKE ON THE BEACH :(
I can't login. I got to this app via Breeze bike share in Santa Monica, CA's website. When I try to login, the only option is to use University of South Florida credentials.
5$ for half an hour. Too expensive. Thankfully the monthly pass is only 15$.... But it maxes out at 1 hour a day. Ridiculous.
I can't find how long I have left on my monthly subscription. Telling me "active" doesn't help.
Failed to connect. Poor map interface
Works well most of the time.
E-z breezy, simple & ez to use app.
I love it so convenient
Easy to use.
Great service
We were on Long Island for a family wedding. It was awesome to be able to continue bicycle riding while we were here. The rates are very reasonable, I rented a bike every day, I just wish they had an option by the week. That option would've given them 5 stars.
I wish you could search bikes by end location. The rack by our hotel never had bikes. Where I live....the racks are monitored and bikes moved around to solve that.
Sometimes when I try to cancel my reservation for a bike, it won't let me and will stay stuck on the loading screen until the reservation time runs out.
Very useful, finally managed to work out the kinks of logging in, but i enjoy the ability to use a local bike whenever
But $7 per hour a big turnoff :-(
The bikes is always in repair. The lock will mess up when you lock it but it still charge you even it is lock but the bike can't tell if it is lock. Lack of contact information for help. All you get is an email. The app itself is useless in these situation. You can't take your card off the account. When you unsubscribe you can't log back in even though you still have your number. No way to fix the lock problem. Which is a key point. All this happened for 2 hour at night with my friends before we gave up.
The app works fine and contains the information I need. I would like to see unlock your bike from the app as some of the screens on the bikes can be difficult to read. I would give it 5 stars but if I try to reserve a bike it's always on the other side of the building from where I am standing even if I am standing next to 2 or 3 others.
Reservation process was frustrating. Because you can't reserve two bikes at once, my spouse spent 15 minutes installing/setting up an account and then couldn't reserve one because the app hung. We rented a bike elsewhere instead.
I love the app. Interface is perfect and extremely quick to respond. The last thing missing is the ability to top up my account from the app.
Pretty much useless app.
App works really well and has lots of really handy, user-friendly features. I used the service lots and love instant response when I return a bike.
Lots of places to choose where to get the bikes
Great !!Love the bike riding. App is simple and easy to set up. Tip :Make sure you check out the bike thoroughly before you unlock the bike. They will charge you when you unlock the bike if it's a problem and you take it back. I got charged $0.60 for checking out the bike with in 5 mins.I checked the bike back in due to Sticky handlebars....
I'm in Boise and I really want to rent a bike but I can't create an account. The furthest I've got was to select a plan but from there I can't proceed any further. Useless piece of crap. Needs some basic quality control. Come on guys. I'm on a Galaxy Note 2.
Just locks up after select network. Try to select plan and nothing happens. I need to ride a bike and I want it now! Galaxy s5
Absolutely dirt app. I finished all the steps to complete registration of my Santa Monica Breeze account, clicked "OK, I'm done" and nothing happened. Tried going through registration again three times with different phone numbers and credit cards - nothing worked.
In Santa Monica walked around and tried to 5 different bikes at different locations that were not there. Support could do nothing to help
I will actually be outside of the network coverage area daily (coming in by train). If I am subscribed to a network and I'm outside the network, it should center on the network. Even better, it would be great to be able to bookmark favorite hubs. Another weird thing - one part of the app shows me as a member, another part is I guess just a list of networks but it makes me feel like it's not recognizing my membership. Weird user experience.
Used this service for renting a bike for a friend for an hour and a half for Ciclovia Long Beach the other day. Bike seemed relatively easy to find. Note: the bikes are not performance, or sporty. They are street bicycles with baskets on the front and gripshift style gear adjustment on the handlebar.
I hope the glitches will be fixed soon. The app is useless for now.
Tried to cancel a reservation and it took 20 minutes. It cost me time on my daily free 2 hours.

Ridiculous overpriced, not enough infrastructure in outlying Metro outside down town areas, overpriced for locking outside grid zone, shouldn't have a charge for locking inside gridzone unless the ticket price just to rent was $4 or less. It ought really to be CHEAPER than bus travel, to be a better supplement to bus and light rail, and to incentivize environmentally friendly Transportation for the sake of our beautiful COMMUNITY the generations who will occupy it after us.
